Strive, Wait, Pray.

Strive; Yet l do not promise the prize you
dream of today
Will not fade when you think TO grasp it, and
melt in your hand away
But another and holier treasure you would
now perchance disdain
VIII come when your toll is over and pay you
for all your pain.
Wait yet 1 do not tell you the hour you long
for now
Will not come with its radiance vanished, and
a shadow upon its brow,
But far through the misty future with acrown
of starry light,
An hour of joy you know not, is wineing her
silent flight.
Pray though the gift you ask for may never
comfort your fears,
May never repay your pleadings, yet pray with
hopeful tears
An answer not that you long for, but diviner,
will come one day;
Your eyes are too dim 10 see it; yet STRIFE and
rdit and pray.

The Chicago Catastrophe.

SELF-PREsERvATIoN is said to be the
first law in nature. That being the
case, then to it must be laid the very
large death list at the lriquois thea
tire in Chicago. There would no
doubt have been ample time for the
entire audience to have departed, had
there been no excitement, but when
n becomes excited they lose entire
control of themselves and think only
of escape.
The loss of life was the greatest
ever known in this country, the burn
ing of the Brooklyn theatre, Dec. 9th,
1876, where 297 lives were lost. be
ing the mex in point of numbers -.
The Ring theatre, at Vienna, Austria,
burned Dec. 9Th, 1881, and between
S75 and 800 lives were lost. The
burning of the Lehan theatre, at St.
Petersburg, caused the death of be
tween 600 and 100 persons.
The account of the Chicago fire,
by an eye witness, as given in this
