All Weathers Suited Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson stoutly pooh-poohed the i notion of the effect of weather on the mill'd.' '“To temperance,” he wrote, “eyery day is bright; and every hour 14‘ prqpitlous to diligence.” Johnson, however, was little given ,to analyzing the influences of nature, or any other influences, upon himself. And it may well be that this disposition on his part was in the spirit of the Stoics and in defiance of his own feelings, to which he disdained to give way. It seemed to him a sorry thing that “a being endowed with reason” should “resign his powers to the Influences of the air, and live in dependence on the weather and the wind.”—Temple Bar.
