Fortunes of a Country Girl.
AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
, One day, I will not say
° how many years
ago, tor I intend to be very mysterious for a
time, with' Ty readers—a young woman step
ped from a country wagon which bad just
arrived at the yard gate of the famous Chel
ser inn, the Goat and Compasses, a name
ftirmed by corrupting • the pious , original,
"God encompasseth us." . The young wo
man seemed about the age of eighteen, and
was decently dressed, •though in the plablest I
rustic fashion of the times. She was well
formed and well-looking, both form and:look
giving indications of the' rudy health conse
'quart upon exposure to sun and air -in the
country. After stepping 'from the wagon,
which the driver immediately led into the
court yard, the girl stopped for a motnent in
apparent uncertainty whither to go, when
the mistress of the \ inn, who had, come to the
door, obseryed herlhesitatiOn, and asked her
to eater and take rest. The young woman
readily obeyed the invitation, and Soon, by
the kindness of the landlady, found herself by
the fireside of a'nieely minded parlor, where
withal to refresh herself after a long and te
dious journey.
" And so, my poor girl," said the landlady,
after having, in return for her . kindness, the
whole particulars of the young woman's situ
ation and . history, "so thou bast come all
this way to seek service; ant, bast thou no
friend but John Hodge, the wagoner?—True,
he is like to give thee but small help towards
getting- a place."
"Is service, then, difficult to be had ?" ask-
ed the young woman, sadly.
." Ab, Miry, good situations, at least, are
hard to end. But you have a good heart, r
child," said the landlady, and as she contin
ued, she looked around with an air of iwide
and dignity ; " thou seest what I hare come
to myself; I left the country a young thing
like thyself, with as little to look to. But
tisn't every one for a• ertain, that must 'look
for such a fortune, and in any case it must
be . wrought col:. I showed myself a good ser
mat,- before my good old Jacob, 'leaven ieat
his soul, made me mistress of the Goat and
CompasseL. So mind thee, girl." •
The landlady's speech might have gone on
a great way;;. for the dame' loved well the
sound of her own tongue, but for the inter
ruption occasioned by the entrance of'a gen
tleman, when the landlady rose anil . welcOm
ed him heartily. •
•" Ah, dame," said the new comer, whovas
a stout, respectably attired person of middle
age, "how sells the good ale! Scarcely a
drop left in the cellar, I hope!"
"Enough left to give Sour worship a draught
after your long walk," and she rase to fail
the promise implied by her Words..
"I walked not," was the gentleman's reply;
but took- a pairef oars, dame, down the riv
er. thni;knowest I always corne to Chelsea
myself, te see if thou lacked anything."
" Ah, Sir;" replied the landlady," «and it
is by thatway of doing business that you
have made yourself, as all the city says, the
richest man in all the Brewer's -Corporation,
`if net in all \London itself"
"Well, dame, the better for me if it be so,",
said the brewer, with a smile ; "but let us
have the mug, and this quiet, pretty friend . of
thine shall please us, by tasting with us." .
The landlady was-not long in procuring a
.stoop ufate, knowing that her visitor never
set. an example hurtful to his own interests
hy:codnietiatielng the consinnption of foreign

"Right, hostess;' said the brewer, when

Return of the Kane Expedition.
The Advance- /eft in the lee—New Lands
Found—A. Bridge of Ice from ,Greenland
to the Continent—An open Sea found.
The return of Pr.. Kate and party from
their visit to the Arctic Seas is a gratifying
termination of an adventurous, undertaking
of more than ordinary peril. . The expedition ,
started in May, 1853, and had not been heard
of since July same year.
- The expedition succeeded in crossing Mel
ville -Bay, and reaching the headland of
Smith's Sound, as early as . the Bth of Augusts
4853. . Finding the ice to the North com
pletely impenetrable, they were forced to at-.
tempt a temporary pailkae -along the coast,
where the rapid tides, .running at the rate of
four mileS an hour, with a rise and fall of si)-
teen feet, had worn a temporary -opening.--
Previous to taking this,step, which involved
„Treat risk--‘+ieh -waN, in f:ict, equal to a
L
sacrifice of, the brig . in which Dr. Kane was
—a Francis metallic lire-boa with a cashe
of provisions, was concealed as a means of re
treat. .
The penetration of the pack ice was atten
ded
by many obstacles. The vessel grounded
with every tide, and !but
. for her ! extreme
strength she would not 'tare been able to
sustain the shocks. She ivas several times on
her beam ends, and once on fire- from the
upsetting of the stovesi
. .
• Some idea of this pehtliar navigation' may
be formed by a. knowiedge of the-fact of her
losing her jitdoom, bes t bower anchor - and
bulwarks, hes ides about 600 fathoms of wap
ping line. ! They were cheered, however, by a
small daily progress; and by the 10th of
September, 1853, they had. succeeded in
gaining the northern face of Greenland, at a
point never reached before,
llere the young ice froze - around. the ves
sel, and compelled them to seek a winter asy
lum, in which they ciperienced.a degree• of
cold much below any previous ; registration.
Iflrixkey . froze iii November, and for four
maths the year the mereury was solid dai
ly: The mean annual- temperature. 'was five
degrees belOw zero.- - This is the greatest de
!free of cold ever experienced by
. man, and
tbeir winter quarters were nearer the Pole
than ever before ocenpled.
The scurvy was easily e.ontrollecl, but the
most fearful, as - well as the' -most novel, fea
ture of the winter; was a tetanus, or lockjaw,
Which defied all *treatment. It earriol
away lifts 7 seven of the Eiquitnauxsledge. ,. dob .
and was altogAtheral4„htfuls<iourger.j'
• The operations of search' were commenced
as early as March--the first parties, under
the personal charge of Dr. Kane; crossing the
ice at a teinperature offifty-scren degrees be
low zero. The loss of their dogs obliged
them, as an alternatiTe,,to . adopt
.this early
travel. Many of ther. - arty were frost-bitten,
and underwent an amputation of their toes.--
it was by mearq of tl ese'efforts that the EZ
;
pedition succeeded in bringing back its.re-
itly .as Furl of
made famous in
suits. The parties were in the field as late'as .
the 'loth_ of July, only ceasing from labor.
when the winter's darlitie:ss rendered it. im
possible to travel.
GEOGRAPIIJCAL RESULTS OF THE 'EXPERT.
. Greenland has been followed by Dr. Kane,
anal surveyed, with a coast line towards - the
Atlantic, fronting due North, until a stu
pernicious glacier checked. their piogress.•
This mass of ice rose in lofty grandeur to' a
height of five hundred feet, abutting into the
sea. It undoubtedly is the only obstacle to
die t insularity of Greenland—or, in other
.wotds, the only bariier between Greenland
arid the Atlantic. It is, however, an effectu
al hanier to all further explorations. This
glacier, in spite of the difficulties of falling
bergs, was followed out to sea, the party raft
ing themselves across open, water spaces upon
masses of ice. In this way they succeeded in
travelling eigh 'y miles -along: its base, and
traced it into a new Northern land. (This
glacier is, we b l plieve,, the largest'discaverefl
by any navigator.)
.

NEW LAND.
• This new land, thus cemented to Green
land, by protruding` ice, is named Washing
ton. The large bay which interi-enes betweeri
it and Greenland, bears, we understand, the
name of l'str. George Peabody, one of the , pro
jectors of the 'Expedition. This 'icy connec
tion of the Old and New World is a feature
of singulail and romantic interest.
The range of the fledge journeys 'may be
Understood) from the fact that the entire cir
cuit of Smith's Sound has been effected,_ and
its Shores completely charted. •
But the real discovery of the expedition is
the Open Polar Sea. The channel leading
to these waterswas entirely free from ye, and
this feature was , rendered more . remarkable
by the existence of a zone or solid belt of ice,
extending more than one.hundred an..twenty
five miles to the southward. (This see "veri
fies the views of Dr. Kane, is expressed to the
Geographical Society before hie departure.)—
The. lashing of the surf against the . frozen
beacbof iceivas, we are assured impressive
beyond description. Several gentlemen with
whom we have conversed, Beak . of it with
wonder and admiration. -An area of three
thousand ware Miles was seen, entirely free
from ice. -This channel lias been , named after
Hen. John P. - Kennedy; late Secretary of the
Navy, under' whose auspices the expedition

The extreme severity! of the previous season
made evident that, the brig could ti ot' be lib-
erated before the' - winter set in: Shewas fist
imprisoned in the centre of a large-Meld of
ice. The - provisions although Itbandant,
were mot calculated to resist aeurvy t end ths
fuel, owing to the emergidcies of the winter
nits deficient in_qaantity. Under these try-
lug circumstatices the Dr... with a 'party of
volunteers, made an attempt to' reach the
mouth of Lancaster Sound, in hopes of meet
ing the English expeditions, and thus giving
relief -to his associates, passed in an opeti
boat over the track of Milan's travel, - riding
out a .heavy gale. They found an uninter
rupted barrier of ice, extending in one, great
horse-shoe from Jones' to Murchison's Sot , i v ' s ,
and were forced, after various , Ntpes' to re-

the system of tntitual assistance; the Expedi

and by organizing a hunt, 4elieyed their par
ty. At One time every Mail of the Expedi
tion, except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsel, were
confined o their bunks with Scurvy. Dr.
Kane ha( 7 . to cook, cut ice, &e., andMr.Bon

the party in time to prevent their imprison

de

days of comtant exposUre, they reached'Cape I
Alexander and"embarked in oPe.n' 'water.--
Their guns supplied them With animal food
—no 'provisions being carried in the boats
but powdered breadstuffs and tallow. From
Cape Alexander they. travelled to, the south ,

LEANING THE COAST-FALLING IN WITH lIART-
STEIN'S EXPEDITION.
From Opernivik, the largest of their seAle- -
tnents, they took passage - in a Danish sailing
vessel for England. By a great good fortune,
they touched at Dise, where they were met by
by Capt. liartstein's Expedition. This
last seaicbing expedition had found the
ice of Smith's Sound stilt unbroken, but hav
ing communicated with-he Exquimaux, had
heard of the departure of Dr. Kane and had
retraced their steps.
THE DZATH9 ON THE EXPEDITION,
The Expedition has to mourn the loss of
three of its commas. two of whom perished
of lockjaw, and one from abeess, following
upon a• frozen extremity. These men may be
said to ha're fallen in the direct discharge of
a noble duty : -"Their names are :=—Acting

out South America, great attention is paid tiO
enchauting the value and beauty of the mule
and they are invariably . used for ladie'l rii
aiii, l . The mule there is tenderderly use 4
and is petted equally with his equine relative
Bat we are sorry to say that ezetog us 'the 4
animal is subjected to ! indignities; 'and only
used fur purposes where.labor and not , slioty - 1
is required. The reason I,Chy the? railroad
people prefer them to horses are that' they
will perform the same or a greater amount of
work, and tan consume about half, the grain
required by horses. ' They are - very little, li
able to di-sear and spaying, itad , are much
longer lived. I In fact the mule - is only - par,
ticular about the water he drinks.: If it is in
the least turbid he cannot be induced, even
by suffering, to touch it. A horse rarely lives,
in the 'city, to the - age of fifteen; the writer of
this article has.seen mules in . capital condition,
working in Kentucky, that Yiere more . than
thirty years old, and with no appearance , of
declining strength. Most of the: : mules 'we
see aro raised in that State, where great care
is taken in their breeding, and many of theni
are of very large size. . .
Unlike the 'horse; which. is 'broken to. work
at_three years old, the Mule's colthood lasts
until the seVonth summer, and in market
.he
costs about double the price of a horse. .
The animal in'question, - however, has . some
vices; indeed,he is full of Tice, for he kicks
without any prOvocation, or . any other: pro
motion that simply: laying back his aural
appendages.. But it ig all owing to bad blood
—his father. was an ass! - • Let him'' that •is
disposed to judge Mr.llnie harshly, take on
cogitation—and, before casting a reflection or
it stone, ask hiinself if some of hii'otra vices
are not similarly derived. ' -
