4 SUMMER SHOWER.


The dust is flying here and there.
In funny littlo whirls;
The leaves are tuning upside down.
The breeze among them swirls,
The cows are lowing in the lane.
And window shutters creak;
Rumble, rumble, rumble,
The clouds begin to speak
A shivcr runs along the brook,
And loaden grows the sky
The Sunshine falls mil away,
Then shuts up like an eye.
You couldn't find bird or bee
Iu upland, vale or plain
Patier Pattcr, Patter
The bUlging drops ofrain,
The chickens hide beneath the shed,
And wear their rutlled capcs;
The very weather this, for ducks
To show their waddling shapes,
From yondcr farm rooster gives
A duIl, desPairing crow;
Us raining, raining, raining
Over there, we know,
The grass has grown deeper green
The sky darker blue;
And, o. we lilIle know the good
A summer shower can do
The binds are singing loud and clear,
And this is what they say;
"Come out, come out. come.out again,
The clouds are gone awayH

CURRENCY III CALIFORNIA,

We appreciate the want Of IN abundant
paper currency which is felt in California,
nnd especially since the opening of the
Pac,fc Railway. But We would not, there
fore, advise our California fnancie.s to
rush into the lnbyrinthian swamp Of depre-
cinted greenback currency, from the evils
Of which they have TINS far been exempt,
aud the benefits Of which they would now
lie too lute to renlize. What California, the
South and the whole country need is not
deprecated currency, worth only Il cents
per dollar, but an abundant paper currency
worth par with gold Senator Sherman
introduced 4 bill last winter which, If
passed, would have in part supplied this
deficit; and there is s1ttle doubt TINT, during
The coming session Of Congress, sosuo plan
will bc devised for the issue, sy the govern-
ucnt and the bankH, of all tho pnper cnr-
rency the people viii take, Of par with gold.

currency ut par with gold nnd correspond
ing TO their dollar Of account. Their con-
trncts, u1lilo ours, nro incurred in gold
They hnre no suspension Of specie indelt-
cdness u payment. But the absence Of
my paper dollar issued by the banks OF
the government, rcdcenable on demand
with gold, leavcs them really no currency

This, being worth rur in gold, will cause our
present deprecintcd currency to be quoted
