THE OLD CHURCH. BELL.
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.


Rorn of the metal and the FIRE,
They bore me from my raging sire,
And made me Of the city's choir.
Which sings in tree air only;
And here since then I've patient hung,
Silent, untouched: but, being swung,
Giving my voice with irou tongue
Alone, but never lonely.
The hermit of the belfry here.
Celled III The upper atmosphere.
speak in accents stern aud clear
To all the listening people;
With none my speech to check or mar.
Sending my utterance near and far,
With g. norous clang and sudden jar.
shake the slender steeple.
/ ring the chimes for the bridal day;
toll when the dead are borne away;
Iclang when the red flames rise and play
On the cracking roof and ratter;
tell the hours of the steady clock:
/ call to pray ers the pastors flock;
And back and forth in my work | rock,
And sink to silence after.
Here by myself in belfry high,
Peeping through bars at earth and sky.
And knocking the breezes sweeping by,
And back their kisses t;ngiDg,
chime for smiles, toll for tears.
herald news and hopes and tears.
As have done for many years.
And never lire Of ringing.
From place Of vantage, looking dewu
On yellow lights and shadows brown.
Which plint and tint the busy town
With hues that CLEAN and CULVER.
/ see within II e streets below
The human currents crosswise h0w.
Eddying, kuiging 10 and fro.
Anevsr living river.
And when the twilight slowly crawls
Der slated roofs and bricken walls,
And dark ness on the city falls.
And dews the fl igs besprinkle.
Iwatch the gloom around me creep.
SO dense the silence, dense and deep.
The very highways seem TO sleep.
But for the gaslights' twinkle.
Or day or night there meet my gazs
The slopipg roof, the crowded ways.
the n esaes OF dreary maze
here men are ever vending;
One day rest for them may see
One dsy in seven: but as for mt.
M time from call of duty free,
Ny toll is never ending.
l chime for birth or bridal train;
toll when souls have burst their CT ain;
clang when fire It's rudy rain
From clouds OF smoke Is Il ,nRiJg;
Chime for smiles; toll for tears:
herald news and hopes and fear,
And so shall do Tor many years.
And never tire OF ringing.

Provision Markets.

Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10.
The bank troubles created some excitement to-day
The output of goods for day-day period is fair. Our
wholesale men are largely Increasing their stock for
the fall trade, and will, in their coming opening, offer
q larger variety and quantity of goods than ever be-
fore. Prices are generally quite strong, and their
tendency is more upward than otherwise. Still there
seems to be no disposition at all to boom values even
on the strength of the unusually healthy summer de-
mand. The conservative regard to keep this market
steady is still the prevailing policy of our merchants.
In all departments prices are well sustained. and a
feeling prevails that we are nearing buster times.
The provision market seems the tanest. The Cincin-
natl Price Current of the 9Th, says:
Duh and heavy has the market continued to be dur
ing the week aud a further considerable decline has
been suffered in prices Of nearly all articles. The
cause Of this is so palpable that he who runs may
read-thel large receipts of hogs at all points aud. as
II that was not sufficiently staggering, they must
30 that the current product East and West must he
about equal to the outgo from the supply markets for
domestic consumption and foreign shipment. hut
prices cannot always decline, and they have reached
a very low point as regards both meats and lard
and have reacted a little from the extreme depression.
hut there is not much confidence in any large ad-
usual proportions at this season of the year, is freely
met at the current rates, which are generally ut or
near the lowest point of the season. The exports
from the seaboard for the week ending last Saturday.
amounted to 1924, 27t pounds against I5l77. 705
pounds the preceding week. and 9, 23s,S SIS pounds for
the cores ponding week last year. Compared with last

in pork. Special reports to the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent show the number of hogs packed from Mar: to

DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW.

New YORK, Sept. 14.-R. G. Dun & Co.
OF the mercantile agency report that the
events of the week do not mar the general
satisfactory prospects for business of the
country. The weather though somewhat
unreasonable, is favorable to the progle ess
of fall trade, especially in dry goods busi-
ness in which has been very active during
the week, with large movement. Mer-
chandise transactions outside New York
as indicated by bank exchanges show con-
siderable increase with light decrease
in the city, owing probably to
exceptional causes. Some improve
ment is noted in the iron trade, with frmer
prices. There is better feeling in oil,
prices being well supported and business
active. The grocery trade is satisfactory.
Business at the stock exchange has been
large with general improvement in the
prices of securities. Money is plenty
and at low rates. Altogether the situa-
tion is more satisfactory than last week
and the prospects for the coming months
appears excellent. Business failures
though somewhat numerous are with few
exceptions unimportsnt, the number
reported during the week being 173
throughout the United States and Canada.

in October. Two hundred and eighty-one
shares, representing $56, 200 of stock, were
subscribed and paid for, and $4,000 more
of stock was reserved for parties who
were present but were not prepared to pay
last evening. One noticeable feature of
the purchases was that of fifteen boys,
from five to thirteen years of
age, who invested their earnings
in stock. A lady, Mrs. Knaff, of White
Bear lake, came in on purpose to purchase
stock for her three little boys, who had
been saving their pennies, and who, she
said, we're determined to save and pay a
dollar each month hereafter.
