GEOGRAPHY OF PLANTS.

Every zone has its peculiar vegetables, and as
we miss some, we find others make theirappear-
ance as if to replace those which are absent. AT
the equator we find the natives of the Spice
Islands, the Glove and nutmeg trees, pepper and
mace. Cinnamon bushes clothe the surface Of
Ceylon, The odoriferous sandal wood, the ebony
tree, the banyan tree, grow in the East Indies In
the same attitudes in Arabia the Happy, we find
balm, frankincense, and myrrh, the coffee tree
and the tamarind. Butin these countries, at least
in the plains, the trees and shrubs which decorate
our more northerly climate, are wanting. And
as we go northward, at every stepwe change, the
vegetable group, both by addition and subtraction.
In the thckets 10 the west of the Caspian sea, we
have the apricot, citron, peach and walnut. In
the same latitude in Spain Sicily, and Italy, we
find the dwarf palm, the cypress, the chestnut, the
cork tree, the orange and lemon; these perfume
the air with their blossoms; the myrtle and pom
egranate grow Wild among the rocks We cross
the Alps and we find the vegetation that belongs
to northern Europe, Of which ENGLAND is an in
stance The oak, the beech, and the elm, are
natives Of Great Britain and Americas the elm tree
seen iii Scotland, and in the north of England, is
the wych elm. AS we travel still further to the
north the forests again change their character. In
the northern province Of the Russian Empire are
found forests oftthe various species of frs; the
Scotch aud spruce fir, and the birch. In the
Orkney Islands, no tree is found but the hazel,
which occurs again on tile northern shore Of the
Baltic, As we travel into colder regions we find
species adapted to their situation. $50
The hoary or cold elder makes its appearance
north Of Stockholm; the sycamore and mountain
oak accompany us to the head Of the Gnlph Of
Botllnia; and as we leave this and traverse the
Dophrain range, we pass in succession the boIn.
Diary lines of the spruce fir, and those minute
shrubs which botanists distinguish as the dwarf
birch and dwarf willow. Here within the arctic
circle we find wild flowers Of great beauty, the
mezerum, the willow, and white water lily, and
the European globe flower; and when these fail
us, the rein deer moss still makes the country hs-
bitable for animals and man. When one class
fails, another appears in its place. The corn,
wine, and oil, have each its boundaries. Whea,

Iceeds only where the antumnal temperature is he
tween fifty and sixty degrees. Inbolh the hemis-
pheres itcanDot be probably cultivated, within
thirty degrees of the equator, unless in elevated
situations, or in islands, as TenerifIe.
The limits Of the cultivation Of maize and
olives in France, are parallel to those which
bound the vine and corn in succession TO the
north. In the north Of Italy, west TO Milan, we
first meet with the cultivation Of rice, which ex-
tends over all the southern part Of Asia. In the
New World cotton can be cultivated 10 latitude
forty, and in the Old to forty -sx. The sugar
cane, the plantain, the mulberry, the betel nut,
the indigo tree, the tea tree, flourish in India and
China--and in America and the West Indies,
several Of these plants have been successfully
cultivated. The bread fruit begins 10 be cultva-
ted in the Manillas, and extends through the Pa
ci6c; the sage palm in the Moluccas, and the cab
bage tree in the Pelew Islands.

WATERLOO.

The following brief remarks on the i1fr0duc-
tory Of the memorable battle Of Waterloo are
translated from German work entitled, Wan
derung durch Vatcrhaus, Schulz, Kriegslager, und
Academic CUR Kirche, &c." II was after fa-
tiguing march, that on the 18th of June, the wri-
ter with his regiment, arrived in sight Of LIgny,
two hours before the commencement OF the battle
which formed the terrible prelude to that of Wa
terloo. This was the young soldiers first battle.
"What am about to notice. he observes,
:. is what forcibly oblrudes itself on every one en-
gagged in battle. The corn was waving beautl-
fully before us but 10 sooner had one troop

scheme! s s@ -lss5. "a. VI. s N
Projiector- You take them Now, YOU see.
that the wish Of having husbands will engage ali
the young ladies TO be insured, and tile company
will derive immense benefits. hi.
CapitaAst-I understand; but how will YOU
settle the premium! y
I'rojecfor-Itis to be ssgraded'' in proportion
to beauty fortune and talents, for the chances Of
|celibacy will not be the same for the young sin
surees.' They are not to be all insured for The
same age; some for 20, 49, others for 80, and even
35 years old; if at the expiration of those terms,
the insured is not married, the premium Of insu-
rance will be paid to her; which may help her to
find husband.
Capitalist Very well, but does not the compa-
ny reserve the power Of acting SO that the insurer
may find husband before the prescribed term of
insurance?
1 PROTECTOR Undoubtedly. The company shall
have agents, brokers, and candidate bachelors,
beside every possible means Of allurement to pro-
mote its ends; therefore it will seldom have in
IDENTITIES to pay. 1t is splendid scheme!
i,T9jeciof- Much gain, and no lossesl Tt;s
really the very summit Of progress in specula-
ton! 10 insure against death cannot prevent
people from dying, no more than to insure against
hre will from houses being burnt, or insurance
on ships prevent tempest; but an insurance On
celibacy will cause people to marry.
\ Cdplfalasf--B il must be understood that the
company shall always have at its disposal cnl-
lection OF suitable men, as lawyers, physicians
edltors OF newspapers, merchants, tradesmen,
whom IT. shall use as decoy birds to encourage

slness! @ss ,s' .s
Capitalist Well !! / am your man, but let i
