Qmtw tTimbct tecttc. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. SATURDAY^MORNING, JULY 25. Written for the Gazette.] 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. TIIEO C. PEASE. Cambridge, Mass. 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.
