FOR the HxRALDs
THE IDEAL AND THE REAL.

By JARED JALLAP.
Long years ago young man sat
Dreaming dream Of Life;
And he fancied the future held for him
Wealth, fame and a lovely wife.
"None OF your common girls want,
I'll marry queen, said he,
"With golden hair and beauty rare
Oh! lovely queen she'll ben
'Not all the wealth Of Vanderbilt
Shall be compared to mine; 49,
Wen roll in gold and wealth untold,
In diamonds she shall shine,
"Some sail the Sea OF Life with scarce
A breeze to fill their sails;
I'll make the journey swift and sure,
Borne on by strongest gales,
And while they 6sh for sprats and cells
I'll bob for sharks and whales.n
'I'll astonish the world, p this young m an said
And his form in thought was bent.
And he fancied himself congressman.
And then president.
But time has flown, and that young man
lisa man of forty years;
And the castles he built have tumbled down
In ruins round his ears
A butcher shop and peanut stand
He keeps upon X. Street,
And grinds at night the village purps
Up Ia TO sausage meat
Some little dogs are very good.
And very useful too.
And answer well when beefis scarce
To help the butcher through
Eight children eat their scanty fare
And bawl around for more,
And hunt among the peanut shells
For kernels on the floor.
His wife has pimples on her nose,
voice of harshest sound,
freckled face, ana fire red hair,
And weighs two hundred pound;
And everybody says its sad
The way she mauls him round.
She chases him up stairs and down
And underneath the bed
Flat-irons, stove wood, and ali SIGH,
She then filings at his head;
And he gets up and humps himself.
Trying to get away,
And crawls up in the kitchen loft
And stays there half the day;
And for to save his precious life
He has to watch and pray.
This is the queen of which he dreamed,
In his youthful dream so sweet,
He don't dream now but turns crank
And grinds his sausage meat
Well, life is strange our prospects bright
In after years may fall
We may ride in a coach and six,
Or may ride on rail.

usual was in the Eastern markets early in the

This has naturally increased his already
large business, and when GLOBE reporter
called at his store yesterday he found it
thronged with customers, all eager to obtain
some of the choice articles.
Another comfortable point in trading with
MIR. Matheis is the feeling that you can rely
upon the statements made by his house.
When you have the greatest possible variety
of patterns from which to select, and the
lowest prices which the market affords, all
that is necessary has been secured. These

Tho Fairmont Hunt and the State Fair.
The following letter from Mr.. Arthur

English gentlemen who have kindly con-
sented to take charge Of the hurdle racing,
steeple chasing, ETC., at the State fair to be
held in this city the first week in September
explains itself:
TIE LAIR, FA1RMoET, Martin Co., MINI.
April %, 1873.
TO the Editor of the Globe.
SR:-On my return from England after q
short absence, perceive the article relating to
us in your issue of the 10th inst.
Whilst we are at all times willing to do all in
our power to conduce to the good of manly
sports, and intend, having accepted your kind
invitation to the State Fair in September next. to
do all In our power to show you some good
fun in hurdle racing, steeplechasing etc., we
feel bound IA duty to ourselves, to say that our
horses and hounds, though very we'll bred. are
with few exceptions, not English stock. but
were got from Kentucky and Virginia.
With regard to our four oar we must have it
understood that our club is not yet formed,
any OF our men ever rowed together, but still
we trust to be able to get fair crew to repre-
sent us at your regatta.
Trusting that you will publish this, in order
that when we come to ST. Paul, the large gath
ering, that you doubtless will have will not be
disappointed with our endeavors to please
them. am, sir, yours very truly,
ARTHUR LYON, NJ. F. II.
On behalf of the Fairmont Hunt.
1t will be observed that MIR. Lyon, for
himself and the gentlemen Of the Hunt, does
not intend that the crowds attending shall
be deceived, in the slightest, as to the part
they are to take in furnishing attractions at
the State fair. 1t may be remarked, howev-
or, that probably no one attending the fair,
would expect from the announcements made
in the GLOBE, that the hurdle-racing, steple-
chasing and similar sports placed in the
hands of these gentlemen, would be repro
duced here in all the perfection witnessed in
the mother country. It is expected, how
ever, that by giving the details of arrange
ment and execution into the hands of Mr..
Lyon and his associates gentlemen familiar
with the sports from their early boyhood, and
known enthusiasts in their following
that these features of the Fair would be got
ten up and produced in a style of perfection
in arrangement and exciting execution never
before witnessed in the Northwest, and the
manly letter of Mr.. Lyon, with its hearty
acceptance for himself and his associates of
the task urged upon them by the State soci-
ETY., is most satisfactory guarantee that
there will be no ground for disappointment
in these particulars.
