uual Inieratous to the North, to Newport
or Saratoga which have taken place time
out Of mind
We have long entertained the opinion,
that as man grew civilized, he migrated,
in our hemisphere at least, towards tie
north. When bread is the first thing to
be looked to, he may nationally stay where
it grows most plentifully; but as soon
as commerce renders this procurable
in any part of the world, he will naturally
abandon the hot climates to the maize and
the mosquitoes, and take refuge in places
more propltuous to human comfort. We
now see a new reason for our theory,
which ought to be convincing to one halt
o. our readers at least; as large a portion
as we can ever hope to have think with
US at any one time. BY this account, St.
Petersburghis likely to be the last great
abode of civilization, unless our discovery
ships should find great continents, or some
"islands of the best" cooled by perpetu-
al ice, in the Antarctic seas. There the
body will be cool, and there we may enjoy
that refined intercourse with the better part
of creation, which, in four months of our
summer, becomes scarcely tolerable even
TO the most determined lover.

probably IS not worth their time, they will
fad a new motive for the study Of geogra-
Dhy. Tits neither more nor less than mat
their connubial happiness depends greatly
on the latitude In which they or their nus
bands chance to be born. The facts are
mo-, new; but perhaps they have never be-
fore seen them so Systematically arranged.
The author informs US that in northern
ATTITUDES alone Is woman ''the better half
of creation" Ia more genial clImes she
IS only our equal; and in the vicinity Of
of the line she Is denied at length even
the possession of the reasoning principle
In Norway, Finland and Sweden, there
fore, is the true empire of woman, a fact
we find confirmed by the grave testimony
of Dr.. Clarke. In France, the love they
inspire is ''rather foppery than a feelings"
and in Spain and Italy, the duenna and
the carahcr scrCcute imply alike, though
10 different ways, some degradation ofthe
sex. Tn Turkey female degradation Is
proverbial; and among the Arabs, an an
cient form of salutatlon gives the most
pointed insult TO thesex that we remember.
Il ran thus; "may you be happy; may your
children be boys, and may the III udlngs
Of an infant daughter never meet your

But our author carries this matter a
step farther. He pretends the difference
Is percepuble even m the same country.
The woman of Dresden Is a superior be-
mo 10 her of Vienna; and, for the like rea-
