A WINTER SONG
Winter, grorions Winter reigns,
In robes of spotleas white,
And earth is bound with icy chains
Of brilliancy and light;
The snow, the fair and lovely snow,
Around us now it lies,
A mantle of pure light below,
Just fallen from the skies.
CHOIICS.
A welcome, then, to winters reign,
Upon the earth below,
For life and joy are in its train
Across the silvery allow. . .
Resplendent is the glittering sheen
The beauteous day displays ;
As'o'er the wide and dazzling scene
Shine forth the sun's bright rays.
The costly jewels rich and rare,
Afar in eastern mine,
Can never with the gems compare
That sparkling 'round us shine.
A welcome, then, Ice.
And when at night the jeweled sky
Vies with the glittering frost,
And envious Cynthia weeps on high
The glory she has lost,
It thrills the heart to ride along
• The fields of boundless white,
While merry bells peal forth their song
To cheer us on our fiiglll.
A welcome, then, Ac.

A SKETCH BY DR. WILLIAM ELDER
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 con
cerned to know how he grew into his ma
turity of excellence. This curiosity is
'not an idleness of the fancy, but a person
al interest in the facts that spring out of
those aspirations which put every man
upon the fulfilment of his own destiny.—
How came this twin to excel--whit was in
him—what happened to develop it ? "Some
men are born to be great ; sonic achieve
greatness ; some have greatness thrust
'npon them." • How came this man by it
Is it within my reach also ? aud, by whar
means? History provokes us with sdch
queries as these. Biography answers
them.
Doctor Elisha Kent Kaue not quite
34 years old, yet he has done more than
circumnavigated the globe : he has visited
and traversed India, Africa, Europe, South
America, the Islands of the Pacific, and
twice penetrated the Arctic region to the
highest latitude wtained by civilized man.
He has encountered the extremest perils
of sea and land, in every climate of the
globe ; he has discharged in turn the se
verest duties of the soldier and seaman;
attached to the United States Navy as a
surgeon, he is, nevertheless, engaged at
one time in the coast survey of the tropi
cal ocean, and in a month or two, we find
him exploring the frigid zone ; and all the
while that his personal experiences had
the character of romantic adventure, he
was pushing them in the spirit of scientific
and philanthropic enterprise.
As a boy, his instinctive bent impelled
him to the indulgence and enjoyment of
such adventures as were best fitted to
train him for the work before him. His
collegiate studies suffered some postpone
ment while his physical qualities pres
sed for their necessary training and
discipline. It was almost in the spirit .of
truen'B'y that he explored the Blue Moun
tains of Virginia, as a student of geology,
under the guidance of Professor Rodgers,
and cultivated, at once, his hardihood of
vital energy and those elements of natural
science which were to qualify him for his
after service Hi the field of physical geog
raphy. But, in due time, he returned to
the pursuit of litenture, and achieved the
usual honors, as well as though his college
studies had suffered no diversion—his mus
cles and nerves were educated, and his
brain lost nothing by the indirectness of
its development, but was rather corrobora
ted for all the uses which it has served
since. He graduated at the University of
I Pennsylvania—first in its collegiate, and
afterwards, in its medical departnient.—
His special relishes in study indicated his
natural drift : chemistry and surgery; nat
ural science in its most intimate converse
with substance; and the remedial art in its
most heroic function. He went out' -from
his vi'lma .hater a good classical scholar,
a good chemist, mineralogist, astronomer,
and surgeon. But he lacked, or thought
he lacked, rohustness of frame and sound
nesss of health. He solicited an appoint
ment in the navy, and upon his admission,
demanded active service. He was appoint
ed upon the diplomatic staff as surgeon to
the first American Embassy to China.—
This position gave him opportunity to ex
plore the Phillippine Islands, which he ef
fected mainly on foot. He was the first
man who descended into the crater of
Tael ; lowered more than a hundred feet
by a bamboo rope from the overhanging
cliff, and clambering down some seven
hundred more through the scotias, he made
a topographical sketch of the interior-of
this great volcano, collected a bottle of
sulphurous acid from the very mouth of
the crater; and although he was drawn up
almost senseless, lie brought with him his
portrait of this hideous cavern, and the
'specimens which it afforded.
Before he returned home from this trip,
he had ascended the Himaloyas, and trian
gulated Greece, on foot ; he had visited
Ceylon, the Upper Nile, and all the my
thologic rregion of Egypt; traversing the
route, and making the acquaintance of the
learned Lepsius, who was then prosecuting
his archaeological researches.
At home again, when the Mexican war
broke out, he asked to be removed from
the Philadelphia Navy Yard to the field of
a more congenial service ; but the govern
ment sent him to the coast of Africa.—
Here he visited the slave factories, from
Cape Mount to the river Bonny, and
through the infamous Da Souza, got access
to the baracoods of Dahomey, and contract
ed, besides, the Coast Fever, from the ef
fects of which he has never entirely recov
ered.
From Africa he returned before the
close of the Mexican war, and believing
his constitution was broken, and his health
rapidly going, he called upon President
Polk and demanded an opportunity for
service that might crowd the little rem
nant of his life with achievements in keep
ing with his ambition; the President, just
then embarrassed by a temporary non-in
tercourse with,General Scott, charged the
,Doctor with despatches to the General, of
great moment and urgency, which must be ,
carried through a region occupied by the
enemy. The embassy was marked by an
adventure so romantic, and so illustrative
of the character of the man, that we are
tempted to detail it.
On his way to the Gulf he secured a
horse in Kentucky, such as a knight er
rant would have chosen for the companion
and sharer of his adventures. Landed at
Vera Cruz, he asked for an escort to con
vey him to the Capital, but the officer in
command had no troopers to spare—he
must wait, or he must accept, instead, a
a band of ruffian Mexicans, called the Spy
Company, who had taken to the business
of treason and trickery for a "livelihood.—
He accepted them, and went forward.—
Near Puebla his troop encountered a body
of Mexicans escorting a number of distin
guished officers to Orixaba, among whom
were Major General Gaona, Governor of
Puebla, his son Maximilian, and General
Torejo - n, who commanded the brilliant
charge of Horse at Buena Vista. The
surprise was mutual, but the Spy Company
had the advantage of the ground. At the
first instant of the discovery, and before
the rascals fully comprehended their in
volvement, the doctor shouted in Spanish,
"Brovo ! the adventure, Colonel, form
your line for the charge !" And down
they went upon the enemy; Kane and his
gallant Kentucky charger ahead. Under
standing the principle that sends a tallow
candle through a plank, and the momentum
of a body is its weight multplied by its
velocity, he dashed thro' the opposite force,
and turning to engage them after breaking
their line he found himself fairly surround
ed, and two of the enemy giving him their
special attention. One of these was dis
posed of iu an instant by rearing his horse,
who with a blow of his foot, floord his man;
and wheeling suddenly, the Doctor gave
the other a sword wound, which opened the
external iliac artery, and put him hors de
combat. This subject of the Doctor's mil
itary surgery was the young Maximilian.—
The 'brief melee teminated with a cry
from the Mexicans, "we surrender." Two
of the officers made a dash for au escape,
the Doctor pursued them but soon
gave up the chase. When he returned,
he found his ruffians preparing to massacre
the prisoners. As he galloped past the
young officer whom he wounded he heard
him cry, "Senor save my father." A
group of guerrilla guards were dashing
upon the Mexicans huddled together, with
their lances in rest. He threw himself be
fore them—one of them transfixed his horse
another gave him a severe wound in the
groin. He killed the first lieutenant,
wounded the second lieutenant, blew a part
of the colonel's beard off with the last
_charge 'of his six-shooter; then grappling
him, and using his flits, he brought the
party to terms. The lives of the prison
ers were saved, and the Doctor received
their swords. As soon as General Gaoha
could reach his syn, who lay at a little dis
tance from the scene of the last struggle,
the Doctor found him sitting l him, re
ceiving his last adieus. Shifting the sol
dier and resuming the surgeon, he secured
the artery, and put the wounded man in a
condition for travel. The ambulance got up
for the occasion, contained at once the
wounded Maximilian, the wounded second
lieutenant, and the man that had prepared
them for slow travelling, himself on his
litter, from the lance wound received in
defence of his prisoners ! When they had
reached Puebla, the Doctor's wound proved
the worst in the party. He was taken to
the government house, but the old Gener
al, in gratitude for his generous services,
had him conveyed to his own house. Gen.
Childs, American commander at Puebla,
hearing of the generosity of his prisoner,
discharged him without making any terms,
and the old general became the principal
nurse of his captor and benefactor, divid
ing his attentions between him and his 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, he
was employed in the Coast Survey. While
engaged in this service, the government by
its correspondence with Lady Franklin be
came committed for an attempt at the res
cue of Sir John and his ill-starred compan
ions in Arctic discovery. Nothing could
be better addressed to the Doctor's govern
ing sentiments than this adventure. The
enterprise of Sir John ran exactly in the
current of one of his own enthusiasms—
the service 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 execu
tion 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
spirited woman to the chivalry of the Amer
ican navy.
He was "bathing in the tepid waters of
the Gulf of Mexico, on the 12th of May,
1850," when he received his telegraphic
order to proceed forthwith to New York,
for duty upon the Arctic expedition. In
nine days from that date he was beydnd
the limits of the United States on his dis
mal voyage to the - North Pole. Of his
first American expedition, as is well known
to the public, he was the surgeon, the nat
uralist, and the historian. It returned
disappointed of its main object, after a
winter in the regions of eternal ice and a
fifteen months' absence.
Scarcely allowing himself a day to re
cover from the harhships of his cruise, be
set on foot the second attempt, from which
he has returned, after verifying by actual
observation the long questioned existence
of an open sea beyond the latitude of 82
deg., and beyond the temperature of 100
deg. below the freezing point. His "Per
sonal Narrative," published in 1853, re
counts the adventures of the first voyage,
and discovers his diversified qualifications
for such an enterprise.
The last voyage occupied two winters in
the highest latitudes, and two years and k
half of unintermitted labor, with the risks
and responsibilities attendant. He is now
preparing the history for publication. But
that part of it which best reports his own
personal agerroy, and would most justly
present the man to the reader, will of
course be suppressed. We would gladly
supply it, but as yet this is impossible to
us. His journal is private property ; the
extracts which we may expect will be only
too shy of egotism, and his companions
have not spoken yet, as some day they will
speak, of his conduct throughout the ter
rible struggles which together they endu
red.
To form anything like an adequate esti-

mate of this last achievement, it is to be
remembered that his whole company
amounted to but 20 men, and that of his
corps or crew he was the commander, in
naval phrase ; and when we are apprised
that his portfolio of scenery, sketched on
the spot in pencil, and in water -colors
kept fluid over a spirit-lamp, amounts to
over three hundred sketches, we have a
hint of the extent and variety of the offices
he filled on this voyage. He was in fact
the surgeon, sailing-master, astronomer
and naturalist, as well as captain and lead
er of the expedition.
• This man of all work, and desperate da
ring and successful doing, is in height
about five feet seven inches ; in weight, say
one hundred and hirty pounds or so, if
health and rest would give him leave to fill
up his natural measure. His complexion
is fair, his hair brown, and his eyes dark
gray, with a hawk look. He is a hunter
by every gift and grace and instinct that
makes up the character; an excellent shot,
and a brilliant horseman. He has escaped
with whole bones from all his adventures,
but he has several wounds which are trou
blesome; and with such general health as
his, most men would call themselves inva
lids, and live on furlough from all the ac
tive duties of life ; yet he has won the dis
tinction of being the first civilized man to
stand in latitude 82 deg. 30 min. and gaze
upon the open Polar Sea-4o reach the
northernmost point of land on the globe—
to report the lowest temperature ever en
dured—the heaviest sledge journeys ever
performed—and the wildest life that civil
ized 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 adven
tures in pursuit of science; in his enthusi
astic fidelity to duty, and in his heroic
maintenance of the point of honor in all his
intercourse with men.
In his deportment there is that mixture
of shyness and frankness, simplicity and
fastidiousness, sandwiched rather than
blended, which marks the man of genius,
; and the monk of industry. He seems con
fident in himself but not of himself. His
manner is remarkable for celerity of move
ment, alert attentiveness, quickness of
comprehension, rapidity of utterance and
sententious compactness of diction, which
arise from a habitual watchfulness against
the betrayal of his own enthusiasms. He
seems to fear that he is boring you, and is
always discovering his unwillingness "'to
sit" for your admiration. If you question
him about the handsome official acknowl
edgments of his services by the British and
American governments, or in any way en
deavor to turn him upon his own gallant
achievements he hurries you away from the
subject to some point of scientific interest
which he presumes will more concern and
engage yourself ; or he says or does some
thing that makes you think that he is oc
cupied with his own inferiority in some
matter which your conversation presents
to him. One is obliged to struggle with
him to maintain the tone of respect which
his character and achievements deserve ;
and when the interview is over, a feeling
of disappointment remains for the failure
in your efforts to ransack the man as you
wished, and to render the tribute which
you owed him.
We wish we could be sure that he will
not, in his forthcoming work, give us the
drama without the hero ; or we wish the
expedition and its hero had a chronicler as
worthy as he would be were he not the
principal character in the story.
Dr. Kane's Narrative of the Expedition,
now preparing, and in process of publica
tion by Messrs. Childs & Peterson, of
Philadelphia, will embrace the important
discoveries made in the frozen regions far
beyond the reach of all the predecessors
of the American exploring party, and their
perilous adventures, crowded with roman
tic incidents, which, in the language of
the Secretary of the Navy, "not only ex
cite our wonder, but borrow a novel gran
deur from the truly benevolent considera
tions which animated and nerved him on
to his task."—Graham's .Magazine, Feb.,
1856.
Rupture between France and England
Judging from the tone and temper of some
of the English journals, weshould say that the
entente cordiale between the two great western
powers, and about which so much has been
said and sung on both .sides of the channel,
was in a fair. , way of being interrupted. 'We
oopy the following from the London Herald
of the 28th ultimo. The italic's are our own :
" In our second edition of yesterday appear
ed the most remarkable and important docu
ment which the progress of the war has' yet
produced—we refer, of course, to the State
paper published in Paris, in the shape of a
brochure, entitled Necessity of a Congress
fur pacifying Europe, by a Statesman.' Its
inspiration, if not its direct authorship, has
been referred to that source from whence have
proceeded many of the ablest papers on the
Eastern question which have of late been giv
en to Europe. In a word, it is recognized by
the French press as the production of the head
of the French government; and, assuming that
it reflects the opinions and views of NAPOLEON
111, we do not hesitate to say that it will be
perused in these countries with eminent disap
pointment and dissatisfaction. After a most
careful consideration of its contents, we have
come to the conclusion that France dues not
think she will find her account in a further
prosecution of the war, and that it is the de
liberate opinion of Paris that the object of the
war h :s been accomplished in the fall of Se
bastopol and the destruction of the Russian
fleet in the Euxine. To the censure upon cer
tain members of the English press with which
this brochure opens, we frankly admit that
we are amenable. We have been the con
sistent and determined advocates for the con
quest of a secure peace. We have endeavor
ed to show that the security of Europe against
the aggression of Russia is only to be obtained
by the sword. We are still of that opinion,
and are, in the present posture of affairs, suf.
ficiently perverse as to place more reliance in
the arbitianess of battle than even in the sage
resolutions and calm attitude of the allied gpv
ern m en ts.'
" But the feature in this brochure which
we least like is the apologetic tone which it as
sumes for Russia, and the rather undignified
character of the appeal to that power to, take
the initiative in the formation of a Peace Con
gress."

respondent of the New York Coznmercial Ad
vertiser, under date of 30th ult., states that
more than 100,000 bbls. flour, and 28,000 bush
els wheat had arrived there that week from
the United States. There had also been re

Africa and coastwise. The transactions were
dull, and prices somewhat declined. American

A MIGHTY MACHINE
One of the most witty writers of the present
day is a Lieutenant of the U. S. Army, named
Derby, who, under the nom de plume of "John -
Phoenix," contributes regularly to a monthly
magazine called the "California Pioneer" and
the San Diego Herald. Here is a specimen of
his writing, in which he describes "a mighty
machine for abstracting teeth :"
Tushmaker was never regularly bred
as a physician or surgeon, but he possessed
naturally a strong mechanical genius and a
fine appetite; and, finding his teeth of peat
service in gratifying the latter propensity, he
concluded that he could do more good in the
world, and create more real happiness therein,
by putting the teeth of its inhabitaut3 in good
order, that in any other way: su Tushinaker
became a dentist. .
- - -
"Tushmaker was one day seated in his of
fice, in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, when
a stout old fellow, named Byles, presentd
himself to have a tooth drawn. The dentist
seated his patient in the chair of torture, and,
opening his mouth, diScovered there an enor
mous tooth, on the right hand side, about as
large, :is he afterwards expressed - it, "as a
small Polyglot Bible." "I shall have trouble
with this tooth," thought Tushmaker, but he
clapped on his heaviest forceps and pulled.—
It didn't come. Then he tried the turn-screw;
exerting his utmost strength, but the tooth
.wouldn t stir. "Go away from here," said
Tushmaker to Byles, "and return in a week,
and I'll draw that tooth for you, or , kuow the
reason why." Byles got u.p, clapped a hand
kerchief to his jaw, and put forth. Then the
dentist went to work, and in three days in
vented an instrument which he was confident
would pull anything. It was the combination
of the lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined
plane, wedge and screw. The castings were
made, and the machine put in the office, over
an iron chain, and rendered perfectly station
ary by iron rode going down into the founda
tion of the granite building. In a week old
Byles returned; he was clamped into the iron
chair, the forceps connected with the machine
attached firmly to the tooth, and Tushmaker,
stationing himself in the rear, took hold of a
lever four feet in length. He turned it slightly;
old Byles gave a groan, and lifted his right
leg. Another turn; another groan, and up
went the leg again. "What do you raise your
leg fur?" asked the doctor.
"41 can't help it," said the patient.
"Well," rejoined Tushmaker, "that tooth
is bound to come now." •
"He turned the lever clear round, with a
sudden jerk, and snapped old Byle's head
ch_an and clear from his shoulders, leaving it
space of four inches between the several parts.
They had a post morteni examination; the
roots of the tooth were found extending down
the right side, through the right leg, and
turning up in two prongs under the sole of the
right foot!
"No wonder," said Tushmaker, "he raised
his right leg."
"The jury thought so too, but they found
the roots much decayed; and five surgeons
swearing that mortification would have en
sued in a few months, Tushmaker was cleared
on a verdict of "jiistifiable homicide."
"He was a littltshy of that instrument for
some time afterwards; but one day an old
lady, feeble and flaccid, came in to have a
tooth drawn, and, thinking it would come out
very easy, Tushmaker concluded, just by way
of variety, to try the machine. He did so,
and at the first turn drew the old lady's skel
eton completely and entirely from her body,
leaving her a mass of quivering jelly in her
chair ! Tushmaker took her home in a pillow
case. She lived seven years after that, and
they called her the "India Rubber Woman."
She had suffered terribly with the rheum.itiz:4m,
but after this occurrence never bad a pain in
her bones. The dentist kept them in a glass
case. After this the machine was sold to the
contractor of the Boston Custom House; and
it was found that a child of three years of age
could, by a single turn of the screw, raise a
stone weighing twenty-three tons. Smaller
ones were made on the same principle, and
sold to the keepers of hotels and restaurants.
They were used for boning turkeys. There is
no moral to this story whatever, and it is pos
sible that the circumstances may have become
slightly exaggerated. Of course there can be
no doubt of the truth of the main incidents."

T3IDCWAY rARM AND AGRICii,CTU
11,1tAL COMPAN Y.—A Farm within the reach of every
Mau. Pennsylvania Land. Twenty-seven thousand
acres of good land have deen purchased, with the inten•
tion of giving s Farm of twenty-five Acres for each share,
payable by instalments of one dellar.a week.
It is located iu the county of Elk, where a junction will
aouu be formed by tour railroads. immediately 'Connecting
it, with its great agricultural and coal resources, with Erie,
Dunkirk, Buffalo, Rochester and all the cities on tha Lakes.
Also a road leading directly to N. York. one directly from
this property to Philadelphia and intermediate places, one
directly from this property to Pittsburg, and one directly
from this property connecting with the Western roads,
forming the grandest concentration of railroads upon any
one spot in Pennsylvania, tending at once to develop its
immense agricultural and coal resources. The soil fa not
surpassed in richness by any is the State. ]t is divi
ded—
I.—lnto farms or shares of twenty-five Acrer, at the
price of two-hundred dollars. which is payable in instal
ments of one dollar per week.
11.—Into farms or half shares of twelve and a half acres,
at the price of $lOO payable, in instalments of t dollars
a month or by the week.
Besides this, there is a valuable saw mill upon the prop
erty, and one hundred.and fifty lots in the thriving town
of St. Mary's, which the subscribers get.
This originally formed part of a large tract, a great por
tion of which was settled by industrious and educated
Germans. 1111 Inhering souse men tv-live hundr,d. They se
lected the land on account of Its agriculturil and mineral
wealth, which alone is an indisputable evidence of the
facts, as they are well known to be superior judges upon
these subjects. They went there some twelve years ago,
and they now have a thriving and beautitul settlement,
which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms. St.
Mary's Is the town of the settlement, and is rapidly in
creasing in population. It has hotels as good as any In
the state—flue stores—a college, where the highest branch
es of education are taught, both li:erary and musical—saw
mills, grist mills, coach manufactories, and every thing
conceivable to add wealth and prosperity to the place.—
The land of the company surrounds this town, and all the
improvements, thereby reaping the benefits, and present
ing a splendid opportunity for settlement. Limes , one
abounds. This is both an evidence of the quality of the
soil and a great fertilizer. At St. Mary's it sells at from
ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt.
. .
The timber Is of greet value, and consists of Cherry, Ash,
Chesnut, Pine, Oak and Hemlock, all of primeval growth,
of great sloe, and towering from eighty to a hundred and
twenty feet high. That which tho stockhelders do not
want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions
to cut It in a certain time. This will clear the land, and
bring a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to
the reduction of the price of the farms.
This explains its agricultural resources. But there is
another consideration of equal, If not greater, importance.
The land is one great bed of coal. Upon this property it is
literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest
map, first at this locality, and then over the State, it will
be found to possess the grandest feature of prosperity,
Im
provement, and almost immediate development. It is eu•
parlor to any other. It is the only place having the great
concentration of railroads, by which New York, the Lakes.
Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at Its doors. There IS no
coal In New Yurk, and ou account of its northernly situa
tion, it possesses the advantages of nearness. This is des
tined to become the Pottsville of that portion of the State.
The prospect in the insure for this place exceeds any that
Pottsville ever had: and theie, land which a few years ago
was selling at five and ten dollars en acre, when the rail
road opened its mines sold for from two to five hundred
dollars an acre. These are facts. Those who are ignorant,
let them make inquiry. Improvement is still progressing.
So arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the past, and
then what will this land be! It is proper that reason
should give the answer.

on a great extent the locomotives are running. The rails,

They. will be distributed when they are half paid for. Bv
that time the railroads will be finished. That will he

that is done property will go up one hundred per cant
Speculation in coal woula et 011C0 run It up to such a
price as would make it impossible to obtain for agrlcultur•
al purposes. We now get it without paying the thou Im•
proved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise.
A tract of about two thousand acres will he laid off tt
once, and ready by next Spring, in order that persons who
wish to farm immediately can do so.
Friends and relatives.. well with°. having more than
one share can hays their farms together.
An Improvement deportment will also be oonneetcd
with the company. By title means. in :der to acoommo

These embrace the principal features, and an excellent
opportunity is now offeren for a man to obtain a home for
himself, hie wife and children, either at the- present or
