Boston VS.. Chicago.

In comparing the Boston and Chicago
fir r, the following details of the latter viii
prove interest ng: The Chicago fire began
at nine O'Clock Sunday evening, Octob-rs,
1871. and burned till midnight Monday,
lasting twenty-scven hours. The yaluc of
the property destroyed, including build
ings, merchandise and household properly,
was Slg3. 100000. The fire burned over an
area of about four mills in length and an
average of two thirds of a mile in breadth,
destroying li,4jO buildings, and rendered
$4,000 persons houseless. The property
DESTROYED was insured for Sl00,O00,OOO :
tie losses claimed amounting to about
81 900, COO LEES. or the sum due, s31 OOO,-
900 has been paid, and there is fair pros
pect of SIC 100000 more, if some compa'
MES are not overwhelmed by the great fir,
in Boston. The loss of life was happily
small in Chicago, and the generosity o
the world enabled the local committees t.
disburse more than S2,000,00O in relief.

The heaving bellows pants no more;

" ide open stands the furnace door;
The ashes on the hearth are chill
The noise, the labor aud the heat are DER.
The pale light Of the waning day
Through dim and smoky windows falls,
hnd CLEANS with melancholy gray
On scattered tools and blackened walls;
The weary wOrkmen all have gone away.
But on the pedestal, behold
There stands the statue Of man
A bronze as perfect-pure as gold
Completion of the artists plan,
Shape in the heat consummate from the
mold.
Oh thou through toll and furnace hres
Surged Of the dross that mhrred thy youth
And nodded to divine desires
By master-hand Of love and truth,
TIL all thy being to the best aspires.
Thy earthly house that saw thy prime
Alive with busy thought and hand
Is empty now. But thou sublime
Shalt In thy souls fair image stand,
And smile at fate and all the change oftime
