Before the Shower.
Fnll cheerily the meadow lark
Sings in the heavy air of June,
But clouds have gathered thick aud dark
Through all the sultry afternoon.
The men afield with busy shout
Of haste, rake fast the new made hay,
And oft they turn in fear and doubt
A quick glance to the sullen gray.
The trees in yonder forest tall
Are shaken with the rising gale—
And loud above the robin’s call
Is heard the whistle of the quail.
Ilarkl nearer rolls the thunder dull—
The birds In all the trees are dumb—
The lightnings flash—and, in the lull.
The first drops fall: the rain has come.
AFTER THE SHOWER.
The sun has at last come out of his cloud.
The robin looks out of his nest
And sings to himself while the thunders loud
Are muttering away in the West.
A tear stands yet in the violets eye.
And a tear in the lily's cup,
But a smile steals over the broad blue sky,
And the clover blossoms look up.

Transformation of Blood—An
Astonishing Result
Max Adder writes to the Danbury
News as follows :
A recent medical experiment has
excited a considerable amount of in
terest in our village. My neighbor
Simpson was nearly dead with con
sumption, and Dr. Hopkins at lest in
despair, concluded to try the effect of
a transfusion of blood, of which he
bad heard so much lately. As no
human being was willing to shed his
blood for Simpson, the doctor bled
Simpsons goat, and opening a vein in
Simpson’s arm he injected about two
quarts of blood into the patient’s sys
tem Simpson immediately began to
revive, but singular to relate, no soon
er bad his strength returned than he
jumped out of bed, and switching
his head about after the fashion of a
goat, he made a savago attempt to
butt the doctor. The medical gentle
man, after having Simpson’s head
plunged against his stomach three or
four timep, took refuge in the closet,
whereupon Simpson banged his head
against the panel of the door acouplo
of times and would probably have
broken it to splinters had not his
mother-in-law entered at that moment
and diverted his attention. One well
directed blow from Simpsons’s bead
floored ber, and then, whilo she
screamed for help, Simpson frolicked
around over the floor making assidu
ous efforts to nibble the green flowers
in the ingrain carpet.
When they called the hired man in
and tied him down on the bed, an ef
fort was made to interview him, but
the only answer he could give to such
questions as to how he felt and when
be wanted bis medicine, was a “ba-a,”
precisely liko that of the goat; and
then he would strain himself in an ef
for to butt a bole in the headboard.
The condition of the patient was so
alarming, and Mrs. Simpson was so
indignat, that Dr. Hopkins deter
mined to undo the evil, if possible.
So he first bled Simpson freely, and
then by heavily bribing Simpson’s
Irishman, bo procured fresh blood
from him and injected Simpson the
second time. Simpson is now as well
as ever, excepting that he shocks his
Republican friends by displaying au
irresistible tendency to vote tho Re
publican ticket, and makes bis moth
er-in-law mad by speaking in a strong
brogue. But he lias giveu up butting,
ami has never indulged in it siuce
but once, and that was on Sunday,
when one of the remaining corpuscles
of goat’s blood got into liis brain just
as lie was going into church, bo butt
ed the sexton half way up the aisle,
aud only recovered himself sufficient
ly to apologise just as the enraged of
ficial was about to floor him with a
hymn-book.
£gT This is ono of the Cincinnati
Commercial’s letters from the people:
Mr. Editor—will you pleas ter en
quire to som loyer or advortis in your
paper, weather I can git a divorce in
this State. I find it unpossible to liv
enny louger with my wife. I have
been twiced married and may God
forgive me for takiu the last one G
mouths ago, She is ten years older
an I and deceived me by warm fals
Lair and teeth, and a posectivo fact

fals teeth, izzent that coz enuf for
any coart. If you print your answer
mark it X. Y. Z. dont print mi name.
Yours in hopes. The crops is looking
good savin we need rain badly.
On a cruise, the sailors saw a
comet, and were somewhat surprised
and alarmed at its appearance. The
hands met and appointed a committee
to wait on the commander and ask
his opinion of it. They approached
him and said: “We want to ask your
opinion, your honor.” “Well my boys,
what is it about?” “Wc want to in
quire about that thing up tbere.”
“Now, before I answer you, first Jet
me know what you think itis ?” “Well,
your honor, we have talked it all over,
and we think it is a star sprung a
leak.”
