THE ANTI-SLAVEltY BUGLE. Miscellaneous. From Taylor's Letters. ARCTIC LIFE. One of tli stations on thin count, tinned Mnkur, consisted n( tew ti-hesmen's huts, nt tlie bottom of dismal rocky height.

Thero was no grass to be seen, exoept some tufts springing iroin the earth with whioh the roots were covered, nnd it was oven difficult to nee here so much earth hill lioen scraped together. The background was a hopelessly bnrron hill, more than hnlf enveloped iu enow. And this wis midsummer and humnn beings spent their lives here! "Thuso people surely deserve to enter Puradiso when they die," 1 remarked to my Iriend, "fur they live in holl while upon eiirth." "Not for tlint ho nnawercd," "but because it is Impossible (or tliem to commit in. They cannot injure their neighbors, for they have none. They cannot steal, fir there is nutting to tempt them.

Tliey cannot murder, for there ft re none of the usual incentives to hntu nnd revotigo. They hnve so hard struggle to live. tliul they cannot full into the indulgence of sense so thnt if there is nothing recorded in their favor. thore is nothing agninst them, nnd they commence the next hie with "jlunk books." Yadso is a town of ttbout 800 inhabitants, witli a secure though shillow linrtmr, nt present crowded with fid hi nt; vessels and Russian trailers from the White oca. It lion on the Moult lull side, without a tree or bush, or a patch of grass large enough to be seen without clone inspection una its only summer perfume is that of the dried fish.

I saw in irurdens attached to one or two houses a few courageous radiehed aud soma fool-hardy po- tatoes, which hud ventured above the ground without the least chance of living long enough to blossom. The snow had been (our ieot deep in the streets in the beginning of Juno, nnd in six weeks it would begin to fall again. A few forlorn cows were hunting pasture over tho hills, now and then looking with melancholy resignation at the strings of oodtish heads hanging up to dry, on the broth ot wlucti ttiey will he led next winter. I took walk and made a sketch durinc tho afternoon, but the wind was so chill that I was glad to coma back enivering to our quarters. Our windows commanded a full view of a grog slop across the way, where drunken Lapps were turned out with astoninliing rapidity.

This is the niarriugo months of tho Lapps, and tho town was lull of young couples who hud coine down to be joined, with their relatives and friends, till in their eavest costumes. ltirouuh the intervention nt the post master i procured two women and a child us subjects for a sketvh. They were dressed in their best, and it was impossible not to copy the leer of gratified vanity lurking in the ccrner of their bruuJ mouths. The Summer dress consisted of a loose gown of bright green cloth, trimmed on the neck and slcoves with bands of scarlet and yellow, and a peculiar head dress, shaped like a helmet, bu'. wiili a broader and flutter crest, rounded iu front.

This ulso, was covered with scarlet cloth, and trimmed with yellow nd blue. They were greatly gratified with the distinction, and nil the oilier Lapps, as iu Kuutokeinu, would have willingly offered themselves. I find the same physical characteristics here ns there a fresh ruddy complexion, inclining to tawny bright blue a a Knii Kiirh nhuulr Iwiim. unit mmiftia nf enormous width. They are not strikingly beluw tha average- size, Heine says in one of Lis mad songs "In Lapland the people are dirty Flat-headed, and broad mouthed and small, They squat round the firo while roasting Their tishes, and chatter, and squall." is as good a description of then) as can be packed into a stanza, un tne present occasion they were all drunk, in addition.

One ol them lay for a long time at the door, with his legs doubled under him as be tell, the others, stepping over his body as they went in and out. These Tjoor creatures were openly and shamelessly allow ed to drug themselves as lung as their money lasted. No under the race is becoming extinct, -when the means of destruction is so freely off- ered. 4'V I am tired of this unending daylight, and would willingly exchange the pomp of the Arctic midnight for ihe starlit darkness of heme. We are confused by the loss of nigbt we lose the per- ception of timu.

One is never sleepy, but simply tired, and alter a sleep of eight hours by sunshine wakes up as tired as ever. His sleep at least broken and irregular be substitutes a number thort naps, distributed through the twenty-tour hours, for the tne natural repjse, and finally gets into astute of general uneasiness and discomfort. A II immet Pent merchant, who has made frequent vovages to Spiizenborgen, told me that in the latitude of 80 deg. he never knew certainly whether ''it was day or night, and tho cook was the only person on board who could tell him. At first, the nocturnal sunshine strikes you being wundertully convenient.

You lose nothing of the scenery you can read nnd write as usual, you need never be in a hurry because there time for everything. It is not necessary to your day'a work in day-time, for no nigbt cometh. You are never belated, nnd somewhat of the stress of life is lifted from your shoulders. But, after time, you would be glad of an excuse to stop seeing, aud observing, and thinking and even of en-joying. There is no compulsive rest, eucli as darkness brings no sweet isolation, which is the best refreshment of sleep.

You lie down in the broad day, and the summons "Arise 1" attends on every re-opening of your eyes. I never went below and saw my fellow-passengers nil asleep around me, without a sudden feeling that something was wrong. They were drugged, or under some unnatural influences, that they thus slept so fast, while the sunshine streamed in through the portholes. There are some Advantages of tbie northern summer which have presonted themselves to me 4 rather a grotesque light. Think what tin aid and shelter is removed from crime how many vices which can only flourish in the deceptive atmos- thereof night, must be checked by the sober reali- ty of daylight No assassin can dog the steps J-' hi victim; no burglar can work in sunshine guilty lovers can hold stolen interviews by moon-; light all concealment is romoved, for the like the Eve of God, sees everything, and the cret vioes of the earth must be bold indeed, if they ran bear his gaze.

Morally, as well as physically, is safety in light and danger in darkness and yet, give me the darkness and danger 1 the patrolling sun go off his beat for a while, show a littlo confidence in my ability to behave properly rather than worry me with bis sleepless vigilance, Slxip. There is no fact more clearly established in the physiology of man thun this, that tha brain expends its energies and itself during i- the hiurs of wakefulness, and these are recuperat ed during sleep; it the recuperation docs not equal lue expenditure, the brain withers this is insani- Thus it is that, in early English history, tier- sons who were condemned to death by being pre-'' rented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs; thus it is also that those who starve to death come insane the brain is not nourished, and cannot sleep. The practical inferences are three i hose who think most, who do most brain work! require most sleep. 2nd. That time saved from necessary sleep is inl'ulliahly destructive tne mind, hii-ly and estate, da.

Uive yourself, your children, ynur servant, give all that under you, the fullest amount of sleep they BT wUI take by compelling them to go to bed at some jegularly early hour, nnd to rise in the morning moment they awake and within a fortnight, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, unloose the bonds of sleep the moment enough 1 tepose has been secured for the wants of the sys-' rtem, This is the only safe and sufficient rule to the question, how much sleep any one requires each must rule for himself great Nature will fail to write out to the ebaervei under the regulation just given. Some one says of a certain congregation they pray on their knees Sundays, aod their neigh-- bors tbs rest of the week. THE CHILDREN'S PRAYER. BY MARY HOWITT. Beactihl (be children's faces Spite of nil that mars nnd scan, To my inmost heart appealing, Calling forth love's tenderest feeling) Steeping all my soul with tears.

Eloquent the children's faces-Poverty's lean look, which saith, Save us I save us 1 woe surrounds us Little knowledge sore confounds us Life is but alingeiing death. Give us light amid our darkness Let us know the good from ill Hate us not for nil our blindness; Love us, lead us, show us kindness You can make us what you will. We nre willing, we ore ready, We Would learn, if you would tenoh Wo have hearts that yearn towards duty We have minds alive to beauty Souls that any height can reach. Raise us by your Christian knowledge Consecrate to man our powers Let us take our proper station We the rising generation, Let us stamp the nge as ours, We shall be what you will make us; Make us wiso, nnd make us good I Make us strong in time of trial; Teach us temperance, self-denial, l'atienee, kindness, fortitude Look into our childish faces See ye not our willing hearts Only love us only lead us Only lot us know you need us, Aud we all will do our parts. We are thousands many thousands I Every day our ranks increase Let us march beneath your banner, We, the legion of true honor, Combatting for love and peace.

Train us 1 try us 1 days slide onward, They can ne'er be ours again Save us, save us 1 from our undoing 1 Save us from ignorance and ruin; Make us worthy to Le men 1 Send us to our weeping mothers, Angel'Stamped in heart and brow 1 We may be our fathers' teachers We may be the mightiest preachers, In the day that dawneth now. Such the children's mute appealing, All my inmost soul was stirred And my heart was bowed with sadness, When a cry, liko summer's gluducsB, Said, "The children's prayer was heard." BANKRUPTCY OF THE NATIONS. is of as is do a in of no sun se- Let and The maimer in which the nations have been do ing business heretofore, and the disastrous results that must sooner or later follow, are forcibly presented in the following article from the New York Hun There is not a nation in Christendom can pny Hb debts in full. Nationally, the United States are not heavily in debt but as a people, ns States and communities, our debts nre immense, the general government owes comparatively little, and the be- they to are the nature, and that the national property is worth many times all republic owes: but there is not enough gold coin on the Western continent to pay the debts of individuals, of city and other corporations, and the soveral States. It would take a large share tho specie in the vaults of our city Banks to pny the debts of our city corporation, and all the gold in the Slate would scarcely pay the State debt Were we, then, culled on to pay our debts in spe cie, wo should be obliged to mako confession general bankruptcy.

We contracted these debts under an liiuuted stute ot tlie curreucy, and cannot pay them in "hard coin." The cuse of other nations is similar. England is oppressed with a national debt which she can never pay. Fiance, Australia, aud all the Gorman States, are in the same category. They all so deeply involved in debt, that they must sooner or luter repudiate, or sink under Ihe load. The whole system of finance in Europe and in this country is artificial and unsound.

Debts are mnde to represent wealth, since the consols und coupons the stock and evidence of public debt bought, exchanged aud deposited as the representatives of value, when, in fact, they havo no intrinsic or fixed value, and may, under certain circumstances, become utterly valueless as securities. The State of New York, for instance, owes some twenty-ve millions of dollars and it has issued promises to pny to an equnl amount. These promises are bought und sold as property, nnd ns representatives of value, but their value fluctuates according to the state of the money market. When money is plenty, or rather, when the demand it is limited, State stocks command a premium, be cause they bear interest, and the State is supposed to be a good debtor; but when money is scarce, or the demand for it is large, State stocks will sell at par, because the interest which they pay bears but a small proportion to the interest which individuals will pay lor the use of the money vested in them. Thus, the business man who, in prosperous times, invests bis profits in the purchase of State stocks, bearing six per cent, interest, will, the times become adverse, and be is obliged to two and three per cent, a month for the uso money, sell bis stock readily below par, rather than go into the street to borrow at exhorbitant rates of interest.

And when all want money few want stock securities, all kinds of certificates of indebtedness must decline in price. It will seen, therefore, that a financial system which employs the evidences of our publio indebtedness, if they constituted wealth of a fixed and permanent character, is exposed to many and frequent disturbing influences. And wlien we add to these the evidences of our railroad and other debts, which are still more sensitive to the varying con ditions of the financial world, we have constructed a composite system of finance, which the first vio lent shock to credit will break to pieces, it does seem as it tne commercial nations ot tne world will yet be obliged to go into general bankruptcy, and re-construct their financial systems on a sim pier and souuder basis. A Millionaire Working for Twelve Sun. lings a Week and Living aba Pauper.

A cent foreign arrival brought us the intelligence that the great English millionaire, Morrison. worth twenty millions of dollars, had died. following extract from a letter in The Boston shows bow little benefit he permitted himself receive irnra all his wealth "Mr. Morrison retired from aotive business eral years since, without withdrawing his oapital from the mercantile bouse, and though munsg ing bis vast funds up to the time of bis death all the sagacity of earlier days, be has for the three years been possessed with tbe idea that should come to want. More tban two years he oummenced doing day-labor upon a farui by one of bis tenants, for which be received twelve shillings a week, and this he continued to tbe time of his illness.

For tbe Inst eighteen months be bad been a regular applicant for lief to the parish, assembling twice a veck the town paupers at ihe door of tbe received with each ono of them bis two shillings and a quarter loaf. His friends have indulged iu these fancies on tbe ground that it was tbe choice of two evils. The Irutb is, money his god, nnd the idea became nt Inst too great for him, nnd broke him down. And yet be is said to have made a most judicious will nnd his investments up to the Inst nre characterized by great good senso. The probate duty on his will exceeds 100,000." MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE MORMONS.

MONS. In view nf tho possibility of ft bloody conflict with the Mormons. any iiif'ormnlinn respecting their means of defence is of interest to the public. A wnter in the Sncrumcnln Age states thnt nt tho order of their lender and prophet they can muster 15,000 men armed with thn most effective instru. uients of destruction.

'1 hey hnve many thousands of the finest horses trained to camp service: they have a fuiimJery, where ciumon.urid shells are cast: a powder mill and factory, where rovulving rifles and pistols are manufactured, equnl to those mnde nt Hartford. They have every munition of war and necessary provision and moans of transportation within themselves, nnd even the rumen and children arc instructed in the use of arms. Add to this the gcogrnphieal position. To reach halt Lnke trom the east, it is necessary to pass through a ravine of twenty-five miles, under hills so steep nnd rocky thnt dozen men could hurl down nn avalanche of Htmios on tho approaching caravan; and even in the event ot several thous nnd troops renching the valley, the besieged with herds, would take to the moontains, and, re inforced by their savage allies, would, in turn, bc- besiege their bcsicgors, and cut oil supplies until the invaders hnd starred out. They havo, it is said, "0.000 Inuiun nl'ins whom they nro ready to furnish i'h nrms and horses on an emergoncy.

these Indians nre partially in structed in tho Mormon religion enough to make them superstitious in regard to the Uod of a su perior rnee, yet modifying none of their ferocity. If tho Mormon Prophet is really in earnest it his war like demonstration, it is easy to foresee that he Kill be able to give tho Goveriimelit of the United States a good doa) of trouble. It is even questionable whether with his superior advantages of position, and the number nnd character of the force nt his command, it will Vo possible to crush him nut. Ihe whole country is familiar with th history of the Seminole War, in which few bun drcd savages managed to keep tho government in hot water lor years. If this insignificnnt bund of barbarians could keep an nrmy at buy fur that length of time, what is there to prevent Brighnm Young, lodged in bis mountain fastnesses, and backed hy an nrmy ot disciplined troops and nil morons bunds of Indian warriors, from bidding do fiance to any nrmy the Government inny bo able to send ngninst him Such a position in the hands of a good general, would be niiprcgnublo.

DEATH OF GEORGE R. GLIDDON, ESQ. a 7 of in 10 15 George It.

Gliddon, the well known Egyptian scholar and author, died suddenly at Panama, pulmonary congestion, on the loth aged about fifty years. Mr. Gliddon was born in Eng land, but went early to Egypt, whoro his father was consul of tho United Stales, which office was afterwards held by Mr. Gliddon himself. In 1830 vt hen Mehemet Ali initiated his plans for tho material improvements of Egvpt by the introduction of mechanics, Mr.

Those were sent to Dr. Morton, Philadelphia, the author of the work entitled Cranika Americana.

The result was nn elaborate work dedicated to Mr. Gliddon and published the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, enti tled Crania hgvptiuna, which set at rest once and forever, the leading question so long in dispute as to the race and physical type of the ancient Egyptians. Ho wrote while in Egypt nn "Essay on the Production of Cotton in the Valley of the Nile," and an Appeal to burope against the wholesale des truction ot the Egyptian monuments by Mehemet Ah.

Before the publication of this last work, Gliddon, wearied of sedentary life, and longing for the excitement of change and phisical activity, in which his enrly manhood was passed, accepted the post (tendered to him by his old friend archaeological colleague, Mr. E.

The Firit Kumher of the New Seriei trill be inutd on the 1'trat of January next. Tui Home Journal has become universal. There are few families of cultivated babits (few of those who seek to enliven and make home the most intelligent nnd attractive place) who do not now "ceive it. It is read, we believe, wherever ruu uomestio nnppiness mm true moral refinement, whichlure woven so thickly jD' 1,18 strong and course web of our oountry's industry and enerirotin nrnsnnritv. The Ilnma Journal is the speaker to the hearts of this busy nation, in the hours given to happiness and relaxation.

The first number of the new scries will be is sued on tho first of January next. New sobsorib-By ers can be supplied from that date 1 but immedi- ate application will be necessary for such as desire to begin at the beginning. A home is hardly compieto, we tiunk we may sntely venture to sny without tho Home Journal, which, besides being a cnronicie ot tne timeB. abounds in intelligence designed to enliven un Ameiican Homo. Its ed- itors (Geo.

P. Morris nnd N. P. Willis) devote 'heir entire time, skill nnd experience, to the task of giving, each week, everything worth knowing. They particularly keep nn eye on the whims and ii 'ri uuvvmuo ui mo uujr.

iuo uunusi puma mo un to present the facts and outlines of all news. tne literary uepurimeiii, we aim at saeicnes and readable criticisms, and in our condensations of the productions of the vast newspaper world of Europe we endeavor to avoid the tiresome and lo cal, aud transfer to our columns the pick of English information and brilliancy, while we endeavcr to select with a true sense of pure morals, true wit, and genuine humor. The new feature for the coming year is one that ws hnve long thought of presenting to our reader the Correspondence of four tery brilliant women who send us regularly Me Gossip or Tlie Gay World. We have grudged exceedingly the keeping of these most readable matters to ourselves feeling certain that it was precisely the Socitiy gossip which our subscribers required as euervea-cence to the otherwise brimming cup and, with Lome difficulty, we have obtained the consent of our fair correspondents. Jt was only on one con- dition, however that the incognita, for each, should be striotly preserved.

We agreed tp this; -l out, ns it wns important 10 aistinguisa ueiweeH i I.nfrAi-H mnturo In Micnrest llnml uch as W9 thought would be somewhat descriptive of their several veins of humor. The four ladies will therefore be introduced to the readers of tha next volume of the Home Journal, as Mrs. Japonica Jones, Mrs. Amelia Ratter, Miss Lotsa Nuffin, Miss Justella Summoke. And from these the four most brilliant persons of our city acquaintance the charming Letters will be duly forthcoming.

Every one knows how a tea-table or evening cirole is enlivened, by the coming in of nn intel ligent man who knows all the new ideas ajloat, and tells them, briefly, gnyly, and off-hand, in the way of ordinnry conversation. Such a person gives you the substance of the daily papers, in three or four sentences tells you the plan and moral of a new book in a dozen words gives the essence of atsernion, the core of a publio speech, 1 tie key to a public character, the spirit ot an ar ticle in a review, tlie novelty in fashion, the Inst turn in politics nil briefly, and nil without detail or flummery leaving it with you, at material for your own discussion ana gossip. Ibis is what we propose to 00 lor tne Home Journal lor, loon. We mean to jot down, for our readers, in the fow- est words possible, every new idea that falls.iii our way. As we read, as people drop in and talk, as we look about in our walks, we shall be on the look-out for idoas and novelties giving them in the briefest shape.

Formerly, we used to lay such memoranda aside, to right about if we should hnd time now, we shall give them to our renders. To discuss for themselves, in thin way, ths subscribers to the Home Journal will stand a chance to gel hold, in some shape or other, of every ntv 'aea mal 9'3-Flouncing, The other popular fcaturerof the paper will be continued: Sketches of Belles, Portraits of Publio iiiraetcr8, oesonption ot stirring scenes in "ew-iorn, news 01 lasuion ana manners, pnases of gay and Iitorary society, any new fun or new tony in snort, a picture or tue world as it passes. We have scarce thought it neoessry to mention, nowevor, what our readers will 1 1. 1. i i i 1 uuruuium auu 'uct e'J interest of benevolence and moral im- provemcnt, and strive hard to make the Ilome Journal no less useful and improving than it is entertaining and original.
