My Lost Love.

My life, my joy, my only love, iif 4t
Lies buried in the sweetest dell
That poets art-caught from above ava
Could e'er in rhythmic measures tell;
But oh the place is black TO me, ,6a
And sadly sghs the willow tree
That moans above her grave.
/ hear music in the trees,
The zephyrs sing dirge to me,
The birds, the brook. the summer breeze.
Chant but dismal threnody II aa
would not heed the heaveny cfoirx,
Nor listen to angelic wires,
Beside that little grave.
throw myself along the mound,
And, stclnly checking every sob,
l strive to catch the lightest sound
OF life,-the faintest, fainte$t throb;
But oh my love lies silent STILL
And nothing hear l but the rill
That sweeps beside her grave.
And, hoping she hasswaked at last
go at night to that still ground,
And often has my heart beat fast
To see her kneeling at The mound
Twas only that the moonlight shone
Upon the cold, white marble stone,
That atstends TO mark her grave
Why do th f;iirest violcts grow
Upon my darling's grassy bed2
Because the stern clouds see my woe,
And softest tears of pity she'd
Upon her mound because the airs
ofheaven, made quiet by my prayers,
Blow gently DER her grave.
While Winter fingers on the waste,
And snow drifts elsewhere clothe the glouud,
Sweet Spring, with all her train, make haste
To deck my lost loves little mound
For since she was more pure than they,
The SHOWS ali weep themselves away,
Anddie upon her grave.
At night the stars come out to fill
Their places in the tranquil skies,
And all of them most pure and still
Gaze at her sod with sorrowing eyes
But oh my love purer far,
Than any soft and heavenly star,
That watches Ger her grave.
That happy time long for when
I shall reioin my buried bride,
And in this little peaceful gler4
Two graves shall lie there, side by side:
When the warm showers and breath offspring
Shall make the gentle Fiolets cling
70 our two quiet graves.

County Bonds.

From the proceedings of the railroad
meeting, which we published last week,
it may be seen that the meeting proved a
failure, 10 compromise being effected. The
bond-holders refused to accept any propo-
sition which the people were willing to
make; and the people utterly refused to
acceed to the propositions of the bond
holders. The propositions made by Mr..
Beecher on the part of the bond-holders
were thought to be very honorable by the
people of Dodgeville, and some portions Of
the northern part of the County; but those
from the southeast and west thought it
no inducement to have railroad through
the County, and consequently opposed
every move in that direction.
We are surprised at the shortsightedness
and narrow-nindednes Of those people
who claim that railroad would only bene-
fit few towns on it's immediate route,
and be no particular benefit to the County
at large. 1t would without doubt materi-
ally enhance the value Of every farm in
the County, and. be a lasting benefit, pecu
niarily and otherwise, to every citizen.
The most foolish piece ofbusiness which
that meeting did was to adopt resolution
to pay the bond-holders the principle of
the bonds-$l50,0 ,000-and almost itpme-
diately thereafter adopt another resolu-
ton, Offering to pay 100000. Such tran
sactions do not show the determination Of
the people as they wish it to appear to the
bond-holders.
Nevertheless, from the feeling manifested
by the people present, the knowledge that
the debt is an unjust one, and the almost
universal opposition to paying any more
Of it than we,'ase actually obliged to, we
think the proposition which was offered
to pay $500, 600 in six years is the best
which the people will ever consent to, and
more than the bond-holders will realize if
they do not accept it. We trust they will
see it to their interest to accept the offer
of the people of the county, and that ere
long we shall forever settle the much vex-
ed question of the Iowa County railroad
bonds.

EDITOR DoDGEyiLLE CuRoNlcLE-Sir: |
notice in your report of the proceedings OF
the Rail Road meeting, you made an error
of fifty thousand dollars in proposition
made by me for settlement with the
Bond holders,
My proposition was to pay fifty thousand
dollars year for six years, TO be so divi-
dcd between the towns as to make each
town responsible for its own delinquent
list.
If that proposition was accepted and an
act Of the Legislature passed to enable US
to carry tout, we could pay it without
much trouble; but had no faith in its
being accepted have ever said the time
has never been when compromise could
be effected, and believe it is the same yet.
Ny object was twofoid-to satisfy every
man Fpresent that that was true, and to
show a willingness to pay a large amount
to clear off what has now become legal
lied fraud upon the people.
