MELANcuoLLY.-When the nervous system
loses its tone and vigor the whole body suffers
in consequence; not unfrequently some one
organ suffers more than the rest, hence the
origin of Heart Disease, Consumption, Soft

method of cure lies in restoring the vital prin.
ciple to the nerves, which is most easily ac-

Anxiously longed for and fervently prayed
for, the blessed rain has at last descended up
! on the Parched and dusty earth. Nature has
refreshed herself with long draughts of pure,
wholesome water. 1t came on Saturday ev-
ening as though the bottom had fallen out of
the big hogshead overhead, and continued I'M
interruptedly until Sunday morning, when
out of respect for the good clothes of the
church goers, it consented to drizzle gently,
and for time suspended entirely, only to
burst out again with renewed vigor on Mon
day morning about three o'clock. At the
present writing it looks something like clear
ing up, though we can't tell what's in store for
US now the drought has broken. But let us
all rejoice, for Providence is on our side, the
streams and rivulets are swollen, the grass
hoppers have launched out into the broad
ocean of eternity, the striped backed bugs
have turned pale, and will hereafter leave the
leaves alone, and vegetation is just 'scooting.''
