VIII il pain me there forever,
VIII 1t leave me happy never.
This weary, weary gnawng of the Old dull
pain:
viii The sweet yet bitter yearning
That at NV heart is burning,
phlob on and on forever, and forever be i'll
vain:
. weary, weary longing,
O sad, sweet memories thronging
From the sunset-lighted woodlands of the dear
and holy past
Oh hope and faith undying,
Shall never cease from signing?
Must my lot among the shadows forevcrmore
be cast:
Shall I never see the glory
That the Chrst-knght of old story
SIR Gaahad, my hero, saw folded round his
sleep?
The full. completed beauty
With which God gids dull duty
For hearts that burn toward heaven from the
everlasting deep
From that conflict ceasng never.
From the toll increasing evert
From the hard and bitter battle with the cold
and Clilous world:
viii the sky grow never clearer:
VIII the hills draw never nearer
Where the golden city glitters in its rainbow
mists impaired?
All me, that golden city,
Can God then have no pity:
| have sought it with such yearning for 50 many
bitter years
And yet, the hills blue gmmcr,
And the portals golden simmer
Fade ever with the evening and the distance
never nears
Q weary. weary living!
for men unturgiving?
. enemies that meet me in the earth and IN the
air?
flesh that clogs my yearning,
weakness aye returning!
VIII We ever cease 10 trouble: viii We never,
never spare:
win nv soul never grow purer!
Will my hope be never surer?
VIII the mists wreahs and the cliffs gate from
my path be never rolled?
Shall / never, never gain it,
That last ecstatic minute,
When the journeys guerdon waits me behind
those hills of gold:
Alas the clouds grow darker,
And the hills loom ever starker,
Across the leaden mist screen of the heavens
dull and gray.
Thou must learn TO bear thy burden,
Thou must wait to win thy guerdon,
Until the daybreak cometh and the shadows
flee away.

MAKING IT WARM FOR HIM The Bur-
lington Hawkeye says the other night a
man who lives out in Columbia street
was kept down town by business until a
very late hour, and his wife, knowing how
cold he would be when he got home, put
an iron on the stove, and when she heard
him open the gate, jumped up and hur-
riedly wrapping the iron in a piece of han-
mel chucked it into bed for him to warm
his great ugly feet by. The man was cold
and taciturn and cross. He crawled into
bed with growl, and >shuddered with
cold as he stretched himself out Then he
gave yell that lifted the root off the
house. and jammed his head through the
head board, and screamed fire, and waltzed
out on the floor and around the room in
the dark, straddling rocking chairs and
breaking his shins on bureau corners, and
knocking down brackets with his shoulders,
and upsetting one or two things, and fill
ing the darkness with weird, fantastic
profanity When his wife lighted the
lamp they discovered beautiful photo
graph of flat-iron on the bottom of that
mans foot, and it was found that the flan-
mel had somehow got off the foot-warmer.
The man says that hereafter, if he must
sleep with a hardware store, he wants it
put in cold.

gESts's FIRE. n r. "a
CHICAGO, July 49, The total insurance on
losses by the l6re Of Tuesday night Is %. TIL
200. The estimate total salvage is 1882 1870.
and the net loss Is 1924, $40 aggregate loss,
g, 81, 2G0.
BODIES OF THE VICTIMS FOUND.
The bodies of two men and child were
discovered under the ruins of house No. 46t,
south Clarke street last evening, and taken
to the Norgue for Identification. They
were victims of Tuesdays fire.
LOSSES Ely WEDNESDAYS FIRE.
Among the losses by the fire of yesterday
are Dugan's Westinghouse and out-build-
ings, worth about Sc, 900, uninsured, and the
stock, valued ut $4,000, partially insured;
Katz & Miller's planning. mills, loss probably
$4,000; Breese's sash, door, und blind fac
tory. $4,000.
The insurance on all the buildings burned
was small.
Three attempts at incendiarism were dis
covered during the progress OF the fire.
The loss by this last fire in round num-
bers will exceed s20O,000. The buildings
burned are mostly wooden structures, occu-
pied almost entirely by foreigners. The To-
cation was Milwaukee avenue and Sangamon
ana au)acent SlreeCS.
CHICAGO CONCLUSIONS.
Readers who go through the voluminous
dispatches from Chicago, which we print
elsewhere this morning, will be apt to rise
from the perusal with three or four conclu.
sions pretty distinctly drawn.
l. No city is safe when surrounded with a
Gordon of wooden buildings, or with any
wooden buildings whatever in its denser
parts.
2. It is preposterous to talk about fire.
proof buildings, constructed with iron col
umEs supporting floors, or walls, with
wooden beams, with wooden lathirg, With
any wood about the roof, or without iron
shutters. Probably not one building in a
hundred, even Of the best in the rebuilt Chi
cngo, deserves to be called fire.proof; and
those which the last fire struck went down
as promptly as if the builders had never
heard of previous Que.
3. No great conflieration is going to be
subdued by fire department which follows
it instead of fighting 1t in front.
4. Chicago was rebuilt in advance of its
wants. Under ordinary circumstances it
would have taken from five to ten years for
its business and population to grow up to
the new houses. The last fire may to some
extent increase the demand for houses in the
rebuilt portion, and thus improve rents and
heighten the apparent prosperity Of the bet
ter part of the city.
5. The business of the country has stood
so many bard knocks Of late that ii takes far
more than such Chicago fire as this last TO
make much of Il panic, either in Chicago, in
New York, or anywhere else.-Nep York
Tribune. yesterday
