Considerable less than its duty was done by

Bureau of Information.

"The Burlington" has recently estab-
lished in a convenient quarter of its ele-
giant and commodious passenger station,
at Chicago, an Office designed to afford
travellers information on the thousand
and one things they need TO know, with
regard to routes, rates, connections and
accommodations. it has been placed in
charge of an experienced man, supplied
with all railway guides, maps and time
tables, and is known as the Bureau OF
Information"
1t is place to which all travellers may
apply for information and receive full
and correct answer. This is the only
Office of the kind west OF the sea-board
cities, and it cannot but prove help aud
convenience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Huntington" enter and de-
part from this station, and the intelligent
and valuable service of the Bureau may
be enjoyed by all patrons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued by
the "BurlingtCn" in the near future, Civ
ing accurate information as to "How to
get to the Worlds fair grounds "How
to secure rooms and board at the various
hotels, boarding and lodging houses"
Trustworthy agents will be at the O.,
B. & Q. depot in Chicago, to impart all
information to visitors. Arrangements
will probably be made by which some
trains will be run direct to the Worlds
Fair grounds without change or delay.

Upon a high mountain, which seems
to overlook the nations of the globe,

To the right and left of him, forward

In his propitious mood, he elevates
them to positions and conditions of po-

All nations, all continents. Aye, the
whole world seems to vie in manifesting

pride; yet, swelling, fills his whole be-

Home.

Obi how I long for my dear old home
As here in the prairied west roam,
To meet the loved ones once more
And hear their voices as in days Of yore.
And oft at twilight sit and dream
OF the neat white cottage besides the stream,
And a silent tear down my cheek will stray
As think of home so far away.
Then think of the grand old hills that rise,
Whose tops seem TO pierce the azure skies,
At whose base ''WiEconsin's'' waters flow
To meet with the Father of waters below,
And when Luna round and full rides high
Thro' the broad expanse of the starry sky
/ sit and muse in her clear pale rays
And think of home and by-gone days.
But the good "Old Folks aIo there no more
For they have gone to the brighter shore;
They are done with the SORROWS and trials of earth
And have safely passed over the river of death;
Yes they have gone from this strange world OF ours
No more to gather its thorns with its flowers;
Nomore to linger where sunbeams must fade
And where on all beauty deaths fingers are laid.
But tho we meier meet on the shores of time;
Yet may we meet il happier cline;
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not in
Resting forever from sorrow and sin.
