The True National security.

Our national greatness is engrafted upon
our religion. We boast no regal splendor. and
no titled and venerated nobility. Our glory is
not SO much in fleets, and armies, and military
and naval renown, as in those institutions
which are our palladium and adornment. Just
$, far as these are Christisns, they are both
our defence and slory. AL other progress, il
the religion OF the Bible does not stand abreast
with it, is progress in power and wickedness.
We occupy too wide space on the map of
the world already, unless we vigorously strive
to elevate our Christian character to the same
parallel with our secular advancement There
is no fear that our secular advancement will
lag behind our Christianity. 1t will be no blot
upon our escutcheon that it is radiant with
truth, and encircled with the halo of pure and
indebted religion. On the other hand, what
would cost blood and treasure to control /;
what would demand diplomatic skill, and per-
picking and doubtful negotiation to ward off |;
and what would otherwise. lay under the bur-
den of degrading and impoverishing vices, is
effected with comparative cas- by more EXTEND
ed influences Of Christianity. II we would
exalt this land in Intellect. and foster in her
generous youth habits of thought, mental dis
cipline, and honorable character; if the vir-
tues of our fathers live in our postsrity; il
the popular eleme.lt which imbues our institu-
tions is to remain our glory, and we to attain
the elevation for which God made us, we must
have more widely diff1sed Christianity -
Woulcwe be respected, and extort even from
the iron-hearted and "maii-clad nations'' the
homage due to the wise and good? Such is
the influence Of moral causes, and the pro-
cedure OF rstributive providence, that the
wisest statesman viii look for these results,
not so much to the fertility Of our gold, and
our giant energy, as TO living and invisoratea

Death Of the French Poet.
Beranger.

The Europa brings intelligence Of tn death
of the great lyric poet OF France, Pierre, Jean
Beranger, whose fame in his own country as
popular song writer, was equiv dent to that Of
Thomas Moore, in Ireland, or that Of Robert
Burns. in Scotland. Beranger was Of very
humble extraction, and owed his first introduce
tion to the literary world to Lucien Bonaparte,
brother of the great Napoleon. who aided him
both by his purse and his advise and encour-
agement. Under the Bonrbons, the republi-
can bard,s then in the zenith nf his fame, suf-
fered persecution and Imprisonment, which
only tended to make him more pupular with
the liberals, who were preparing FOR the revo-
luton of 1880. During Louis Philips reign
he refused all preferment and distinction, and
when, after the revolution Of lS4S, he was
elected member OF the House Of Representa-
tivss, he was obliged TO decline the honor on
account Of advanced age and in6rmity. He
mas been ailing for long time, and added to
his bodily sufferlngs, it is said, he also suffered
the severe privations Of poverty, being too in
dependent to accept the assistance OF his nu-
merous friends and admirers, among whom
was the Empress Eugene, who repeatedly ex-
pressed desire to relieve his distress. Ber-
anger died 1t Paris, on the 14th inst, in the
seventy-sevsnth year Of his age. Z

Philosophy OF Rain.

To understand the philosophy of this beau
tiful aud often sublime phenomenon, so often
witnessed since the creation Of the world, and
so essential to the very existence of plants and
animals, few facts derived from observation
and long train Of experiments must be remen-
berel:
1. Were the atmosphere everywhere, at all
times. Of uniform temperature, we should
never have any rain, or hail, or snow. The
water absorbed by itin evaporation from the
sea and the earth's surface, would descend in
an imperceptibie vapor, on cease to be absor-
bed by the air when it was once fully satu-
rated. SIS
2. The absorbing power Of the atmosphere,
and consequently its capacity to retain humid
ity, Is proportionately greater In warm than
cold air. 81 4a e
The air near the surface Of the earth is warm
er than it is in the region Of the clouds. The
higher we ascend from the earth, the colder
do We find the atmosphere. Hence the perpet-
ual snow on very high mountains in the hot
test climate. ~
Now, when, from coniinned evaporation, the
air is highly saturated with vapor, though
be invisible and the sky cioudless, its tempera-
ture suddenly reduced by cold currents de-
scending from above, or rushing from higher
to cooler latitude, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished, clouds are formed,
and the result is rain. Air condenses as it
cools, end, like a sponge gill with water and
compressed, pours out the water which Its
diminished capacity cannot hold. How sin
gular, yet how simple the philosophy of rain!
What but Omsiscience could have devised
such an arrangement for watering the earth

Eloquent Passage.

The following beautiful passage is from a
lecture on "The Philosophy of Life, p delivered
by Mr.. Winter, at Cambridge, Mass. Mr..
Winter is young man, not more than twenty
years Of age, and has already won high rep
utation as poet and prose writer.
sFor the greatest human intellects there is
no exemption from the common doom. Ihave
sometimes thought how sad, yet how sublime,
must have been the emotions of that man,
whose privilege it was to stand by the coffin
OF Shakespeare, and gaze on that sweet and
noble face, when death had called out all the
strange beauty which never lives then. 1t was
worth life time to have stood there one
minute-to have laid your hand on that broad
brow, and started at the cold chill; and, SO
pausing, to have called up in memory all the
magnificent creations of his genius, and wor-
shipped him there in the silence and the
