lat the request of many people VIII
heard the poem read at the Literary Sc
ciety meeting THE LEADER cheerful
consents to publish it for the gratiticatio
of its patrons.
Slowly, since the winter ended,
Has thy pleasant coming been
Now upon the earth descended.
Lovclier l have never seen.
Nothing hinders, let Inc see thee.
Fairest season, face to face
Make my soul thy souls acquaintance
Sacred, silent, let me feel thee
Ere the tleeting days reveal thee
clothed in aught maturer grace.
Thro' the twilight, dimly straying.
Morning trails her azure veil,
Pendant limb and leafet swaying
Just a welcome to the gale.
oh how softly. oh how sweetIy,
Fades the shadowy away
Blending real and ideal
With a balance 50 discreetly,
With a magic so completely,
Which to call 1t who can sayP
Early mlst and morning passed.
Broader vista meets my gaze
Now the hillside. wood, and valley,
Bathed in light before me blaze.
Tenderly the breeze Is wooIng
Mildly warm. the sun invites,
Mantllng forest. slope and meadow,
All e%ntranclng, all renewing,
While the buds, to lowers unfolding,
Are foretellinE new delights.
Surely, surely, tits a bridal,
And the nuptial hour is nigh
Softly green, the earth is rising,
Blue and amber blends the sky.
See the silvery clouds attending
Dewso of diamond gem the morn
While from far-and listen nearer,
With MARBLE, buzz, and hum ascending,
Murinuring, mcasureless, unending,
Music fills her mellow horn.
God OF Beauty help me love Thee
With a truer, tenderer love,
Since | know Thou hast an April

Bob IngersoII Goes Through.


Bob Ingersoll came up from Denver to
Cheyenne yesterday and stopped over for
a short time waiting to take the train
westward. He seemed disinclined to say
very much as to where he is going, but
his visit to the Far West Just at this par
tlcular time is thought TO have a little
something TO do with Jim Blaine's pros
poets at Chicago. Bob intimsted that it
was quite probable he would stop over in
Cheyenne and deliver a lecture on his way
back from his Western trip. He is look
ing well, as usual, and is as confident as
ever that he knows a thing or two about
this life even ifhe doesn't spend the most
OF his time guessing at the hereafter. as a
good many professedly better men do.

The fact is that no such scheme was broach.

to the big operators no fsr!her increasf

The successful boring on the He's farm.
anile iron Washington, Pa, after repeat
ed failures elsewhere in the came vicinity,
suggests that science may with profit be
called to aid in locating gas wells. The
Hess vel! was discovered by Prof. !. @.
White, who holds the chair Of geology in
the Wes. Virginia Uni7ersity and has
madea special study Of the natural ga7
question. A little moro than q week ago q
fine flow was struck on one OF Prof. Whites
locations near Meheesport. It is our i'm
preston that he has not yet made q miE'
take. t r-.f%E.g
Agood desl Of money has been spent in
boring for oil in Wheeling and vicinity,
with no return. Yet it is Prof. Whites
opinion that ges in paying quantities is to
be found ncsr Wheeling. 1t is not wise tc

therefore urges upon Wheeling capitalists
interested in this matter that they take

can do ior them. He is skilled in his pro
lesion, IN honest man and will deal fairly

them, not ono Of the officers had out his
revolver, but the three thieves each had in
ILLS hands two self cooking revolyers. They
had seen the officers and were prepared ior
their coming. stiveson recognized tho
thieves as Daniel Mitchell, and Sol and
George Haynes, brothers, who were recently
in tho Penitenliary. Mitchell, as leader Of
the gang, said to SIiyeson, "You zoe, We
have the drop on you. You arc married

to hurt you, aud We know you can't afford
to be killed. The best thing You can do Is
