THE WEATHER.--A sorry set of rueful visages
was turned skyward yesterday, but no ray Of hope
cleaned out from the leaden Clouds The clork OF
the weather had evidently changed the pro-
gramme, and many church -goers were reluctantly
| compelled to remain at home. rainy Sunday is
| always depressing. The love of bonnet cannot
be admired, and the pleasure Of wearing Sunday
60 connecting clothes is gone. Old Pluvius is no
respecter Of persons, and those whose duties call
them abroad are glad to escape from his fury by
taking refuge in street car In city like
Charleston, rainy Sunday has more than the
usual solemn stiffness connected with the holy
day. The streets arc comparatively deserted, and
| the hotels have only few stragglers who try
| to kill time, while the slim attendance. at tho
| churches shows that there are not many believers
in the cid proverb that "a Sunday rain cannot
| kill" r. sI,,hia.t,ra t5t
