The Lumber Trade of Burlington.

The leading business interest OF the
place is the trade in lumber. One firm
made last vear,as they acknowledge, $500
GOO net profits on this lumber trade. Some
of the partners reside elsewhere, but the
names of two Of this firm OF Lawrence
Barnes & Co., appear in this list. One
il that of Lawrence Barnes, who returns
an income of $4,000, and the other Mial
Davis. whose return is S2S.i69. There
are partners of the firm in Lowell and
Boston, and they had the balance of the
$500, 900 profits. This lumber business
started in small way in about 1885. 1t
was then mere cipher: not enough TO
amount to anything worth mentioning. 1t
grew with each year, until within the last
two or three years it has taken rapid
strides, 50 that Burlington now probably
ranks as the fifth city in the Union III the
importance of its lumber trade, Chicago
being the first in the trade, and Albany
the second. The lumber business done at
Burlington last year is estimated at 90
600 900 to Jos. 100000 feet. Estimat-
inc its value at so to $40 per NJ, and ii
would amount to three to four millions OF
dollars The entire mercantile and man
utacturing interest Of the whole State Is
estimated at only nineteen millions. Ii
this lumber trade IS 100000 it Is 20
per cent of the great interest OF the entire
State. This large. and profitable, bust
ness has been entirely built up within the
last nine or ten years, and is destined, ii
is to be hoped to still increase in magni-
tude and importance.-I1yus.

Strength, without hands to smite;
Love, that sndures for q breath;

And the high gods t0ok in hand
Fire, and the falling of tears,
And & measure of sliding sand

And dust Of the laboring earth;
And the bodies OF things to be
In the houses ofdeath and Of birth
And wrought with weeping and laughter.
And fashioned with loathing aud 1--we,
With life before and after,

A time 10 serve and to sin
They gave him Light in his ways,
Andlove, and space for delight,
And beauty, andlength Of days,
And night, and sleep in the night.
His speech is a burning FIRE;
With his lips he travaileth
