CAMBRIDGE. Febr uary 2nd, 1876.
Rain 1 Raiti ! I hear it pattering on tho roof, as I pen those words, with a musical murmur for those who have nothing out in it that will spoil. We h^ve had one fine week to mock us, and now the rain is threatening to pour down upon us with as much violence as before, in tho days of the flood (not to speak irrevoently). It is no use speculating on the weather, one has got at last ashamed to speak of it to one's acquaintance on the street. If it were not impious one could cry out against it, when our eyes rest on the damage it is doing to the peaches — to say nothing of the broad fields of wheat which the natives are trying to get in. lam afraid that when the fruit does ripen it will not stay on the boughs many days. There is little or no news in our " small somnolent village." "We plod along in the even tenor of oar way, and our atmosphere, unless some ruffian kicks np a dust, is as clear as our consciences. — Own CorKCB*ONDEKT.
