A DUToHMANIN TBoUBLE.-A few

into his head that he would tap a barrel
Of lager. Preparing, himself with a

the final blow and sending the spig0t in
fast aad secure, he kept tapping it until
the cork went in and the lager spirited
out, drenching the ceiling overhead and
nearly drowning Bill with the frothiug,
seething mess that covered him from
head to foot. The shock was SO great
that the spigot few out of his hand be-

spu,tered Bill, as he frantically clawed
one finger into the hole in vain at

he cried, in smothered tone. sAin't

tinued, to the yelling crowd, who were
nearly dying with laughter. you let a

wheeled around, aud sitting down on

Listning Angels.
BY CHARLES DICKENS

Blue against the hlucr heavens
Stosd tho mountain calm anil still
Two white angels. bending earthward,
Lcant upon the hill.
Listening leapt those silent angels.
= And l, also. lonyed to hear
Whnt swect strain Of earthly music
:. Thus could Charm their ear.
heard the sound of many trumpots,
And war like march draw nigh;
Solemnly a mighty army
Passed. in osdcr by.
But tho clang had ccasel; the echo
Soon had faded from the hill;
While tho angels, calm and earnest,
Leant and listened still.
Then heard fainter c'amor;
Forge and wheel were clashins near,
And the reapers in the meadow
Singing loud and clear.
When the sunset came in glory,
And the toll of day was DER,
Still tho angels leant in silence,
Listening as before.
Then, f&S daylight slowly vanished,
And the evening mists grew dim.
SOlemnly, from distant voices,
Rose.a vesper hymn.
Bat the chant was done, and lingering,
Died upon the evening air;
Yet from the hill the radiant angels
Still were listening there.
Silent came the gathering darkness,
Bringing with it sleep and rest;
Save little bird was singing
In her leafy nest.
Through the sounds of war and labor,
She had warbled all day long,
While the angels leant and listened
Only 20 her song.
But the' starry night vas coming,
And she ceased her little lay;
Fromthe mountain tops the angels
S!S"!J PASSED away.

Restoring the Old landmarks.

The wholesale heavy hardware house of
Hall, Kimbark & Co: have removed into their
new store on the old site, 80 to "a Michigan
massive iron and stone-front build
ing, 60x190 feet, with six floors, admirably
lighted, railways, elevators, and all the appli-
ances for handling their immense stock of
iron, steel, nails, spikes, bolts, horseshoes,
vises, anvils, wagon and carriage wood mate
rails and carriage hardware. Their store is
heated by steam, and has all the conveniences
for receiving, storing, packing and shipping
goods which the experience of twenty-five
years in the business could suggest.
They have a larger and more complete
stock, and sell more goods in their particular
line. than any house in the United States.
Their enterprise. integrity and fair dealing
have made their firm name a synonym for up
rightness among Western merchants. Their
trade is so directly connected with productive
industry that its large and rapidly increasing
volume measures the development and pros
perity of the West. To such as they Chicago
is indebted for the preservation of its mer-
camille honor in its late fairy trial, and for
the marvellous restoration which makes the
New Chicago the wonder of all beholders.-
