some other kind just for change. In fact after
structed machine to grind out weather items
for us, (having exhausted ourself). Its first at
tempt was made night before last with the fol-
lowing reeult, when unfortunately the crank
broke and we had to quit grinding:
The rain, the rain, the beautiful rain,
Pattering gently on house. top and pane;
Filling the cutters with waters gray,
Decking our clothing with gariands Of spray;
Making the landing an ocean Of slush,
Filling the crossings with mud, soft as nush.
It started to work yesterday and after grinding
ont the following verse, which was addressed to
the clerk OF the weather, it broke into thousand
pieces:
We have olld for change
And other things too,
Oh instead If the rain
