How RAIN IS FoRMED.-To un-

nomenon, essential to the very exist
cncc Of plants and animals, few facts
derived from observation and long
train of experiments, must be remem-
bered. Were atmosphere everywhere,
Mt all times, uniform temperature,
we should never have rain, hail, or
snow, The moisture absorbed by it
in evaporation from the sea and the
earth's surface would descend in an inn
pcrceptble yapor, Or cause to be abb
sorbed by the air when it was once full
saturated. The absorbing power of
the atmosphere, and consequently its
capahility to retain humidity, is proper
tionably greater in cold than warm air.
The air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region Of the
clouds. The higher we ascend from
the earth the colder we find the atmos-
pbere) Hence, the perpetual snow on
every high mountain in the hottest eli
mates. Now, when from evaporation
the air is highly saturated with vapor,
though it be invisible, if temperature is
suddenly reduced by cold currants de-
scending from above, or rushing from

ity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed and theIesult is rain.

FIRST FAILURES. Yes, indeed, If
we have the right stuff in us these
failures at the outset are grand mater-
ia.s for success. TO the feeble they
are, Of course, stumbling blocks. The
wrctched weakling goes on farther;
he lags behind, and subsidies into life
Of failure. And 50 by this winnowing
process the number of the athletes in
the great 0lympics Of life is restricted
TO a few, and there is clear space in the
arena. There is scarcely an old man
among us-an old and successful man
who will not willingly admit that he
was made by his failures, and that
what he once thought his hard fate was
in reality his good fortune. And thou,
my brightfaccd, bright-witted child,
thou thinkest that thou canst carry
Parnassus by storm, learn to possess
thyself in patience. Not easy the les
son, know; not cheering the knowledge
that success is not attainable, per
saltum, by hop, step, and a jump,
but by arduous passages of gallant
perseverance, toilsome efforts long sus
tainel, and, most of all, by repeated
failures. Hard, | know, is that last
word, grating harshly upon the ear
Of youth. Say, then, that we mollify
it a little that we strip it of its outer
crustaceousness and asperity; and
truthfully may we do SO, my dear.
For these failures are, as | have said,
but stepping stones TO success; gradus
al Parnassum-at the worst, non-at-
tainments of the desired end before
thy time. If success were to crown
thine efforts now, where would be the
great success of the hereafter? 1t is
the brave resolution to edo better next
time that lays the substrate of all real
greatness. Many Il promising reputa-
tion has been prematurely destroyed
by early success. Then good sap runs
out from the trunk into feeble oiishoots
or suckers. The hard discipline of
the knife is wanted. repeat that it is
not pleasant; but when thou feelest
the sharpness Of the edge, think that
all who have gone before thee have
been lacerated in like manner. -Es-

CucIcE TREAsUREs.--Those who
live quiet, retired lives suffer least. In
the changes Of a busting, rowing life
the heart which clings to loved
friends must often suffer the pangs of
separation, and nothing can dispel the
sad longings to be with them again,
until new friends cluster around TO
partially dispel old memories, and just
as the heart is rejoicing in new friend
ships, there comes again the shaking of
the hands, parting kiss and fearful
farewell.
They are happiest who have few
treasures, and those always with them.

ROB EaY WITH TRAINED PGI ON j.

ROB Ely WITH TRAINED PIGroN .
"A new species of robbery has of late
been perpetrated in New York by
gang of young boys, aided by pigeon.
The modus operandi of two thieves
was really very clever They first
threw their trained pigeon over the
fence or wall into the rear yard of the
house they proposed robbing, and then
two of them went to the front basement
door. They asked leave of the servant
TO catch their pigeon. which had flown
into the rear yard of tie house. The
request, to all seeming intent proper
one, was invariably granted, and one
went into the yard, While he was en-
deavoring to catch the pigeon, and at
tracing the attention of all in the house
to the rear yard, the other thief glided
into the front basement with bag and
scooped in all the silverware and val
liable property he could lay hands on,
and then promptly skedaddled. Sufi-
cient time having elapsed, the trained
pigeon was at once caught, and the sec-
ond thief left. The silvcrwarc was
then found to be stolen. Qnitea num-
Der of mansions in the Fifth avenue
have in this way been despoiled. Sew
eral boys, ranging from fourteen to
twenty years of age. have been arrested
for this ingenious and novel mode of
criminal industry.

X r,,r N,eur-Thore comes unto

IS TIE NiGnT-There comes unto
all of us feeling of loneliness;a shadow
like the night comes across the thresh-
hold, unbidder, aud sits an unwelcome
guest at our sides, and repeats sad sto-
rics of the past which we had hoped
we're lost and forgotten, which lifts the
curtain of the future and'paints gloom
and sorrow on the hours yet to come.
The heart strings, swept by unclean
hands, give out a song linked with
grefs and cares, and the sunlight flees
from its echoes, and leaves us in a
trance. Like Schillcr's Robber, we
realize that the world is still grand,
and yet like him we feel that we are
miserable in all the outstretched sub
Unity of creation. We feel then our
unworthiness, and as we strive in vain
to be men and women in the likeness
of our Creator, we grow less and less,
until we fall 50 far below the angels
that we lose sight of them, and fail to
catch, as we have often done before,
the very rustic of their piumage. The
songs We had heard in other days come
back, and faces we Lowell spring up and
smile upon us, but all before us, those
around us, look blank and we feel alone
in the grandest work of the Master.
Whence the cause of this night upon
the soul we know not, but it comes to
all of us at some time. Thank God
for it, for it makes the sunlight more
blessed when it does come. 1t makes
the flowers bloom with beauty We
knew not of before; it strikes the heart
chords with gentler touch, and gives q
music as we dream of in our sleep
when we dream Of Heaven.

MoTuER.-AroUnd the idea of ones
mother the mind of man clings with
fond affection. 1t is the first dear
thought stamped upon our infant
hearts, when yet soft and capable ofre.
ceiving the most profound impression.
Our passions and willfulness may lead
us far from the object of flial love; we
may become wild, headstrong and ang-
ry at her counsels or oppositions; but
when death has stilled her monitory
voice, and nothing but calm memory
remains to recapitulate her virtues and
good deeds, affection, ike a flower beat
en- to the ground by rude storm,
raises up her head and smiles even
amid her tears. Around that idea, as
we have said, The mind clings with fond
affection; and even when the earliest
period of our loss forces memory to be
silent, fancy takes the place Of remew-
brancc, and twines the image Of our
departed parent with a garland of gra-
ces and beauties and virtues which we
doubt not that she possessed.

with their knitting and sewing into the
dram-shops of the place, and spent the

politely upon various topics. Hus-

result was that every shop in the place

ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.

The evening before the battle of
ulm, when Napoleon the First, in com
pany with Marshal Berthier, was walk
ing incogniteo through the camp and
listening to the talk of his soldiers, he
saw in a group not far off, a grenadier
of the Guard, who was roasting some
potatoes in the ashes.
81 should like a roast potatoe above
all things" said the Emperor to the
Marshal task the owner if he will
sell one"
In obedience TO the order, Berthier
advanced to the group and asked to
whom the potatoes belonged. a gren
adler stepped forward and said.
"rhey are nine
"Will you sell me one?'
81 have only five, and that's hardly
enough for my supper
81 will give you two Napoleons if
you viii sell me one"
81 don't want your gold; | shall be
killed, perhaps, to morrow, and don't
want the enemy to find me with an
empty stomach"
Berthier reported the soldiers ans
wer to the Emperor, who was standing
little in the back ground.
'Let's see if | shall be luckier than
you" said the latter, and going up close
TO the grenadier, he asked him ii he
would sell him one of his potatoes.
''Not by long shot," answered the
grcnadier; 81 haven't enough for my,
self"
"But you may set your own price.
Gomez am hungry and haven't eaten
to-day"
81 tell you haven't enough for
myself-besides all that, do you think
don't know you in spite Of ali your
disguise?'
"Who am |, them"
"Bah the little corporal, as they
call him; am | right?p
"Well, since you know, will you sell
me a potato?"
mo; but if you would have me
come Ind dine with you, when we get
back, to Paris, you may sup with me
tonight"
"Done!l' said Napoleon. "On the
word of an Emperor"
"Well and good. Our potatoes
ought to be done by this time; there
are the two largest ones, the rest I'll
eat myself"
The Emperor sat down to his pota-
toes, and returned with Bcrthier TO his
tent, merely remarking.
"The rogue is good soldier, III
warrant"
Two months afterwards, Napoleon
the Great was in the midst of brilliant
court at the palace of the Tuilleres,
and was just sitting down to dine,
when word was brought him that a
grenadier was without, trying to force
the guard at the door, saying that he
had been invited by the Emperor

and said to the Emperor

TUE Moss ROSE. sE.-Krummacher
illustrates simplicity by the following
beautiful fable:
The angel who takes care of the
flowers and sprinkles upon them dew
in the still night, slumbered on a spring
day in the shade of a rose bush.
When he awoke he said:
"Most beautiful of my children, |
thank thee for thy refreshing odor and
oling shade. Could you now ask
any favor, how willingly would |
grant it!"
"Adorn me then with n new charm, F"
said tho spirit of the rose bush, in a
beseeehing tone.
SO the angel adorned the loveliest
of flowers with simple moss, Sweeily
it stood there in its modest attire,
the moss rose the most beautiful of its
kind.
So the eoitliest ornaments are often
the simplest There is no gold nor
jewel, nor sparkling pearl, equal to the
ornaments of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is, in the sight Of God, of great
price,"
