With shout of joy—
We’ll have a slide to-night!
Apology.—We owe an apology to the Rev. A. B. Muzzy for the insertion of several articles in our Museum, on the important subject of habit. We copied them from an English magazine, giving credit for them to that source. We are now informed that they are from an excellent work, entitled “The Moral Teacher,” by the aforesaid gentleman.

CHAPTER VII.
Arrival at Yakoutsk.—Letter from home.—Departure.
Nothing could be more dreary than the aspect of the country, as our travellers approached the town of Yakoutsk. This was situated on a nearly level plain, which was now covered with snow. There were only a few stunted trees to be seen, and not a dwelling for miles around the town. The river, of which a view was afforded, was frozen over, and the scene bespoke a land of sterility and the stern season of winter.
