Two gather lilies and wade the sweet clover.
Shouting glad songs In their morning and May;
Gold are the dreams and the clouds that float over,
And golden the future far stretching away.
Two launch their boat for voyage Ut long sailing,
The bright ripplcs play aud the wind 10 of shore,
While the red light Of the morning II failing,
Sturdy aud strong sails the balk-dips the oar!
Two hand In hand. climb over the mountain,
Footsorc and weary from tempest and toll,
With only a moment to drink from the fountain.
Renewing their strength for to-morrow's turmoil.
Two. when the Autumn hath put on its glory.
Sit by the shore Of the beautiful Part;
Whose solemn waves break with wonderful story
OF fancfnl shirs that went down In the blast.
Two. IN the chin Of the snowy December.
Talk OF the Winter that leads to the Spring:
Two sit and dream. over fagvot and cmbes,

Two lie 1t rest under hl0ssoming roses;
Winter sifts over them gently the snow;
Sunlight Of summer above them rrp0ses:
Their places arc nled, and the years come and 70!

WHAT h LEFT Of CHICAGO

Our columns have been 90 extensively oc.
cupied during the past week with reports Of
the enormous losses Of life and property in
the late fire, that there is some danger that
the damage sustained will I've over estimated.
True. we have seen 4, 500 acres, In the most
central portion Of the city swept bare 20,
600 buildings destroyed, and 100, 900 per.
sons rendered homeless-tl,e total pecuniary
loss lcing not less than $500. O00, 900; but
we have stiils great deal left. We may
roughly estimate the situation as follows:
About 81, 1000 persons have left the city $;
population remaining, 28O. 900.
Five grain elevators were burned, with
1,ooo, 900 bushels of grain; leaving US with
eleven grain warehouses intact, containing
6,000, 900 bushels.
One half of our stocks of pork products
were burned up, with the same proportion
of -four. ...
OF lumber, $4,000, 600 were burned; the
remaining is s40.V zoo, 600 feet.
Of coal, 80. 600 tons were burned up; we
have 1900 tons on hand.
Our stock of leather was decreased one
quarter, the value of that burned being
$95. 900.
The greater portion of the stocks of gro.
ceries, dry goods, and boots and shoes,
with more than one half Of the ready.
made clothing were burned up; but the
quantities destroyed were scarcely equal
to more than three weeks supply, aud are
now icing rapidly replaced
Not more than 10 per cent. of the curren.
cy was destroyed by the fire; we have 80.
600 houses left standing, and our real estate
could not burn up.
A careful average of these larger items,
with smaller ones that need not be enumer.
ated, shows that the city Of Chicago has suf.
fcred loss Of not less than twenty nor
more than twenty five per cent. on her
total assets, real and personal. The loss il
a great one, but so fur from irrctricvable
that we may confidently hope to see return
to former prosperity ere long. The ratio of
increase during the past. thirty. four years
h"s averaged ten and half per cent per
annum. This rate would restore the status
Of montls go within three years. Making
every due allowance for the terrible set. back
experienced, there can be no doubt that
five years hence. at most. the exhibi, of pop
ulatiOn, wealth, commerce and manufac.
lures will bc greater than q month ago
Already the city is rising from it's ashes at q
rapid rate, thanks to the large. e.hexrtcd lber.
aIity of our coun.rymen everywhere. and
tho rcsis,less energy of our own citizens.
Let the faint. hearted ones take courage; the
real workers have not wasted moment in
regret; after they have repaired their losses
there will be no occasion for it.-Caicogo

The st. Paul Pres says: The Mississippi
has almost dried up. The majestic river
whose magnificent volume two thousand
miles from its let, has been the theme
of the tourists admiration; so broad and
deep that it seemed some grand estuary of
the sea on which the navies of the world
might ride; has shrunk to mere ridiculou,
creek and it's thin and attenuated current
crawls lazily. as it were ashamed of its
shrunk shanks among low. red, bare, subma.
rine ridges and beaches of sand that have
not seen the sun before, 50 fur as human
knowledge goes, since God separated the
waters from the dry land. Tho water has
never been so low within the memory of
the Oldest inllabitsnt. Herds of cattle bask
in the sunshine, on tho dry bed of the great
waters, where q few months ago great fleets
of steamboats, rode ut will. Boys, with
their trousers rolled mp to their knees, sound
with their feet the grand mysterious depths
which have engulfed so many waywwd
boys and hapless men, whom accident Or
rashness has entangled in the strong, swift
undertow.

to do all the work herself. Every type in
this issue was set by her nimble fingers,
including the new advertisements, since our
last issue, and she has three columns over
for next week. And besides all this she
did big washing. read about fifty news

little ''printeress" declares her intention to
Get the whole paper herself. hereafter. And
