RETROSPEC'I‘ION. An old man sat by the cottage fire, V And he Watched the children play, And a tear stole down his aged’éheék. ' But be wiped it not away ; "I For his thoughtshadwandered back again ‘To the sce’nes’of other years, * “‘ And’ his spirit had found a “glad relief In the falling of his fears. ‘ ’ Again he played en the dear old hearth. ’And' heard a mother’s 'v’oiice‘, ’ ' Andt’ffo gentle tones fell on his ears, ‘iid Tfnade his heart rejoice: Again he'joined in the blind-man’s buff, And the game‘of hide-and-seek, And he heard his little sister’s voice, Se gentle, soft. and sweet.

The following sketch of one of] Prof. Guyot’s lectures as taken from the Independent : Nothing in "nature seems more variable than the succession of winds; yet a careful investigation discloses a regular system of circu- lation iii the atmosphere, which would manifest itself in a rigid regu- larity of phenomena, ifall disturbing causes were removed. This varid'-~‘~ bleness cxrsts chiefly in the temper- ate zones, while in the tropics the regularity of winds is remark- able. One of the phenomena which most strikingly impressed the com- panions of Columbus was the con: stancy of the east wind which blew their ships steadily towards the west and seemed to prevent all possibility of return to Spain. Even on the coasts of England and France, the wind blows about two-thirds of the year from the lsoutl‘twestuvei‘ging more directly towards "the west in the higher latitudes. "There is thus an approach to regularity even in the temperate regions. ‘ ' Winds result from disturbances of the equilibrium bf the ati‘no'sphere The atmosphere is composed ofsuce cessive layers of air, of different" density. ' 'VVlien these successive layers are in‘equilibrium, they pro-' duce calm; when in motion, wind, They are set in motion chiefly by heat. Thus, an air thermometerâ€"4' foi‘med of two bulbs filled with air, in which the two columns of air are, separated from communication with each other by a drop of alcohol be~ Weenâ€"as so, sensitive that on the approach of" a person within two yards of it the heat' radiated from the human body will immediately cause the drop to move. If, in na- ture, an upper i layer “of "air is of equal or'greateif density than a low- et':thei‘e will be a downward current to'wardftlie earth ; if in one part of a'la'y'ei‘tthe density is greater than in another part-of the-Same layer, there will be a horizontal motion psi-ralch ' to the earth’s surface. Thus; a fire in a stove heats the .air inside till it becomes exoeedingly rare; when the outside air rushes in Wlill- a strong draftâ€"corresponding in nature to the rectification of air in one locality, and the rushing in of colder air, causing a gale of wind; A grand general cause of the? on: equal temperature over“ the ‘earth’s: surface, is the spherical form Of'the‘ planet, which causes aniunequal dis- us the grcatzoncs of temperature, or the astrortomicaf cli‘tittitesâ€"â€"â€"tlie crate and the frigid. remain stationary at the equator, in- stead of moving as it docs,t0ver the wide space between the tropics. The hottest part of the earth’s ,sut‘u face is that which is most‘ directly inder tlie'sun’s rays, and as this re- gion is- continually changing from one tropic to another, the great sys- tem of winds will in like manner keep constantly changing with the motion of the sun. Another" cause of disturbance is found in the differâ€" ent effects of the same degree of heat upon land and water. The land absorbs the sun’s rays more rapidly than the water, and also 'dly gives up the heat re- On a summer day, if a of a bucket of cold water, the iron will become warm to the touch. while the water will be, still cool. Land is thus sooner heated and soon- er cooled than water. A further cause of inequality of temperature and variableriess of winds is in the For der the tropical sun, soon after the Sun rises, the island and the- atmo- sphere abovo is become warm ; by noon the surface is intensely treated, and the atmosphere exceedingly ra-‘ rifled. The surrounding ocean, not so readily absorbing heat, remains cooler, and keeps its atmosphere denser; ' ‘ l ‘ i- - As a consequence, the denser air begins to flow in curretits‘to fill the partial vacum caused by the lighter; and the result is the “ sea-breeze,” which is one of the needed compenâ€" sations-"of‘a tropical climate. '5..'I‘o'. ward owning the land begins rapidly ,togive up the heat which it rapidly received during the day, while the Surrounding ocean and its atmo- sphere becoming more dense than that of the waterubegins to flow rapidly into it, constituting the well known" “ land breezefil » . . ~ Four great causes are thus oper- ating to establish a system ofwinds; first, the spherical form of the earth, which, from the sun’s position in re- ference to it; occasions a gradation of zones oftemperature ; second the ecliptical action of the sun, from one side of the equator to the other. by which occastonally changed ; third, the division of the earth’s surface in- to land and water, causing variations of temperature, under the, same de- gree ofheat; and fourth, the sue-v cession of day and night, causing land and sea breezes. 7" Tim CinCASSIANs.-â€"â€"Physicians are not wanting in the country; there are both Turks and Circas- siatis; the first, ignorant as they are everywhere, combine the gross- est superstition with unskilfulness; they have no other remedies than; verses of the Koran to apply to the diseased. The Cii‘cassians pursue a more reasonable plan ; they use herbs, butter, wax, honey and bleed- ing. They employ the latter, espe- cially, for affections of the head»; they make "*an incision with acut- ting-iron in the painful part, and stop tl’ic'vbleedino with nettles or cotton- They are particularly successful in curing wounds, for which they only use vegetable substances; but the ceremonial which accompanies the treatment of the, wounded, is some- what curious. ‘ i ' '» The patient is laid in a separate room ; they place at the foot of his bed a ploughshai‘e, a hammer, and a cup of water, in whichghe, places a new laid egg. The people ,who come to visit him, when entering, strike three blows of the hammer on the ploughshare, and dipping their fingers in the water, they sprinkle him with it, at the same time pray- ing that God will speedily restore him to health ; they then range themselves round the chamber. He who accidentally seats himself iii the place of the physician, pays him a forfeit; and these little pre- sents are the principal cmi‘olgumei‘its of the sorts of [Esculapiusz' It is usual to pass the whole night in the apartment of the invalid ; the rela- tions and: friends take their supper with him, which, among other ' things, oft-en consists of a sheep or a goat. Towards evening, the young people of both sexes repair to this assembly with a flute, and an instru- ment much resembling a into. The boys place themselves ortoneside of the chamber. and the girls on the other ; they commence with a war- like song, of which the accompany- ing word's are‘in praise of valor ; the girls "then dance around. The In- struttieiiialists then play for some time; and they conclude, before supper, with the recital of some fa- ble. As soon as supper is removed. they play at different trifling games; and the last is that of fastening a packthi-‘cad to the ceiling, and tying to the end ‘of it a kindofflat cake or biscuit, which the young people throw to one another, and try to catch it with their teeth; so that frequently the game does not end without some of them being broken. Thus the first= night is spent'With- out venturing to sleep. The sick person does not appear to be at all incommoded by the noise ; whether he fears to expose his weakness, whether the warlike songs reanimate his courage, or whether. in short, the scene ol‘gdiety before him ‘ acts- as a soother of his pain ; certain it is, that he appears insensible to, it, and that the show of hardiness which he makes does not in tlieleast prejudice his recovery. ~ ' ~ TALKING EVIL or DIGNITIES.-â€"-A milktnati at Klosterneubui‘g, .a’ Loud; in the neighborhood of Vienna‘s, “has been sent- enced to tlu-‘eeanonths imprisonment for speaking disrespectfully of St. Leopold, the patron? saint nefitliis province.
