A friend of mine who has just returned from America tells me a story which is an amusing comment upon the now almost extinct snperati ion of praying for rain. “We had a drought which had almost destroyed our craps, when, in answer to our prayers, it rained copiously,” observed a New England divine. “ What foolish people.” replied another divine from another part of tbe country, “you must be iu New England not to have prayed for rain before you bad lost half your crops.”
