BOYS, LISTEN TO THIs.-True as the
gospel is the following, said BY Robert
Collyer Of Chicago.
at is true that the working success
full men of to-day were once poor. in
dustrious, self-reliant boys. And the
same thing will be repeated-for from
the ranks of the hard working, eco
nomical, temperance and persevering
boys of to-day, will emanate the pro-
gressive prominent men of the future.
Every man doing any sort of work
in Chicago TODAY, was raised poor
mans son, and had to fight his way to
his place. Not one of them. as | can
ascertain. WAS a rich mans son and
had good time when lie was boy.
All boys should grow AS strong as 4
steel bar fighting their way on to an
education, and then, plunge into life
with that traditional half dollar and a
little bundle tied w in red handker-
chief, AS have known great men to
start. l tell you, that in five and
twenty Years, when most of us that
are in our middle age have gone to re-
tribution, the men of mark in this
country will not be the sons of those
whose fathers can give them all they
wish for. and ten times more than they
ought to have, but will be those who
are brought up in the farm houses and
cottages, and cutting their way through
the thick hindrances of every sort !;
and all the brown stone houses of this
metropolis will be as nothing to spring
| out the mob lie man."

The attendance on Monday evening at
Hancock Hall. upon the exhibition of the
scholars of the High School was thin.
owing in part TO the unfavorable weather.
The exercises were on the whole credit
able TO the scholars. and far superior in
character. and we may say in every respect,
TO the entertainment given by the school
a few months ago. We trust that similar
entertainment to that will never again be
attempted by the school. Low comedy,
farce and Pantomine, are hardly the parts
in which we should be proud to know that
our scholars eXcelled.
On Monday evening the music and sing
ing OF the young Misses were pronounced
excellent by competent judges. The Com
positions were good. but would have been
more interesting IL each author had read
his or her own production, aud greater
variety of subjects had been chosen. The
Declarations Of the lads we're naturally
and clearly given. and needed nothing but
more force and lite to have made them
admirable. The selections from Long

fair criticism would. we think be that
the tones of the voices of the young ladies
were too monotonous, almost amounting

variety. would have added greatly TO the
recitations. The lack of these particularly
in the young. is always tedious, if not pain
full. to the listener The ihoroughness
with which both boys and girls had
memorized their selections, was commend
able. We noticed the careless pronunci-
alton of few words. which shoul1 not

attractive, than those sensational and
ludcrous scenes, which are admired by
the thoughtless and the ignorant. There
was one feature of the exhibition. worthy
of all praise, namely. the uuexceptionable

tornado seemed to be from the northeast.
and It's track was scarcely seventy yards
wide, sweeping directly through the centre
ui the town. Houses were utterly demolsh-
ed and blown away, leaving the bare walls
standing twisted and distorted IN all man
ner OF shapes: brick walls, buildings and
chimneys were blown down. Missiles
were sent through the sir.such as timbers.

force. The occasion altogether beggars
description. Persons injured, l.. Sude-

WAS burned. After the storm was spent the
widest disorder prevailed. the fire bells
rang and the people rushed hither and
thither. II was miraculous that in al the
destruction of houses with families in
them, which were SO destroyed tina. no one
stone was LEFT upon another. that only one
life was lost. There were numbers of mar
row escapes and great many persons in
jured, more or less. There is no calculating
at present the amount of damage done to
