Growth OF THE WEST" A single
fact in regard to the business of the two
great railroads which connect our city with
the East" says the Chicago Press, "most
strikingly demonstrates the wonderful rap
id growth of the West. The entire earn
ings of the Michigan Central Railroad for
the year ending June, 1859, (during which
year it was the only road leading across
peninsula of Michigan, as the Michigan
Southern line was only opened for use in
June, 1852 were 81 ,069, ,947; while this
year the gross earnings of the two lines
of road will probably exceed $4,000, 900.
The transportation ofoutward bound pro-
ducts, and the importation of merchandise
to and from the port of Chicago, by lake,
during the same period, have fairly kept
pace with the wonderful increase of rail
road business. No wonder, in view Of
these facts, that stocks in the above roads,
and in those important lines which con-
nectthe Mississippi and Lake Michigan, are
sought after by capitalists with so much
avidity, and that they 50 readily com
mand the comparatively high rates at
which they are now held; nor is it all
wonderful that those who have any con
ception Of the immense resources of the
West which yetremains undeveloped, have
an abiding confidence that its business must
90 on increasing in a still more rapid
ratio, and that stocks in its judiciously
located railroads must continue to be among
the safest and most lucrative investment OF
capital,

"WALRk IN"
by ALFRED BURNETT.

How often do these words we view,
They are well known to each OF you,
And seen SO oft at every door,
That they've become in fact bore.
But not alone on doors they're seen,
The old, the young, the fat, the lean
Cry out, "Walk In, and you shall see
How we can suit you to a T."
The barber stands behind his chair,
Ready to cut or curl your hair
Walk In p he cries, well shave you soon,
But keeps you waiting until noon'
The doctor with his drugs and pills,
Bids you "Walk in ;" he never kills
But neighbor Jones, the other night,
'Tis whispered, that he killed outright.
"Walk In !" the auttioneer oft cries,
"And buy my goods"-and hear my lies,
He might have said, and spoke the truth,
Which scarce he's uttered since his youth.
"Wulk In !" the liquor dealer cries,
"And if you're fools you shall grow wise,
And if you're poor you shall feel rich,
Though wallowing in stagnant ditch
The gamester with smile so bland,
Invites you in to take hand,
But soon he sees you to the door,
Your moneys his, and you're !" bore"
The lawyer tells you to Walk In,
And says your case he's sure to win,
But after court It's plain to see
The lawyer pleads but for bis fee.
Merchants, doctors, lawyers call,
And thus invite us one and all,
And each our kind attention Graves,
Until we "Walk Into our graves,

The Thrifty farmers Song,

On THE APPROACH OF WINTER.
Cold winter draws near,
But care not for that;
My potatoes are dug,
And my hogs are all fat:
My wood is all up,
And my apples are in,
And my wheat's in the barn,
And my corn's in the bin /;
My hays in the NOW,
rs And my horses below,
And I've nothing to fear
From the frost or the snow;
I'm ready, cold winter,
So come when you please,
And let down your white sheet
O'er the hills and the trees.
Blow, blow, bowling boreas,
Wild Ger the hills,
And pile up the snow drifts,
And freeze up the rills;
l care not how rudely
You rave through the trees;
am ready, cold winter,
So come when you Please,
The poor may all tremble,
The shiftless all fear,
And dread dreary winters
Cold stormy career
But as for myself,
/ can sit at my ease,
And sing winter, cold winter,
Just come when you please.
