artiﬁcial heat aﬂbrdcd by the innumerable domestic and mannfaetory ﬁre!» ""1 ‘'0 IIBYO asked ourselves the uestion, would our cli- mate be better or worse for the change. That our winters would be more mild, that the cold would be less intense, that the Ilillsborougli would be frozen over about the same number of times in the course of a century, that the Thames or the Seine are at present, might r- haps be reckoned upon with something ike certainty; for time has been when, according to the account given by Julius Caesar in his commentaries, this was the case, and he ﬂou- rished about I900 years ago. What however would our summers‘ we very much question, whether the would be as much im roved as the winters. We have a stray suspicion that the former would be as touch too warm as the latter are—as is now thought by some people- too cold. Instead of the gentle cooling zcphyrs that come to us “like angel visits,” though neither “ few nor for between," might we not experience something like the deadly breath of the Sirocco. charged with fever, pestilence an cholera ; parching the earth. and extracting from it every particle of iuoisture, and subject- in its inhabitants to all the ills that excessive heat is certain to on euderl What would become of the vigorous ealth, tho ﬁrm muscle, the inclination and the aptitude to la- bor that ncw distinguish the natives of Prince Edward Island, that which is slowl butnot less surely converting the forests into ertile llolds? Let us an pose our winters milder, let what falls now in the shape of snow take the form ol'rain,—would those winters gain in point of pleaeantnessl We think not; we are among those, few though they may be, who hold it as part of their faith. that every thing has been rightly ordered, and that Providence has wise- ly placed obstacles in the way of man’s attain- ing his desires in order to stimulate him to ex- ertion, and we see that in these northern coun- tries, in consequence of the labor, mental and cor real, that its ople have to undergo, that the faculties attain to a higher pitch than those countries more richly endowed, as it is said, by the benelicence of nature. 'l‘lie less men have to do, the less they are willing to do, and the consequence of rich soil and warm suns is, to make men idle and voluptuous, two qua- lities which foster every vico that degrades our nature. Let us remember, that if the Ilillsbo- rough and the waters round our coast are fast bound in ice for four months out of the twelve, that in that time. they liuveaﬂorded us anextcut. of railroad that no country ol equal size can boast of, that if ten or twelve inches of snow cover the ground, that it enwraps the soil as witha mantle, and protects the roots of the trees and the vegetables, besides contributing‘ as it does in no small degree to the fertility ol the land. That if our brecaes are l'rosty, are kindly, that they harbor no concealed poi- son, but on the contrary, are the harbingers of health. In a word, let us make the best of the blessing which an all-wiso Providence has en- dowed us with, overcoming the seeming evils and hardshi ofour lot with combinations of skill and in ustry. cultivating the soil and the mind till both are brought to the highest degree of perfection they are capable of, and de rid upon it, we shal not in the long run be in cri- or, either in point of comfort or respectability, to any people upon earth.
