CHANGE OF CLIMATE IN CoNsUNPTIoN.-
Sir james Clark, Of England, has assacd with
considerable force the doctrine that a change
of climate is beneficial to persons suffering with
consumption and a French physician, NJ.
Carriere has written forcibly against it. DIR.
Burgess, an eminent Scotch physician, also con-
tends that climate has little or nothing TO do
with the cure of consumption, and that, if it
had the curative effects would be produced
through the skin aud not the lungs That
warm climate is lot in itself beneficial, he
shows from the fact that the disease EXISTS in
all ATTITUDES. La India and Africa, tropical
climates it is as frequent as in Europe or North
America. At Malta, right in the heart of the
genial Mediterranean, the army report of Eng
land show that one-third of the deaths among
the soldiers are by consumption. At Nice,
favorte resort Of English inyalids, especially
those afflicted with lung complaints, there are
more native-born persons that die of consump-
ton than in any English town of equal popu
laton In Geneva, the disease is almost
equally prevalent. In Florence, pneumonia is
said to be marked by a Sutfocating character
and by rapid progress towards its last stage.
Naples, whose climate is the theme Of SO much
praise by travellers, shows in ier hospitals
mortality by consumption equal to one in two
third, whereas in Paris, whose climate is SO Of
ten pronounced as yilliauouS, the proportion is
only one in three and one-quarter. In Made
ria, no local disease is more common than con-
sumption.

The ORIGIN OF THASKsGIvINa Day.

The ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING Day
When New England was first planted, the
settlers met with many d ffculties and hard
ships as is necessarily the case, whensa civili-
zed people attempt to establish themselves in
a wilderness country. Being piousy disposed
they sought relief from heaven, by laying their
wants and distrcsSes before the Lord in fre
quent set days of fasting and prayer. Con-
slant meditation and discourses Oh the subject
of their difficulties, kept their minds gloomy
and disconterted, and, like the children of IS
rael, there were many disposed to return to
the land which persecution had determined
them to abandon.
At length, when it was proposed in the as
sembly to proclaim another FAST farmer, of
plain sense arose. and remarked, that the :ncon-
yeniences they had suffered, and concerning
which they had so often wearied Heaven with
their complaints, were not so great as might
have been expected, and were diminishing eY-
cry day as the colony strengthened that the
earth began to reward their labors, and to fur
nish literally for there sustenance that the
rivers and seas were full of fish, the air sweet
and climate wholesome above all they were
in the enjoyment of liberty, civil and religions.
He therefore, thought that rejecting and con-
versing on these subjects would be more COM
Portable, as tending to make them more con-
tented with their situation ; and that it would
be more becoming the gratitude they owe the
Divine being, if, instead Of fast they should
proclaim a thanksgiving. His advice was ta-
ken, and, from that day to this, they have
in every year observed circumstances Of public
happiness sufficient to furnish employment for
a Thanksgiving day.

braced among its members one Tom Elliott,
an incorrigible wag, who was not noted for
any particular and marked attention to his

casional jeu d. esprit with the dry professor of

THE BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY THE
British East Iudia Company has dominion
over realm covering a million and half
square miles, with population of upwards of
one hundred and sixty millions. This vast
empire embraces every variety of soil and eli
mate, and its productions are varied and val
liable The money capital of ths company is
5000 600 sterling, or nearly eighty millions
of dollars, and its annual revenues which are
yearly increasing, are estimated at one hundred
and thirty-fve millions At the date of the
last report, the company consisted of 1850
stockholders privileged to meet in general
council The holder of $4,000 of stock has
one vote of $4,000 two of $4,000, 900
three and of $50, 900 four provided always
has been in possession of the same twelve
months The whole number of votes at the
present time is estimated at about 1900
These stock holders, thus qualified, meet once
in three months, in general council. They
elect the court of directors and board of con-
troll, in whom is vested the actual government
of India
The employees of the company are divided
into five classes-civil, clerical, medical, mill
tary and naval-and comprises nine or ten
persons. The Goyernor-General receives
salary of $l25, 900, and his perquisites are val
ued at 100000 yearly the members of the
governors council receive al annual salary of

revenues derived from the opium trade, which
amount to 3O,0OO,OO0 yearly. The standing
military force Of the company is about three
hundred thousand men, Europeans and ma
tives.
Although a vast and selfish monopoly, the
East India Company has, in pursuing its gigan-
tic schemes of sef-aggrandizewent, accomplish
ed great deal in the way of developing the
resources of the country by building roads and
constructing railways and magnetic telegraphs
Although mainly advantageous to the compa-
ny, these and other great improvements indi-
rectly benefit the native population by fur
nishing them with the grand levers of civiliza-
tion.

THE PASS OF DEATH.

II was a narrow pass, ....
Watered with human tears,
For Death had kept the outer gate
Almost six thousand years.
And the ceaseless tread of worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
Thronging, jostling, hurrying by,
As if they were only born to die.
stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread
Around him hnng gorgeous robe,
And a crown was on his head:
But Death, with look of whitening scorn,
Arrested him and said,
In humber dress must the king draw near,
For the crown and the purple are useless here"
Next came man of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold
But Death, who careth not for rank,
Careth as little for gold
Here that scroll / cannot allow,
For the gold of the richest is pOwerless row.
Another followed fast,
And book was in his hand
Filled with the flashes OF burning thought
That are known in many land
But the child of genius quailed to hear
Deaths pitiess demand
Here that book cannot enter with thee,
For the bright fash of genius is nothing to me-"
Next came maiden fair,
With that eye SO deeply bright,
That stirs within you strange sweet care,
Should you meet on a summer night;
But Death, ere the gentle maid passed through,
Snatched away its light
Beauty is power in the world,'' he saith,
:. Bat what can it do in the Pass of Death"
\ youth of sickly mein
Followed in thoughtful mood,
Whose heart was filled with love to God
And the early brotherhood
Death felt that he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good
Il own" cried he, :" the power of love,
