 LOULIE.
 BY EDWARD W. GANTT. Where the blossom never withers, And the birds are ever gay, And the skies are ever cloudless,- In region far away There met my lovely Louie, There met my gentle Loulie,- Louie with her heart so gay! Where the air is soft and ballny- Laden with sweet odors rare: Where the days are sadly brilliant, And the nights serenely fair; There looed my gentle Louie, There loved my happy Loulie,- Louie with her dark brown hair, Where the orange and the citron, Breathe upon the scented air; And the woodbine and the ivy, Cluster round a cottage fair; There lost my lovely Louie, There lost my gentle Loulie,- Louie with her brow so fair! Where the cypress and the myrtle, Mingle with the moaning wave; And the long and dropping willows Stoop, their mournful boughs to lave: There they laid my gentle Louie! There they laid my lifeless Louie, Low within silent grave. In the days of sad September, In the bright and joyous spring, In the winter dark and mourntul, l am ever sorrowing!- Mourning for my gentle Louie, Mourning for my long lost Loulie-- Loulie-lovely -hapless thing. High above the spangled heavens, Where the silver rivers play Through the odor- scented bowers, Is cline of cloudless day. There, they say, I'll meet my Louie. There I'll meet my long lost Louie, There we'll live and love for aye. jashington, Ark., A. L. 1855.

A STICK OF TYPE.

BY CARLOS d. STUART.
a Stick of Type what shot or she'll
From wars grim camp hath half the power
a Stick of TyPe with this one thought,
That Freedoms mans God-giVen dover.
That Stick of Typo hath more of might
Than warrior hosts or fortress walls
And it shall batter towers to dust
That laugh at siege and cannon balls.
That Stick of Type see it break
The eldest Of the blood built thrones,
And lift the yoke from millions, bowed
Der dead slave millions bleaching bones.
That Stick ofType! carcering fleets
Before it idly flap their wings,
And hammered armies pass like chaF-
Grown hideous 'mong remembered things.
That Stick of Type God bless tie Faust,
Who wrought it in his CON uering brain;
That Stick Of Type! God bless the Hoe.
Who sc..;tcrs it abroad like rain.
The Type the Pres the i;;ug Thought!
BY steam and lightning sped abroad,
S.Ii. con iner yet, and bring 10 man
The Freedom, Love, and Truth Of God!

Is not melted, but is pressed through
heated iron rollers, the heaviest Of which
weigh twenty tons, and thus worked or
kneadcd as dough is at n bakery. The
rubber is nearly all procured from the
mouth Of the Amazon, in Brazil, to which
point it is sent from the interior. Its
form upon arrival, is that of Jug or
pouch, as the natives use clay mOnld8 Of
that shape, which they repeatedly dip in,
to the liquid caoutchuuc until a coating
Of the desired thickness accumuIates,
when the clay is broken and emptied out.
The rubber, after being washed clean.
chopped fine and rolled to a putty like
consistency, is mixed with Il compound
Of metallic substances, principally of white
lead and sulphur to- Civ" il bnty or firm>

curtaled Of late by the prevailing high

Then followed an address. which for

magic. We saw the guilty accuser leave

Fight i'm a Church.

The Gallipo'is Journal has the fol.
lowing local religious intelligence:
The Presbyterian Church in thi.
lplace has been in possession of the
Old School body Tor some weeks past
and the New School, thinking they
had occupied the building a sufficient
length of time, on Saturday evening
last made an attempt to retake it IRON
that body. They succeeded in break.
ing panel out Of the back door, but
the hole was not sufficiently large to
admit a mans body. 1t appeors that
the Old School members were absent
at the time, but while Mr.. John Smith
ers was endeavoring to effect an en-
trance, Mr.. Miller, an outside mem
Der, demonstrated against the proceed
ings, and finally struck Mr.. S. severe
blow on the head with his cane. Find.
ing an entrance more difficult than
they had imagined, they quietly dis,
persed. For the past ten days or two
weeks the church has been in charge
Of Capt. j. S. Myers. On Sunday
morning, Rev. Warren Taylor, the
New School minister, took occasion
to walk in while the door OF the
church was temporarily thrown open,
and ascend the pulpit. Myers peremp-
torily ordered HIM to leave the house,
but no attention vas paid to him, when
he repaired TO the pulpit and elected
Mr.. 4. by force. Mr.. T. offered nc
resistance further than to hold on to a
knob thai was attached to an ornamen;
of the pnlpit, and, breaking his hold Of
it, he lost his balance and fell over the
railing to the floor, striking on his back
We do not know that he sustained any
serious injury The church has no
been used for public worship since the
Old School body has had possession
OF it. Since the difficulty, it is their
determination to keep it closed until a
Isgs' decision may bv had as to right
OF property.
