A dimness OF glory glimmers here
Thro' wells and distance from the space remot
A fantest far vibration of note
Reaches to us and seems to bring us near,
Causing our face to glow with brave cheer,
Making the serried mists to stand ahoat.
Subduing languor with an antidote?
And strengthening love almost to cast out fear.
Til for one moment golden city walls
Rise looming on MS. golden walls of home,
Light Of our eyes until the darkness falls;
Then thru' the outer darkness burdensome
hear again the tender voice that calls,
Follow me hither. follow, rise and come.

ST. LOUIS DRY GooDs TRADn.---As an eyi-
dence Of the increasing growth and prosper-
ity OF St. Louis as a great and important
iobbing center, we notice the colossal pro.
portions to which the dry goods house OF
bodd, Brown & 90. has grown during the
short period of three years. During our re-
cent visit to ST. Louis we were shown through
their new and elegant hYe-story house, lo-
Gated at 217 and 219 North Main street, and,
to our surprise, found amuch larger business
than we had supposed was conducted by any
one dry goods firm in the city. We were
much interested to soc how systematically
their immense stock was disposed OF on the
different floors OF their large establishment.
The first and second floors are devoted to
staple cotton goods, fannels, Jeans, etc.; the
third floor is devoted to dress goods, gloves,
hosiery and notions; the fourth to cloths,
cassneres, whitc goods, aud other varieties;
and the fifth floor to original PACKAGES.
An elevator operated by steam, is almost
constantly in motion, conveying passengers
and freight 10 the different floors OF their i'm
mense building,
This is the largest Dry Goods house west
of the Mississippi river. The dimensions Of
the building occupied by Dodd, Brown Co.,
are forty feet front by one hundred and fifty
feet deep. II occupies two lots on Main
street. Their stock ID not only the largest
and most complete in st. Louis, but this firm
is doing the largest Dry Goods business west
OF the Mississippi

The Times, of New Work, looks over the
foreign appointments of Mr. Grant, in de-
tail; and here is its conclusion:
"They (the appointments) have been too
generally treated as coin for the payment
of personal or political obligations and
evince no very thorough knowledge of the
qualifications required for effective service
in the foreign field. The assignment is con-
spicuously the work of man new to this
special department, of one clearly not ia
miliar with what is wanted, OF with the way
to get it. We may look for good many
blunders and more failures: but we may
reasonably hope to escape absolute discred-
it,"
This is about the most lugubrious speci-
men of commendation on record,

POINTED TO OFFICE BY GRANT. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune refers with confessed modification
to the fact that NEARLY every radical mem
Der of the Fortieth Congress who failed to
get into the Forty-First has been provided
with an Office by Grant. II is undoubt edly
true that the President has sought out, as
the especial objects of favor and reward,
tho candidates of the Radical party who
were defeated for their bad character, their
rascality, their corruption, or general unfit
ness Ashley Delano, Andrews, Pills, and

would have no policy against the will of the
people.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Gath, 1869.

DEAR SIR:-You say that some of your
neighbors are inquiring how we can afford
to sell our stock at such prices as we adver-
tise. They say, you tell me, "Would it
not make them bankrupt to sell out four
hundred thousand dollars worth of cloth
ing, and make no profit on it?" / am glad
the people take SO much interest in us and
our "Sale," and l cheerfully reply to their
query. In these times, most men consider
that they are "making money" if they
manage to hold their own. That is not
our case, however. Even by this Sale, not
directly, but indirectly, We expect to make
something. In the first place, our sales
thus far this season hare been 50 great that
though we have undersold all our competi-
tors, we have made money enough to give
us handsome margin, even though we
should make nothing by the sale, either
directly or indirectly. But if we repeat
the experience of last Winter, we will find
this Sale the means of attracting and
attaching to our house many new custom
ers, who forever after give us their regular
There's profit in that. Then, again, it
puts us in possession of lrrge amount of
ready cash, which gives us infinite advan-
tages in our business, and on which we
can well afford to pay discount rather
than wait for it to come in more slowly
in the regular way. Moreover it gives
us good start for next seaon, leaving us
unincumbered with old stock. So our
friends need not fear that we will do our
Ives any harm; and they may be sure that
we will do them good if they will give MS
chance at this present time.

HARpER's MAGAZINE FOR DECEMBEH.-
The following notice of Harper, is from
the Philadelphia Press. 1t will be seen
that the Press places Harper at the head of
monthly periodicals.:
"Not even publishers will deny that
Harpers Magazine, the Fortieth volume of
which is begun with the December number,
is the best monthly periodical, not in this
country alone, but in the English language.
A combination of circumstances have made
it so. The proprietors have liberality as
we'll as capital; it's conductors are exper-
fenced as we'll as capable; its illustrations
are numerous and good. The impersonali-
ty Oft edtorship is great advantage. 1t
is known that Mr.. G. w. Curtis, an admir-
able cssayist as we'll as sound critic, writes
for it; that Mr.. A. II. Guernsey does a
great deal fort it, and that Mr.. Fletcher
Harper exercises supervising power over
it-but no one is knorn to be approachable
as the editor; to be approachable by letter
or in person. The editor of Harper is as
much an abstraction as Christopher North
was in the palmy days of Wilson and Lock
hart. The new number opens with a new
''I.ife of Frederick the Great" profusely
illustrated, which will run through the
magazine for about a year. Next month a
novel by Mr.. Lawrence, author of "Guy
Livingstone;' and for the editors Scien-
tific Record begun in the November num-
Der, the express cooperation of members
of the Smithsonian Institute, at Washing
ton, has been secured, the purpose being
that it shall of itself be complete Year
Book of Science. In the opening of tho
biography of Frederick there are ten engrav-
ings; there are seventeen in Beast, Bird,
and Fish," eighteen in "The University
Rowing Match" "a lively and detailed ac-
COUNT two in Miss Mulock's serial, " A
Brave Lady" and six in the "Scientiic
Record" There are three capital novel
etts, but the best thing in all the magazines,
this month, is the opening essay, in the
Editors Easy Chair.

SPECIE PAYMENTs.-The movement for
an early return to specie payments is be-
coming very popular among the members
of Congress, and the opinion is expressed
in the highest financial circles that the pro-
iect will be achieved before the close of
another year. General Grant and Secre-
tary Boutwell, are both in favor of an early
resumption, and nothing will be left undone
that can accomplish the objects at the car
liest day possible. General Garfield, and a
number of other noted Western members,
are also announced as in favor of speedy
resumption. 1t is thought Congress will
early in the session take some decided
action on the subject.
