From the Baltimore American.
"What climate we have" is in the
mouth Of almost every one YOU meet
twas there ever any thing ike the
changes from hot to cold ?-why it is e.
ven enough to break down the stron-
gest constitution and yet we find
people living on to good old age I'M
der its influences, and enjoying no
small share Of the luxuries of life thro'
its agency. 1t is true we have not the
unvarying sunshine of the greater part
ofthe yearin Italy, nor the steady mod
Grafton of Great Britain, where one can
i, be abroad on almost every day without
discomfort, but we have a mixture of
the two with dash of the Russian at
mosphere at times to add to the variety.
The climate Of our country is good e.
nough, if we had only the sound sense
to make the best of it, and instead of
forever complaining, adapt ourselves to
its vicissitudes. In Spring there comes
S<pqis1e day, or perhaps succession of
thee q four, and straightway clothing
is changed, flannel laid aside, and eve
ry preparation made for Continuation
Of heat, yhen we should have learned
long ago hat no such thing ought TO be
expectedbut that these fits of pleas
antness az only sent to keep us in
mind thasummer will be here after a
while. Twas but the other day that
$50 We met lend who was complaining
bitterly OF uncomfortable sensations,
when, on beg questioned whether he
had exposedimself too much, he told
us that all he ID done was to take off
his buckskln der-dress, and that he
had felt cold ersince!
Nor was 1t ange that he did 80,
when we consl~ that the article of
ssess of (which htoke, is the warmest
~. BE ga he worn 4 that altho he had
been heated when the change was
made, at the time he was speaking
a bleak north-easter was blowing.
Ifpeople will change on account OF a
little too much heat, they must learn
to change should it become cold again,
and if they wish to save the trouble OF
changing SO often, all that they have to
do is to bear little until the weather
shall have become settled. So much
for the sudden changes to which we
are subject, which it must be admitted
are sufficiently annoying but whilst we
find fault we should not forget the adj
vantages we enjoy. Our summers are
very warm and our winters very colo'
our rain-showers very violent and our
snow-storms very boisterous, but with
al, we have the most delicious fruits IN
summer, and in winter vast number
of indoor comforts, that should make
Us lauoh at the weather. 1t should not
he forgotten that heavy showers adj
vance vegetation, and hot suns npen
grain. whilst snow storms serve to PRO
feet the wheat and rye from the plung
frost. The Italian has sunshine ana
fruits and flowers, butwith them ne has
sloth and debility--the Bnton mas a
moderate temperature, but his fruits are
poor and his flowers comparatively IN
sieniicant-and as to sun .sslllney tlie
sight of it for any length Of time Is IN
the north good for sore eyes. On the O.
