matter of congratulation that some i
very Important danger points have bee' i
safely passed; a political crisis bus been i
averted; puWic oplolon is becoming
more sane in its altitude ton-aid cor
porations, and all indx'ations point to,
the election of Mr. Taft a* our next
president. Businoss failures have boon
much lass serious than at one time wa>
feared, and the credit sicuatiou shows
vast improvement over a vear ago.
Financial institutions which foU under f
the strain of the panic have mostly re
sumed, and our banks arc as a rule
now exceptionally stronj. This doe*
not by any means complete the lis*, of
favorable developments. So much

loss aud difficulties which naturally i
cloud tho vision of thoso upon whom
they have fallen with great sevority.

A faint wind blowing from the World
End,
Made siranpe the city streot.
A straigo sourd mingled in the fall
Of tho familiar feet.
Something unseen whirled with tl:
Iojtcs
To tap on door and sill.
Something u known went whlsperin
Erin when tho wind was still.
A iid men looked up with startled eye
And hurried on their way,
As If they had been called and told,
Eow brief their day.
