A letter written by Elihu Burritt, the

learned blacksmith contains soiue interes- ting incidents of hi career.

Mr Burritt mentions that being one of

.:'l~‘lnrgc family, and his parents poor, be

apprenticed himself when very young. to

_s. blacksmith, but that he had always had

such a taste for reading, that he carried it

He commenced the. study of Latin when his indentures were not half expired, and completed

. reading Virgil in the evenings of the win- M

r.

He next studied the Greek and carried the Greek Grammar in his hat, studying it for is few moments while heating some iron at the forge. In the evenings he sat down to Homer’s Iliad, and read twenty books of it during the second winter.

He next turned to the modern tongues J

and went to the New Haven where he re- cited it to native teachers tn French, Spanish, German, and Italian, and at the end of two years he returned to his forge, taking with him such books as he could piocure. He next commenced Hebrew, and soon mastered it, reading two chapters in the Bible before breakfast; this, with an hour at noon being all the time he could apart: from work. Being unable to procure the book he desired, he deter- mined to hire himself to some shop bound to Europe, thinking he could procure them at the different ports he touched at. He travelled more then a hundred miles on foot to Boston with this view bnt was not able to find what he sought: and at

“that period he heard of the American

Antiquarian Society at Worcester. Thi- tlier he bent his steps, and arrived in the city in the most utter indigenee. Here he found a collection of ancient modern, and Oriential books, such as he never imagin- ed to be collected in one place. He was kindly allowed to read what books he liked and has reaped great benefit from this permission.

He used to spend three hours daily in the hall and he made such use of these privileges, as to be able to read tipwards offifly languages with gmitt-r or lt.-ss of facility.

ARCTIC Sns,—,-Melville l.-lniial. where Captain Kellett of the Arctic .-xpeditinn, passed the last winter, and whence his crew first discovered the Investigator, after her eventful voyage, is one ofa group of islands in the Polar sea, called the Georgian Archipelago. It lies be- tween 74 deg. 25 min. and 75 deg. 50 min. north latitude, and 106 and I14 deg. west longitude. It is 240 miles in length and, I00 broad, and its surface diversified by ,hills and valleys. The climate is too ‘cold.-for the growth of trees or shrubs, but in the ravines and valleys grow vari- ous kinds of grass, moss, and sorrels, wliiohaliiirtl fnud lorthe many herds of iutisk, oxen, and deer, which frequent that rcgioii in the summer season. Wol- ves and foxes remain there throughout the year, and the white beer of the north finds a home among the icebergs which surround it at all seasons.

DEIIIVATION or “Torsv Tunvr.—- When things are in confusion they are generally said to be turned “topsy tur- vy" The expression is derived froma way in which turf for fuel is placed to dry on its being cut. The surface of the ground is pared 05 with the heath grow- ing on it, and the heath is turned down- ward, and left sotne days in that state that. the earth may get dry before it is carried away. It means then top-side- turf-way.—From “Notes and Queries.”

A Yotmu Bnsnn.—Would you not Itnveknowh this boy to be my son, from his resemblance to me?” asked a gentleman. Mr. Curran answered, “ Yes, air; the maker’s name is stamped upon the blade.”

A young lady, recently married to a farmer, one day visited the cow-house, when she thus interrogated her milk- maid: “By-the-bye, Mary, which of these cowsis itythat gives the buttermilk? and
