A SHOWER.

n the valley that l know
Happy scene!
There are meadows sloping low,
There the fairest flowers blow,
And the brightest waters flow
All serene;
But the sweetest thing 10 see,
If YOU ask the dropping tree,
Or the haryesthoping swain,
Is the rain.
All, the dwellers in the town,
How they sigh,
How ungrafefully they frown,
When the cloud king shakes his crown,
And the pearls come pouring down
From the skyi
They descry no charm at all
Where the sparkling jewels fall,
And each moment of the shower
Seems an hour.
Yet there's something very swes;
In the sight,
Naen the crystal currents meet,
In the dry and dusty street,
and they wrestle with the heat,
In their might!
While they seem to hold talk,
With the stones along the walk,
And remind them of the rule,
To keep cool"
Bot ii hat quiet deli.
Ever fair,
Stln the Lord doeth all things well,
When his clouds with blessings swell
And they break a brimtning shell
On the air
There the shower hath It's charms
Sweet and welcome TO the farms,
IS laey listen to lis voice.

profits in order to make up for the losses and extra
expenses necessarily involved in credit business of
small amounts Ii is also easy for the merchant to
make arrangements to buy his book bill for cash,
