which was built by a stock company for the
Young Mems Christian association, but lately
occupied by the Spencerean Business college
and HerZOg's Opera house, a dime museum
concern, was burned up Sunday morning.
The earlier woman suffrage conventions
were held in this hail, and Col lngersoll used
at one time to lecture there. But the place
did not pay and it was decided that its
dedication to religious purposes was being
violated by its use for an intidel lecture-roOm,
aud lugersoll was driven to the theatre on
Sunday nights. But the place paid worse
than ever now that censorship was estat-
lished and finally the Young Mems Christian
association people lost control The business

ENDURANCE.

We wend our way along this vale Of tears
With troubles thorns beneath our shrinking
feet;
On Times harsh scroll we notch the phantom
years,
While life's long toll is left all incomplete.
We feel the agony of mortal pain,
And writhe beneath the surgeons probing
knife;
We starvc, we thirst, we wait for love in vain,
And wrestle with despair in deadly strife.
Above the graves that shrine our treasures lost,
We bare our breasts to Him who dealt the
blow, 10y
While round our nlmbing hearts dissolves the
frost,
And grief's full fount finds saving overflow.
And so we climb the rounds Of care and pain,
And serve in suffering till the goal We gain.
