"A WEATHER PROTEST. The Troy Times

the raging Sirius g 1.:a .
sSwetered and suffering reader, may we IN
form you that we have had a heated term-a
regular grease7reducing era, a series OF kero-
sene days? wherein the caletactlon has been
tremendous2 dAt early morn there has been
. most painful calidity; at high noon the
scorching incandescence has been unbearable
while at usually balmy evening the incalescent
hectic flush of wildGre day has fingered on the
frames of the population. Oh, how we all
have @sweltered, and simmered, and seethed,
and stewed, and steamed, and smoked, and
snnouldered, and scalded, since the lst OF July,
beneath the mighty flames of The God OF day.,
How simoon7ish, Sirocco- like, mas. been ola
Soils great torrid bonfire How he has blazed
away atius, and how we have boiled beneath
his persistent and broad one-sheeted pyrotech-
n.y.. Oh, how We invoked temporary gelldness,
a partial clemency, brief hoartrost, gentle
rime, cooling an ID welcome though shudder-
ing and shiyering hail-storm, an lncombustlDle
glacier. for afeW minutes. , But we are not
vouchsafed the slightest sleet, and we still :iig-
mite. We repeat, the weather has been pip
inely ardent and canicularly fervid. Let us In
woke a truce to this igneous display-this lique-
faction of humans, this incarceration, scorltca-
ton and .torrefaction Of already conHragate
mortality. Should there not be an end OF
smelling .mortals, oh for congelatlon and
freezing mixtures. !" ....-.,. f.r- lf,,,
