There is nothing our city authorities
could do that would more please the

Wanamaker's Vast Profits.

1t Is not, perhaps, remarkable that
young Wanamaker in Paris can spend
$4,000 for a dinner when it is realized
that his fathers dry goods store in Phil
adelphia made 81, 900 in profits last
year. Great as this sum Is, the chances
are the profits Of 1895 will exceed it by
one or two millions. Wanamaker was
able to make this vast profit last year
through his virtual monopoly Of the
retail business in Philadelphia. When
the commercial depression forced fac
tories and wholesalers to sell for what
they could, Wanamaker's buyers were

Consolation.

Thou wOndrous world.
To-day how brightly fair thou smilest
In despite of thy despair of yesterday!
Thy tears then gathered with the morning
dew,
All sOmber was thy mantle,
And the chill of sunless sky
Smote thy young soul
And babe thee weep a last farewell to
gladness.
Noon anne
And darker still the shadows wrapt thee
round,
When on thy pallid face
A light Respondent should have shone,
Closer the veil of sorrow pressed thine
eyes.
The t%hunderous elements fierce fought
And struggled to enchain thy soul.
And in their mightiness weighed heavily.
Dense darkness stihed and oppressed.
Through weary, g~roaning moments des'
perate thou.
Till midnight tolled and seemed thy knel
Of doom.
Then chaos came
Thy heavy breast sank m%otionless.
Struck with a sudden, awful fear;
Cold dampness oozed from every pore,
Thy misery was extreme.
EARTH Twas thy pursatory, not thy
death
For at suspense, that blacklist hour ere
dawn,
The Ginning spheres exulting rang from
heaven
Arousing every chord of thy numbed
faith.
Soft radiance spread DER all thy fading
senses.
Thy new-lit soul responded with great
glory,
And quivering shafts Of hope and joy
Showered DER all creation.
Tumultuously retreated the spent shad'
ows,
Vanished the darkness.
Shone the morning star!
O mighty God Of earth and heaven,
That canst thy word 80 torture and sub
due
And yet restore again to sweeter beauty,
How infinite, sublime, incomprehensibl'
Must be the resurrection of our souls!
