It being fact generally conceded that every country Is we'll adapted to some par tlcular class of persons, it Is hard to illus trate the superiority of one country over another by omparlson.-Should we limit our inquiries to the probabilities of health alone, we should still be at loss how to advise every person who makes longevity a sine qua non. The Octogenerian, enjoying the bracing air, as he totters about his rnde hut on the top of the Andes or Alleghanies would hardly know how to believe that there are many score older than himself still in the enjoyment of perfect health, who have never seen any other country than the coast of the Mississippi or the Bayous of Lousi- ana, The inhabitants of the pure and pleas ant air of lia Y would scarcely credit the as serlon that the greatest longevity is found in the boggs of Ireland and amidst the cold snoWs of Russia, while the greatest average mortality is under the warm sun and balmv air of Italy.

Every constitution IS not sub Ject to pulmonary affections. Those of op- poslte temperamenls may therefore have more to lose than to gain by seeking tn Italy oi Texas. Many adventures however suppose, that this region will afford many commercial advantages not to be found in Arkansas.
