The Three Sisters.
"The three sisters were buried side by side;
white roses lay upon their breast.*, and the
coffins were crowned with flowers."
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.
Whose checks with unavailing tears arc wet?
They shall be yours again !
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 ! "
O! bear them to their rest;
White roses on their breasts and in their hauds ;
Throngh slumber deep and blest
Th<;y pass in beauty to the eternal lands! .
MISCELLANY.
. ... [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

pursuits of tlio settlement. 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
