Selett STORY,
IN AN OMNIBUS.

On a cold, wet evening in the
month of December, not many years
ago, the streets of Endon were still
thronged with passers by, hurrying to
and iro through the pouring rain
The gaslights III the shop windows and
street lamps shone brightly in the
flooded pavement, giving a brilliancy
TO the crowded i horoughfares III spite
of the dreary weather.
At the corner of Charing Gro s. near
the postoffice, stond one of the more
respectable looking omnibuses that
ply between London and the distant
suburbs
The driver and conductor were Ell
cased in oil-skin wrappers-the horses
as sleek as satin with the rain running
off them--tbe vehicle and its attend
ants were made up for the journey,
which promised to be unusually I'M.
comfortable. Time up?' asked the
driver gruffiy of a man standing be
Meath the portico of the postoffice. -
"-Another two minutes" replied the
time keeper, looking at his watch.
- During the short colloquy two pas
sengers took their places in the ON
nihuS-nne a well dressed man, who
growled audibly to himself about the
weather; the other widow in deep
mourning. As the latter raised a
thick Grape veil she displayed set OF
features that attracted :he attention
of her feliow-traveler, and stopped his
gro wiling. .-
AT the foot of Westminster Bridge
two shabbily attired women hailed
the conductor, and the omnibus was
drawn up to the pavement to receive
them. They made much confusion i'll
getting in, and complained Of there
being no lamp inside, talking loudly.
The journey continued. and then talk
ing gradually ceased.
The rain must surely inconveni
euce you,' said the first passenger, re
suming his attack upon the widow,
will you change places with me?'-
He leant forward and endeavored to
persuade her to do as he suggested
The offer was politely declined. 4

piled the little black figure. Some
ten minutes passed Weafily away,
when one of the two last comers
showed signs ofuneasiness. She rose
and Sought something on the floor
and upon the seat. She touched the
black figure roughly.
You are annoying that lady, said
the man. What have you lost p
The woman continued her search.
She emptied her pockets, bringing
forth miscellaneous collection of cop
pers, keys, old gloves, and othe,
things; her anxiety Increased every
moment.

claimed. Her friend tried to paoify
her in vain.

tone, Conductor, my watch has beer
stolen, and these people have got IL

How Rain is Formed.

To understand the philosophy OF
this phenomenon, nssential to the very
existence Of vegetable and animal life,
few facts derived from experience
and long train of experiments, must
be remembered. Was the atmosphere
everywhere, at all times, at a uniform
temperature, we should never have
rain, hail or snow. The water ab-
sorbed by it in evaporation from the
SEA and the earth's surfaco would de-
seend in an ,imperceptible vapor, or
cease to be absorbed by the air, when
it WAS once fully saturated. The ah-
sorbing power Of the atmosphere, and
consequently its capaiilily to retain
humidity is proportionably greater in
cold than in warm air The air near
the surface of the earth Is warmer
than it is near the region of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth
the colder we find the atmosphere
Hence the perpetual snow on every
high mountain in the very hottest eli
mates. Now when, from evaporation
the air is highly satuta ted with vaper,
though it be invisible. i! its ,empera-
ture is suddenly reduced hy cod cur.
ients descending from above, or rush.
ing from higher to lower latitude,
its capacity to retain moisture is di-
minished, clouds are formed, and the
result is rain. Air .condenses as it

The Unfinished Mystery.

Out of the wild commotion,
Out of the swaying ocean,
Out of the crowded mart,
Forth from life's turbid history,
No more to taste its illness,
Into the Abbey's stiffness,
Into deaths wondrous mystery,
See him depart.
Now DER the land are sweeping,
Out of the dark places creeping,
Faint sounds Of woe,
Breaking their heightened slumbers;
Up from the city's riot,
Up from The country's quiet,
Swelling in strength and numbers
Trooping they flow.
Forming in sad procession,
Owning in mute confession
