We present our readers this week
a fine and correct picture of the new
building which The New York FRI
BUNE is now erecting, and which,
when completed, will oe by far the
largest and best equipped newspaper
office in the world. The TRIBUNE
was never better nor more prosperous
than at the present time, and its new
building is only one of many substan-
tial proofs Of its steady growth and
success. During the last Summer
The TRIBUNE has made itself the
freshest and newsiest, and most inter-
esting paper in ew-York having sew
cral times anticipated all its rivals in
the publications Of important news,
and actually beaten the Government

Bones in the Turkey.

suppose the age of clear meat
passed away when Adam and Eve
'.went and done it," and ever since
the infant age, there has been pile
of bones to pick. Men may labor
and sweat, ache and calculate, and
more or less bones are thrown into
his lest endeavors, and often it is all
bone. The evident design is, that
honest labor shall be rewarded but
we must always comply with natures
conditions, and make obeisance to the
rules, and laws of men. Men fail to
see the utility of the bone, they are
SO hungry for the clear meat. Our
prisons contain class Of men that
were so impatient they could not
wait for the turkey to grow, but went
for the clear meat. hope they have
some joy for they certainly have all
the bones.
There is an other class, Of cool,
calculating, thinking, sort lazy men
q envy them that never fret, never
hurry, have plenty Of time to grow
fat; are always careful about the land
ing-eyery time come right side up.
They can't scare the turkey of, and so
they come the nearest TO clear meat,
apparently without effort. They al
ways take their choice and pass the
bones over to Others to pick. An
other class Of men will labor year
after year, nearly for the bones, for
SO it comes out merely time, they can
not seem to calculate, how to preserve
the equilibrium, and go up on the long
arm OF the lever, not leaving so much
as bones, to pay their honest debts
Some men are always looking to the
feathers they are so beautiful, OF
made to appear so, they can't believe
they cover sharp and jagged bones
and SO in single trade turn them
selves and families out of doors anC
the first gust Of wind scatters thC
feathers, and they sorrowlully behold
the skeleton. know there are man,
things to counteract mans best eli
deavors. | know the "lean kline vii
come up" fron. many unseen quarter:
and terrible "lean" too. No signf
officer can foretell the rule of the elt
ments, no human hand holds The rag
ing pestilence, or can bid the sea "t
still" Therefore most men are sui
ject to losses. We should make moo
crate and careful estimates in all pro
pcctive business ransactions--allo
wide margin for the bones in ii
turkey, Profits oil paper are east
made, cir castles are easily bull
Why not use a little cool, caref
head work, look at things as they al
and not as they appear, and sa,
much sorrow to ourselves. and heal
aches from those that depend upon Il
The present, if never before, is teac
ing us that we must always make
large allowance for the bones in Il
turkey. for they arc dlsodys there. "

ON The DEATH OF ROBERT ii. HENDERSON
A FRAaMENr.


Mysterious Power, that rules tho fate Of men.
We humbly bow before thy dread DEGREES.
But u, how circuniscribed this mortal view!
How hard to search Thy ways, past finding out!
I saw young oak tree, whose spreading arms
Scarce sway ei before the wind much less
!ts sturdy trunk, deep rooted in the earth,
" stood stea fast and firm, tho bowling storms,
And raging tempests beat with fury 'gsinst it.
One crashing peal, one bolt from Heaven. and, 10
The forest's pride lis riven to its baee.
The tender vine which cIun e to its strong arms
And found support, now helpless lies.
one s whom knew was like the yong oak tree;
Bold as the bodes.. yet with woman q gentleness
he drew all hearts and made their love his own.
In all the glory OF his early prime he stood.
And wrestied with his duty's call .,-..
The summons came, by death q dark gel brought;
a nd tho the rising. sun bad no: yet poured
Upon him all the spiendor OF its beams
Yet he must answer TO the solemn call
And lay his burden down.
Myeterioas Power, thai ules the fate of men,
We humhly bo y before Thy read decree,
And say ,"Thy will be done.''
