THE WEATHER. 



Its far in June — ^the 6th of June — 



The month of leaves and roses — 

 And pleasant light should meet the eyes, 



And pleasant smells the noses j 

 They say that time is on the wing 



And on the Autumn gaining, 

 But who would know it when it is 



Perpetually raining. 



f got my summer pantaloons 



A month ago o'Monday, 

 And I have never had a chance 



To sport 'em even one day : 

 It's time for all the pleasant thing?, 



For walking, riding, training, 

 Cut there is nothing in the world 



But raining, raining, raiaing. 



there's Jane has staid at home until 



She's white as an albino, 

 And simple Sue is in a fret 



To wear her Navarino ; 

 " The wash" is soaking in the tub, 



The cambric muslins staining. 

 And human nature's in the dumps 



With raining, raining, raioiiig. 



The weathercock has rusted East, 



The blue sky is forgotten, 

 The earth's a saturated sponge, 



And vegetation's rotten. 

 I hate to see the " darkest side," 



1 hate to be complaining, 

 £u' hang me if my temper stands 



This raining, raining, raiaing. 



The hardest grapple on earth is that which ob- 

 tains between pride and poverty ; and the man Who 

 has become the disputed province of these two 

 belligerants, is a stranger to repose and happiness.

of elegant shoe buckles, intending to wear them at 



an approaching levee. The credit of the prince 



had been so much reduced by his extravagant 



habits that the jeweller refused to trust him. — 



The prince, in a rage, told the jeweller he should 



'spoil his trade,' and with this threat left him. At 



the next levee the prince appeared, having neatly 



tied his A'>es with a plain black ribbon. The 



fashion thus set by the heir to the throne was fol- 

 lowed by all classes ; and buckles, which were 



before universally worn, both in England and 



America, were entirely tlirown aside, and buckle- 



tnakers were obhged to learn other trades."
