The True wife.
may lriumr

She is no true wife who sustains not her
husband in the day Of calamity, who is moi,
when the worlds great frown makes the
heart chill with anguish, his guardian angel,
growing brighter and more beautiful as mis-.
fortunes crowd around his path. Then is the
Time for testing whether the sweetness OF
temper beams only with transient light, or
like the steady glory of the morning star,
shines as brightly under The clouds Has
she then smiles just as charming? Does sbe
say " Afilichon capnoi touch our purify, and
should moi queneh our love Does she try,
by happy .ilile inventions, to lift from his sen
siive spirit the burden Of The thought?
There are wives-nay, there are beings
who, when the dark hours come, fall to repi-
ming and upbraidins-lhus adding TO outside
apxiely The narrowing scenes Of domestic
slrife-as if all the blame in the world would
make one hair white OF black, or change the
decree gone forth Such know that our dark
ness is heaven'sligh Jour trials are but steps
in golden ladder, BY which, il we ascend,
We may atlength gain thai eternal light, and
bathe forever in its fullness and beauty.

PHILOSOPHY OF RAIN.

To understand the philosophy Of that
beautiful and sublime phenomenon, so often
witnessed since the creation OF the world,
and SO essential 10 the very existence of
plants and animals. a few facts derived from
observations aud long train ofexperimenis-
must be remembered - s
/. Were The atmosphere everywhere at all
times of uniform temperature, we should
never have rain or hail, or snow. The wa
Ger absorbed ey II Ia evaporation from the
sea aud iae earIhss surface, would descend
in an itnperceptible vapor, orcease to be alb
Porbed by the aif swhen il was once fully
saiufaled.
2. The absorbing power Of The atmos-
phere, and consequently its capacity TO re-
tain humidity, is proportioraIly greater in
warmth than in cold air.
3. The ais near the surface Of the earth is
warmer than il is in the region OF the clouds.
The higher We ascend from the earth, the
coiderdo we hind the atmosphere. Hence
the perpetual snow on very high mountains
in The hottest climate.
Now, when, from continued evaporation,
the air is highly saturated with vapor, though
il be invisible aud The sky cloudless, if its
temperature is suddenly reduced, by cold
currents descending from above, or rushing
f,om higher TO a lower latitude, or by the
motion OF a saturated ain to colder latitude,
its capacity 10 retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed, and the result is rain

filled with water and compressed, pours out

EFFECTS PRODUCED BY RAIN
