PARTING.
11Y KMMA M. GROSS.
1 am sitting, where the twilight shades
are flitting,
And the memory of tlie past draws
around mo like a spell
Breatho tho Inst tones of tho nearest, the
fondest nnJ tho dearest,
Still withiu my car 5 a tremulous fare
well, It is hard to think us parted-trusted-
trusting-steel true hearted,
Aud that many links umy crumble from
the lengthening chain ol lime,
Krc my lips may feci the pressing, or my
hair the lijht caressing
That have filled my soul with rapture
and a lore almost sublime.
Ah, our lines have twined together, like
the viues iu sunny weather,
And wo never thought to part until
death should brcal- the chain
With which golden love had bound us,
wearing like a halo round us,
Every thought and every feeling-grasping
joys, ignoring paiu.
Yet thouM gone ! Thy country calls
thee. Factum's stormy cloud en.
thralls thee,
And I nevermore may look intothe blue
depths of thine eyes
Never hear the loved voice stealing, with
its rich deep freight of feeling.
On my ear with gcntlo murmurs as tho
evening glory dies.
Lifo seems 'reft of every beauty-I have
B-iarco a heart for duty,
As I sit here thinking, thiuk'mg olthcc,
darlin-r, far away,
Tears are falling fast and faster-Heaven
grant no dire disaster
May make the gloom eternal that is on
my heart to.day.
Yet, in all my pain and sorrow, could I
call thee back to-morrow,
Dear, my lips should never breathe the
words to hasten thy return,
Though I sit here sadly sobbing, with a
heart so wildly throbbing.
I could never quench the sparks that on
thy bosoms altar burn.
No, pur hearts may wander, darkling, till
I see the diamond sparkling,
Of tho star that yet shall dawn to bid us
hope for peace once more,
And my soul leaps, e'en in sadness, liko
an infant iu its gladness,
To think how proud I'll greet thee when
the bloody strife is o'er.
I'll not think of death and slaughter,
tinged with blood the crystal water
Of tho purling streams that murmur
through the forests of our laud,
But of banners proudly streaming, where
the camp fires now are gleaming,
Hear the rolling shout of millions peal
from Freedom's feailess baud.
See I thee, bold, brave and daring, on
thy mauly forehead wearing
The shadow of a purpose strong as every
pulse of life ;
See thee strike the foe before thee, while
the rolling clouds sweep o'er thee,
On 'mid clash of sword and sabre, in
the hot'esl of the strife.
Love, God have thee in his keeping ever,
wakiug or in sleeping,
Every hour I brcatho a prayer for my
country's cause and thee,
And I feel His love will fold thee, till
my eyes again behold thee,
In the flush of manly beauty, and tho
pride of victory !
A celebrated Dublin divine was engag
ed ono evening in a disquisition on the
difference between Irish and Scotch Celt3,
and suddenly asked, "What it tho differ
ence between au Irishman and a Scotch
man on the top of a mountain in frosty
weather ?" ''One is cowld with the
kilt, and the other is kilt with the
cowld."

'Sir, that is a very bad cough of

So long a backwoods wildcat county,
it is only now that tho inexhaustible
treasucrs of Elk, arc Icing developed.
Her magnificent foicsts, it is true, have
for years been a souicc of immense profit
to her hardy sons and long will be. But
there arc other interests of which tho
many eyed Goddess speaks through her
sounding trumpet j and fer once wo see
her usurping tho place of Truth. Al
ready inexhaustible veins of the richest
coal have been opened and every traiu
leaving our county is freighted with the
riches of her hills. Land is being pur
chased with a view of further mining
daily : and we have yet to see one per.

lock being a great inducement. Iron
of a quality, superior probably to any in
the adjoining counties, exists in great
quantities ; and a monster forge near St,
Mary's is about being erected.
Further, we have every good reason
to say confidently that oil exists in
and awaits only the sinking of tho well
to be procured. Compauies, composed
of parties successful iu Venango, have
confidently invested iu lands in this
county. The Messenger tract having
been recently sold for 50.000 and the
Elliott tract for 54,000. Theso are in
Spring Creek township, on the Clarion ;
on which Etrearn, oil has been found
some 20 miles below this place. The
well at Ridgway is at tho depth of 235
feet; that at St. Mary's, 200 feet;

iu Bcnzinger township, some 6 miles
from St. Marys. The opeator at this
well, has-been sinking wells iu Venango
foi some two years, and in a lato con
versation wo had with him, informed us
that he has all coufidenco in the full
success of his present operation. Tar
ties desirous of "reaping whero they

BSfD. S. Luther, having for a num.
ber of years, owned and kept tho Fouo.

quit the "brown" business aud engage
in other & more agreeable aud quiet pur
suits. John G. Porterfield, is now own
er and proprietor of tho "Fountain
House," which ho fully opened on last
Thursday, prepared to accommodate oil
who mayfavor him with their custom.
He assures us, that nothing bhall be
lacking on his part, either at his table,
bar or stable to render both man aud
beast comfortable. So far as wo have
any acquaintance with Mr. 1., wo think
him the "right man in the right place."
Ho has opcued tho house, we thiuk, iu
the proper manner, and if he continues
to have tho rules enforced as laid down
by him, strangers and the publio goner,
ally can have the full assurance, that
they will not be insulted . or abused by
what is generally termed "loafers" about

Mr. I offers to all those fond of at

How was Petroleum Produced?
The theory 'of the production of pe
troleum which seems to find most acccp.
tauce iu Pennsylvania, i3 that it is the
result of the action of intenso heat upon
a coal formation; that tho chemistry of
nature is tho same as that adopted by
man to obtain kerosene or rock oil from
highly bituminous coal that is, to put
the agcut in a ictort, and subject it to
cxtremo heat. The results are gas, oil,
and an earthy residum. This theory
would account for tho perculiar pheno
mena characteristic of the oil region of
Pennsylvania. There oil is found on
the surfaco of the water, while gas ex
tends over the surfaco of the oil. The
philosophy of the "flowing wolls" of
Pennsylvania is that in the process of
boring, the gas and oil aro missed, and
the watr beneath thera is first struck by
the drill
from some pent up reservoir in tho neigh-1
in uus cusu luoRiu, iu3uiuB
borhood to the ouly vent nolo, lorces ilj
way through the oil and waterand then
again through tho water to the oil, dri
ving tho latter to the surfaco. This
constitutes a "flowing well." Of course
as gas is struck first, it will come to tho
top of tho vent at ouco, mixed with oil,
and must be exhausted before tho oil
can bs remsved by artificial means.
This constitutes what is termed a "pump
i .g well."
Before desciibins; the sijins of oil
upon the property, we take the'ibcityof
mentioning one or two facts which our
experience has taught us concerning
this mineraVfluid.
First. The petroleum springs of this
country havo their origin everywhere in
bituminous shales or lima stones, and
having probably nothing to do with tho
coal formation, sluco those rocks arc con
siderably older.
Second Pctrolourn follows the law
of all liquids, e. g. water, and collects in
basins or fissuros, or both, with this dif
ference, that it may rise in gaseous form
and bo condensed in an over-lying layer
sponge. Even in this layer, however, it
will seek to collect in basins or usurcs,
wherever it is possible, and by subse.
f;nent evaporation of gases, it may come
to be under great pressure, so as to spout
irorn a well with a consiilcroblo force tor
a long time When the prcssuro of gas
crates, which it will do in most cases, tho
oil must bo pumped fiom its rcccptaelo
like any other liquid
Third Tho best condition for tho
discovery of petroleum in abundant quan.
titles arc: 1st, a basin formed by a bit
uminous stratum, with some impervious
rock below; and 2d, a layer of rock above,
sufficiently porous to form a roecptaole,

boys that aro now buoyant in spirits will
be mado to bite tho dust.
We came here iu the month of October,
and was deployed in our works tho
next day after our arrival to faco the
enemy, but he had not tho courage to
front us nor has he showed us fight as

inclined to sloppinws; mu 1 is very prev.

tho best of spirits, and aro in good
hopes that they will soon bo permitted
to return to the out stretched arms of
dear friends at homo.
Tho enemy is fast deserting now ;
not a day passes but wo have tho pleas
