of Chicago are not ungratefnl. Look,
ing at the magnificent buildings erected
on the site of the ashen desert of year
ago, and the countless improvements
which could never have been made but
for the clean sweep of distractions by
the fire, they turn with grateful hearts
towards Mrs. OLeary, whose COW and
kerosene lamp combined caused the
confagration, and propose TO give
grand ball for the benefit of that lady,
the proceeds to be devoted to reinsti-
ting her in her former position and con-
dition, and to the purchase OF another
cabin, COW and lamp.

DCAD THIS. BOYS.

4 gentleman advertised for a boy to
assist him in his Office, and nearly nifty
applicants presented themselves to HIM.
Out of the whole number, he in short
time. selected one and dismissed the rest.
i should like to know, said friend,
son what ground you selected that boy,
who has not single recommendation!
You are mistaken, said the gentle,
man: he had great many. lie wiped
his feet when be came in, and closed the
door after him, showing that he was
careful. He gave up his seat instantly
TO that lame. old mai, showing that he
was kind and thoughtful. He took off
his cap when he came in, and answered
nv questions promptly and respectfully,
showing that he was polite and gentle
manly. He picked up the book which
l had purposely laid on the hoor, and
replaced it on the table, while all the
rest stepped over it or showed; and he
waited quietly for his turn, instead of
pushing and crowding, showing that ne
was honest and orderly. W hen spoke
to him, l noticed that his clothes were
carefully brushed, his hair in nice order,
and his teeth as white as smilk; and when
he wrote his name, noticed that nm
ger-nails were clean, instead of being
tipped with jet, like that handsome 1T
tie fellow in the blue jacket. Dontyou
call these things letters Of recommenda-
ton | do. and / would give more Tor
what could tell about boy by using
my eyes ten minutes than all the letters
he can bring me.
