and buds, and leaves, and flowers, are de-
cidadly cropping out;" and yesterday
morning early heard some bird music in
neighboring trees making such glad sweet
confusion of sound, that [ listened in vain
to determine whether there we're two or
three, or two or three and twenty, little
songsters engaged in It. Sach gushing,
rushing, joyous, jubilant prattle was theirs
over the returned warm weather, it would
have formed a model for bevy Of school
girls just started on a picnic excursion.
We have had the summer gusts, too, al
ready; and the dust Of our broad and
dirty streets, and broader avenues, has
enveloped US, until we prayed for rain
Rain came, in no traditional gentle April
shower, but in continued falling, and at
times, in driving sheets Of water that bent
the trees, and broke the flowers on their
fresh, tender stems. The latter part Of
Tuesday, the rain fell thick and fast and
all night until early in the morning-whew!
how it poured down, as if the windows Of
Of Heaven were opened sure enough
Then the prayer. e. wish--went up from
1000 hearts, doubtless, for suspension
of such active operations. And that has
been as fully gratiiicd. Never has the
Earth, in turning her cheek to the god
of day, for her morning salute, been
kissed more kindly than she was on We'd
nesday morning Now, awhile, Wen pray
no more; but, in our contentment and
gladness, praise.
