Rain Song.

I love the rain,
 Gods blessed rain!
 The solt, sweet rain,
 The tender April rain. bend with listening ear to meet The pattering of it's silvery feet, Whose music sinks and swells Like chime of tiny bells, Calling the earth to wake from sleep; And dainty leaflets shyly peep
 From the messy mold
 So brown and old,
 So damp and cold, 20 watch the dancing of the rain To catch the music ot the rain The tinkling of the rain. s.. 1 love the rain s
 The summer rain! The softly sobbing rain, The gently falling rain, That comes the parched earth to bless, And, with human tenderness, Lifts up the dropping flowers With tender, fearful kisses, Full of loves hopeful blisses; And every blossom raises,
 With timid grace,
 A shining face, In smiling, odorous mazes;
 And the tall grasses
 In shadowy passes,
 Culver and dance
 With pearl-decked lance, Beside the blushing daisies; . And all the earth rejoices, With happy, thankful voices, At the coming of the rain The gentle summer rain.
 l love the rain,
 The autumn rain. The wild, tempestuous rain, The fiercely beating rain. I list to the tramp of it's mail-clad feet, Over the house-top, down in the street; I mark their track OCT the forest old, As they scatter it's wealth of crimson and gold They dash the fiery crown From the naples stately head, And the glory ripples down In flame of fiercest red. So they tramp, tramp away, Thro' the waning autumn day, And they batter and they dash, With a rush and a crash, Mingling with the sobbing sea, In wild, weird melody. An! I love the dashing rain The rushing, crashing rain
 The autumn rain. s. E. LotDeA, in PortiaAd Iranscript

 No focln of government has. yet bee,, discovered by which cruelty can bs wholly prevented. Subordination sup poses power on one part and subiection on the other; and if power be in the hands of men it will sometimes be abused. 1 ss11s 1rat s-iif You are more sure of success in the end if you regard yourself as Il man of ordinary talent, with plenty of hard work before you. than if you think yourself a man of genius. and spend too much time in watching your hair grow long, that you may convince people ilia you are not like other folk. -ss
 Two gifts are offered to men-in this world; they very seldom can have both. One is success, with weariness: tlie | other failure, with hope The last is much the best. The man who suecfeds finds that his success does not amount .o great deal; the man. who fails, bur keeps his hope. is the happy man.
 The life that is devoted to knowledge passes silently away, and is very little diversified by events, To talk in public. to think in solitude to read and-f hear, to inquire and to answer inquiries, is the business of g scholar.

 A young couple went to the Church of St. Roche, Paris, to be married. The lady proposed that they should both go to the confessional to commence their new life free of old sins. The gentleman assented, and they went to different parts of the church. He returned to his place in quarter of an hour, and waited for his would-be bride full hour very impatiently. When she returned he asked: "Where have you been all this timer" Why. at the confessional" And did it take you all this time to confess your sins?" Yes" she answer ed, humbly.

TnE TMnuLATioSs OF A CORN DoCToR,-
A corn doctor who becomes intoxicated
should be excused, The Contumely and con.
tempt heaped upon him would "6rcak up"
physiulogically speaking, a deck hand on a
bankrupt towboat. We were led 10 these
philosophical remarks while passing a
saloon last night, and seeing an individual
tred out In the direction Of the street car
track like the flight Of pea out OF bean
shooter. We stopped TO see what damage
had been done,and finding that It amount.
cd to nothing more than the establishment
OF some bottles Of ointment in the fellows
pocket, We inquired Of the proprietor oi
the inebriate asylum whit had occasloned
the rapid transit oil his guest. We were
informed In two languages that the man
had taken one drink and slept for four
hours In one chair. Efforts OF every kind
had been made to awaken him, and all had
failed until Main street merchant busted
him down with u fly brush heavily
ladened with water As he felt the
strange liquid percolating down his back
he arose like lightningr0d agent abashed
by shock OF electricity, and commenced
throwing match safes around and assum
ing the position OF an aristocratic prize
fighter. This brought up the proprietor
who Immediately gathered mp the spare
cloth in the seat OF the pantaloOns Of the
belligerent customer and elected him.
Thus does misfortune overcome the pro
ieSsion like cloud with a lining like the
inside OF q stove lid.
