RAIN rain, rain,
How the water cometh down.
Like drops of grief when the hearts in pain,
And the world has on its frown.
Rain rain, rain!
What dark and stormy dayl
How nature weeps, and groans, and weeps again,
While the sun is hid awayI
Rain, rain, raini
The heaven weeps for the earthl
And the tears are falling on hill and plain
Where sins and cares have birth.
Rain, rain, rainl
Distilled from the breath of man,
From flowers of beauty and the tears of pain,
The heavenly Chemists plan.
Rain, rain, rainl
The sea is poured on the land.
But broken up and divided again,
Till the gift in drops doth stand.
Rain, rain, rainl
The drops of the deep blue sea
Which ascend in the air, and come again
With blessing for you and me.
Rain. rain. raini
How mighty the drops to blessi
So powerful the little we do to gain
Relief for earths distress.
Rain, rain, rainl
How it travels forever on
Over hills, and valleys, and stormy main.
In chariots* drawn by the sunl
Rain, rain, rain
Coming so thick and fasti
Soaking, and drenching, and washing the plain,
And rushing away in haste!
Rain, rain. rainl
1t is falling both day and night;
And planters speak in desparing strain,
With their hopes all darkened quitel
Rain, rain, raini
So it fell in the long ago,
When the flood of wrath came on aman,
With distinctions overflow
Rain, rain, rainI
Has the deluge come once more?
Thank God the circIing bow appears again,
The promises repeated o'er.
Rain, rain, rainl
1t softens the hardened earth,
And it washes away crimes darkened stain,
And prepares for the flowers birth
Rain, rain, raini
1t swells out the needed corn;
And sends through the fruit its juicy gain,
While plenty fills her horn.
Rain, rain, rain!
May its visits ever come,
With the harvest crown for every plain
To gladden. the poor mans homel
Rain, rain, rain!
Thank God for its blessed fall!
How it cooleth the air and the fevered brain,
And saves from famine's CALI
Rain, rain, raini
We shall leave the storms ere long,
And rise up far from the sight of paiR,
Or sound of funeral songl
Rain, ram, fainl
No clouds in the heavenly sky
No storms shall sweep the fowery plain
OF the peaceful home on high!

WHAT Is THE BIBLE LIKE?

l. 1t is like large, beautiful tree
that bears sweet fruit for those who
are hungry, and affords shelter and
shade for pilgrims on their way to the
kingdom of heaven.
2. 1t is ike cabinet of jewels and
precious stones, which are not only to
be looked at and admired, but used
and WON. ....-.
8. 1t is like telescope, which brings
distant objects and far-of things of
the world to come very near, so that
we can see something of their beauty
and Importance.
A. 1t is like treasure house, store
house of all sorts of yaluables and use.
full things, and which are to be had
without money and without price
5. 1t is like a deep, broad, calm,
flowing river, the banks of which are
green and flowery, where birds sing,
lambs play, and dear little children are
loving and happy.
My dear, dear children, because l
love you l want you to love the Bible.
If you attend to it, it will make you,
through Gods blessings, wise, rich and
happy forever and ever. 1t is Gods
book. 1t is the best book. 1t is q
book for little children. / hope you
will learn, and learn to sing, too, that
beautiful hymn,
Holy Bible, book divine,
Precious treasure thou art mine.

PARTED.
BY DR.. sAM'L sELDEN.
*The clouds.

Dear are the by gone hours we twain have passed,
Yet doubly dear this parting hour-this last
As flowers when witherlng yield rich perfume,
And larks sing sweetest when their wings they
plume,
Or snowy swans, whose voice IN lie IS mute,
In death breathe notes more soft than sIlvery
lutte,
Thoult think of me though we ne'er meet again,
Like parting ships upon the lonely main;
And oft in absence tender thoughts of thee
VIII come to me like birds to ships at sea,
Or spicy scents that steep the ocean air
AS near some unseen isle their course they steer.
My soul through life thy image shall retain,
AS plastic rocks the prints of ancient ram,
Or diamonds, which, exposed to noon-tlde beam,
In darkness still with sunny lustre gleam;
Cathedral cepsers will sweet odours shed,
Though from them long the franklncense nave
fled

In Convention, and make nominations for
all county officers for whom they will be per-
mitted TO vote at the approaching election.
D. That lnasmuch as there is strong
ground tor belief that the aforesaid Consti-
tuition will be rejected by the people of this
State, and that they viii not therefore be
permitted to participate in the Presidential
election, it is deemed inexpedient to nomi-
nate candidates for Presidential electors at
the present time, but if necessity should
hereafter arise tor such action, the power is
hereby vested in the State Executive Com
mittee to make the said nominations, OF to
reassemble this Convention for that purpose
as shall be deemed expedient.
3. That the opposers of Radical domina-
tlon IN the several counties, be earnestly re-
commended to adopt and carry into prompt
execution, the plan of organization prepared
and submitted for their consideration by the
State Executive Committee, which is hereby
made part of this report.

With the flame of star and the sound of hymn.
And bright with the lustre and sweet with the

Take it up tenderly,
Man with a souli

Fair is the sight of it,
Lorldly and bold
Fruit on the limbs Of 1t,

Who'd be mark ketman
Selling his fruit,
Gum in his eye, and
