.■3 Tropical Climate. — Insects are the curse of 

 Topical climates. The vete rotige lays the foun- 

 dation of a tremendous ulcer. In a moment you 

 are covered with ticks. Chigoes bury themselves 

 in your flesh, and hatch a large colony of youno- 

 chigoes in a few hDurs. Tliey will not live to° 

 gether, but every chigoe sets up a separate ulcer, 

 and has his own private pus. Flies get entry into 

 your mouth, into your eyes, into your nose. You 

 eat flies, drink flies, and breath flies. Lizards, 



cockatrices, and snakes, get into the bed ants 



cat the books — scorpions sting you on the foot 



every thing stings, bites, or bruises — every sec- 

 ond of your existence you are wounded by some 

 piece of animal life, that nobody lias ever seen be- 

 fore, except Swammerdam and Mariam. An in- 

 sect with eleven legs is swimming in your tea cup 

 — a non descript with nine wings is struggling in 

 the small beer, or a caterpillar with several dozen 

 eyes in his belly is hastening over the bread anJ 

 butter ! All nature is alive, and seems to be gath- 

 ering her entomological hosts to eat you up as 

 you are standing, out of your coat, waist-coat, 

 and breeches. Such are the tropics. All this 

 reconciles us to our dews, fogs, vapour and driz- 

 zle — to our apothecaries rushing about with gar- 

 gles and tinctc.res — to our British constitutional 

 coughs, sore throats, and swelled faces Edin-

./in Hieroglyphic. — The Greeks made use of the 

 same v.ord to signify the soul as Ihcy used for a 

 IbjUterJly : evidently because a butterfly is only a 

 ' caterpillar that changes its form without dying, 

 and bears therein a similitude to the soul, which 

 ' continues to exist in its new state after the disso- 

 ; lution of the body. It was for this reason that 

 , the Greeks justly represented the soul hieroglyph- 

 i ically under the form of a buttorlly.and afterwards 

 ' proceeded to give it the very name of that insect, j ""'' engraf/ing of all lheirf,-uil !rt

John Wessell. — Sextus 4th, having a great es- 

 teem for this learned German, sent for hira, and 

 said "Son, ask of us what you will, nothing shall 

 be refused to yo\i that becomes our character to 

 bestow, and your condition to receive." " Most Ho- 

 ly Father," replied he, " I shall never be trouble- 

 some to your Holiness ; you know I never sought 

 after great things ; the only favor I have to beg 

 13, that you will permit me to take out of your Va- 

 tican Library, a Greek and a Hebrew Bible." 



" You shall have them," said Sextus; "but what 

 a simple man you are ; why do you not ask for a 

 Bishoprick ?" " Because, Holy Father, I do not 

 want one," replied Wessell.
