Review, and with the air of scientific
authority that there is something in the
climate of this country uufavorable to
high development and substantial yigor
Of the human organization. We are
told that the tendency of the atmospheric
influence to which the Americans are
subjected, is to produce excessive nerv-
Gus activity, without n due proportion
of muscular and adipose substance, and
that the race must rapidly degenerate in
such circumstances but for the constant
infusion of fresh blood from the health
Ter and moro vigorous nations of Europe,
This theme is developed at length in an
essay on the climate of the united
States, recently read by Nj. Desor, be

learned societies of Switzerland. Thii
able naturalist brings an array Of fact
to support his theory. lie says tha
when German and Swiss immigrants ar
rive in New.York they generally fin,
that our climate does not differ mucl
from their own, but that after a tim,
they begin to notice little differences
which compel them in spite of them
selves, to adopt our system of living

why be forever signing
Life is never drcar
Whilst on hope relying.
To-day is dark and drcary,
Full Of care and sorrow,
Sad it is and weary
But there comes morrow.
Winter old is with us,
Storms are on his wing
Little joy he gives us
But there comes a Spring.
De not thus dcspairing,
Ever full OF sorrow
Instead of evils fearing,
Hope for the morrow.
