"THE RAIN"
\ Poe m, by A. A. L. Wilson.

A Poem, by A. A. 1. Wilson.
The rain is falling thick and fast.
7 DO not know how long twill last;
put then 1t seems that I could stay
And watch 1t fall the live-long day.
IN cadence soft and low 1t falls,
And strikes the roof and then the walls;
Nor fingers long, but glides away,
II is so full Of work and play.
Il gathers in its tiny hand,
And rolls along the grains Of sand.
with nimble feet 1t gladly goes e
To seek some feeble streams 1t knows.
II tarries on each shrub and tree,
And says to them, NOW drink Of me"
II does not pass the grasses by,
II stops and satisfies their cry.
The rains happy, jolly thing
As happy as a lark on wing
And why should I refrain to see
The pictures which 1t makes for msa
Now even when the day Is done,
And sinks to rest the clouded sun,
The rain its mission still doth keep,
And soothes me with refreshing sleep.

to elect a negro bishop, and they be-

doomed upon the horizon apparently
the figure of black Moses. He was
the most brilliant man that Cannon
Theological seminary ever turned out,
and had had the honor to speak upon
the platform with the south's great
est orator, Henry W. Grady. He could
preach with such power that men
would cry out, "Stop, we can stand
no more!" He was a profound scholar;
he was genial and pleasing in manner
and apparently just the man to grace
the Episcopacy and honor his race.
But what was the CONSERVATION Of the
church and his friends to find that
there was a weak link in his charac-
ter. Thus was given blow to the
sentiment in favor of negro bishop
from which we have not yet recovered.
One man downed us; it will take ten
thousand pure, spotless lives to re"
store us. ~ t..
