Rain
We humbly submit to the learned
astronomers Of our land that con-
vention be called TO change the CAL
endar. May is the time OF conven-
tons, whichspring up in all the States
like autumn mushrooms in country
meadows-an0 what more appropTi-
ate season? Saint Swithin, the holy
father of rain, holds his prisons in sum-
mer-an appointment which did very
well in the elder time, but which would
be more appropriate if changed into
the calendar Of May. Somebody has
called an April shower the harvest of
showers. This is bringing pOetical
image and harmonious expression of
language nearer the glass of truth
than is usual. But, this year, we
have had the cleaning greater THAI
the harvesting that which was left
after the. rainy refping was the great
est and richest of fruit.
We opine that even the Quakers
quaked last Sunday as they admired
the heavenly dispensation of fluid.
Their season should come in The lat
ter part Of May, and they may have
it yet; but we will take odds ont that
that which is to come cannot excel
that which has past.
The May freshet is here--the river
and creeks are out of their banks

is, in a great measure, interdicted.--

SINGULAR CURE.-The Baltimore
Patriot says:-A lady residing in the
western part of the city, formerly a
commitment of the Episcopal Church,
having lately been converted to the
Baptist faith, under ministration of
Rev d. Williams, of the First Baptist
church of this city, WAS on Sunday
evening immersed in the presence of
a large congregation. This lady had
been afflicted for number of years
with the rheumatism, so much so that
she was unable to walk without as
sisfance. After her immersion ''she
came up out of the water" relieved Of
her affection, and was enabled to pro-
ceed to her home without the help
she formerly required. This wonder
ful cure WAS made the subject of some
very feeling remarks by the pastor
Of the church, who attributed it to
the agency ofthe Divine Spirit.
