INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL NATURE ON MAN: or r. .r.‘saxuu.

In casting our eyes over the earth. our attention is Ii-st arrested by tlte great variety of scenery, nnd the different degrees of fertility that characterize its surface. 'Ihn contracts are rciucrkable end striking. In the polttr regions, we ltsvn an aspect of perpetual do- solution; while, in tropical countries. sunshine and verdure every where greet our eyes. The poet of the ' Seasons ’ thus deocribeo the former regions— _

‘ For relentless months, continual night Holds o'er the glittering waste her starry reign. There. tliruiigli the prison of unbounded wilds, Barred by the hand of Nature from escape. Wild roams tltc Russian exile. Nsuglit around Strikes his sad eye but deserts lost in snow, And heavy loaded groves; and solid nods ' 'I‘hat stretch ntliwart the solitary wants. Their icy horrors to the frozen main.’

Such is a trulltful nttd beautiful description ofthcne regions of the earth roamed b the Lnpltindcr, the Siberian, and the northern Rus- sian and Green under.

Now let us turn to the shores of the Mediterrnnean. and the Is- lands of the Grecian Archipelago, and refresh our vision siiiong tho ncotioi celebrated in classic verse. ere. t mantle of snow givcs

Ittounhiin-ltoiric. Eryually diversified are tlte scenes of the two contiguous countries re erred to. but too familiar to need a description.

\Ve may consider the various aspects of the earth as so many cltnngt-it in the countenance of great Nature. with which as are lIm:l!lCd as with the smiles and learn, jewc and sorrows of is dear friend. In her iiiouiitaiiiis and hills. she countries the nip and ititiji-sly o it king, tits-s.-ing into silence and itdiiiirutioti; fflllll tltu btereiliiig elitl‘, rugged and barren in its snpoct. she frowis upon us with the eye of II despot, sending it thrill of ltorror through our fraiitt-,; along the sunny rule, tilie annuities I sprightly air, ltcr cycn be.-tiiiiiip joy, and her face wrinkled with laughter. ms the quiet lalte, ciitbowercd among liills. it placid, cert-ne nniilo sits upnit lmr couittcrtance, tranquillizing our thoughts and hnshiiig our passion into pence. . gnio, we her in the heaving and swelling ocean. when the tempest goes forth upon its honour, agitated. as it were. by some monster passion. foaming with rage and uttering n wratltful voice: and anon she sits on t desert, desolate and sad, with the tlislsevellod lock. the weeping eye, and accent of woe.

'l‘bess remarks have been made with the view to introduce the 1II‘lllt\ll us to how f:tr liutntin character is iitodificd end iiiuuldcd by tie aspects of external nature. \Vithotit intending a full discussion ofthe subject. we shall trodnce n few illustrations showing this influence to ho undoiiht-:d y great. In reference to English charac- ter. is favourite poet thus writes :-

tske perchnstcn si well-directed aim, \Vho seek it in his climate and his frame; Liberal in all things else, yet Nature here. \Vith nttsrii severity, doule out theyeitr. Winter invades the Spring. and 0 ea pours A chilling llood on Suiiitiier‘n drooping flowers; Unwclcoine vapours uenclt autumnal beams, Ungeitial lilnntn nttoniling curl the streams : The pnnsunts urge their harvests. ply the fork With double toil, and shiver at their work : Thus. with n vigor for his good designed. She rettrs her favourite man of all tiiniikiitd.'

Though this in poetry. yot poetry utton a great many truths; end it is very curious and suggestive o fact. that English climate and character so untiroly coincide. John Bull is u bluntoring fellow, just like his winds; and, if his climate is ficklc and sullsa in its chaitgss. soris be It y and his tsntpers uitcertuin. Are ' winters frosty. and his summers genial i so are his likes and dis- liltec. liic loves and his hates : he has much winter and not it little sticuliirio mingled with his character.

No such amusement obtains a footing in rude cliiiiaten and on inhospitable shores.

I‘liese observations might be extended to all the countries of the earth. Wherever extremes in climate and striking characteristics of natural ac»-.ner obtain. we are certain to God corresponding o- velopment of character in the people. Certniiily the instances are not all equally striking or manifest, yet are we never without some signal proofnfthe facts in question. As beote observed. we do itot refer all the peculiarities of character that distinguish one nation front another to the influences 0 external nature; on the contrary, we believe, that Nature ltiys on the foundation of many of thetn. and some may be traced to the influences of other nations.-to tru- ditionsl and religious oboervunces. and other causes.

If our facts and observations have established the proposition that tho nspo‘t of external nature exerts a ver important induction in utouldin the character of man, we think the feet itself cannot be dsvoil 9 interest as a matter of curious information. or bnrron instruction in matters of lligltent moment. If it is the law of man's usturn. lhat he becomes usnimilutod to the things around him. it bocoinen important to him to bestow sonic nttention upon the urchi- tscturo of his dwellings and places of constant resort. and u the aspect of their position and udornments. We know, thct tliisnluw of our nature has been taken advantage of in bygone ages, to rturnn the worst superstitions, and even now, resort is bed to the some measures for impressions to bolster up decnying nynteiitn of error.

" e law ofttnsimilntion is peculiarly active in itnsociutionn be- tween tnornl and intelligent beings. We are told in the Scriptures, that ‘we all with open face beholding. as in a glnnn the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory. even an lay tltc Spirit of the Lord.‘ Wliztt a glorious sssiinilstiea is this?

itli wliritgratitudo should we reflect on tlto fact, that God has given us natures susceptible of such glorious transformations, and capable of such high attainments in the settle of it !

Scripture exhortatiens to cheerfulnesn have ielerencs to the name riw. ‘ nit countenance ’ seems to the peculiar chu- rsctoristic of the hypocrite, and is always a premonition of moral blight.

It is known to most sftbo ordinary readers of Ibis jowcehtbot our enterprising towcsrnas.

A rtial ant . iit some important respects, erroneous description of this under- taltiitg has found its way into the London journals; and we have therefore been induced to visit the works, in order td furnish the iulilic with it just view oftheir extent and importance.

The estate on which these buildings are being erected stretches from the lower road lesdin from Sltipley, to the Bingloy Road. across thc railway, the cam , and the lliver Airo, to the confines of llaildon Green, and includes the flour-mill and “ stepping-stones" so familiar to the nntnerous visitors to that romantic s t, Eldwick Glen. 'l‘he part ofthe estate devoted to the " Wor n" we are lIIM\ul10 describe is one ofthe man beautiful spots on abundant in the beautiful valley of the Airc. t lies between the railway panc- ing through Skipton to Lancaster and Glit w. and the Leeds an l.iverpool Canal, both of which will be rtble to convey goods to and from the pretiiises withtnit either cnrtsgn or portertt e. The use itpprnpriiitntl to the building is computed at six acres. while the se- veral floors in the mills. warehouses, and sheds, form n nnperficies 55.600 yards, or II} arrr-s. '
