[The death of Col. Coates Kinney, the author and poet, January 25, at the Presbyterian hospital, in Cincinnati Ohio, recalls his most famous work, en- titled |" Rain on the Roof" The poem follows When the humid shadows hover
 Over all the starry spheres, And the melancholy darkness
 Gently weeps in rainy tears, What joy to press the pillow
 Of a cottage chamber bed, And to listen to the batter
 Of the soft rain overhead! Every tinkle on the shingles
 Has an echo in the heart; And thousand dreamy fancies
 Into busy being start; And thousand recollections Weave their bright hues into wool,A As listen to the batter
 Ot the rain upon the roof. Now, in fancy, comes my mother
 As she used to, years agone, To survey her darling dreamers,
 Ere she left them till the dawn; Oh see her bending o'er me,
 As list to this refrain, Which is played upon the shingles
 By the batter of the rain. Then my little seraph sister, 
 With her wings and waving hair, And her bright-eyed, cherub brother A serene, angelic pair! Glide around my wakeful pillow,
 With their praise of mild reproof, As listen to the murmur
 Of the soft rain on the roof. And another comes to thrill me
 With his eyes, delicious blue; And forget I, gazing on her,
 That her heart was all untrue: I remember but to love her
 With rapture kin to pain, And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
 To the batter of the rain. There is naught in Arts bravuras
 That can work with such spell In the spirits pure, deep fountains,
 Whence the holy passions we'll, As that melody of Nature,
 That subdued, subduing strain Which is played upon the shingles
 By the batter of the rain.
