AT THE CHURCH GATE. BY W. M. THACKERY. Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot Oft times I hover, And near the sacred gate.

With longing eyes I wait, Expectant of her. The minter bell tolls out Above the city's rout And noise and humming; They've hushed the minster bell The organ 'gins to swell; She's coming! she's coming! My lady comes at last, Timid and stepping fast And hastening hither, With modest eyes downcast, She comes-she's here-she's past; May heaven go with her! Kneel undisturbed, fair saint, Pour your praise or plaint Meekly and duly. I will not enter there, To sully your pure prayer With thoughts unruly. But suffer me to pace Round the forbidden plac, Ling'rihg a minute. Like outcast spirits, who wait, And see through heaven's gate Angels within it.

He came on his bicycle, which he rode the whole distance, except some fifteen miles over the flint hills, which proved too arduous a task.

WTe interviewed Mr. Galey, of the firm of Guffey Galey, during his business visit here Saturday last and learned that the situation as to the transportation of the oil remains practically unchanged; that refineries will probably be established at both this point and Neodesha. A proposition from our citizens, looking to the erection of a refinery here, was very favorably received and will probably be accepted. In the meantime, the field being known, the oil is of more value in the ground than stored in tanks where much loss is entailed by evaporation and wastage. S.
