The following poem. though written som
years ago, has never appeared In print uni,
We pain, to-faorrow's joys each day
:, With Hopes high colcrs fraugbi.
But like the rninhow's pranSicnt ray
They are of yador wrought.
What charms the eye eiudes the grasp,
Like floating bubbles all,
When to o1r arms the joys VIC clasp,
To nothlngness they fall.
As sunsets golden rohrs are spread
Ger shining hili-tnps near.
let when the sliitering peaks we tread
They further of appear.
So all that's br'gh; on earth rccedes
Is we pursue ifs fiightt
To final disappointment leads.
And sinks IN shades of.night.
When lifted from the vaes below
The spirit scars away.
Ahnve thu mountain tops OF snow
Witch hide Eternal day.
Earth's disappointments then no moro
Shall darsen hope with night;
The suns Unbrokeu beams shall pour
In floods Of living light.

A Rcmcdy for Hard T'iEs,es.

The editor of the Bureau, H.,
Republican writes in reference to
the hard times, of which consider
able is heard in different portions
of the country. The editor thinks
there are other causes for the gen.
eral complaint than the exactions
Of the railway monopolists, and
there is too much scheming to get
living without rendering an
equivalent in honorable labor.
"Our boys" he says, "are not learn
ing useful trades our farmers sons
are crowding into the small towns
and cities seeking after positions
as clerks: our girls refuse to do
homework, and so we are sending
to Europe for wOrkmen, and buy
ing Of their artiZans millions worth
Of products and manufactures that
we ought to make for ourselves.
Though our crop Of rascals is heavy,
we do not grow our hemp; though
we are oycrrun with lads who de-
serve fagellation, we import our
willows. Our woman unless we
are greatly deceived) shine in for
eign fabrics, and our men are dress
ed in foreign clothes. We are like
the farmer who hires his neighbours
sons to chop his wood, feed his
stock, aud run his errands, while
his own sons loaf around saloons
and spend their time in playing
billiards and gambling, and then
wonders why, in spite of his best
efforts, lie sinks annually deeper
and deeper into debt, till the sher-
if cleans him out, and he starts
West to begin again. The time
has come for us to turn over a new
leaf. Our boys and girl must be
taught to love labor by qualifying
themselves to DO it efficiently. We
must turn out fewer professionals,
and more skilled artisans and pro-
duccrs. We must grow and fabri-
cate the immense quantity Of az
ticles that we row annually import,
and 50 reduce the foreign debt
that we have so long and so sue
cessfully augmented year by year.
We must qualify our clever boys
to erect and run factories, saw-mills,
rolling-mills, machine-shops, tan
neries, to open and work mines,
improve and fashion implements
and double the product of the
farms. If we shall adopt this poll
cy, and then take such measures az
will correct the abuses growing out
Of our mammoth railway privileges
we shall witness q true develop
ment Of national prosperity thai
will be as firm as the everlasting
hills"

had reached lonia street on the east:
that part of the city lying on the
brow of the hills was in danger.
The fire struck in just north of
Henry Breemer's house on Ionia
street, and burned everything clean
to Trowbridge street. The Hook
and Ladder Company having sue
ceeded in getting to the northward
OF the fire, commenced to do work

down; ladders were placed so as to
afford means for reaching roofs to
place wet blankets OF to wet down
with buckets Of water. Christ's
brewery and malt house were now
in flames, and it was an impossible
ity to reach them, as they were sur
rounded by burning buildings. The
streets were clogged with household
goods, burning fences and flaming
wrecks of buildings. Meanwhile
the hydraulic works from Com
stocks kept drenched with water

north of Trowbridge street. Paits
were furnished to all from Com
stocks pail works, and impromptu
fire brigades organized. All work.

The Mayor on Sunday evening
issued the following proclamation
TO the Citizens OF Grand Rapids.
The fire fiend has again visited us with

portant and thriving portion Of our city.
Important i'll that the numerous tene-

calamity, which was attended with loss
Of life as well as property, and to the end
that such assistance may be rendered as
may be deemed proper, | do call Il meet

held at the Council room, Monday after

measures for the relief Of the destitute
as may beflccmcd advisable.

conAagration which consumed over
one hundred buildings, and made
many people homeless. The fol-
lowing is from the Grand Rapids
Democrat of Sunday evening:
To-day, about A o'clock p. H., G.
II. Reyes, hostler at the Bridge
Street House barn, discovered
straw, between the hotel and barn
on fire, and Immediately gave the
alarm. Despite the efforts of those
first on the spot, the flames COM
municated with the barn building,
and before the fire engine could
reach the spot, the barn was swept
in fiery sheet. The long dry, hot
weather had rendered the buildings
in this locality dry as a tinder-box,
and before the department could
get fairly to work the flames had
jumped Kent street, and were rap
idly spreading in a northeasterly
direction aided by brisk south.

the alarm sounded, about 80 build.

were taking large and rapid leaps
up Kent and Ottawa streets on tho
north and Hastings street on tho
east. kilograms were sent by the
Mayor to Charlotte, Kalamazoo
Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Ionia
The lines being burned on the De-
troit d Milwaukee line, no answer
could be received. Grand Haven
and Muskegon responded with en-
gines, and Kalamazoo having no
engines, offered to send all the hose
that would be required; Charlotte
did not respond, probably owing to
not getting the telegram.
At s o'clock II seemed as if that
portion of the city from Bridge
street on the south TO the northern
limits was doomed. The wind still
held in the southwest, and was gain

that IL could not be approached

Two weeks since we published

ing, and the editor OF the Bay City
Tribune, who looks at the matter
in sensible light as tho following
will show, gives some very reason
able ideas concerning this kind
of letters to be paid for by giving
free passes to editors over the Bur-
lington and Missouri River Rail
road. Cheap-a rhoie railroad
pass through vast forest, for the
simple free use Of any paper in any
locality! We don't want rail
road ride at present:
For the last two years or more
the country papers of this, and
neighboring States, have frequent
ly contained articles giving very
roseate views Of life in Nebraska.
These articles have borne various
headings, such as "Out West"
"Emigrant's Home" "Stock Rails
ing in Nebraska etc, etc, and
were all designed to prove that
Nebraska was the poor mans par
adise, to which everybody ought
to emigrate instanter. They all
emanated from the prolific pen of a
certain Prof. j. ID. Butler, of whom
no one ever heard until he began
writing for the papers. For some
time we were puzzled to know why
he should take such friendly in
terest in many Of our Michigan
papers as to furnish a large share
of their "copy.' a careful con-
sideration of his articles, however,
convinced us that he was the agent
Of some Nebraska land company,
and that "Prof. Butler" was merely
a pseudonym, intended to hide his
real character. Now the secret is
out ; the Alpena ARGUS, which
to its credit be it said-has never
published any of the articles, ac-
knowledges their receipt in print
ed form, intended for editorials, from
the Burlington & Missouri River
Railroad Company. The whole
thing is an advertising dodge, for
the benefit of a Nebraska railroad,
to which, either through inadvcrt-
ence of laziness, various Michigan
publishers have given countenance.
We cannot conceive why Michigan
editors should lend their columns to
the furtherance Of any such scheme
for Nebraska, when our own State
offers such superior inducements
to cmigrants, and has so many ir-
terests which arc yet 20 he devel-
oped. When Michigan farmers
burn their corn, and can find 10
market for their stock, when our
immense forests are exhausted, and
our salt wells dry, when our coal,
copper, and other minerals, arc all
mined, and our magnificent farm
ing lands cease TO be productive,
we shall ADVISE our readers to go
to Nebraska OF some other God-for-
saken western Wilderness. The
ARGUS well says: 1--WE are pub
fishing the ARGUS in tho interest
of the people of this county, not
Nebraska, and to the people of
Alpena we would say, never throw
away a good home and good bus
mess for something you know moth
ing about"
