Men complain more of warm and cold weather
| than do boys. While the former in summer, seek
the shade and resort TO ice-waer or tulips for re.
irgeraing purposes, the latter rush 10 the streets
or fry themselves in the sun, fishing; or playing
exciting games, requiring excessive bodily exer-
else. IL is fun and frolic with them, especially
during school vacation, when they forget on an
average, one-haf of the instruction they acquired
during The last expired term In the winter, while
men nestle around the fire, and are reluctant TO
venture abroad the boys out !" and especi
ally is This the case when the river and the city

thems elves are the men and are not so thought
iul Of comfort. Buoyant in spirit, and seizing the
pleasures as they fly, they have time TO com
plain. Let but the bell sound alarm of FIRE, and
forthwith hundIe DIS of juveniles rush to the scene
whether the thermometer indicate the melting or
the freezing point or let circus company arrive,
and they are like herd of luiao, pitching
ahead excitedly, without restraint We, ofcourse,
merely allude 10 the physical difference between
full-grown men aud youths, and the superior ca
paciiy of the latter 10 endure violent exercise
No weather is TOO warm, nor TOO cold, TO interfere
with their ocomotion. Were they at the torrid,
al the frigd zone, it would make no difference.
We repeat, juveniles complain less OF the weather
than adults; fact which every days experience
more strongly corroborates.
