RAIN IN THE COUNTRY.

From the Boston Herald.
When 1t rains in the country what do
the folks do?
Well, listen a moment, and I will tell
YOU;
IT'S pleasant to think Of the pleasure
we get
When all of the world is all drizzle
and wet,
When work can't be done in the gar
den or field,
And fishing and hunting no pleasure
will yield.
When kitchens are cozy and parlors
invite.
When the wind and the rain is at its
full height.
When 1t rains in the country what do
the folks do?
All! Could you but see us all snug
from the dew!
No fretting, no worry because of the
rain,
And o, 1t is restful, the beat on the
pane!
No beaches, no shopping, no concerts
no shows,
No fussing, no worry about our fine
clothes;
What do we do really? You ask me
again?
When it rains in the country We just
let 1t rain.
