The Chicago Tribune says this
programme has been agreed upon
by the representative of all the
companies interested as the shortest
and least expensive method of car
rying the questions at issue to a
higher tribunal. The Northwestern
Company has been chosen to bear
the brunt of the contest because it
is an alien corporation and entitled
to seek remedy in the United
States Courts. As consequence

Is a constitutional one will reach a

by that Congress is whether the

bear the grievous transportation
tax which is rapidly making wheat

whether the western representatives

The foreign trade of the United
States, Judging from the returns at
the port Of New York, has not suffer
ed so severely this year from the ef-
feets Of the financial crisis as was an
ticipated, and the decline has been
only in the imports. The aggregate
exports of the first nine months OF
1874 are largely in excess of those
of the corresponding figure of 1873.
In some articles the export has this
year been very much ahead Of last
year, this being particularly tile case
in flour, wheat, corn, peas. oats, nut
ter and cheese, tallow, tobacco ana
petroleum, which are all the leading
articles of export. The wheat eX I
port thus far this year IS nearly
double that of last year, whilst near
lv fifty per cent. increaseis shown in
the corn trade. There has been a de
cline in the expectation of lard and
cnt meats, but the rest of the proyi-
sion trade shows an increase. The
cotton export from New York shows
considerable decline, as it is becom-
ing more and more the European
custom to draw their cotton supply
direct from the Southern shipping
ports.

We die not all: for our deeds remain
To crown with honor, or mar with stain ;
Through endless sequence of years to


come
Our lives shall speak, when our lips


are dumb.
What though we perish unknown to


fame,
Our tomb forgotten, and lost our name,
Since nanght is wasted in heaven or


earth,
And nothing dies to which God gives


birth.
Though life be joyless, and death be


cold,
And pleasures pail as the world grows


old,
Yet God has granted our hearts relief,
For Love and Labor can conquer grief.
Love sheds light on the gloomy way,
And Labor hurrIes the weary day;
Though death be fearful, and life be


hard,
Yet Love and Labor shall win reward.
If Love can dry up a single tear,
If lifelong Labor avail TO clear
A single web from before the true,
Then Love and Labor have won their


due.
What though we mourn, we can comfort


pain;
What if we die, so the truth be plain;
a little spark from a high desire
Shall kindle others and grow fire.
We are not worthy to work the whole;
We have no strength which may save a


soul;
Enough for us if our life begin
struggle with grief and sin.
Labor is mortal, and fades away.
But Love shall triumph in perfect day:
Labor may wither beneath the sod,
But Love lives ever, for Love is God.
