How Rain Is Formed.

To understand the philosophy of
this phenomenon, essential to the
very existence ofplants and animals,
few facts, derived from observation
and IL long train of experiments,
must be remembered. Were the at
mosphere, 1T all times, at uniform
temperature, we should never have
rain, hail or snow. The water all
sorbed 10y tin evaporation from the
sea and the earth's surface would de-
scend in an imperceptible vapor, or
cease to be absorbed by the air when
it was fully saturated. The absorb
ing power of the atmosphere, and
consequently its capability to retain
humidity, is proportionably greater
In cold than in warm air. 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 we find the at
mosphere. Hence the perpetual snow
on every high mountain in the very
hottest climates. Now, when, from
evaporation, the air Is highly saturat-
ed with vapor-though it be invisible
if its temperature Is suddenly re-
duced by cold currents descending
from above, or rushing from higher
to lower latitude, its capacity to re-
tain moisture is.diminished, clouds are
formed, and the result Is rain. Air
condenses rs it cools, and like u
sponge filled with water which its di-
minished capacity cannot hold. How
singular, yet how simple is the ar
rangement for watering the earth.

Death and the Grave.

" I am hungry" said the grave.
"Give food"
Death answered
I" will send forth q minister of aw-
full destruction, and you will be satis-
tied.n
"What minister will you send ?"
81 will send alcohol. He shall go
in the guise of food and medicine,
pleasure and hospitality. The people
shall drink and die"
And the grave answered:
I" am content"
And now the church bells began to
toll, and the mournful procession to
advance.
"Who are they bringing now ?"
said the Grave. "Ah," said Death
they are bringing "a household. The
drunken father aimed blow at his
wife. He killed the mother and her
child together, and then dashed out
his own life."
"And w. o." said the grave, "comes
next, followed by train of weeping
children?o
"This Is n heart broken women,
who has long pined away in want,
while her husband has wasted his
substance at the tavern. And he,
too, is borne behind, killed by the
hand of violence"
And who next
"a young man Of generous impul-
ses, who, step by step, became dissi-
pated and squandered his all. My
agent turned him out to be frozen in
the street,
HUSH" said the Grave; "now
hear u wall of anguish that will not
be silenced."
"Yes, it is the Widows cry. 1t Is
the only son OF his mother. He
spurned her love, reviled her warn
ing, and bloated corpse he comes to
thee. And thus they come-further
than the eye can reach, the process
ZION crowds to thy dark abodes. And
still, lured by the enchanting cup
which l have mingled, the sons OF
men crowd the paths OF dissipation.
Nainly they dream OF escape, hut |
shut behind them the invisible door
of destiny. They know 1t not, and
with song and dance and riot, they
hasten to thee, o Grave! Then ]
throw my fatal spell upon new
throngs Of youth, and soon they, too,
will be with thee"

ering If some mad Indian was not

ering IL some mad Indian was not
prowling about. By this time John
was within n few rods of the barn,
still running at the top of his speed,
his head turned so that he could keep
one eye on the snake, and with the
other observe what course he must
take. The friendly BARR concealed
him from the sight of the girls. He
knew that they were In the yard,
having seen them as they rushed from
the house. a few more bounds and
he would be in their midst. For u
moment modesty overcame fear, and
he once more halted. The snake, evil
IDENTIFY pleased with his rapid trans
portation manifested his gratitude by
attempting to enfold the legs of our
hero within his embrace.
With an explosive "Ouch !" and
urged forward by circumstances
over which he had no conlro,," poor
John bounded on. The next moment
I've was in full view of the girls and
as he turned the corner of the barn,
the snake came round with whiz
something after the fashion of u
coach whip.
Having reached the barn-yard, to
his dismay lie found the bars up, but
time was too precious to he wasted
letting down bars. Gathering all his
strength, he bounded into the air
snake ditto-and as he alighted on
the other side, his snaleship's tn il
cracked across the upper bar, snap
ping like an India cracker.
| Again John set forward, now utter
ly regardless of the presence of girls,
for the extra tick of the snakes tail
as he leaped the bars, banished all his
bashfulness and modesty, and again
he had the pleasure of finding the
snake in straight line, drawing
steadily at the hem of his solitary
garment.
| The house now became the center
of attraction, and around it lie re-
volved with the speed of thought.
-Four times in each revolution as he
turned the corner, his snakeship come
around with whiz which was quite
refreshing.
While describing the third circle,
as he came near the group of wonder
struck girls, without removing his
gaze from the snake, he managed to
cry out:
! "CAIL A MAN."
The next moment he whisked out
Of sight, and, as quick as thought
reappeared on the other side of the
house.
I "CALL A MAN."
And away he whirled again, turn
ing the corner so rapidly that the
whiZ of the snake sounded half way
between IA whistle and the repeated
pronunciation of II pouhle-e.
\ Before either Of tile girls had stirred
from their tracks, he had performed
another revolution
"CALL a MAN"
II Away he dew hut his strength was
rapidly failing. Nancy Clark was
the first to recover her presence q
mind, and seizing hoop-pole, she
took her station near the corner O
house, and as John reappeared, she
brought it down upon the snake will
force that broke his back and his hole
upon Johns neither garment ut thu
! same time.
John rushed into the house and tC
his room, and at tea time appeared IL
his best Sunday suit, and to all ap
, pearence cured of baslifulness. Tha,
night he walked home with Nancy
} Clark. The New Year, they wer,
married, and now, when John feel!
inclined to laugh Mt his wife's hoop
or any other popularity, she has only
to say, "Call man." when he IN
stanly sobers down.

Newspaper Patronage.

There seems to be great many dif.

standing the phrases newspaper pat

y correct definition of the same, we
give the following disquisition on the

be able to "see themselves rs others

Nare Debtors.

The following from the Liverpool
Mail, discloses an important fact, and
no person can deny that this new test
of willingness in debtors to pay Is
based upon common sense.
We were not aware until recently
that many newspaper publishers are
consulted, to large extent, by people
In order to ascertain the peculiar
standing of persons. Debts for news
papers become due once year, and
persons who pay up regularly once n
year for their paper, are considered
prompt men and worthy of conf
dence. We had u person come into
our office the other day and say:
DO you send your paper TO Mr..
NJ" We replied that we did.
WELL said the man, he owes me
So, and | can't get it. / don't think
he's good
We looked secretly at his account,
and found him paid up. We then re-
piled to the enquirer:
That man Is good. Your debt is
safe. He may have forgotten 1t, or
something else may have prevented
his paying, but he Is good.'
The mans eyes frightened. He
said:
/ have written to several printers,
and could not find where he took u
paper; / thought of you and said /
would come here
This is the way to find out whether
people are good. We ascertain what
papers they take, and contrive some
way to peep into their accounts,
Men who are good are very sure ia
pay for their newspapers; and If they
don't pay for these, we don't think
them good. We were forcibly struck
by the idea.
We'll, said he, Il will send my bill
by the post
In few days the person came in
again. Said he, Il sent my bill.'
We'll, did he pay you"
Yes, sir and opening his hant
he showed us the draft. There,
said he, give me printers boob
after all, to tell whether man,
good, there's n complete thermome
ter; we always know u man to b,
bad If lie don't pay the printer

HYDRoPHoBIA.-Dr. Nathan II.
Smith gives In the Baltimore Sun
some valuable hints. A deep wound
is less dangerous than n scratch, be-
cause of the eifusion of blood, which
washes away the poison. The virus
produces no immediate irritation,
but develops the disease commonly
in about six weeks. For prevention
of this fatal issue, let the wound he
instantly washed again and again
with soap and water. Then apply a
pencil OF caustic potash, holding Ii
firmly In the bite fifteen seconds,
without regard to the severe pain =
IL the potash connot he Immediately
obtained, it can he extemporized by
boiling down the ley Of wood ashes
Ia the consistency OF molasses and
applying that with stick. Milder
caustics are not reliable, though di-
luted nitric or sulphuric acid may be
used. After the caustic, the wound
may be poulticed for two days, and
then dressed with simple salve. This
treatment, the Doctor thinks, will
always prevent the dread disease,
