THE THUNDERSTORM.
: busy, sultry day is DER,

AT length the busy, sultry day is DER,
And night enfolds the earth in its dark shroud
Whose darkness is intensified still more,
By the black veil Of yunder thunder.cloud
The air and all things round are still as death,
AS if some dreadful conflict they attend,
And nature seems as though she held her breath
In sombre silence, waiting for the end.
But soon the mighty wind comes rushing on,
Forcing TO bend the strongest forest trees,
AS often we have seen the waving corn,
Bending before the gentle western breeze;
And now and then the listner hears the roll
OF distant thunder as it mutters low,
As if some sprite had hurled on to its goal,
Some mighty ball, and Heav'n shook at the
throw.
But, onward driven, by the stormy wind,
The gath'ring, tempest.bearing cloud is borne,
AS if the spirits OF the air can find,
Pleasure in strife alone, and they had sworn,
Ne'er TO rest again; while the light'nings glare
Ilumes the scene which straight is dark again;
And, as the crashing thunder shakes the air,
In torrents from above, down pours the rain.
How awing how sublime this furious war
OF raging elements, which seem to strive
To wear away our world, and oh! how far
The greatest monarch who on earth doth live,
In viewing it, behods himself to be
Below his great Creator, to whose sway
They all are subject, and whom also he
Depends on for his life, and should obey
From gratitude for mercies TO him givn,
II naught else can affect his stubborn heart.
Nor fear OF He'll, nor blisful hope OF Heav'n,
Has power to lead him to fulfil the part
Appointed for him in the Glorious Plan,
Which God has laid to save his soul from He'll.
But now the storm, which with such power be.
Almost more quickly than our pen can tell,
Has spent its fury though we still can hear,
The rolling thunder, and behold the trains
Of Jove's swift missiles now no longer near.
Like as bright silver which is purged from
stains,
The earth, now cleansed and pure, awaits the
morn,
When the suns rays shall break forth on the
fields,
Refreshed and watered from that copious horn,
Which TO all things so many blessings yields.

ARE THE MEN OF THE South DEGRSERATING
PHYsIcALLY?-Isa question which 10 being
determined by research, the inquisition hsv-
ing been commenced last fall. The question
was raised by the PRONUNCIATION Of North
ern theory, that the Influences of life 10 the
South had induced special degeneraoy in
the physical conformation of our men. The
system adopted has been to take the average
weight and stature at various military academ-
les and medical colleges, and tho result is an
entire refutstion Of the theory, and would be
even more decidedly so bad any plan been
devised and acted upon for arriving at the
average fthe general population, for students
as O class, necessarily lack. from the maner
Of their lives, the weight and development
which follows from active pursuit of the
mechanic arts, agrcultural occupation, TO.
The average height of forty.two students OF
the University of Louisiana, ss furnished by
DR.. Mott, was feet 10 IL inoches, and their
average weight las IA pounds. Of los
students of the Tennessee University, S #. 10
inches, weight $50 pounds. OF IS students Of
the Jefferson Medical College, S #. 9 inches,
weight l45 pounds. Of l50 students Virgin.
ia Military Institute, 5 It. 9 inches, weight
I4l IA pounds. From the above it will be
observed that the men Of the Louisiana Col
lege were the tallest, those Of Tennessee
University the heaviest, and those Of the
Virginia University the lightest. We have
no statistics of Northern men to compare with
these, but we doubt if any exhibit from those
regions would bear any favorable comparison
with the foregoing. Mobile Register.
