SUNBEAMS.

O! sunbeams, so beautiful,
Born Of that light,
Whose radiance scattereth
Earth's deepest night,
Clean in thy splendor,
Der all the world.
And let the bright banner
or morn be unfurled.
Leave thy bright home,
In the far dim away,
And light up this earth
With the beautiful day;
Glance Ger the eyes, sbst
In darkness have slept,
While the night and the ssars
Their vigils have kept.
kec3H inc SNSSL oUA'SS'
With thy glitterins<oesms;
That the night stole away.
To the dim land Of dreams,
Oh, bid them come back,
And with love re-ilIume,
The hearts thst bereft
Sink in desolate gloom.
Beam in thy brightness.
From thy fair some;
And like some sweet magic.
Bid the night time beSone,
Then awaken the birds
From their silent repose,
That folded their wings
With the sof. evenings close.
Shipe in thy softness,
O, beautiful beams!
And gid with thy radiance
Earth's brooklets and streams;
Kiss each fair flower,
That in the valley or glade,
In modest seclusion,
It's sweet home hath made.
Open their eyes
TO the beautiful day,
And bid them look up
4, To the blue far away;
To the hand of the sun,
In whose beautiful bowers;
Night never falls,
On the innocent flowers.
o, sunbeams Of hope,
Shine brightly once more
On those whose frail barks
Lse wrecked on life's shore;
Ilfumine the waste,
OF each sorrowfnl soul;
Where the Beacon ex:inguished.
The dark waters roll.
O, saubeams of love,
The brightest and best,
That shine Ger the heart,
In the life Of unrest,

In the Infinite One
And shed thy bright blessings
O'er Earth's sorrow-worm.

So faithful and pure,
That raught can extiaguish
On Times fading saore;
Blessed beams that seem lit

AMERICAN COMMERCE.

Whatever the important figures
which we publish below may mean
when they shall be carefully analyzed,
we can, at least, state one fact with
confdence-that We are living more
upon ourselves than in former years
During the eleven months of the year
ending November 80, 1872, We i'm
ported, in round numbers, S634. .000,-
900 worth Of foreign goods, while du-
ring the same period for 1873 We
bought but S590,000,000 worth of
goods abroad, showing diminution Of
S44. 100000. While We exported but
S491 100000 in 1872, last year We
found customers for s5f3, 100000, or
$50, 100000 in favor of American
products. Thus 4 sum of money
reaching the imposing figure of s96,
100000 remained in the United States
during the year 1878, while in 1872
this amount went to enrich foreign
peoples. We regard this as an en-
couraging sign, although it is due to
many financial complications and legis-
lative enactments which We will not
name at this time. A review of the
number aud tonnage of vessels shows
gratifying progress also, l,4O0 more
vessels having entered our ports in
1873 than during the previous year,
while there was a like number of
clearances in excess Of those of 1872.
The figures: as reported by the Bureau
of Statistics. are as follows:-

CHTCAGO'S sIERY FATE.

Chicago Is burning. Such was the
startling information flashed over the
wires last night, carrying consterna-
ton and sadness 70 the uttermOst
parts Of the country and exciting a
thrill of sympathy for a people
who have challenged the admiration Of
the civilized world by the courage
and energy they have displayed IN OBJ
Iiterating the traces of the terrible dis
aster which befen their city less than
three years ago.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
the fire last night originated within
seven squares Of that of 70, on a d.
rect liEe east and west, and that its
general course was in precisely tie
same direction. The fire broke out in a
paint shop at the corner Of Clark and
Twelfth street at $50 last evening, and
ut II o'clock had reached jackson
street, sweeping everything beforeit, be-
tween Clark ndWabash avenue. Among
the buildings destroyed were the First
Baptist Church, Postofice, Gardner
House, St. James, Continental, Michi-
gan Avenue Hotel and the Adelphia
Theatre.
At the time our dispatches close-a
1:37-the fire is reported to be under
control. If this should prove to be
true. the Potter Palmer House, Expo
sition Building and Iater-Oceaa Office,
have barely escaped destruction. The
losses viii probably mount into the
millions.

JOHN MITCHELL.

NEW York, July l4.-Jno. Mitchell.
the exile, who sails TO-DAY for Ireland to
engage in the politics of thai country, SAYS
that 10 good can come to Ireland from tie
British Parliament, and that Ireland can
never be prosperous or happy till she has
complete control OF her own destinies. and
the connection with England entirely seg-
cred. With regard 10 the present home
rue movement he thinks il does not
represent the real hopes and aspirations
Of the people. that il is a Sickly and
nervous effort to patch up the national
quarrel in a incomplete and unsatisfactory
manner. He considers the whole move
ment mere milk-aud-water kind of ma
tional effort. He will not place himself in
antagOnism withthe Home Rule movement.
but he intends to demonstrate TO England
and to the world that there is something
stronger and more determined in Ireland
than Home Rule. He has a firm convic-
tion that England will never grant seIf-sOv-
eminent till forced to do so, and that
all her deluSiye concessions to Ireland
have been wrung from her by force or the
fear of it. He himself will seek the suf-
frages Of the people on the broad principle
Of Ireland light to complete independence.
He has a belief that the British Govern
ment will not arrest him, but should they
do SO he is prepared to take the conse-
quences.

GEN. JOSEPH HOOKER is credited
with saying that he is prepared to
show that the heaviest grab Gen B.
Z. Butler ever made was while he was
in command of the negro troops on the
James River m Virginia. He says that
Butler issued ord RS at that time re-
quiring al the officers and men Of the
cOlored regiments to leave their money
at his headquarters to be taken care of.
When a man -Sas shot, Hooker says,
the money lzft with Butler was never
heard of gain, and he estimates that
the latter made at least million dol:
lars IN this way.
