THU GATH OF III!ATM.
BY MARY K. ATKINSON.
It is a baby’s hand
Knocks at the gate of dentil,
And we who love him stand.
Weeping with bated breath,
Waiting to see it ope
For the little feet to pass
In through the gate of hope
To the throne on the sea of glass.
Alas, the death-mists close
Aronnd the frail life’s goal,
Else should we see what glory glows
Around the entering soul.
. Nor saint nor seraphim
But the one who loves him best
From his mother’s arms recelveth him
And lifts him to his breast.
How safe the baby soul
God’s fair world entcreth.
To dwell, while happy ages roll
Beyond the gate of death !
Lord, open thou our eyes
To see thy blest estate
Who live with thee in Paradise,
The other side death’s gate.
STANLEY* STUNNED.
THE INNOCENT AFRICAN PAYB FOR HIS
CHICAGO EXPERIENCE.
From the Chicago Times, 6th ]
Stanley, the African explorer, claims to
have fallen a victim to misfortune on ac
count of hie blind confidence in human
nature. Upon hie arrival in this city he
met with a citizen of St. Louis who proved
to bo as wise as a serpent, but not as harm
less as a dove. The name of this premium
Tulip is A. M. Borland. lie is represented
as being pleasing in address, fluent in
speech and engaging in manner. 1 his
gentleman's respectability, Mr. Stanley
■ays, was bolstered up by letters of intro
duction by Bayard Taylor, Wendell Phil
lips, John B. Gough, Horace Greeley, and
other of distinction throughout the nation.
Stanley arranged with Borland to lecture
for $l5O per night. Borland was to take
the remainder of the proceeds and pay all
the bills. In accordance with this under
standing, Stanley started in and gave his
first lecture. Borland received all the
cash, and, on the night of the lecture,
passed over S7O to Mr. Stanley. Since
that eventful evening Mr. Borland has
been, as it would seem, non est eomatibus
in stoampo , so to speak. Stanley has been
in despair. On yesterday the gentleman
from Unyamgembe was sorrowfully en
gaged in paying printing and other bills
to the amount of a couple of hundred
dollars or so. He states that this wicked
Alfred Jingle, from the South, lugged
away about $750 of his hard-earned wealth.
Such is life in the metropolis.

The Finance Committee, to whom was
referred the request of O F. Adams, in re

heretofore exempt, respectfully report us
follows:
Thai as the proceeds of the lent of the
dwelling and store belonging to the Cath
olic Church, corner of Cherry and Fourth
stieets, is all appropriated to religious and
charitable purposes, it is not, in our opin
ion, subject to taxation.
That in regard to the property owned

used as a bar room aud a livery stable, we
tbink as the property is entirely diverted
from the purpose for which it was exemp
ted from taxation, that a committee of three
members of the Council be appointed to
examine into the facts, and to see if the
property, or so much as SIO,OOO given by
the city does not revert to the city, and
also to decide whether it is subject to tax
ation. All of which is respectfully sub

a necessity to success In business; it is also
conceded, by tliy shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
THE MOSBOE ADVEBTIBEK
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; It is, therefore, the best medium erf
communication with the planting interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who read
their cards in The AdvertUer. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its celumns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of all
other journals in which they are represented.
The Advertiser lias the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVESTTSKMSXTt.
No advertisements are admitted which are
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the readers of The Advertiser will be
safe in ordering them from any distance. Te
our readers, th* fact of its appearance here has
all the weight of endorsement and authority.
