Syrian Scenery and Climate.

Within its four corners nature has col
lected the luxuries of every cline and all

strange havoc in the greater part of Pal
estine. This was distinctly foretold. But
yet, even in its ruin, enough remains OF
its pristine glory to display both what it
was and what it is. to be again. No other
country, believe, of the same size, can
show the like variety For instance, from
Alpine SHOWS on the summit of Hermon,
10000 feet high, within a distance of
some seventy miles the traveller descends
through every gradation Of climate, to a
region truly sub-tropical in that deepest
spot on earth, the south of the Jordan val
lev. 70 those who know the land of Is
rael we'll I have but to mention in further
confirmation of this, the weird Dead Sea,
the lovely Gennesareth, the park like woods
of Gilead and Bashan, the pastures of
Moab, the wide plains, such as Sharon,
Esdraelon and Acca, hemmed in by purple
mountain walls; the central limestone range,
with an average height of over 1000 feet

Mit and 9unror,
LORENZO DOW.

Lorenzo Dow, it is said, was on his way
to preach in South Carolina, when under
large spruce tree he overlook colored
lad who was blowing large tin horn, and
would send forth blast with rise; and
swell, and cadence, which walked the ech-
oes of the distant hills Calling aside the
blower, Dow said to him :-"What's your
name, sir?" "My name-Gabriel, sir,
said the brother in ebony. "Well, Ga
briel, have you been to Church Hip
ayes, massa, Use been dar many time. "
EDO you remember big spruce pine tree
on the hill ?" "Oh, yes, massa, [ knows
dat pine tree" "Did you know that Lor-
EMO Dow had an appointment to preach
under that tree tomorrow" "Oh, yes,
massa, everybody knows dat" "Well,
Gabriel am Lorenzo Dow, and If you'll
take your horn and go tomorrow morning
and climb up into that pine tree and hide
yourself among the branches before the
people begin to gather, and wait there till
call your name and blow such blast
with your horn as l heard you blow a
minute ago, I'll give you dollar. Will
you do it, Gabriel?" eyes, massa, l take
dat dollar" He hid away in due time.
An immense concourse of persons of all
sizes and colors assembled at the appointed
hour, and Dow preached on the judgment
of the last day. By his powers of descrip-
ton he wrong the multitude up to the
opening of the scenes of the resurrection
and grand assize, at the call of the trum-
pet peals which were to wake the sleeping
nations. ''Then," said he, Suppose, my
dying friends, suppose you should hear, at
this moment, the sound of Gabriel's trum-
pet" Sure enough, at that moment the
trumpet of Gabriel sounded. The women
shrieked and many tainted; the men sprung
up and stood aghast; some ran; others fell
and cried for mercy; and all felt for time
that the judgment was set and the books
were opened Dow stood and watched
the drifting storm, till the fright abated,
and some one discovered the colored an
gel who had caused the alarm, quietly
perched on limb of the old spruce, and
wanted to get him down to whip him.
Then he resumed his theme, saying, II
forbid all persons present from touching
that boy up there. IF a oolored boy with
a tin horn can frighten you almost out of
your wits, what will you do when you shall
hear the trumpet thunder of the arch an
gel How will you be able to stand in
the great day of the wrath of God?"
The Democratic advocate., 1878-12-28
"Heat is Life Gold is Death -

There is no greater fallacy than the
opinion of many, particularly the young
and strong and vigorous, that winter-es-
pecially sharp, frosty one, with plenty
of snow-is the most healthy season of the
year. Very few persons seem to realize
the fact that cold is the condition of death,
and that in both warm and cold climates
il is our unconscious effort to maintain our
bodily heat at temperature Of ninety-
eight degrees that wears US out. To this
temperature, called "hlood- d-heat, !" every Gu,
bic inch Of oxygen that serves to vitalize
our blood must be raised by our own bodi,
lY heat, or life ceases. Since in Gold
weather the maintenance Of suficsentlv
elevated bodily temperature becomes very
often difficulty too great for our strength.
the advent of severe winter is really more
to be dreaded than visitation of pesti-
lence. The saying, "Heat is life-cold is
death, has striking illustration ana con
firmation in the reports now regularly SUBJ
mitted by DR.. Russell to the Glasgow San
itary Committee. The death rate rises
and falls with the regularity Of the ther-
mometer, So many degrees less heat, sos
many more deaths and vice versa. In one
Of his fortnightly reports DIR. Russell saws.
"The death rate in the first week Of the
fortnight was twcnty-one, and in the see
ond week twenty-five. The saean temper
ature in the former week was 40. 8 degrees
Fahrenheit, in the latter 3O.5 degrees"
He attributes the low rate of the first week
to the high mean temperature Of the pre-
ceding fortnight, which was AZ .O3 degrees
and adds: "This is good illustration Of
law which we frequently observe in these
reports Of Temperature andtdeath rates
that q week of low :4mperature produces
rise in mortality the week following. 2
In our climate it would probably be diff
cult to find more frequent cause of seri-.
GUS ailments than taking cold. Whatever
weak place We have, whatever constitu-
tional disorder we are subject to-, cold viii
surely discover We take colds because
our vitality is too low to ward off the ef-
fects of the reduced temperature aroana
US. As matter Of FIRST importance then.
to resist cold and the various derange-
ments Of the system consequent, il is ne
cessary by proper nutrition to maintaln
our animal heat; second ,to retain this heat
