The champions Of Boston and cf Chicago
are hurling epethetS at each other for
daring to compare - your miserable little
singe with ours But Hartford quietly
steps in with "a bigger proportionate loss
than either Of you" The Cour9rf Of Nov.
10th says;
The loss to Hartford insurance offices, net,
by the Chicago fire, was about eleven and a
half millions of dollars, and by the Boston
fire the loss viii be about three millions,
making fourteen and a half millions by both
fires The two fires differ in character rs TO
local property interests, as great portion
of the building property in Chicago, before
the fire, was owned. and probably is still ,by
nOn-resident>. while in Boston the property
burned l. owned there. The loss 10 Boston
pr0pOrtiOnally l. greater than il was to Chi
cago, - far as local property interests are
concerned, and the loss by both fires falls
upon Hartford with more severity than
upon either Of the cities named In fgur

must be considered that large part is re-
stored by the payments of insurance com

ALL over India sweetmeats are con-

A native when travelling seldom eats
anything else: and between the two
great meals, at all times, he whiled
away the long neon of the Indian sum

between the whiffs of his dookab.
Large dishes of sweatmeats are very
comon presents to make on religious

A LYRIC OF LIFE,

Like a bird blown out to sea.
In the hurricanes wild track
Lost, wing-weary, beating back
Valnly toward fading shore,
1t shall rest on nevermore"
Said {: "Betide, some good ships ride
Over all the waters wide
Spread your wings upon the blast
Let it bear you far and fast:
In some sea serene and blue
Succor-ships are waiting you.
This soul then said: "Would were dead.
Bi)lows rolling DER my head
Those that sail the ships will cast
Storm-wa back into the blast
Omens evil will they call
What the hurricane let's fall. -
For my reply: Beneath the sky
Countless isles of beauty lie:
Waits upon the ocean thrown
After tossings long and lone,
To those blessed shores have come,
Finding there love, heaven, and home -
This soul to me "The seethiaa sea-
Tossing hungry under me-
l fear to trust; the ships fear,
L see no isle of beauty near;
The sun is blotted out-no more
Twill shine for me on any shore.
Once more said: "Be not afraid
Yield to the storm without dread;
For the tree, by tempests torn
From its native soil is borne,
Green, to where its ripened fruit
Gives sturdy forest-root.
" That which we lose We think we choose,
Oft, from slavery to use.
Shocks that break our chains, tho rude,
Open paths to highest good.
Wise, my sister soul, is she
Who takes of life the proffered key"
