“J venture to think the evidence now brought forward, however imperfectly, is at 
least sufficient to justify the conclusion that there is not a hair ora line, not a spot 
or a colour, for which there is not a reason,—which has not a purpose or a meaning 
in the economy of nature.”—Sir Joun LuBpocx. 
“A very tyrant is the rain; 
He throweth around his chilly chain, < 
He barreth the rich, and he barreth the poor, 
While his sentinels pace at every door.” 
TT. BucHanan Rwap. 
“ Roads are wet where’er one wendeth, 
And with rain the thistle bendeth, 
And the brook cries like a child! 
Not a rainbow shines to cheer us; . 
Ah! the sun comes never near us, 
And the heavens look dark and wild.” 
Mary Howrrr. (From the German.)
