EFFECT OF RAIN.

One of our exchanges is responsible
for the appearance of the following:
A short time since the cow was sad.
she scarce could raise her head, bedad
her hoofs were sore, her tail was
limp. her name and bag had lost their
crimp, and miles she trudged from
grass to drink with scarcely strength
enough to wink. The owner too look
dblue and glum, and cursed the cat
tie business some; but since the raj
the grass is tall, the cow can raise
her head and bawl; her side is sleek,
no bones protrude, she Frances like a
corn-fed dude. Her owner, too, digs
UP the chink, and asks the boys t.
take drink. God bless the rain the
gentle rain; it makes a man feel
young again. He feels like tossing up
his hat and bowling like a Democrat
Elk.
