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. Council Proceedings.

THE PREMIUM WJEEKLV. IT Is universally conceded that advertising is 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. Address, JAB. P. HARRISOM, * Forwtb. Oeottfto
