Say Welland Do Well.
“Say wgll is good, but to do well is better;
Do well seems the spirit, say well is the let-
ter ;
Say well is goodly, and helps to please;
But to do well is godly, and gives the world
ease ; , .
Say well to silence sometimes is bound,
But do well is free on every ground.
Say well has friends—some here, and some
there,
DO well is welcome everywhere
By say well many to God’s world cleave ;
But lack of do well it Often leaves.
If say well and do well were bound in one
frame,
Then all were done, all were won, and gotten
were gain."

Your ii’cicomc paper reached me last night
after fifteen days upon the road and journey—
ing 4,500 miles over the entire breadth of this
broad continent; so you see its like her sons,
straying to distant lands. Ilow eager one is
to read its contents- How it cheers our
hearts; its' like a fountain in the desert, re-
freshes us. It seems to put new life into our
very existence. Through its medium we
learn the changes that are continually taking
place, the advertising columns gives one an
idea of the business done, for all successful
merchants will and do advertise their gonds.
Through it we see those of our old friends
that have passed away and those that have
just spread the veil of matrimony, taking
upon themselves new responsibilities, new
cares, such seems _the way of life and pro-
gress of this as well as all nations.
What if Franklin could awake from his
sleep and see the advancements that have
been made since his day. Would he not
stand as much dumbfounded over the pro-
gress that science has made over the past as
if an angel should descend from Heaven and
stand in your midst ? What would he think
of our great factories, giving employment to
millions of men; of our'reapers, over the
cradle: the steam horse, over the old-fash-
ioned Coach, and above all, the printing press
—thc power of our Nation. It is the
mightiest weapon in the hands of our coun-
try. Its news flies upon the wires with the
rapidity of thought and in a few hours
through the aid of the press and the steam
engine its news is placed before 50,000,000
readers. How wonderful do we cxclaiml
How grand has been our achievements!
Nothing dauntcd, but ever onward, has been
the watchword, and on and on has it sped
until it seems as though progress must be
barred, and the limit set beyond which man’s
energies cannot go. But no i there is no rest
to the active mind. New visions,- new
thoughts spring from his unclouded brain,
and thus do we see in every department of
science ncw_devclopmcnts being attained.
Could we have dreamed that such advance-
ments could have been made in the telescope
within so short a‘spacc of time, where there
seemed to the unaided vision not a star could
be seen; but now call the great tube to your
ald,and what will you so)? Mysteries tow-
ering above“ mysteries, clusters above clusters,
nebulae rolling around nebulae, with suns
more beautiful and clusters more fair, until
the eye sinks and wanders and dies in the
fathomlcss back-ground for iihe want of
greater strength to lengthen the ray of vis-
ion. We are marshaling together the host
and bringing under one focus the combined
forces, and who dare predict vfliat a genera-
tion hence will produce. Those hidden mys-
teries may be unlocked, those mighty avenues
may be opened. New worlds will spring be-
fore the vision, clothed with all the beauty
and splendor of heaven.
Distance seems nothing, as we hear in a
few moments from India, China, Athens and
Lendon, all combined as if they were but a
few leagues apart, and in a shorter space of
time appears the news from every part of the
civilized world in your morning papers. We
do not realize this advancement, because it
' has grown' upon us slowly and steadily; but
what would our forefathers think if they
could suddenly arise from their long sleep?
What would they think of such startling
revelations? What would they think of the
Yankee now? Would they try to conquer
him again and place him again in vas‘salage ?
The name Yankee is proverbial—the very
title will carry him safely through, and once
while traveling through Kentucky I hearda
gentleman remark “place a Yankee upon a
rock and he would get a good living.” Why?
Because they have the power and stamina
that makes up the man. They carry with
them the morals of the Puritans—they go
out upon the world with a pure heart, witha
will to conquer, and they do it, and many of
of her sons, are to-day, becoming useful citi-
zens on this Western shore, pad will be the
ones to mould and set a good example for
others, and be the trainers of the future
heroes of our Nation. '
It is hard to subdue a people that had the
pluck to make ten of Boston harbor, or the
patriotism and eloquence of aPatrick Henry,
whose very souls burned for freedom and
who were bound to have their liberty or
death. I am proud of every State and her
people, and when I read the home news, it
brings me vividly back again to my“ home.
It reminds me of her rocks and her hills and
her fertile valleys, and her little plains, with
her little rivulcts pouring down the hillside,
with her pastures, in summer, cvcr green,
with her pretty groves and forests of timber
and with her fieldsof golden grain waving
in the sunlight, and her cherry trees loaded
with its crimson fruit. ,
It brought me back to my home—but what
is home without a mother? 'Tis like a ship
in a storm without a rudder, she is at. the
mercy of the elements, the angry waves rol
around and beneath her, as if to devour her.
Noble as she seems in her st ks, she is as
helpless as an infant in its hcr’s arms.
How magnificent is that word. What power
is ttached to it. All have felt it, yet few
appreciate its influence, its love. Mother.
What does that mother control? She holds
the key that works good or evil upon society.
It lies with her what her child shall be.
What grave responsibilities does she have
within her charge. Then why will she agitate
that other question, "Woman’s Rights 1’”
Does she not already possess rights superla-
tive to man ? Is she not doing more now
for her country than he that casts his ballot
as many casts it very unwisely _or sells his
liberty for coin? Shame to such men. Do
they not value their country at anything or
are they another Arnold?
Take the mother away and the household
is broken; her influence, her love and her
affection is no longer there. Her smiling
face is no longer to be seen. The dark man-
tle, new shrouds, the scene where but a short,
time before was happiness and sunshine, now
stands the empty chair. What sad reflec-
tions sweep across the memory when we
think of the past. What power lies in that
mother’s love, and what will not a child do
for his kind mother? The little one will
run to her with its grief and care and how
quickly she soothes its little aching heart: -
and again goes off apparently happy; with its
care and trouble buried in its mother’s bosom.
Yet many not and talk as if they never had
or knew of such a person, with as much in—
difference as they would pass a stranger.
Their natures are cold. They were frozen
in the bud. and the genial sunshine of liberty
has failed to arouse within their bosoms any
love or affection. The sunshine Of their
heart is buried in their own cold notions,
and gas they advance in years it becomes
‘tered a
candid gathering th
harder, and they die as they have lived, un-
happy. As a child has been taught so will
his character. he moulded. If mothers did
their duties we would not have heard of that
sad news—the assassination of our beloved
President. No heart would have been so
of our Nation. Corruption lies at the base
of such minds, and they are diseased to
the core. 7 ~
When the mother has gone to her rest;
then her sons scatter like the autumn leaves,
only to be gathered together as the vital
spark tends its way upward to meet its Maker.
Home they have none; then how. vividly
wells up before the mind these beautiful
touching lines of John Howard Payne,
“Home, Sweet Home.” Is there not a time
in one's bosom when these home thoughts
carries him back to his boyhood days again,
when his mind is freed from care, and
thoughts roll from his pen, vividly of his
childish ways. 0ft do I wish asI sit by my
window watching the boys in their childish
sport. with their merry laugh as it rings
through the welkin, with their happy faces
all aglow, with mirth, that I could be aboy
once more, that I might mingle with them in
their sport—enjoy with them their pleasures,
and share with them their sorrows, but those
days have flown. ’Tis like a- panorama,’a
vision to be realized only in the all tantaliz-
ing imagination, and yet we borrow trouble
that never transpire. Two-thirds of our ails
are imaginary. How great is this bewitch-
ing fancy ! Where lies this provoking agency?
It haunts us in our dreams. Does it dwell in
the ocean or in the streams? We cannot see
it, neither can we fccl’it, yet we know that
it exists. Without it, and what are we like?
The brute of the field. With it, and what
are we? Aslave to our own fancy. ’Tis
this that gives the finer quality of man and
lifts him above the scum that floats around
him. We cannot get rid of it. It’s as pro-
voking as a lover engaged to two It many
times cnsnares our own happiness and fills
our own hearts with remorse. It many times
brings .him to grief and will ,cause him to
bow as humbly as the prison cell the thief.
The wild delirium of the set is but the ill
fancy of his diseased'and disordered brain.
It is no longer held within the linfits of self-
control, but like the ungovernablc horse,
cannot be brought within the bonds of sub-
jection, and we call him wild with frenzy.
His whole nature is changed—once a peace—
ful citizen, now a raving maniac, imagining
all the devils of Hades are after him. What
an awful sensation to be portrayed upon the
retinaof the imagination; that the whole
retinue armed to take him, and he stands be-
wildered, fighting his imaginary enemies.
The other day as I stood upon the steps of
the Halstead House, I saw two persons, the
exact counterpart 'Of each other, one was
nicely dressed, whose noble brow was wrin-
kled with three score years and ten and
whose heard was silvered with nature’s hoary
time, give forth the following utterance. I
vowed to my mother, said he, whed a boy,
“that no intoxicating liquor should ever pass
my lips, and I have kept it.” His whole
countenance spone the fact if he had not ut-
rd, and what called forth the re-
mark stood but a'short distance from him
another man who was his equal in years,
whose garments were torn, his face unshaven,
his hair uncombed, his hat looked as if it
had passed through the battle of Gettysburg
with his eyes swollen and red, tottering along
and hardly able to keep his balance—a mere
wreck of humanity. What a contrast be-
tween them. I cotfid not help but compare
them. Where laid the difference, it certain-
ly did not lie in their mental capacity. 1
will tell' you. One had a. kind and good
mother and the other was turned from his
doopgtau earl age, without that sweet in-
fluence—a mot er’s love, though kind in in—
fancy, yet heartless when they becomc old
enough to do for themselves. ‘
What'weeping thoughts fly before us on
such occasions. How quickly are you carried
back to a? time when that wreck of humanity
was an innocent babe, lying helpless in its
rmother’s arms. Little thinking when she in
jestiug, or at rthe time provoked, turned that
child from her door, that he would become a
drunkard—one that was the pride of her
heart. Who could disobey the wishes of a
mother, whose smiling face and kind heart,
is ever willing to forgive and forget. Will
you then scorn your mother P whose love to-
day is priceless, whose watchful eye is ever
upon you, who guards you in time of dan-
gernnd is ready to shield you from shame
or guilt. She will endure the pangs of death
if necessary to save her loved one. These
reflections passed before my memory as that
welcome sheet was. laid before me. The
home newsIlikc to hear, and through it I
get what the heart so craves. May it con-
tinue to shed its golden leaves as in the past,
and scatter the pages of wisdom throughout
our land. EDWIN Consroox.

Mr. Langtry Sold Out at Auction.
Mrs. Langtry’s downfall is due to extrav-
agance. With an income of about £1,200,
she embarked in a social current where the
lightest draft craft need at least £0,000.
Society kindly. magnified her husband’s re-
sources five-fold. and they were soon “in
the swim” with the richest. To people in
such a circle getting credit in London is as
easy as breathing. No fancy is too extrava-
gant , no price too large. The dealers strug-
gled for the privilege of becoming Mrs.
Langtry’s creditors. But, if the “Jersey
Lily” contracted expensive tastes, so did the
husband, and between them they rode the
gift-horse to an early grave. Seriously and
skillfqlly managed, the Langtry’s credit
ought to have lasted them to a good old age
and they might have died in peace with debts
of not less than £50,000 ; but it was too
much to try to crowd the £50,000 into three
or four years, and when Mrs. Langtry’s hus-
band went to America he was simply getting
from under the inevitable crash. Mr. Lang-
try’s snug little nest was soon afterward
thrown open to ’a more mixed, but a more
“it had ever known
during her regime; and, though the public
who attended the auction sale were highly
disappointed in the amount and character of
the contents of her house, they are probably
not half so disappointed as were her credi-
tors. It is reported that Mrs. Langtry will
surely appear on the stage within'a year, and
it is altogether likely that" she will nominally
assume the profession of an actress. She
will live in the same extravagance as before,
and if any one wonders how she is able to
pay her bills out of‘a mediocre actress’ earn-
iug there will be a vague story of an inex-
haustiblegold mine discovered by the bus-
band, who, very fortunately, is in America.

BROOKLYN, N. Y., Oct. 5, 1881.
Mussne. Enrrons.—-Some weeks ago there
appeared in the GAZETTE an account of the
finding of coins of different dates and aplay-
ful suggestion that they might be significant
of the nationality that settled Stamford, Ct.
The above suggestion prompts me to give to
your readers the following statement which
I find in the -History of Nathaniel Foote’s
Family, who settled in Wethcrsficld about
1630: “Previous to the installation of Rev.
Henry Smith, as the first pastor of the church
at Wethersfield, the Rev. Richard Denton,
who accompanied the first settlers, and the
Rev. Mr. Pruden labored with the people
until the former left in 1641 for fire Rippe-
wams, and the latter joined his own church
at Milford. During this period, unhappy
contentions sprang up in the church and con-
gregration, which the advice Of the ministers
at Stratford and Windsor failed to soothe and
settle, nor did Mr. Davenport and a delega-
tion of the brethren from New Haven suc-
ceed any better. Failing in the main object
of his visit, Mr. Davenport advised that one
of the parties should retire and make a new
settlement. Although his advicz was not
immediately followed by either of the parties,
the disputes were partially ended by the with-
drawal of a number Of the principal inhabi-
tants who coincided with Mr. Davenport and
his views, and by the purchase of Rippowam
(now Stamford) of.New Haven, on the 30th
of October, 1640. I find the following vote
in relation to the purchase, on the records of
the town of Stamford. It was passed in
Town Meeting in 1641, and it was one of the
first acts of the town:
“Whereas, the purchase of this'plaec and
vicinity of it, was first done by our friends
of New Haven, and we stand indebted to
them for it, It is ordered, That one thousand
bushels of corn at three shillings a bushel,
be paid toward it; when raised, and sent them
as follows:

Besides these there were nine other persons
with their respective proportions, included in
the vote, but the record is so worn by use
that I. cannot satisfactorily decipher their
names. The principal settlers were Rev. Mr.
Denton, Matthew Mitchel, Richard Law,
Andrew Ward, Richard Gilderslceve and
Robbird Coo. The removal of these individ-
uals, though it curbed’thc turbulance of the
times, for a season, and prepared the way for
the settlement of the Rev. Henry Smith as
the first pastor of the Church and people, yet
it did not restore peace and harmony among
them.” ' S. M.'MAIN.

They were recognizable at a glance as the
cormorants of the Nation. They had their
pockets full of recommendations from this
Senator and that, and how they importuned
a man for his autograph. Some even asked
me for mine. I have no doubt that there
was a man named Guiteau among them.
They thronged the reception room at the
White House, but I worked my way through
them, and in a few minutes my card went in
to the President. There were postmasters,
and consuls, and foreign ministers in embryo,
and they followed me to the very door of
the President’s room. Every one of them
wanted something. I think the President
saw that I wanted nothingfor he received me
very cordially and pleasantly, and shook the
little-boy who was with me by the hand.
See now the evidence of. his domestic nature;
the very first question he asked, me gazingat
the little fellow whose hand he held, was
how many children I had. He looked unlike
any picture of him I have ever' seen. His
face was very sad; it was, indeed, the most
critical day of his administration; the day in'
which by nominating a'Ncw York collector,
he was to sever so many friendships. There
was in his face a refinement, a womanly del-
icacy, a gentleness of expression that no pho.
tographer has ever caught. He looked likes
generous man, a kindly man, a self-reliant
man, a patient man,'a cpnrageous mau—
more than all a Christian man. I don't won-

Garfield.
We have often dwelt upon the main feat-
ures of Garfield’s biography, but there is so
much cf genuine manliness and encourage-
ment in it, that the people never tire of the
story. The turning points in his life are ir-
resistibly recalled today. We first think of
him as a baby, fifty years ago, in that
Cuyahoga county log-cabin where he was
born. The date was 19th, November, 1831.
He was the youngest of four children. His
father was poor, even for that place and time.

work, work. As soon as he was old enough
to handle an axe or hoe, he was put to work
upon the farm, and his early education was
picked up in a little school, where he learned
to read, write and cipher in the intervals of
his labor. His first regular wages were
earned by working in a potash factory
owned by a neighbor. At seventeen be ob-
tained a job at wood-cutting near the Lake
Erie shore, and the sight of the water in-
spired him with a desire to be a sailor. He

life in order that he might become of Some

make a man of himself. His mother gave
one term of school. _In the summer he
worked ,for day wages in the hay and barn:
est fields, and helped to build a farnnhouse
for his mother. Returning to the academy,
in the fall, he boarded himself at a cost of
31 cents per week, but, finding the fare
hardly good enough for health, increased his
expenses to 50 cents per week. He taught
school in _the winter, and the next spring
went back to the academy and sumorted
himself by working for a carpenter mornings
and evenings and Saturdays.

The statement variously published to the
effect that the post mortem examination
showed that the bullett which killed the Pres-
ident went up at a sharp angle after entering
1 his body; and that it was found near the heart
are wholly misleading. The official bulletin
of the autopsy, states directly that the ball
lodged “just below the pancreas." Now the '
pancreas isa gland of irregular shape—the
same that in animals is called the sweetbread
—which lies dhep in the abdomen, below
and behind the stomach. and against the
back-bone. As the bail lay below the pan-
creas, it was nowhere near the heart. It
did not pierce the peritoneum, which is the
membrane that lines the abdomen and envel-
‘opes the viscera; but was back of it. The ball
struck the eleventh rib (which is the lowest
rib but one) fractured it, and was then dc-,
.flected downwards and crosswise :cf the: .
body. It entered to the right of the spine. It '
was found two and shelf inches to the left of
the spine, having'in its passage struck and
fractured the “first lumbar vertebra,” which
,is the first joint of the back-bone below the .
ribs. With such an injury, it is quite likely
that if Mr. Garfield had lived, it would have
been as a cripple and permanent invalid—
and this probability, it is stated, has tended
to reconcile Mrs. Garfield in a measure to the

Just as the citizens of New York and,
Brooklyn were beginning to cherish-a faint
hope of the early completion of the East '
River Bridge the announcement is made that
1,000 additional tons of steel are needed to
strengthen the structure so that heavy rail.
road cars may be run over it with safety.
Although this will involve an expense of
$100,000 beyond the specifications of the
contract, the trustees of the bridge offer no
explanation, contenting themselves with the
statement that the additional steel is required
and that the completion of the work .will be
delayed some six months at least. Nor do
they state why they propose to go beyond
the funds in hand by nearly $50,000. It
seems by the last monthly report that the
receipts from various sources amount to $13,-
224,11899, while the cash expenditures foot
up to $3,166,792.44, leaving a balance on
hand of $57,386.56. If the original terms
of the contract had been complied with' the
bridge would have been completed the first
of next year and there would have been a
neat surplus in the treasury. Now there
will be a deficit and the beginning of traffic

Apart from the terrible suffering caused by
the recent forest fires ‘in Michigan, there is
another phase of the disaster which from a .
commercial standpoint deserves attention.
The pine forests of the Northwest are rapidly
disappearing and these fires contribute quite
a large share to their extinction. There are
only four states left of the twenty-six that
comprise. the New England, Middle, Western
and Northwestern States to the Rocky Moun-
tains that have a surplus of timber—Maine, .
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota—and of
these four only the latter three haves surplus
of white pine. Minnesota has already pretty
cats; in fact she has only some 5,500,000,000
feet more to spare, at least so the Northwes-
tern Lumberman estimates. Wisconsin is
still said to have 38,000,000,000 feet and
Michigan 30,000,000,000. When the im-
mense annual consumption of timber is con-
sidered, it will be seen that unless these fre-
quently recurring forest fires are in some
way put an end to, the time will comc'thn
serious embarrassment will be caused by
them to the country at large.-

AFTER THE BURIAL.
BY OLIVER WENDELI: HOLMES.
1
Fallen with autumn’s falling leaf
Ere yet his summer’s'noon was past, -
Our friend, our guide, our trusted chief—
What words can match a wee so vast.
And whose the charter claim to speak ‘
The sacred grief where all have part.
When sorrow saddens every check
And broods in every aching h‘cart P
YetrNaturc prompts the burning phrase
That thrills the hushed and shrouded hall,
The loud lament, the sorrowing'praise,
The Silent tear that love lets fall.
In lofliest-verse, in lowliest rhyme,
Shall strive unblamed the minstrcl choir ;-
The singers of the new-born time
And trembling age with outworn lyre.
No room for pride, no place for blame ;
We fling our blossoms on the grave
Pale, scentless, faded—all we claim,
This only: what we had we gave.
Ah, could the grief of all whomourn
Blend in one voice its bitter cry,
The wail to heaven’s high arches borne
Would echo through the caverned sky.
x1
0 happiest land whose peaceful choice
Fills with a breath its empty throne !
God, speaking through thy people’s voice,‘
Has made that voice for once his own.
No angry passion shakes the State
Whose weary servant seeks for rest,—
And who could fear that scowling hate
Would strike at that unguarded breast?
He stands; unconscious of his dcom,-
In manly strength, erect, serene,—
Around him summer spreads her bloom,
He falls,—what horror clothes the scene!
How swift the sudden flash of woe
Where all was bright as Childhood’s dream i
As if from heaven’s ethereal bow
Had loaded the lightniug’s arrowy gleam.
Blot the foul deed from history’s page-
Let not the ail-betraying sun
Blush for the day that stains an age
When murder’s blackest wreath was won.
III.
Pale On his couch the sufferer lies,
The weary battle ground of pain;
Love tcpds his pillow, science tries
Her very art, alas! in vain.
The strife endures how long! how long!
Life, death, seemed balanced in the scale.
While round his bed a viewlesss throng
Await each mormw’sehanging tale.
In realms the desert ocean parts 0 ‘
What myriads watch with tear-filled eyes,
His pulse-beats echoing in their hearts,
His breathings counted with their sighs!
Slowly the stores of life are spent,
Yet hope still battles with despair,—
Wiil Heaven not yield when knees are bent?
Answer, 9 thou tha’t hearest prayer!
But silent is the brazen sky,—
' 0a s‘weepsjthc meteor’s threatening train—
Unswerving Nature's mute reply,
Bound in her ada mantine chain.
Not 0an the verd' t to decide
Whom death sh claim or skill 'shall save;
The hero’s life though Heaven denied
It gave our. land a martyr’s grave.
’NOr count thc'tenching vainly sent
How human hearts their griefs may share—
The lesson woman’s love has lent
,What hope may do, what faith can bear!
FareWL-li! the leaf-strewn earth enfolds
Our stay, our pride, our hopes, our fears,
_And autumn’s golden sun'beholds
A nation bowed, a world in tears:
The Modern hIartyrr.
BY A COUNTRY PASTOR.
Across the brook, and half way up the hill,
A cottage stands so desolate and still,
The peddler views it with a blank dismay,
And gathering up his pack moves on his way.
There, in a room, not living and not dead,
Lies Robert Moyle stretched upon a narrow '
bed, .
One of God’s saints, uncanonized; the grace
Of patience shedding luster o’er a face
That pain has marked with many a rugged
line, ; '
And twisted out of shape, but left divine.
His sky is lath and plaster, dark not clear,
But gathering deeper shadows every year;
His stars are spots that here and there shine
down
Whitewash for light, but these are turning
brown.
One plant set in the window of his room
Makes his scant share of summer’s wealth
of bloom; ‘
Four cheerless walls, bare, mutilated, grim,
Is all the universe appears to him; '
Gaunt poverty and haggard pain abide
Unbidden and relentless at his side,
For twenty years have passed since his fond
wife '
Found him amidst the woods and maimed
for life. , V
The tree at whose firm base he toiled so
well '
Swerved in its course, and felled him as it
fell.
But with the bitter grief rose in his mind
The faith that God was infinitely kind,
And so be conquered doubt, and fought des«
. pair. .
And sunned his heart with hope sustained by
prayer; .
Locked in the face of death, and felt no
dread '
Although a grave lay underneath his bed. .
The pas cunts his room a sacred place,
And him a proof of God’s sustaining grace.
Ah, not alone in ancient time whs-tried
.Man’s faith in God; men still are crucified;
And at affiiction’s dreadful stake to day
The martyrs stand and waste away,
Sharing the smile of God and Heaven's ac-
claim - ’
Wit-hthose who died for Jesus in the flame. -
Some mount to rest as if on wings of light;
Some, step by step. grope through a starless
night . '
- O
Up era gy steps, and weep and bleed and
pray,
Nor know if God be near or far away,
But meekly bow to His all-holy will,
And in the darkness lava and trust Him still.
These be the heroes for whose victories won
No cities flame or sent-ties cry, Well done i "
But in that world where worth is always
fame
Divinest honors shall surround each name.

BEFORE THE RAIN.
T. B. ALDRICH.
We knew it would rain, for all the morn
A :-p':rit on slender ropes of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down
into the vapory amethyst.
Of marshes, and swamps, and dismal fcns—.
Sccoping the dew that lay in the flowers,
Dipping the jewels out of the sea,
. TO sprinkle tin-m over the land of showers.
We hrew it would rain, for Lint. poplars
showed V
The white of tin u haves, tin Hi l-el‘ grain
Shrurk in thi- winch—and theiliglaning now
1 Is tangled in trtmendous circles of rain.
