Oh 1 bear them to their rest! White roses on their b'-easts and in their hands; Through slumber deep and blest The}' pass in beauty to the eternal land?. Theirs was no outworn life Of failing hopes and unremembered vows ; The world's 6ad care and 6trifo Ilad traccd no sorrows on their marble brows. O, call thorn not too young ! God's pence was on their lips?their life was love; Long was their stay?loo long For angels who had left their homes above. The weeping Spring shall come And 6pread-the pnths they loved with glistening green; The jay shall build lu-r home In arbors where their favorite seats have been. They shall come back no inore, Morning shall miss their glad sweet smiles, and deep The pine's perpetual roar . Break.o'er the spot where, side by side, they sleep ! And wil| ye still complain.

Beyond this prison house of dark regret. ji pcnccc sum were ours, Ye could not mourn tlicm lo-it, but liumbly say: "The Father gave those (lower?, And the dear Father taketli them away !

[From- the Phrenological Journal.] The Esquimaux Indians. The Arctic Ocean is encircled by a coast three thousand miles in extent, and contains an area of four and a' half millions of square miles.- The shores of this mysterious eea, rock-ribbed and ice-hound, indented with numberless inlets and bays, and increased in available extent by many islands and capes, are inhabited by three races of men, differing from the rest of the species and from each other. Along the Asiatic shores of the Arctic, the Icljihyophagi, or nen^aiing Tartar tribes, wander in pursuit of fish and game. The North American coast, from Russian Alaska to Danish Greenland,-is occupied, where it is occupied at all, by the Esquimaux. The northern shores of Europe, which complete the grim circle that shuts in the icy sea, are inhabited by the Laplanders. Between these three races, there are certain obvious points of resemblance. They are all short of stature, and of swarthv com plexion. They are all accustomed to a wandering life. Tlicy all have one enemy in cofrtmon?the cold; and one peril in common^Starvation. Compelled to devote their whole energies to tlie preservauon'"rOf their existence against the. same dangers, they resemble one another much iti their habits and way of life. Between tho Esquimaux and the fish-eating Tartars, there are indeed so many points of resemblance and the Behring Straits offer so slight an obstacle to communication between the two continents, that there seems no reason to doubt the common theory, i that the American Esquimaux are the offspring of the Siberian Tartars. It is even asserted that an Esquimaux from Greenland and , a northern Knm cliatcan can partly understand each other's language. Certain it is, that their similarity in physical formation, iq character and custom, is striking in. the extreme. The very words which travellers employ in describing one race are thOsd ordinarily used in describing the other. '. '. ' I ' xu- ?i ? jLfUM cuo .papianaers arc neither Tartars nor Indians; they are Europeans and Christians. They have brown hair, and completions bronzed more by smoke and wind than by the nature of their race. They go to church, and are loyal subjects of their king. '.They have servants, riches, magistrate^ and all the essential features of a civilised community. Single Laplanders possess as many as two' thousand reindeer. > Laplanders drink brandy, take snuff, make cheese, cloth and ribbons, understand the rudiments of mechanical tnidcs,. and give entertainments. Rude as they are in manners,' costume, and habitations, nnd slenderjte thiSr" knowledge is of all things etffcepting Uie arts' indispensable to their own existence;'the Laplanders are fairly entitled to rank ampng the civilized races of the ^OfM.v/; The Esqmienaux, alone, of all the Araeri^^iribe^ Mtend >aoroaa the entire coaUnepC ?Xhoy 6,400 miles of coa6t, ?

No estimate | can bo made of 1 lie number of these people., | Probably it is not very peat ; for as tlieyl j derive their subsistence mainly from the sea, \ ; their settlements are never found more than ! one hundred miles inland, and seldom a: tenth part of that distance. Considering, I however, the immense extent of coast alon_j which their settlements are scattered, it is j probable that the Esquimaux arc more nu- j morons than any other North American tribe has'ever been. * An Esquimaux is, in appearance, merely o t.. i:? tt:_ ?- - m v .. uiv iiKiiau. xiis uair is ouai oiacji, < coarse, and long; he pulls out his beard by the roots; his cheek-honcs aro high, and : his cheeks plump; his face is broad, round and Hat, the'nose being halt' buried by the protruding cheeks ;-his eyes are small, black and dull; bis mouth is little and round, the j under-lip being somewhat thicker than ihe , other; his hands and feet are t-mall and i sot't; his legs arc thick ;>sid clumsy ; he has 1 a tendency to corpulency; his forehead is low and retreating; and he stands about five feet in his seal-skin boots. Unlike the Indians of milder latitudes, bis good humor is imperturbable, lie never fights, never quarrels, and seldom steals. An honest, good tempered, slow, industrious, ingenuous, patient people are the Esquimaux. Tlif name by which they call i hansel ves is KarnT,t ?...l .i._ :c ? ii viii, . ? mini iiic .-!? iiiui-.nuuii i)i vwiicii is unknown. The word Esquimaux is suit! to bo an obsolete French word, which meant eaters-of-raw-flcsh, a name conferred upon them by some early French navigators, who were amazed to see them devour the flesh and drink the blood of the fresh taken seal. Cold and hunger, as we just observed, are the two enemies against which the Esquimaux are compclled almost eeaxlessly to contend. From.the middle of October to the middle of April, the thermometer ranges from twenty to forty-five degrees be low zero. We who are wont to shiver] when the mercury falls to the freezing point, j can form little idea of tile cold to which | the Esquimaux is exposed.? Arctic naviga- i I tors tell us that (hey are obliged, when the ' thermometer stands at only twenty-live d'*- ' grees below zero, to cut their brown sugar ( with a saw, an 1 break their dried apples,) their seal meat, their lamp oil, their butter, j i their prepared punch, and their preserves,;1 with an axe. < hi goin<r out on a tram}) on j ( tho ice, the board and oy< -brows are covered , in a moment with a hoarfrost. The inou>- ! tachc and nnder-lij> form pendulous beads i of dangling ice. If the unwary hunter puts out his tongue it is instantly frozen to the icy crust, of the lips, and must be di>eiii gaffed by the hand. The chin and the up-. I 1 - "V ' ? - * ' I per jaw iroezo togctner hv tli>' I wan I, ami the i ! mouth cannot l?i! opened. Tlic iron barrel ;' j of the gun burns the band lb rough two pairs j II of the thickest mittens, and the jack-knife i i feels hot in the pocket. The pocket-hand- j i kerchief, damp with tlie condensed moisture I ! of the cabin, is no sooner exposed to the air : i than it is changed into a white shingle, its !, | corners sharp enough to serve as a tooth- j , j pick. An officer cannot touch a brass but- j | ton of his uniform without blistering his j )hand. ; During the short, summer of the Polar regions, the Esquimaux live in seal-skin tents, , and feel the weather sultry at ten degrees j above the freezing point. But when the ! long, dark wintc "sets in, they clothe themi selves in seal-.skin, and form huts of snow < j or turf, which they light and warm with a lamp. Dr. Kane describes, in his graphic ! manner, one of these winter huts: "A j square enclosure of stone or turf is rafted j 1 I MfAi- i . - i * 1 1 ' I^.vi mill Iiiinni?HDIMI or WliaiC HOWS, IK I j then routed with earth, mosses, nnd broken-1' ! up boats. One small aperture of eighteen j I indies square, covered with the scraped iu-j ! testifies of the seal, forms the window ; and j " 1 a long tunnel-like entry, opening to tho I ! soutli, nnd not exceeding three feet in height,' ; leads to a skin-covered door. Inside perch- ) i ed upon elevated stalls, with an earthen [ i lamp to establish a focus, several families i {reside together; I have seen as many as I four families (twenty persons) in an aper-j | ture sixteen feet square. Some of the huts j I are garnished with little tinselled pictures; j1 (purchased of navigators.) Others are a | very caricature of discomfort?mouldy, j dark, and fetid ; their rude ceilings distil-j ling filthy water, and sometimes covered j wilh introverted grass which had orig- j 1 inally formed part of the outer covering, J but now intrude upon the greater warmth of the interior."?An Esquinaux is not a creature of delicate sensibilities. ' Tho great ally of the Esquimaux, in his warfare both with the elements and with necessity, is tho seal. Ilis obligations to ithe seal are numberless. lie eats its flesh, drinks its blood, points his dart with its ] bones, makes strings of its intestines, uses i ts smallest bones for needles, covers his boat, lines his hut, forms his tent, and makes his clothes of its tough, flexible and iinper- 1 vious skin. What the reindeer is to the j Laplander, the sheep to the Australian bush- , man, tho ox to the South American herds man, and the man to the African chief, the ' seal is to the Esquimaux. ' The American Medical Gazette, for March, calls attention to an unfailing rem- 1 edy for scalds and burns. It says : "A few pounds of wheat flour'should be ] promptly applied to the wounds made by < fire", and repeated until the inflammatory stage has passed. Wo have never known a fatal case of scalding or burning in whieh , this practice bas been pursued, during more than thirty gears' experience, <ind haying treated hundreds in both public .and private practice.
