QursrroSs AND ASswkRs.--In the last mum.

following questions and answers:
QGerg;-Is warm or cold weather the more
favorable to intellectual Development
Anstrer;--As general consideration, We may
state that in the earlier periods of the history
of our race, the greatest men appeared in tropi-
cal countries, lying in the eastern quarter of the
| globe, but that in more modern times the pre-
ponderance has been in favor of countries of
colder climates; also, as more Immediate illus
traton, we may note for ourselves that intellec.
tual enterprise IN OUT own tines such as the
| publication of books, public performances, art
entertainments, etc, como off most frequently
IN the winter months, and that the principal
Exercises in oratory, debate, and in the transac-
ton of public affairs, have that also for their
eliminating period. This may, however. be all
explained by the indoor tendency in the cold
season, and the out door in the months of sun
shine and verdure, on the mere ground of con-
yenience. Weare inclined, however, to decide,
from whatever point it may be viewed, that the
tcolder portions Of the year are mostfavorable to
study and intellectual eXertion.
Gnerg:-What was the main cause of the
| French revolution of 1882
41.srer:-Sttingent measures of repression
affecting the press and individual rights were
the Immediate obvious causes of the movement,
which was however, merely the climax or out
break of the stronger revolutionary or republic
lean feeling which had been smothered on the ex-
/ pulsion of Charles x. in 1880, and which had

edRess of the citizens or subjects of one coun-
try to those of the other instimes of war?

Qasry:--What language do the present in.
habitants of Greece speak, af6t aHa
4ns,oer:-A provincial modification of the
ancient Greek.
Querg:-I am an Episcopalian, and am #en-
gagged to be married to a young lady who is a
Roman Catholic. Suppose the question should
/ be raised as to which way we areto be married,
who would have the say about it2 Herparents
and mine are perfectly Indifferent; so am I. /
am only getting at the right of he thing
Ansacer:-We scarcely regard the question
you put as falling within the province Of eti-
quette, although your Communication, by its
| tone, seems to regard it in that light In such
cases as that put by you, we suppose the priori-
ty of election would belong to the husband; and
lwhere the Scruples of the wife are strongly en-
tertained, the difficulty is overcome by the per-
formance of the service under both creeds.-
/ The Indifference of yourself and of the parents
on either side leaves the matter, if it be one of
mere convenience and taste, according to your
own statement, to be determined by the young
lady. "a PES
Query;-what advice would you give to
one who does not enjoy her welded liies
dnS1er:-HusbandS, as well us wives, have
| their lndrmlties of temper; but out Of these in
hrmities arise that necessity for mutual for
bearance, mutual forgiveness, and mutual acts
/ OF Kindness which, when nationally needed
| produce the current of happiness peculiar to the
welded state. We're it otherwise, the very
monotony of married life would make the con.
dluon lnsutterably staguant a man of spirit
| would die OF eHLui; a woman of energy would
| grow hysterical. Men labor no more in their
/ out door aVocatIons than dilieent women do
| within doors, if they properly attend to their
\ domestic duties; and we consider n house well
/ kept IN all its economy, home well maintained
as such in all its relations the GROWING glory
of a wiic's affection and ability-a glory as
| handsomely deserved as any that husband
/ may earn by his skill, tact and general success
in his proper sphere of life, the sphere of bust
ness These are our views, Cordelia, and we
fatter ourselves that our observation is of some

The following remarks seem to be in answer
1 to some gloomy queries about life-its worth
DC. The answer is good one-Ed Intel
l., Such notions as you entertain often visit the
hends of the most sensible men. Consult a
good eSperinced physician; and perhaps the
administering OF a blue-pill or two, or some sim
liar remedy, will restore you to your natural and
l proper tone. Keep the stomach in order; bemotl-
crate, but not stinting your diet;. be always or
4 the better part OF your time, engaged and when
not, engage In some amusement which .diSerts
your senses and takes your thoughts away from
self-spe culationand fre:ling upon your own vague
fancies and decisions. Especially do not forget
q clear conscience, acts of benevolence, and the
free use of cold water upon the head, particular
/ " on the crown and back part, as we'll as upon
the body. Attention to these suggestions viii,
we are confident, prompt you soon to write us
a more cheerful letter.
