The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-08-14

"The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
II rains, and the wind IS never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering
wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fan,
And the day is dark and dreary.
BE still. sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shin
ing;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary."
Surely LongfeHow must have had just
such weather as We have been undergoing
for the past few days when he wrote the
beautiful lines of the Rainy Day"
Each day we have hoped that the clouds
would clear away and the sun come out
for good August weather. 1t almost
seems as though the rain intended keep
ing up just until the Minnewaska set sail
for Santiago with our brave soldiers
aboard. Could it be that 1t is just a type
of the tears shed by the anxious moth
ers and wifes of those loved ones who
have gone, without fear, to relieve the
sick in Gen Skaters army? The Old say
ing is "'Tis an i'll wind that blows no one
any good, and the planters tell us this
is fine growing weather" so while we
are fretting over our plans and prepara-
tons being frustrated the cotton Is grow
ing apace and rice nearing harvesting
time.
