New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-08-12

Every now and then a sapient paragraph starts its
rounds in the newspapers respecting some locality
On the coast of the North Atlantic to the effect that
its climate is changing because of an alteration
taking place in the direction of the Gulf Stream
Sometimes this alteration accounts for cold Winter
IN New-York sometimes for hot Summer; occa-
sionally for Newfoundland fogs, and not unfre-
qucntly for iccbergs seen from steamers deck on
tourists first voyage to Europe. The latest piece OF
this kind of wisdom is n story that Russia objects to
q proposal of Sweden to annex the island of
SpItzbergen, now almost uninhabited, because
Russia has hopes of the future fertility
Of that island, based upon the changes in the Gulf
Stream. 1t is needless to say that this is supple
mented by q reference to present weather at our
wateringpaces but the aror of the pursuit of pos
sbe consequences in this goes further, and
the photographers at Washington are asked to pre-
diet just the hour and the day when New-England
shall become a Labrador, and the White Mountains
roll down glaciers. 1t might be well to note that
if the changes in tho Gulf Stream are to depend upon
known astronomical facts and calculations about Ii
bratons of the earth's axis, it be safely calcu-
lated that they will not affect climates much for
few thousand years. Little is really known by actual
observation about such changes in the Gulf Stream !;
but a well-known literary gentleman of this city
claims the paternity of them an explanation of
the weather and declares that he invented them to
ill a corner of an evening newspaper.

Flowers and Children.

In an article in the May number of Art
on the influence of toys in educating and
forming the tastes of children, Blanchard
Jerrold writes charmingly on the subject
of flowers. He says:
/ would have flowers crowded in the
school room windows of the very young.
would build broad open balconies for
the baby scholars; where, during every
daylight moment of fair weather, they
might have fresh air, and bits of beauty
Towering under their iDquiring eyes. I
would have the Pouponniere of Brussels
copied, making elementary education be-
gin NOT when child has been already
erected into little monster by bad parents
and evil surroundings; but in its protract-
ed cradle, in the first shaking of its rattle,
and the first pointing of its fingers to pic
lures and plants. We shoulder our chill
dren would-see the good results of such
cradle teaching; of aesthetics thrown into
the alphabet, into the toy-shop, the play
ground, and the adornments of the school
room. For the child that is alive to the
simplest lessons and beauties of the field,
that can delight in striving to imitate-if
only with straw or paper--a beautiful
form placed before it, is far on the way to
a higher education, even should subsequent
events prove untoward in its path, than
the creature of dull, uniformed sight in
fancy, who may be kept well at school
under good masters. A feeling for the
beautiful, a delight in it, which is at pres
ent almost unknown in England, is that
which we shall strive after, not in art
academies but in infant schools and nurse
ries. The roughest Dutch doll is the
Venus di Medici to the child that nurses
it. We give the ugly thing to the child,
and so make for ourselves the after diff

Planning Out Work Beforehand.

FORESIGHT and calculation, and plan
ming beforehand, will save much hard
work. No hour or part of day should
go to waste. Work should be so planned
and prearranged that when the weather
is threatening, and rain expected, the work
for rainy day must be taken up. BY so
doing, the delay and uncertainty caused
by waiting for the rain to come, the loss of
time in returning home when it has come,
the injury to clothes and harness by a
thorough drenching, and the time occu-
pied by drying off again, are all saved or
prevented. An "ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" here So many
jobs are on hand, and ready for rainy
day, that generally when it comes, it is
passed away in indecision as to which
should be taken up first. To provide for
these occasions is the duty of the business
man and good farmer. When work is laid
out ahead, make practice of going
through the list, and thoroughly complet-
ing one thing at time. There will then
be no occasion for lying awake nights,
thinking of what ought to have been done
during the day, Or what ought to be done
tomorrow. You may literally and wisely
then "take no thought for the morrow"
for "the morrow will take care of the
things of itself-Hedrth and Home

Stephens and Davis.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS has come
out in favor of JEFF Davis stern-foremost
new departure. He does not like the
amendments, because "the annals of no
country or age show grosser or more pal
pable usurpations of power-more glaring
acts of wrong, violence, fraud. and perfidy
on the part of those in authority-than do
these measures upon which solely these
sO-called amendments were based" 1t is
fact that many Southern men and North
ern Democrats are exceedingly indignant
at Davis and Stephens for stirring up this
subject at the present time. But the Re-
publicans have nothing to complain of in
this connection. While the ex-Confeder.

The Weakness of the Democracy.

EiT-Er =. it3a - ASA
For long time the Democratic party
was distinguished by its brilliant victories
over all opponents. 1t was so confdentof
its power over the American people that
its leaders boldly proclaimed It as the per
manent party of the republic, and warned
the young men of the country to come un-
der it's wing if they would be sure of polit-
lcal advancement; ia warning which was
heard and acted upon by very many who
had been educated in different political
faith, but who preferred selfish success to
faithful adherance to principle. But
however devoid of principle Individual
Democrats might be, the party, as an or
ganization, was noted for making square,
unequivocal issues with its adversary and
exacting an implicit obedience of each of
It's members. 1t was a party of measures,
if not Of principle The Democrat in Of

forth to execution without either mercy
or remorse. The party, after an election,

ACCORDING to various statements col

not supposed that the result is very differ

Augustus Twain seems to have made
something of a stir about the year 1160
He was as full of fun as he could be, and
used to take his old saber and sharpen it
up, and get in convenient place on dark
night, and stick it through people as they
went by, to see them jump. He was a
born humorist. But he got to going too
far with it; and the first time he was
found stripping one of these parties, the
authorities removed one end of him, and
put it up on nice high place on Temple
Bar, where it could contemplate the peo-
pie and have good time. He never liked
any situation SO much or stuck to it so
long,
