Il The frat OF the April showers wrapped
our City in a dismal blanket yesserdsy-not the
soft, sparkling, illumined shower, whose light
feet tinkle on the water and strike music from the
young leaves, bu, one of the earlier and duller
gales which come down heavily to the chill and
nodden earth. Yet the grass is growing while It
falls, and the trees leaving, and so those transig;
ured rains Of Spring cannot be far off.
