Go forth with the strength of. thy youth,
To do the work of each hour.

To receive the robe and the crown;
For thus nobly living all through life

A Big SCARE AND No FIRE.-About a:45
O'Clock last night an alarm OF fire was
sounded from Station 81 (rcnth-Street Hose
house, and soon q great crowd gathered on
Main street, no doubt fearing that serious
fire was in progress. 1t appears that Pri-
Yatc-Watchman Smithcr and others, while
standing at the corner OF Tenth and Main
streets, discovered what they took to be fire
issuing from the stable near the corner Of
Tenth and Cary streets. Smithcr ran down
to the cnSine-house ito which he has access(,
and, without giving the tiremtn present any
Information whatever as to the location OF
the fire, turned in an alarm. 1t turned out
that it was foul chimney burning out, and
not the stable. Smither acted, no doubt,
with thoughtlcss haste, but was satisfied
that the stable was on fire, and that it was
better to be minute too soon than min

Nobody has an honest doubt
inst now as to the reality of the
business revival which commenced
less than ninety days ago, but
which already aDimates every pro-
ductive interest from the eastern
seahoard to the Rocky Mountains,
The solidity of its foundation is
discovered in the unprecedented
appreciation of prices of every
staple commodity and every arti-
Gle of merchandise in general de-
mand ; and it isnot wonderful that
labor asserts itself and asks for adj
ditional remuneration when it is
discovered that its products are en-
richipg all the markets of the coun-
try, and are still in short supply.


The revivals of trade as now ex-
perienced is phenomenal. Nothing
like it was ever before known in
the history of the country. All
calculation fails to keep pace with
it and falls short of estimating It's
possibiIiti, s. To day we say it is
going too fast, but tomorrow it
outstrips and puts to blush al
former achievements and marks up
it's goods another ten or twenty per
cent, and laughs at all siow-golng
critics. "You may take the arti :
cles at these figures or let them
alone. We prefer that you let them
alone" This is the greeting, and
it expresses the tact If you re =
fuse to pay the price, it is only to
wait till to morrow and pay more,
for no day passes without some ad-
dition to the quotations; therefore
do not put off till to morrow what
you can buy to-day unless you
are willing to pay smartly for waii


ing. We have tried the experiment
and know whereof we speak.


The danger of advancing too
rapidly in this business has been
repeatedly pointed out by the press
aud conservative dealers in all
branches but without effect. No
body heeds the warning. 1t has
come to be believed that no rate OF
advance is too rapid, and possibly
it may not be found so for long
time. Not till the wants of larg =
lY lrcl eused consumption are fully
Supplied, and it is not reasonable
to suppose that the date Of such
an event is near when the foreign

OF which they had no voice. As neither En-
gland nor France can get any moro out OF the
country than the Khedive has, for he has been
absolute and has taken everything that has
been produced, 1T is difficult to see what ad-
