TERROR OF THUNDER.—Timid people are
subject to alarm at a clap orro_ahratof
man has too high an
thunder; when, in
reality (despite the saying „ That .
is harmless : is only t_ he
th martial
is afraid
iton.ly of thunder and
opinion of himself who
earthquakes") thunder
music of heaven,:vaulting over us the fear-insp,rinOones
proportioned so truly to the terribleness of the most
lightning ! It remains for some
dreadfulfchemistuture war -
wteogPcalope better information than we
row possess
concerning the relations of electricity, and
its twin (more subtle) element galvanism, to vital eco -
n,,my, both animal and vegetable : but, in the mean
time, it has to be thoroughly believed aad acted upon
that man has power over this fluid, to control it, and that
its mischief is in no instance of Heaven's ordaining, but
because, notwithstanding its fugitive track has no dtfin-
able point, people will not understand how they may get
out of its way ; and one or another object comes within
its reach, forming the chiefest attraction. They act eau
tiously who allow the freest pcw.ible access of air into
their rooms during the prevalence of a thunder storm.
