ENDURANCE.
How much the heart may bear and yet not break!
How much the flesh may suffer and yet not die.
1aueseion much If any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that il worn
All evils can be ooane.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel Steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering life,
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh is torn.
This also can be borne.
We zee a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching Ill;
We seek some small escape; we weep and pray:
But when the blow doth fall. our hearts are STILL
NOT that the pain is OF lts sharpness shorn,
But yet it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
Wehold it closer, dsarer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving US sad, stunned, stricken and alone.
But. All: we do not die with those we mourn;
This Also can b: borne.
Behold. We live through all things-famine thirst.
Bereavement. pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and SORROW; life intiicts its worst
On soul and body-but it cannot die,
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and worn

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Cooler Weather Needed to Give Tone to Trade
COLLECTIONS Somewhat Easier

Cooler Weather Needed to Give Tone to Trade
COLLECTIONS Somewhat Easier.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct %.
Commercial travellers who came in tonight
from their weekly trips report trade alttle ofish
and express the opinion that few days of cool
weather would improve trade, as it would put
the corn in better shape to move, and, as well,
encourage packers to commence hog killing, and,
in turn, the movement of their crops would in
crease the distribution of money, While col
lections are easier, country merchants complain
of the hardness of farmers in paying their bills.
So far as prices are concerned there is little
that is worthy of note to-day. The
drug trade is looking up some
what, the inquiry being greater. The strong
market noted for quinine in our last has been
more than maintained. Foreign has again ad
vanced, and further advance in both domestic
and foreign is looked for. The sugar market is
rather quiet prices tending lower. The market
for Rio coffee has been excited and higher during
the week, and considerable speculative buying
has occurred. This has been based upon
stronger market in Havre, continued small
receipts at Rio and increased purchases,
which have reduced the stocks there to BOG. 600
bags; and advices from Rio state that the pres
ent crop is much overestimated. Spices range
higher, on an increased demand. Stocks re-
ported rather limited The tea market is quiet;
prices, however, are we'll maintained. The
leather market is firm all along the line. In the
hide market there is considerable activity.
While prices are no higher, they are firm.

able character to-day about the local market.
