VIM. II. RUSSELL L. L. d., correspondent Of
the London Times, who was run out of the East

We have nary little chap,
About our cottage home
But our neighbors have them plenty,
And we love to see them come
With their chubby dirty faces,
And their swapping little eyes:
With their fingers in their mouths,
While they ask for cakes and pies.
We love 10 hear their stories,
While the others are at play:
Cstho beauses they have had
In their own childish way.
We low to hear their funny ways,
Their frollicklng and glee;
And their merry ringing laughter,
So changeable and free.
We love them for their innocence
Their happiness and mirth;
The very soul Of pleasure,
As we wander DER the earth.
They love us for our jolly-cqke',
Our pretty pinks, and rosics:
The former for their appetites
The latter for their noses.
So, between our neighbors children;
And our little beds Of flowers,
We are passing very pleasantly,

How RAIN Is FoRMED--To understand
the philosophy Of this beautiful and often
sublime phenomenon. so often Witnessed
since the creation, and essential to The
very existence of animals, few facts de-
rived from observations and long train
of experiments must bo observed:
|. Were the atmosphere, everywhere,
at all times, at uniform temperature,
we would never have rain, or hail, or
snow. The water absorbed Jy its eyapo-
ration from the sea and the eawh's sus-
face. would descend in an impercep:ibIc
vapor or cease to lie absorbed by the all
when once fully saturated.
>. The absorbing power Of the atmos-
phere, and consequently its capablIty 10
retain humidity, Is proportlonally greater
in warm than in cold weather.

is warmer than in theregion Of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth, the
colder do Ne find the atmo-phere. Hence

tains in the hottest climates. Now, when
from continual evaporation the air is high :
y saturated with vapor, though II be in
visible. and the sky cloudless, if its tenn
perature is suddenly reduced by cold cur
rents Of air rushing from a higher to a
lower latitude, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished. clouds are formed,
and the result is rain. Air condenses as
it cools, aud like q sponge filled with wa
ter and compressed, pours out the water
which its diminished capacity cannot con-
tain.
