Wolf Nurses in India.

Stories of wild animals that have acted the
part of nurses towards infants accidentally or
purposely exposed, are to be met with in ev-
cry part of the world, and among races of the
most wildly distinct character. 1t was IA
vorite legendry origin for great hero, the
founder of nation or an empire. The stag,
the bear, the dog, and many others hgure IN
these traditions; but of all, the wolf is the
most remarkable and the most frequent to be
met with What truth there may be IN the
old story of Romulus we shall not attempt to
decide. Some reality, however, underlles
the widest 1ctions; and We have, at this mo-

THE LITTLE NEGROBOY.

" here are the millions that have come and gone
From earth to vast eternity's long year,
Breathing little hour of restless life
Then voyaging upon common bier
Mans last plain vehicle from time and strife
And What is said Of all that endless throng.
What of their lives, their deeds, their hist'ry all
Who knows them now, who recollects their names,
Cf what or where OF them, that the pail
Has hung upon their silent, lfelesS frames
Al, al is vanity, and we that now
Glory in youthful strength and manhood's prime
Ot,iyion's common shade too soon shall find,
TO soon shall sink beneath the wave of time
Our namelesS dust wide scattered by the wind.
Thou, little boy, whose being was begun
IN n wise unlike all the world of man,
Whose breath God impaired, and who bore
In thy dark face his image, though the ban
Ofsyrant brothers granted thee more
Thou too art passed that but once trodden bourne
And death, not more thy victor than the rest,
Has sealed MS triumph on thy little brow
And quelled the untcld pangs within thy breast,
And kept with thee his never broken vow.
What if to thee transient honors came,
Ncwcalth enameled thee nor wealth bought friends
Crowded thy couch to see thee born and die
Death by equal lot doth make amends,
UI.cbaias thy soul and gives it wings to fly.
Soon we, the few that knew thee, shall no more
Repeat thy name, and soon may-hap forget,
That ere thou vast, the living, not the dead
Engage our lives, and all our minds are set
Upon what Is, and will be far ahead.
But what have others, what can we possess
R.-re than 10 thee already has been given -
Tbs prospect of unknown forgottenneSs-
The tempting giories Of purchased heaven,
Where souls are valued more and color less.
Sleep, little boy Thou hast mothers tears
Upon thy shroud, and bitter. pure and hot,
Wrun1 from her heart yet have fell
Sorrow for al abundant tears has got
Ard pours them scading from the same deep well.
Sleep-when archangel voice shall rouse the world
Thy little ear will snatch the vital sound,
While prouder heads would fam sleep for aye
And crave the sad secluSion OF the ground
Then ope thine eye to an eternal day.

There has been here, from the 9TH May Ill the

The Philosophy of Rain.

To understand the philosophy of this beauti.
lul and often sublime phenomena, 50 often wit
messed since the creation of the world, and so
essential to the very existence of plants and
animals, few facts deriAed from observation
and long train of experiments, must be re-
membered.
/. Were the atmosphere everywhere and at
all times of uniform temperature, we should
never have rain or hail, OF SNOW. The water
absorbed by it in evaporation from the sea and
the earth's surface would descend in an imper-
ceptille vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the
air when it was once fully saturated
,. The absoEDhig power of the atmosphere,
and consequently its capacity to retain humidity
is proportionably greater in warm than cold
air.
3. The air near the surface Of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region Of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth the cold
er do we indtte atmosphere. Hence the per-
petual snow on very high mountains in the
hottest climate.
Now, when from continued evaporation, the
'ir is highly saturated with vapor, thoug gh it be
invisible and the sky cloUdless, if its tempera.
ture is suddenly reduced, by cold currents de-
scending from above, or rushing iron high
er to a lower latitude or by the motion of
warm saturated air to a colder latitude its ca
pacity to retain moisture is diminished, clouds
are formed, and the result is rain. Air con-
denses as it ,oOls, and like snonge filled with
wafer and compressed, pOurs out the water
which its diminished capacity canrOt hold.
How singular vet how simple the philosophy
of rain! What but Omniseience could have
devised such an admirable arrangement for
watering the earth.

no, we found him in his laboratory, busy with
