me pen Severe Droughts.

An interesting record is that of severe dreughts, as far back as the landing of the Pilgrims in the United States. How mary thousand times are observations make like the following: ‘Such a hot season!’ ‘Such dry weather !’ ‘Such high winds or calms,’ ete. Read ihe follewing list showing the number of days without rain:

In thesummer of 1621, 24 days.

In the summer of 1630, 41 days.

Ja the summer of 1657, 75 days.

In the summer of 1662, 80 days.

lo the summer ef 1674, 45 days.

In the summer of 1688, 81 days.

lo the summer of 1694, 62 days.

Io the summer of 1705, 40 days.

Io the summer of 1715, 46 days.

In the summer of 1728, 61 days.

lo the summer ef 1730, 92 days.

Ia the summer of 1741, 72 days.

In the summer of 1749, 108 days.

In the summer of 1755, 42 days.

In the summer ef 1762, 123 days.

In the summer of 1773, 80 days.

In the summer of 1791, 82 days,

Io the summer of 1812, 28 days,

In the summer of 1856. 24 days.

Io the summer of 1871, 42 days.

In the summer of 1875, 26 days,

In the summer of 1876, 26 deys,

Jt will be seen that the longest drought that ever eccurred in America was in the summer of 1762. No rain fell from the first of May to the first of September. Many of the inhabitants sent to England for hay and grain. Many persons will deubtiess feel re- lieved to know that the eutting off of forests don’t apper to have made droughts any worse than they were a hundred years ago.

The Prime of Life.

Between the ages of forty-five and aixty a man who has preperly regulated himself may be censidered inthe prime of life. His matured strength ot con~ stitution renders him almest impervious to an attack of disease, and experience has given soundness to his judgment. His mind is resolute, firm and equal ; all his functions are in the highest order; he assumes mastery Over his business ; buils up a competence ou the founda- sien he bas lJaidin early manhood, and passes through aperiod life attended by many gratifications. Having gone a year or two ever sixty, he arrives at astandstil]. But athwart this is the viacduet called the turn of life, which it erossed in safety, leads te the valley of ‘old age,’ round which the river wiuds, asd then beyond, without boat or causeway, to effect his passage. The bridge is, however, constructed of fra- gile material, and it depends how it is trodden whether it bend or break. Geut or apoplexy are also in the vicia- ity to waylay the traveller, and thrust him from the pass; but let him gird up his loins and provide himaelt with a fit- ter staff, and he may trudge it on safely and with perfect composure. To quit metaphor, ‘the turn of life’ isa turn either into a prelonged walk or into the grave. The system and powers having reached the utmest expan- sion, now beyin either to close likea

flower at sunset or break down at once, One injudicious stim- ulant; may ferce it beyond its

atrength, while careful supply of props and the withdrawal of all that tends to feres a plant wiil sustain. it in beauty and vigor uatilthe night has entirely st in.

Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister.

Ata meetiog of the Ottawa Clerical Union, a petition to the Senate and House of Commons in opposition to the Deceased Wire’s Sister Bill was drawn up. Itsets forth that ,whereas a bill has been brought before your Hon, Houses prepesing to legalize marriage between a man and his deceased wife's sister or 2 woman aod her husband’s brother, ani whereas such marriages hove been deelared by the charch Caihelic from the earliest ages to be contrary to the laws of God ascertained in the Holy Scriptures; whereas they are strictly forbidden in the table of affiuity in the Beok of Commen Prayer, which forms part of that iaw of the ehurch to which we at our ordinations vowed obedience ; whereas the propesed bill, if passed, will lay a burden on our consciences by bringing the laws of the eountry igto the conflict with the laws of Giod: whereas we believe such mars riayres would be subversive of morality, and would lead to serious social evils, therefore we do-earnestly beseech you, geutiemen of the House uf Commons, an) you, honorable gentlemen of the Senate, to refuse your consent to the sak! proposed bill.’ A resolution was passed asking that the most reverend the Metropolitan should invire the bisheps and clergy of the ecclesiastical province of Canada to assemble at Ot- tawa to take part in the presentation of the petitjon of the Provincial Synod. =
