A PRAYER for Rain

A Prayer for Rain.
Dry, dry, dry,
From earth and brazen skyi
Devices heavens and without rain;
Hot blasts sweeping DER the plain;
Vegetation whitening, dying;
Man and beast for water signing;
Dry, dry, dry,
Is the universal cryi
Dronth, drouth, drouth,
East and west, north and south,
From all quarters com, the wailing
Of the golden harvest falling
Crops beyond resuscitation-
Fields in inter desolation!
Drouth, droutll, drouth,
Is the plant of every mouth
Haze, haze, haze,
Only meets our anxious gaze
AS we sean with prayerful eve.
The long, unpropitious sky:
Now the hot sun breaking through,
Burning up the smoky dew,
With his reddeued, frcry rays,
DissipateS this eastern have.
Rain, rain, rain!
Will it ever come again?
Watering the thirsty earth
Giving vegetation birth
Cooling down the ievcred air
Life ditt'using everywhere
Rain, rain, rain,
Will it ever come again?
Rain, rain, rain!
Give, o Lord, the latter rain!
Let some Little cloud arising,
Fill the heavens all around,
Once again the earth baptizing
From the upper depths profound
In its scasoa--aye, before it,
From the cast or from the west,
North or south, grant our rcqust!
Rain, rain, rain,
Send, . Lord, the latter rain

The Baltimore Patriot. of Saturday af-

THE sidewalks have been embellished
for few evenings past, witq the sight Of
numbers of pretty young ladies, wearing
a head dress of peculiarly novel and strik-
ing character. 1t is composed of a sort
Of interviewer ribbons of many colors
prolonged behind into long pennants, that
float out upon the air like the streamers
at the masthead, describing an infnity
of beautiful curves, unknown to trigono-
mitry, which catch the hearts Of behold
ers in their intricate maZes. This new
head gear is called the Know Nothing
Wreath, as we are informed by the 'Spir-
it of 20 and, like every thing else about
Nothingism. is very startling and unex-

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Gen. VIM. l.. Cazneau, of Texas, has writ
ten a letter to the New York Herald correc
ting some gross misrepresentation of the
N. Y, Post, in regard to the Dominican Re
public. Dominica, says Gen. Cazneau is
Castilian in language and manners with q
Democratic Constitution and white GOV.
ernment-facts which the Post had affac,od
to question. The people are brave, orderly
and progressive, as they have proved by the
manner in which they have sustained them
selves since the establishment of Their indie
pendent government in 1874. Gen. Caznea,
says that in every battle with the Haytiens
the Dominicans have been victorious. an,
always against great odds. In one battle
Los Carreras, Santana, the Dominican lead
er, with six hundred men, put the Emperor
Faustin and 5000 negro soldiers to flight
with the loss of several pieces of artillery.
The colored population of Dominica out
number the whites, but they are loyal and
cOntented, and all the efforts of Haytier
emissaries to excite instruction or disaffec.
ton among them, have proved unavailing.-
1t is most earnestly to be hoped that the Do.
minican Republic may be recognized by this
country, and its interests encouraged and
strengthened by all legitimate means.

To M AcrED UPoN AT the next meet
Ing of the Council several resolutions win be called
up for kcti0u some Of which are too strongly tine
tured with ssQold dust TO meet the approval OF the
masses, who are already taxed almost beyond en-
durance to meet the constant demands upon the
treasury oil the city.
The most important of these resolutions Is the
one Recommending the appointment OF ten addi.
tionaI Watchmcn, at an expense of i've or six thou
sand dollars per year. II the city really needed
more night guardians, and the people believed that
an addition of ten men to their present force,
would prevent incendiarism, we do not hesitate to
say that they would readily incur the burthep; but
when common sense teaches them that such an ad
dtion would scarcely be felt except by the tax pay
ers, and that no good would result from the in.
crease they are not willing to sanction the move
n1ent As Tor preventing incendiarism, by add
ional watchmen, it's all Hoonshine Ten men on
each square in the city, could not detect an in
cendiary once in ono hundred times and the means
therefore expended in employing them, would be
thrown away. Twenty well paid wafchmen win
do more duty titan sixty halt paid ones aud if the
Council think the present force Inefficient all they
have to do is to increase the pay, and enlarge their
powers to treble their usefulness and value. Men
VINO spend their lives in the service of the city,
and know that they are not making support for
their families cannot be expected to discharge their
duties as promptly and fearlessly, as others who
feel that they are being fairly dealt with, and
their best exertons to their employers. Human
nature Is such, that men almost sure TO regu-
late their services by their pay and therefore it is
that those who pay the best prices sure to have
the most reliable employees. The rule applies with
equal force To the city TO other employers, and
her representatives should bear it in mind.
If $l50 per night was fair compensation for the
service of Waterman four years ago, when beef
could be bought for six or eight cents per pound
-four at Sc per barrel meal at so cents per busheL
butter at l6 cents per pound, and wood at 81 50

$l2 per BARREL meal at 81 per bushel butter at 25
and 81 cents per pound, and wood at 81 and IS per
cord, while house rent and servants hire have ad

teuiion of members of the Council to these facts
and again urge them to dojuslce to their employees
by increasing their pay, even if they have to re-
duce their numbers.
