A TRUTHFUL SKETCH,

Let man fail in business, what
an effect 1t has on his former credi-
tors Men who have taken him by
the arm, laughed and chatted with
him by the hour, shrug their shouI--
ders, and pass on with cold .'How
do you do ?"
Every trife of bill is hun ted up
and presented, that would not have
seen the light for months to come,
but for the misfortune of the debtor.
Ii it is paid, we'll and good ; if not,
the scowl of the sheriff, perhaps,
meets him at the corner. A man
that has never failed knows but little
of human nature.
In prosperity, be sails along gen
thy, waited by favoring smiles and
kind words from everybody. He
prides himself on his name and spot
les character, and makes his boast
that he has Lot an enemy in the
world. Alas, the change I. lie
looks at the world in a different light
when reverses come upon him. He
reads suspicion on every brow. He
hardly knows how to move, or 10 do
this thing or the other there are
spies about him; writ is ready for
his back. To know what kind of
stuff the world is made of, a person
must be unfortunate, and stop pay
ing once in his lifetime. If he has
kind friends, then they are made
manifest. A failure is moral sieve
it brings out the wheat and.shows
the chat. A man thus learns that
words and pretended good will are
not and do not constitute real TREND
ship.

CHICAGO.

EFrom B. f. Faylor's poem at the Rockford Fai
A wide-winged bird, schooner brown,
Swan shoreward in lazy way,
And shook her lifted plumage down,
Where ia a wild-rice cradle lay,
As tender as a water-cress,
The Moses ofthe wilderness 4
An empty Egypt lay in sight,
No Sphinx to stare the ages out,
No Pharaoh nor Israeite.
A painted savage lounged about,
A paddle in his gray dng-out.
And watched the child beside the lake;
Fort Deavborn's guns were marble mute,
The world e0Gtked in by trail and wake,
As silent as naked foot,
All, pick ct line beyond the Law,
Where cloudless nights W ere such boon,
For half the year the sentry saw
His nearest neighbor in the moon
This Moses rent his swad ding bands,
He sprang upon his youthful feet,
And beckoning to the drowsy lands
Made half the world CHICAGO street,
THAI found at last, where'er it went,
The gateway Of the contE ent.
Some Samson gave mighty lift
And sent the ponderous gates adrift.
BY dust and wave, by wheel and sail,
And glittering wake and ringing rail,
In cloud and calm, and day and night,
In numbering vain, and lightning train
That flies as if it's load were light,
The engines with their hot simeon
ThroO redly through the midnight gloom,
The genii pant, the giants row,
The hosts are going West to grow
The world is coming up the road
The highway clear, the gateway broad
monotone from farthest West
Was it a growI of heavy breath
Though White Nevada's snowy teeth?
Or murmur from a Thunder's nest?
Or echoes of the coming world
From Rocky Ranges backward hurled ?
Like trumpet's mouth the opening roar.
1t widens, deepens, more and more.
Until, behold in Heightened line,
With fragrant leaves and silken shine,
The train from CHINA at the door
And all the while the nerves of wire
Are thrilled with quick electric fire
And East and West talk back and forth
Round the great circles of the earth
With instant words that never wait,
Like lovers at a garden gate
When roses blow aud moon ia late
