According to writer in the North Ameri-

we advance from the equator to the poles, and
deer, ascs in ascending TO high table-lands. It
increases from the coasts TO the interior of conti-
nents, the western cousts being generally moe
rainy than the eastern ones At the equator the
quantity of rain which falls annually is ninety
five inches, and at Petersburg only seventeen,
The heaviest rain falls between the tropics;
and in Europe the rainy districts are in the A ps,
The middle of Portugal, the coast of Norway, The
coast of Ireland, and the northwest coast OF
Scotland. At Cape Horn no less than one hun
drrd and ffty-four inches fall, while in several
parts of the world there is no rain at all tn Sc
parts are called the rainlsss districts In the old
world there are two such districts the largest
including the desert of Sahara and Egypt in AT
rica, and in ASIA part of Arabia, Syria and Per-
sia; he other district, of nearly the same super
hrial extent lies between north latitude thirty
degrees and City degrees and between teyenty-
five and one hundred and eighteen degrees of
east longitude, including Thibet Zobi, and Sha-
ma, and Mongolia. In the new world the rain.
less districts are of much less magnitude, occu-
pying two narrow strips on the shores Of Peru
and Bolivia, and on the coast of Mexico and
Guatemala, with a small district between Trini-
dad and Panama, on the coast OF Venezuela.

young ba chrIors, contriyed the following plan
TO keep them quiet
"As soon as the sweet little creature awakes
and begins to squall sit up in bed, propped up
by pillow if it can't sit alone, its fingers
with thick molasses; then get half dozen feuth-
ers into its hands, and it will a once commence
picking the feathers from one hand to the other,
until it drops asleep. AS econ as il nwakes
again more molesses and feathers should be ap-
piled Immediately, and in place of the nerve
astounding yels of the little dear, there will be
a sweet and calm silence producing the most
profound enjoyment and rapturous domestic
felicity. A tea cup with molasses can be kept
at the head of the bed in a stand dra wer, ready
for use. Syrup is said to be preferable to com

Hath taken home His child.

Between us and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve to make
