Any month of the year, in pelting through
South Western Virginia or Eastern Ten
nessee,
you may meet the huge and heavi
ly-laden covered wagons of the country,
filled with emigrants, the children of the
soil, seeking-new homes far away. In the
depth of last winter, I came upon a family
among the mountains, where something
like a northern winter is known ; the father
was on the ground in the wet snow and ice,
urging on his horses over wretched roads,
and the cumbrous wagon creaking lazily
along. "An odd time to be moving, isn't
it, stranger ?" he called out. "How far do
you go, my friend, in such weather—not a
long. journey, I hope ?" "Oh," said he, "over
in Kalmuck, about sixty miles further, I
reckon." By such modes of travelling
thousands have changed their homes every
year. Every variety of condition in life is
to be encountered on the road, but especi
ally those on whom the world has not smiled.
They are the hardy descendants, many of
them, of the early Scotch and Irish settlers
of this mountain region; and the peculiari
ties, of that frontier and Comparatively rude
state of civilization, are fur enough from
having vanished to this day. Their ances
tors fought well, as King's Mountain in
North Carolina, and the fierce fight victori
ously maintained there, against British va
lor in the Revolution, bears witness. At
this time these mountaineers are essentially
a military population. Naturally they have
steady sense and acuteness of mind, and
particularly shrewd at a bargain. Their
learning is seldom such as is seen inside of
school-houses: it may not even include an
ability to read and write ; but they are pret
ty good judges of a stump speech, of a . set..
mon, or of an argument at the bar ; from
these is drawn their education. They are
moreover good horsemen, marksmen, and
himters, and capital judges of horseflesh
and stock in general; but the men, at least,
are not remarkable for agricultural industry,
for the patient thrift and the intelligent skill
that make the successful farmer. They are
squatters rather than farmers. It is certain
et least that very considerable tracts in the
mountain districts of Carolina and Tennes
see have been occupied and cultivated in
no other way, and the rightful owners of the
soil have found it difficult and hardly. pro
fitable to disposiess those occupants. •
Mark the courteous manners even of The
lowest acrd most ignorent; - there is a frank,
ready, and kindly address. seldom seen in
the same class elsewhere. Withal, the eel
loW, gaunt visage of poverty anti• sickness
is too often to be observed. Some . ..are not
too proud to ask an alms as they goon their
way. I met a family group near the Cum ,
berland mountains this summer ffint had
travelled. on. irt sickness 'and feebleness, ono
hundred mike on foot, and one of the boys
asked for, money to buy some cofThe for his
sick sister. The poor girl was borne along
in the arms of her mother. • , qle,'' said the
ivife,--Meaning her hUsband, "he would not
take if hose or live in °fie, lest he shotild
)mve to work.' At the next cabin in the
WOods I callbd for a-mament ; . .tvoitr money
will go, for liquor," said' - the: notth of. the
botise, "I-know such movers right vol . . -

From Holden's Dollar Magazir.
The Ptilse of Life.
The low, soft puke has a murmuring tone,
That speaks from out the heart ;
A gentle whisper scarcely heard,
Bat is of life a part
What meanings lie in every stroke
That measures out our year s.
Fraught with the secrets of the heart
Of rapture or of tears !
When anguish with its heavy weight,
Lies on the burdened soul,
The muffled dkrob idencaesits_date,
As drum the funeral roll.
And when love's secret power is there,
Touching each trembling string,
The pulse flies swift. as dart through air,
And. soft as.gent . lest wing.
When firm in love of rig,hl, it moves
With n beat full and strong—
To Fear and Danger—oh! what power
To hold the pulse belong!
It has its thrill for every hope,
Its throb for every woe,
Its fluttering for the wildest joy,
The human soul can know:
A silent Index of the heart
True as the hands of Time—
The same of life—its latest spark
Is pulsed by its last sign.
What Volumes could it oft disclose,
Shut from the human eye— .
'Tis only .God who moves'it knows,
Its secrets with him lie!

Families Mnbe these journies in ponder-
OUR wagons, closely stowed with all sorts of
rtitlinary apparatus. when they have it, or
perhaps in lieu of this, a man or woman of
.African descent is lodged among the
,other
household stuff, the sole indication of Wealth
or station on the part of the family that is
moving. Some are tramping on foot, the
men stepping off straight and erect like In
dians, with misty rifles slung at their backs.
At night they camp out in a wood, or tinder
n big true by the road-side, heap up a huge
lire of loge, prepare corn-cakes and bacon
fur supper, tie lily their hinses fast to the
waggon, and soon all lure stretched out seek
ing rest for the night. This is the life of
rest numbers for weeks together, and the
weather is so mild during a large part of
the year as to make this pleasant. There
is an independence about it that has a charm
and there is good in it, also for the pilgrims,
of a higher kind, if their travel's are not pro
tracted too far, or pursued too long; they
shake off the eGcts of poor training and
unfortunate associations at home; they de
velope new resources, impart new energy,
and are often the beginning of successful
-and-honerable - endeavory — A - m ong - Among
neighbors these persons had been neglected,
and to some extent depressed and kept down.
They were not wanted as neighbor's, and I
were not eared for ; they grew up untaught
and ignorant. They knew the road to the
great man's door in their vicinity, and in
some parts could hardly tell another road
but the one to mill. Even the negroes
looked down in scorn upon "poor white
folks." Their houses were the rude log
.cabins of frontier backwoods life, sixty and
seventy years since, when the Indian was
still powerful, and spread over the land.
Two rooms is a large allowance in such
establishments, each consisting of a square
"log-pen," plastered more os less thorough. ,
ly at the interstices with the strongly ad ,
hesive clay of the country, but few attemp
ting to exclude the air, or starlight : to have
them quite close, were it practicable, is not
considered healthy. Those who lived year
in and year out, contentedly in such tene
ments, have the same Anglo-Saxon blood
coursing 'through their veins, that beats
proudly in the
. hearts. of the wealthy and
the great ; and, what is better, they possess
the mind, and sense, and resolved will of
the same bold race. Leaving behind them
their:old homes in the upper country of the
Carolinas, in Georgia and. Tennessee, they
go, a small part of therir to Texas, and to
Mississippi; they, chiefly, have settled Ar
kansas and ,Missouri; there they rise 'to
affluence, in real respectability and consi ,
deration; and their children—rank often
among the truly eminent and noble of the
land. From this stock have sprung sena
tors and statesmen whom the whole people
have delighted to honor.
The Frozen ship-.
At this period, when so much anxiety pre
vails respecting the fate of Sir John Frank
lin, everything relating to the Polar regions
is of intereit. The following sketch is one
of the most thrilling we have ever heard.
' One serene evening in the middle of A'u'-
crust, 1775, Capt. Warrens, the master of
the Greenland, whaleship, found himself be
calmed among an immense number of ice
bergs in about 77 degrees of north latitude.
On one side, and within a mile of his ves
sel, these were closely wedged together, and
a succession of snow-colored peaks appear
ed behind each other as far as the eye
could reach, showing, that the ocean was
completely blocked up in the quarter, and
that it had probably been so - for a long pe
riod of time. Capt. IVarrens- did not feel
altogether satisfied with his situhtion ;• but
there being no wind he could not move one
way or the other, and he therefore kept a
strict watch, knowing that he would be safe
as long as the icebergs continued in their
respective. places.
About midnight the Wind rose to a gale,
accompanied by thick showers of snout,
while tt succession of tremendous thunder
ing, grinding, and crashing noises, gave fear;
ful evidence that the was in motion:—
The vessel received violent shocks every.
moment; for the haiiness of the atmosphere
prevented those on board from discovering
in what direction the , open Water-ley, or if
there actually was any at all on either side
of them. The night was spent in tacking
as often as any cause of danger haptiened
to .present itself, an' in the morning the
storm abated, and Coptilitat'rens found to
his great astonishment, that his ship ha& rait
sustained, any serious injnry. lie remark
ed' With surprise, that the_ accumulated ice
bergs, which had , on the preceding evening
formed, an -impenOtrable. birrier; had been
separated and disarranged hy the wind, and
in one.place a canal . ol-open.sett 'waned its
cotirse alinon - g:thona. RS' lar ati - lhe. eye could
discern. ' '
It was 'two pollee beyond the:entrance of
this canal, that a ship - made 'its appearance
about noon. '.Thei sun ahor{o brightlYat-the.
timo, and a gentle breeze blewfroui the north.
