sky is clear and charmingly blue, I'M
lecked DER all its broad expanse, from
zenith to horizon, by ever 50 small Il

eye and Imagination could soar alike
away into that
Lucid interspacc of world and world,
Where never creeps a cloud nor moves 4
wind;
Nor ever falls the least white star of snow,
Nor ever lowest roll of thunder means,
Nor sound Of human sorrow mounts to
mar
The sacred everlasting calm"
We had quite a refreshing shower
yesterday. The crops were sadly in
need OF it. The wheat crop has a
dark green appearance, and the fields
look really beautiful.
Business is pretty brisk. p. c.
