BENEVOLEHJE A PAST OF HSLIOIOW. .
Benevolence implies a disposition to do
good; tho love of mankind accompanied with
a desire to promote their happiness. The re-"
ligion of Christ is not a selfish, principle. It
is like its great Author, high and holy. Those
whdirabibe this ennobling and God-like prin
ciple, seek not self-aggrandizement, nor how
they may best promote their own selfish ends.
But their desires aro running out after tho
good of their felljr-mcn, who need their aid
and sympathy. Every man possesses an in- "
fluence which ho may effectually exert Over
some individual, or class of individuals. Per-
trace was of precisely the samo fraction, and charice some precious undying souls may bo

: The universally accredited theory that tho
moon is uninhabited, because she has no at
mosphere, has received from a recent discov
ry, a blow that will unsettle it at least. That
the moon as far as we havo yet boeu- able to
exftmino hor, has no atmosphere, " or at least
nono of sflicient donsity to conform to our op
tical laws, and tho demands of any animal life
known to us, is unqncstionablo. 'But this can
be positively affirmed of only one side ot our
satellite; for, as will bo remembered, although
she revolves upon her axis, iba constantly pre-

higher than the other. If therefore we suppose
that the moon has an atmosphere such as ours,
it would be of such extreme rarity on the only
side exposed to our observation that for opti
cal effoeot and animal life, it-might as well not
exist. For mountains upon the earth, none of
which are above five miles over the level of the
sea, have been . ascended to height at which
life could not be supported for any length of
time, and still mountains haye streached above
tho panting traveler. ; What, then, must be the
atmosphere at four times such an elevation?
The conclnsion seems inevitable, that, alth
ough tho hither side of the moon is uninhab
itable for want of an atmosphere, the remote
side may be perfectly adapted to animal life.
It is at least certain that the mere want of an
atmosphere perceptible to us", Is no longer con
