The Lakeside Monthly

Excerpt from The Lakeside Monthly, Vol. 9 The same system of correspondence that is kept up with the United States, is maintained with other nations, the letters being of an average length of two columns, and replete with interest ing and desirable information, made more attractive still by the brilliancy of language with which the information is imparted. Very rarely does it happen that a German writer makes use of poor language his functions would soon cease, for the Germans, enlight ened and educated as they are, expect good grammar and terse but eloquent phrases from those who are supposed to teach them - and very few people in Germany doubt that the press is one of the best instructors.

Excerpt from The Lakeside Monthly, Vol. 7: January to June, 1872 Ere long Lincoln Park, the resort of gayety and fashion, was thronged with the fleeing multitude; and here some security was found, the walls of green keeping back the tide of fire, though falling brands flashed momentarily among the distracted groups and set fire to treasures painfully brought hither, after repeated removals, only to be consumed. Thousands and thou sands more stopped not to trust them selves even here, but pushed on, miles to the northward, to the Open prairie beyond the city; and there night over took them, homeless, foodless, illy clad, exhausted, almost broken hearted. That night of cold and rain, by the lake shore, among the tombs, in the dark woods, and upon the desolate waste, with neither fire nor food nor shelter, formed a fitting close of the horrors of that awful day.

And parried its resentments, or directed them against the innocent. It was necessarily a system of the blind and passionate moment, and, contin ued beyond a brief period, it would have settled into a despotism which the cunning and unscrupulous must have used to promote their own ends.
