Effects Of Cm^Ate.—In The Tropcal Region...
Effects of Cm ^ atE . —In the tropcal regions the Jer of life in nature iacarried to its highest degree ; ? hns with the tropical man , the life of the body overmasters that of the soul ; the physical instincts of our rmture ecUpse those of the higher faculties ; passion prelominates over intellect and reason ; the passiv & feulties overthe ac ^ rVe iacult ^ es . A nature too rich ,-too rodigal of her gifts , does not compel man to wrest his
Lmlier his daily breadby- daily tail . ; A regular climate , and the absence of a dormant season , render forethoug ht of little use to him . Nothing invites him to that strugg le of intelligence against nature which raises the powers of man to their higfiest pitch . Thus , he never dreams of resisting physical nature ; he is conquered by her ; he submits to the yoke , and becomes again the animal man , in proportion as he abandons himself toj external influence ^ forgetfal of his high
moral destihationTrTBTjEh ^^ lempier ^ te ^^ is activity and niovement . iv alie . atternationg of heat and cold , the changes of the seasons , a fresher and more bracing air , incite ? mail fa ^ constant struggle , to forethought , and to the vigorous employment of all his faculties . A more economical nature yields nothing except to the sweat of his brow ; every gift on her part is a recompence for effort" on his . Nature here , pven while challenging man to the conflict , gives him
the hope of victory ; and if she doea not show herself prodigal , she grants to his activeandintelligent labour more than his necessities require ; while she calls out bis energy , she thus gives him ease and leisure , which permit him to feultivAte all the lofty faculties of .. bia higher nature . Here , physical nature is not a tyrant , but a useful helper ; the active faculties , the undftrstandingj and the reason , rule over the instjncts and the passive ^ ulties ; the soul over over nature . —^ Ghi yotfs ISarth and Mali .
The A & tmxTS Myth . —There was a myth prevalent among the ancients , that in Arcadia there lived a certain femiiy of the Antsei , of wbicb : one w ; aS ever obliged to be transfornied into ar wolf . The members of the family cast lots , and all accompanied the luckless wight on whom the lot fell ^ to a pool of _ water . This he swam over , and hayingEntered into the wilderness on the other side , w ' as forthwith in" form , a wolft and for nine years kept company with wolves ; at the expiration of that period he again swam across the pool , and was restored to his . natural " shape , only that the addition of nine years was placed upon his features . — Zoological Notes and . Anecdotes ,
Sohiudee ' s TatRTi Yeab £ ' WXb . —Thisautumn I have read Schiller ' s " History of the Thirty Years ' War , " and , time after time , I have raised my hands in astonishment , not in . admiration , of thov wjcjrk Q t by no means 1 but in wonder at the possibility that a book like this , which is not even tolerably well-written , and in which the narrative never ,. flows smoothly pn , but is ever halting and stumblihg > should be allowed to rank as . a classical work . , Time will assuredly do justice to it , and allow the thing to sink into oblivion . —Niebuhr's Life and Letters .

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWER HAMLETS . f ^ i ENTLEMEN , —I beg leave respectfully . \ JC offer myself as a Candidate for the Tower Hamlets at the next election . I am an advocate for tho widest extension of tho franchise , and for voting by ballot , believing that , without the ballot , all attempts to reform and purify our electoral system must prove abortive . I regard the union of Church and State as detrimental to the interests of religion ; and I have consistently opposed Churchrates as burdensorao to tho conscientious Nonconformist , and unjust in principle , I pledge myself to support the largest reduction of taxation compatible with the maintenance in a state of ofBoienoy of those establishments whioh are necessary for tho security and defence of the British Empire , and I would do my beat to reform all existing abuses . I am nn unflinching supporter of the principles of Free-trade , whioh are as yet but imporfeotly developed in our financial and commercial policy , and , should I obtain your confidence and support , it will bfl my duty aa your representative to devote myself to your service , and , as an Englishman , to the service of our common country . I am , Gentlemen , Your obedient servant , . ' WILLIAM OONINGHAM . 20 , Sussex-square , Brighton , Muroh 2 , 1852 .
