 Among those who come there will be, as at other eXpositions, lordly people who will bring their vices with them. Among the dukes and duchesses and princes and prin- cesses of other lands are some of the best men and women of all the earth. Remember Earl of kintore, Lord Cairns and Lord Shaftes- bury. But there is a snObbery and hunkey- ism in American society that runs after a grandee, a duke a lord or prince, though he may be a walking lazaretto and his breath plague. It makes the fortune of some of our queens of society to dance the cotillion with one of these princely lepers. Some people cannot get their hat of quick enough when they see such foreign lord approach ing, and they do not care for the mire into which they drop their knees as they bow to worship.

What display of the munificence of the God who has grown enough wheat to make good loaf of bread large enough for ing every foot, and enough timber to shelter every head, making it manifest that it IS not Gods fault, but either mans oppression or incidence or dissipation if there be any with out supply.
 that exposition let Capital and Labor, too long estranged, at last be married, each talk. ing the hand of each in pledge of eternal fidelity, while representations of all nations stand round rejoicing at the nuptials, and let no man put asunder." Then shall the threnody of the needle woman no longer be heard:
 Work, work, work!
 Till the brain begins to swim;
 Work, work, work!
 Till the eyes are ncaVy ana ulM.
 Seam and gusset and band,
 Band and gusset and seam,

 And sew them on in dream.
 o, Christian America! Make ready for the grandest exposition ever seen under the sun! Have bibles enough bound. Have churches enough established. Have scientific halls enough endowed. Have printing presses enough set up. Have revivals of re- figion enough in full blast. I believe you will. "Hosanna to the Son of David !! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lordv'
 Through the harsh voices of our day A low, sweet prelude finds it's way; Through clouds of doubt and creeds of fear A light is breaking calm and clear. That song of love, now low and far, Ere long shall swell from star to star; That light, the breaking day, which tips The golden spired Apocalypse!
