Twas night in the beautiful city,
The famous aud wonderful city,
The proud and magnificent city,
The Queen Of the North and the West,
The riches Of nations were gathered in wond-
rous and plentiful store
The swift-speeding bearers Of Commerce we're
waiting on river and shore
The great staring walls lowered skyward, with
visaRe undaunted and bold,
And said, "Ws are ready 0 Winter come on
with your hunger and coldl
Sweep down with your storms from the North
ward come out from your ice-guarded lair !
Our larders have fsod for nation ! our ward
robes have clothing to spare !"
Far od from the corn. baded pruirles, and out
from the valleys aud bills,
The farmer has swept us his harvests, the mill
Ter has emptied his mills,
And here In tho lap Of eur city, the treasures
Of Autumn shall rest
In godenorowned glorious Chicago, the Queen
VI the North and the WestI.

Then quickly the swift-bresthing city,
The fearful and panic-struck city,
The startled and fire deluged city,
Rdshed back from the South and the West,
And loudly the fire bells were Changing, aud
ringing their funeral notes
And loudly wild accents of terror came peAling
from thousands Of throats
And loud was the wagons deep rumbling, and
loud tue wheels claiter and creAk,
And loud was the calling for succur from
those wEo were sighIless and weak
Aud loud were the hoOfs Of the horse, and loud
was the trampling Of feet,
Aud loud was the gales ceaseless ling
Through the hre-lighted alley aud street
But louder, yet louder, the crashing Of roofs
and Of walls as they fell,
And louder, yet louder, the rearing that told
Of the coming of hell.
The Fire-king threw back his black mantle
from on his great bluod-dappled breast,
And sneered in the face OF Chicago, the Queen
OF the North aud the West.

The turbulent vie laden city,
The Sin-compassed, rogue haunted city,
Though Queen OF the North aud the West
Aud low in their caves Of pollution great beasts
Of humanity growled,
And over his monsy-strewn table the gambler
bent nefcely, and scuWled
And men with no seeming Of manhood, with
countenance flaming and fell,
Drank deep from the hre-laden fountains that
spring from the rivers of hell
And men with seeming Of manhood, who
dreaded the coming VI day,
Prowled, cat-like, for blood purchased plunder
from men who were better than they
And men with no seeming of manhood, whose
dearest crayed glory was shams,
Whose joys were the sorrows Of others, whose
harVests were acres OF flame,
Skunk, whispering and low, in their corners
with bowie and pistol tRht-pressed,
In rogue-haunted, sin-cursed Chicago, though
Queen OF the North ami the West.

And maidens wers dreaming Of pleasures and

And scanning the brightness aud glory OF joys

And tiresides were cheerful and happy, and

Aud plying angels looked downward, and

And longed to reach forth deliverance, aud
