Oh, vanished days, Oh, fantasy that thro’ the blossomed ways Of love's first vision, wandered like a s White spirit—moon-rise—far—how very far! ar— The very cynic word upon my lips. That should have kept the beauty in eclipse From the rude world, betrayed me. Could it seem The verity, instead of this—my dream? And nothing!—Not one breath of pain—to show What was more true than truth!—The long days go, A foolish love—a foolish heart, to break ! I do accept my sentence—and I wake! Leolyn Louise E Bulls and Bears WHE the news came at the opening Monday that Mr. Morgan had discharged one of his stenog- raphers, there was general confusion. It was claimed by some of the more invidious that insiders had had news of the event as long as a fortnight ago. On the whole, however, the Street was taken completely by surprise. The Street very much dislikes to be taken by surprise, for that compels it to discount an event after it has happened, which is very annoying. Prices bulged. On Tuesday it was reported that Mr. Ryan was trying to get control of the Goddess of Liberty. There has been a feeling for some time that the Goddess of Liberty should be controlled, bonded, stocked, watered and underwritten by some one. It only remained for a financier with suffi- cient initiative and annexing power to perfect the details. Upon being interviewed in regard to the matter Mr. f denied everything.

If this railroad can be built and a satisfactory working arrangement can be brought about between Min- neapolis and St. Paul, many shrewd analysts are of the opinion that it will have a profound effect on a number of the leading stocks in general and on the general market in particular. This remains to be seen, and in the mean- time prices have been duly cautioned to hold themselves in readiness for the worst. Prices signified their assent to this tentative arrangement. Friday's market exhibited many unusual tendencies of a kind that have been so common lately that they have Prices seemed satisfied with ceased to excite comment. themselves. The bank statement, which arrived on Saturday, looked tired and haggard, as if it had been trying to elude the moncy trust investigation. Bulk and Baggage HE recent rule made by railroad companies that here- after trunks shall go by their size and not by their weight will be a sad blow to many estimable ladie: Excess baggage will be charged on trunks more forty-five inches tall. In other words, the railroad com- panies have discovered that space is more important than n weight. The most singular thing about this ruling is that they have never discovered this fact before.
