We are enjoying few cool days but the
frequent rains continue, and the farmers
some farmers, still talk about water-soakecA
earth, and spoiled crops; but am told that
we are to have plenty OF peaches and APP
pies, so the law of compensation will held
good. At least, did think so, until | was
told that most of the peaches have worms
in them, but have found no worms IN the
few that have had. think, perhaps, that
one does not find the worms until one has
had more than one wants | have seen
some trees bearing wonderful loads of pears,
and the vines show promise OF an a5und-
ance of grapes, and SO we have no shelvings
or truck wagons to send to market may still
find blessings in the rain which keeps the
earth and trees so fresh and green, and
leads US to say
YES for our wonder,
Fathoms of inland green, deep tree on tree,
; Reared with the winds, shall send up httnllv
Bright notes as bubbles flicker up from under
Green depths of sea-.

And an angels white wings are your screen"
