OUR TWO ACQU AINTANCES.
It happened few weeks aro that we fell
in with an old acquaintance. He has bee"
absent from our vicinity Cor several wears but
was induced by favorable circumstances to
pay us visit this summer. His name IS
KKAvES KEoAKEE, Esq. lie isa slim gen
tleman, of carc-worn countcnancc, dressed
entirely in black, with immensely Ion. arms
and fingers, and nose strangely like crows.
lie came upon us when the earth was thirsty
for rain, and vegetation was drawing It's leaves
closer around its heart and curling itself
Snucly into a mass to shut ont the hot air
We never were proud of our acquaintance

Farmers would inevitably Become bankrupt
hcrauSc they could raise nothing, and non
producers because every thing was so high
priced they could afford to purchase nothing.
The skies were brass above his head, the
earth mere brick dust beneath his feet. We
suggested to him that things mi glt turn out
better than he feared. that the latter rains
mi ght alter the face of nature wonderfully
He wa deaf to all hope. The thing was uIl-
dcnial!c. DID he not know? Could not TIE
