In the present age, when Education is so widely diffused, and the power of the Press so great. it is the duty of every Christian Churclito provide suitable religious reading for its adherents,-—and to kindle their zeal and encourage their hearts by holdi 2 up before them what is doing by their fellow-churchmen and fellow-christian: in other portions of God's vineyard. ‘or some years past, the want of it rriedium of communication fort ese purposes, has been deeply felt by the adherents of the Church of Scotland in Novsclcotia. While nearly every other denomination has bad either a wee y orn ruonthly periodical, advocating its interests, they have been cotti oiled to rely for iuforiiiation, as to the movements 0 their Church, upon the occasional notices which they could glean from distant or indirect sources. Events of the deepest interest to them have been taking . place, a knowledge of which there was no adequate means of diffusing, and iiiisrsprosentations have been put forth which there was no appropriate means of correcting. Influenced by these considerations, and by the urgent solicitations which have been tirade to them, a number of the friends of the Church in Halifax have resolved to commence a periodical in the beginning of the year--to beentitled " The Monthly Record ry the Church of Scotland in New Stories."

Light comes next to air and warmth, in its influence on the vigor and health of both animal and vegetable life. It is true we could live in the darlt, but it is not he - by to keep shady, even in a physical point oi view. The rays of the sun have a remarkable influence on the growth as well as the health of animals and vegetables. It is it fact that the men who work in the coal mines of Europe, are subject to peculiar forms of diseases. This can only be accounted for by their living for down in the depths oftlre earth, away from the vivifying light of day. It has been found that the domestic animals will not thrive and grow when kept in a dark place, though ever so well i'ed and cared for in other respects. It is it fact well known to medical men, that in crowded cities, the iniiabitants of houses on the north side ofa street, where nlltlie principal rooms are well lighted, stiffer muclt less from sickness than families living on the other side, circumstances being as for as can be ascertained, exactly the same. The custom of excluding light from houses by heavy thick window curtains, now so common, may preserve the furni- ttire, but does not tilwtiys preserve the Itenltlt of the inmates. This is especially the: case with regard to sleeping-i-aunts, wltich should not only be well aired, but during every fair day should have the hen- eiit of all the sunlight which the windows can admit. Who that has ever been a suflercr from dyspepsia, rheumatism, or any other of the lingering diseases of our climate, has not noticed the difference in his feelings on it dork cloudy day, and in the bright, cheering, smiling sunshine ? The efl'ect ofsuiiliglit are still more appa- rent upon the vegetable than upon the animal. VVliat at diflcreiice there is in the quality of the " pasture ash," so called, and that which grew in the deep slinde oftlte forest, not only in the form of the tree, but in the st rsngtli and texture of the wood. This dif- ference must no doubt be owing mostly to the exposure to the winds, difference cf soil, &c., but in it great measure to the influence oflight. \\'c often see vegetables stretch tipward in order to get at the light, seeming to have ll. sort of intelligence in regard to its neces- sity in the process of maturing its flower- uritl fruit The scrape or the stalk of the ilairtlelion, for instance, which supports its flowers, ifit grows where there is nothing to shade it, is seldom more than three or four inches long, but among all _tall weeds, or grass, where shaded, it will sometimes grow to the height ol'two feet in its endea- vours to avoid the over shadowing influence of its ticiglibors, and gain free access to the light.
