RETRIBUTION.

the rain and the cold which have
deeply afflicted said children of men
and caused them to grieve sorely.
And how about it? You remember
the comet lost it's tail, which ioated,

great lost fragment disappeared some

a Whit of smoke. OF course, that tail
was in the ethereal spaces surround

for our vigorous atmosphere shut it
out.
Slowly it dissipated itself through

awakened the sleepy electricity and
