II, setting aside for moment the geographical
position of the leading nations OF the present time,

the general suffragel Mr.. Squier unhesita-
tingy answers, Central America; and he
has good reasons TO offer in support OF his
opinion. Central America, in fact, is wonderfully
situated; on the east its ports open to Europe and
Africa-On the west to Asia, Australia and Poly
neeia; it rests upon the two great oceans within
reach of the most beautiful archipeagoes, and
while aaording sufficient extent OF territory for
great and populous empire, il is, at some points
so narrow that IL may be crossed from o;ean 10
ocean iE the space OF four or i've hours. Over q
great part OF it's extent the climate Is mild, not

those arrangements in which we so clearly trace the
care of Providence for the welfare OF man. the fierce
aTdour Of the sun is here counterbalance1 by the
elevation Of the land above the level OF the sea- and
by the regularity of the winds. Were II not Tor the
volcanoes, which send forth successfully fire, ashes
and water and recall man TO the consciousness OF
his feebleness, one might be tempted TO believe it

innocence. There is Spanish saying which ex.

least.) smiles upon man, without hiding poisoned
dart in the flowers which che presents to him; for IL
is not here, in many other regions admirably
gifted in other respects, that man finds AZ his enc
