RAILROAD AID.

1t is now pretty generally conceded on
all sides that the proposition of the Lake
Shore Railroad Company for city subscrip-
ton to the capital stock of said company
in the sum of $40, 900 bonds, to be issued
and draw interest after said road is com
pleted, will be accepted by our people 10y
very large majority. 1t is said that nearly
every business man inside our corporation
has acquiesced since understanding the
true conditions of our railroad affairs. The
two reasons we hear assigned the oftenest
are: LIST. because it has been pledged in
good faith by Mr.. Villas while making the
most strenuous efforts against very heavy
competition, which, by every rule of good
faith and common decency binds the whole
of the people. End. That by the prompt
voting of the bonds at this time we will
insure the building of the road to Two
Rivers twenty months sooner, at the yer
least, under any possible contingency, while
the interest on the bonds will not com
mence to accrue until after the iron is
laid and cars are running. While others,
of the best informed, claim that to refuse
this aid now would endanger our entire
railroad enterprise, and we think a majority
of our business men take this view. Long
and anxious waiting for railroad facilities
has made them more cautious and thought
full to keep things moving in the one direc-
ton towdrds progress. We think We
never saw so complete and radical a change
Of public opinion than has taken place
within the last ten days in this matter of
aid, and it is general among all classes. The
mechanic, with house and lot which he
wishes to sell for cash down, to put his
money into more active service, either in
jobbing it in his particular line, or in new
ventures, has come to the conclusion that
railroads are necessary to stimulate sures
and on reflection, has concluded that it is
not possible to build the Lake Shore Road
without increasing the taxable capital in
vested in this city to such an
extent that the surplus will actually
reduce instead of increasing
the tax already collected last year. This
seems hard for some to digest and under
stand, nevertheless such will be the inevta-
BILE results of our railroad enterprise. The
day laborcr is not exempt under this
phase of the situation, but as a general
thing, these men have learned by actual
every day observation that wherever there
is transportation, there is comparatively
increased wages for each day, labor, and
also better demand for such labor, and
hence always vote the tax. Although there
is an absence of all reckless enthusiasm.
our people seem determined that the enter
prise shall not be delayed by any ill-timed
hesitancies or omissions in matter
of such vital Importance to our city.

that Horace Greeley is honest, and it is
just possible that that requisite is yearly
becoming more necessary with the masses.
There are men in our city, who have al

they will never vote the ticket again if the

FLOWERS.

Flowers for the humble poor,
Flowers for the weak and lone;
Let them gently, gently fall
Where the weeds of toll are sown;
Lifting up foul discomfort
From the lonely tenement,
As the fainting toilers there
Catch breath of Heavens air.
Flowers: lay them BY the bed,
Where the restless sick are lying:
Let their freshness heal the air.
Wounded BY the sufferers signing;
Let his eye a moment rest
Where his seeing may be blessed.
Ere they mirgle their sweet breath,
With the heavy one Of death.
Flowers for the rich and proud;
Lay them in the costly room,
Where arts thick luxurian. air.
May from nature catch perfume
And like whispering angels start
Pity In the rich mans heart
Pity for some humble one,
Who of flowers and fruits hath none.
Flowers for each one Of earth,
Under and above the sod.
That the dead may sweeter sleep,
And the living think of God,
When we from our walks Of sin
See where his soft steps have been,
Leaving these to bless our eyes,
As a glimpse of Paradise
