Carey, the great political economist of America, first published his new theory of migra- tions of the human race as affected by climate. This theory is, in brief, that migratory movements made on the large scale, and made for permanence, are never across parallels of latitude, from north to south, or vice versa, but always across degrees of longitude, and along isothermal lines. In the process of peace- ful emigration. says Mr. Carey, the emi- grant seeks in his new home the nearest} approach to the temperature to which he ‘ has been accustomedâ€"the Highlandcrl going to Canada, the Irishman to the Middle States, leaving to the Spaniard and the Portuguese the more shnny lands of the South. The people of New England, moving westward, seek ‘the northern portions of New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa and’ Illinois, and the Northwestern States, while emi- grants from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, go to South- ern Illinois and Indiana, Kansas, &c. Dr. William Elder, whose important work on “Questions of the day” we lately noticed, thus shows how well the law of large migratory movements, dis~ coverd by Mr. Carey, is borne out by facts 2â€"â€" “ it is the custom of writers, especi- ally of moralists and theologians, to speak of man as cosmopolitan; that he is so much less affected by climate than plants and the inferior animals that he is almost independent of the meteorologiâ€" cal conditions of his habitation on the earth. This notion needs correction. The species, or collective mankind, is adapted to all climates ; but the varieties of races are governed by their natal habitudes in their fitness for and choice of permanent location. Artificial de- fenses against vicissitudes of tempera- ture, and a considerable constitutional power of accommodation, enable the enterprising men of trade and travel to ‘ avoid the worst and most immediate con- sequences of a change of atmospheric conditions. The spirit of commerce and of conquest carry men all over the world, and across the zones; but colonization follows accustomed temperatures. The barbarous invaders of Rome came down ‘ upon Italy from the north, northeast and northwest, traversing perhaps five degrees of latitude, into a more genial region; but they retired, after a tempo- rary sojourn, to their native climate. The Saxons could permanently inhabit England, for their native land lay in the same latitude; and the Normans had only to cross the English channel to change their residence without an impor- tant change of the climatic conditions to which they had been accustomed." “ So fate willed it,”â€"that’s the reasonx Given by half the world today, For their sad and foolish blunders, For their stumblings by the way. Or should fortune prove inconstaut, Going sudden, as she came,: Blighting hopes and breaking day dreams, Luckless fate must take the blame. Should the maiden lose her lover, Or Sir Million lose his plate, Both would cr , with different tempers, Oh my arm». , cruel fate! So the idle and the shiftlessâ€" So the spendthrit’t and the sotâ€" Blind and foolish. weak and sinful, Lay to fate their hapless lot. Life is ours, and death is certainâ€" This ‘we know at any rate; But our acts, or acts of others, Surely make our daily fate. l Dr. Elder then proceeds to show that‘ geographical and climatic lines run through the politics of the people also, and that the political difierences between North and South in Europe are repeated along climatic lines in the Western world. Emigrants from Europe, and especially those from the Eastern States of the Union carry with them the characteris- tics of the several regions from which they remove, and so give a. similar com- plexion to their political creeds'and‘ in- dustrial policies._ This is an interesting portion of' the subject, which Dr. Elder treats at considerable length, gives proofs from the political history of the North- ern, the Central, and the Southern Zones of the Union respectively. Into political considerations we do not propose now to enter, but the point we' wish to make isâ€"the superior physical adaptability, at all events, of the N orth- erfi‘rae'es’, $6 (120‘ c'olohiuing of thg whole“ "So Fate Willed it.” gwlwtfiinna; Emmy. vast portion of this continent now called l Canada. It was a Sound practical judg-‘ ment which long ago caused the Hud. son's Bay Company to choose their ser- vants in the northwest mostly from the hardy islanders of the north of Scotland; ‘ and this policy, once adopted; worked so well that it was never changed. With-j out at all underrating the value t6 Canag da of immigration from other quarters, we may be allowed to express the hope? that recent action, looking towards the promotion of a large influx to our shores! of Scottish Highlanders and Norwegians may be vigorously pushed. Our southern limits are fixed and known, but a great problem for Canada yet isâ€"how far north settlement can be pushed. We touch the ocean both east and westâ€"gains to the southward are out of the questionâ€"the only further gains possible for us lie to the northward. A degree of latitude across the continent is something, and every degree of latitude gained makes Canada a greater country. Believing in the importance of this view, we boldly proclaim that it is for the in- terest of Canada to make special effort for the encouragement of immigrants of the northern races. There is nothing invidious in this; by doing so we should merely be acting in harmony with the irreversible laws of nature, and making the best of the circumstances in which we find ourselves. These considerations are not merely matter of philosophic theory: they are of grave practical in- terest besides, and fitted to engage the attention of our statesmen, as well as of every patriotic Canadian.-â€"â€"Pooples Journal. A book entitled “The Rrilways in Canada,” recently issued at Toronto, contains the following sketch of the first attempt at railway working in Canada: “In 1836 the first attempt at working a railway was made. The St. Lawrence and Champlain, (now the Montreal and Champlain,) was opened in that year; the rails were of wood with flat bars of iron spiked on them, and from the ten- dency of this class of rail to curl or bend upward as the wheels passed over it, it became known as the “snake rail.” From this awkward peculiarity it often happened that the rails came into con- ‘tact with the body of the cars or other rolling stock, in which case both fared badly. The first locomotive used on the line was sent froin Europe accompanied by an engineer, who for some unexâ€" plained reason had it cagged up and se- creted from public view. The trial trip‘ was made by moonlight in the presence? of a few interested parties, and -it is not described as a success. Several attempts were made to get the “ Kitten”â€"for that was the nickname applied to this pioneer locomotiveâ€"to run to St. Johns, but in vain; the engine proved refractory and horses were substituted for it. It is re- lated, however, that a practical engineer being called in from the United States. the engine, which was thought to be hopelessly unmanageable, was pronounced in good order, requiring only ‘ plenty of wood and water.’ This opinion proved correct, for after a little practice the ‘ extraordinary’ rate of speed of twenty miles an hour was attained. Other difli- culties were soon overcome, and the first Canadian railway became an accom- plished fact.” It is not at all wholesome to be in a hurry. Locomotives have been reported to have moved a mile in a. minute for short distances; but locomotives have come to grief by such great rapidity. Multitudes in their haste to get rich are ruined every year. The men who do everything maturely, slowly, and de- liberately, are the men who most often succeed in life. People who are habitu- ally in a hurry generally have to do things twice over. The tortoise beats the hare at last. Slow men seldom knock their brains out against a post. ‘Footraces are injurious to health as are all forms of competitive exercises; steady labor in the field is the best gymnasium in the world. Either labor or exercise carried to exhaustion, or prostration, or even to great tiredness, expressed by “fagged out,” always doas more harm than the previous exercise has done good. All running up stairs, running to catch up with a vehicle or ferry boat, are ex- tremely injurious to every age and sex, and condition of life._ It ought to be the most pressing necessity which should induce a person over fity to run twenty yards. ‘Those live longest who are de- liberate, whose actions are measured, who never embark In any enterprise a without ‘sleeping over it,’ and who per- ffm‘m all the every day acts of life with 'calmness, , Quakers areasproverbially calm, quiet people, and Quakers are a lthrifty folk, the world our.
