Kerguelen's Land, or Island of Desolation, was discovered In 1772 by tho French vavigator, Ires Joseph de Kerguolon Tromorce. 1t i sit- unted in the Antarctic Ocean, in the Esstern Hemisplicre, and bas an area of about 100 miles in length by 50 miles in breadth. The surface of the island is varied with hill and dale; its soil is romarkably fertile; it is irrigated by numerous natural stroams ; and its latitude corresponds with that of Normandy, in France, somewhere about 50 deg. 8,,—yet, on account of the inclom- eucy of its climato, it soems to be hopelesaly un- inbabitable, It is ot that tho cold is so ecvere. Duriog Capt.

A later party, who stayed from the 7th tothoS1st of Janary on tho ieland, reports that theaverago masimum temporature was 49 deg. Falironheit, and the minimum 40.5 Fabr. ; and this was tho midsummer month, wheu summer should have boen ut ita hoight.

A correrpondent of the Hartford Times adds to tho maes of data upon the sagacity of animals which reflects great credit upon the tilial gratitude of the goose. A Mry, Ecales, of East Grauby, Conn., placed six goose-eggs under a ectting hen. The issue of four weeks'incuba- tion was » single gosling, upon which the hen concentrated all herattention, Though perplex- ed and distréssed by tho unsccountabla aqustic propensities manifestod by her strango chick, a strong affection cxisted between tho motherly lien and Ler quacking offspring, When ths latter Eiad grown uld enough (o shifs for itself, the hen withdrew to a fresh nest, to brood over anotlier sot of epge, this time of Lier own laying, Meau- wlulo the young goose, now developed into & tolerably-eized gandor, wandered lonely and discousolate about the premises, As soon as the heu retnrned from _herf} seclu- sion, the gander assumod a share of the labor of providing for her young family,—brooding tnem under bLis wings, and protecting them from the rain and from tlie iuterferenca of tho other members of the fowl family. In bis efforts to provido food for his little bautlings, ho would often go out to the field and bring back au earof corn, and pick off the grains for them,—suffer- ing 0o other feathered biped to approach durin tho ropast. When at last tho hen again retires for the purpaose of bringing forth a new brood, the whole charye of tbe young chickens devolyed upon the gandor, and nobly did e continuo to fulftll the trust. 1le remains to thia duy faithful to the selt-appointed task. and any doubter of the truth of Lis herolo devotion may visit the farm of Mrs. Scales, in East Granbv, and wit- ness for himself the boautiful affection that dwells in thie bosom of & humblo rooso for his forter-mother aud foster-brothers-and-aixters.
