RECENTLY arrived steamers, says tho
New York Herald, report that the At
lantic is full of ice, and this explains
the mystery Of the incessant rains
from which the eastern seaboard. and
indeed the whole country, has been
suffering for more weeks than it is
apleasant thing to think Of It is
probable that there has been a mild
winter and early spring in the Arctic
regions. This has caused open wa.
ters, which have born into the Allan
TIC an uncommon quantity of ice. This
great mass Of ice, drifting into lower
ATTITUDES, is rapidly melting, and the
vapors arising from it are drawn to
the land and yield us the too abun-
dant transforms which have caused
floods and more or less injury to crops |
The land, gathering more heat than
the ocean and giving il ont also more
freely, heats and rarifies the air upon
It, and the vapors arising from the
melting ice rush in to Till the vacuum
thus constantly created by the sum-
mcr heats. If this explanation is cor.
rect we may have a continuation of
the rains for some time to come-un
til the masses of ice are melted, or un.
til the retpains drift further south. Ito

Character.

Character is capital in all depart
ments of life. Have you any one
you can recommendY' How often
is this question put in factories,
schools, colleges? Then the lad or
the man who has nothing but char
acter, gets his chance. He was seen
to take pains. to do all he undertook,
and to do il well-to. be ambitious
of excellence; and he is put in the
place that wants such a man. Char
acter, too, is like money at interest,
it grows while you are sleeping, lit
tie, slowlyat first perhaps, but sure
ly; and day comes when you find
your investment profitable beyond
your thoughts. For in truth the
best character Is made without
thinking much about it.
