THE MCCKi..L Bird.

He didn't know Eurh music
4 Mhen,G first he ccrlc along:
IAN allfhe lirds went wonderin'
Why he didn't sing Il song.
They primped their feathers in the sun,
An sung their sweet, ST notes;
An music is come on The run
From all their thriilin' throats
But still that bird was silent
In summer time an fall:
He jes' set still an listened,
An he wouldn't sing at all.
But one night when Them songsters
Was tired out an Still,
An the wind sighed down the valley
An went creepin up the hill;
When the stars was all a-tremble
In the dreamin fields O blue,
An the daisy in the darkness
Felt the falln' O. the dew;
There come q sound o melody
No mortal ever heard
An all the birds seemed Singln'
From the throat o one sweet bird!
Then the other birds went Mayln
In land TOO fur TO clll;
Fer there varn't no Use in stayin'
When enc bird couid sing fer all!

Business has been waiting the greater part

give II a sharp stimulus. Whether men are
r.ght or wrong in expecting better things.
the fact that they expect them does
tend 70 make things better Thus a
larger volume OF trade might be antici-
pated. although no present events can
alter the size Of the corn CROP nor make the
demand for wheat or cotton closer 70 the sup
ply. Neither can the election returns alter the
tariff. and II any industry is affected By It.
faVorably OF unfavorably. the situation IS ex-
actly the same as It was before the people
voted. at least for some time to come. But il
is fair TO infer that further notifications OF
Of the tariff are rendered less probable By the
elections Of Tuesday.
Reports OF failures are on the whole en-
couraging in comparison with last year, and
yet the vol-'me Of liabilities is larger for the
season than any year OF ordinary prosperity.

Bradstreet's says:
Interest In the elections this week nat
urally tended 70 restrict the volume Of trade,
particularly south. where it interfered with
mercantile collections. But within few days
the influence Of more seasonable weather west
and northwest, together with the emphasis
with which political questions have apparent

OF many merchants and manufacturers in
prospect for an increased rate " improvement
in general trade In the near future Chicago
and ST Louis manufacturers and business
men already report evidences Of a tendency on
the part OF interior buyers TO purchase for
