Araluen.
By young Australian named Kendale, who died in


BY young Australian named Kendale, who died
1882.
Take this rose and very gently
Place it on the tender, deep
Moses where our little darling
Araluen lies asleep;
Put the blossoms close to baby
Kneel with me, my love, and pray;
We must leave the bird ws BURIED
Say goodbye to her to-day!
In the shadow of our trouble
We must go to other lands,
And the flowers we have fostered
Will be left to other hands;
Other eyes will watch them growing,
Other feet will softly tread
Where two hearts are nearly breaking,
Where so many tears are shed.
Bitter is the world we live in;
Life and joy are mixed with pain
We shall never see the daisies
Never water them again!
All, the saddest thought in leaving
Baby in this bush alone,
Is that we have not been able
On her grave to place stone.
We have been too poor to do it;
But, my darling. never mind,
God Is in the gracious heavens,
And his sun and rain are kind;
They will dress the spot with beauty,
They will make the grasses grow.
Many winds will lull our birdie,
Many songs will come and go.
Here the blue-eyed spring will linger;
Here the shining month will stay
Like a friend by Araluen,
When we two are far away.
But beyond the wide, wide waters.
We shall tread another shore;
We shall never watch this blossom
Never see it any more.
Girl, whose hand at Gods high altar
In the dear dead year pressed,
Lean your stricken head upon me,
This is still your lovers breast;
She who was the first and sweetest,
None we have to take her place;
4. Empty is the little cradle;
Absent is the little face;
Other children may be gwen,
But this rose beyond recall,
But this garland of your girlhood
Will be dearest of them all
None will ever, Araluen,
Nestle where you used to be.
In my heart of hearts, my darling,
When the world was new to me.
We were young when you were with US.
Life and love were happy things
To your father and your mother,
Ere the angels gave you wings.
You that sit and sob beside me
You upon whose golden head
Many rains of many sorrows
Have from day to day been shed
Who, because your love was noble,
Faced with me the lot austere,
Ever pressing with its hardship
On the man of letters here
Let me feel that you are near me;
Lay your hand within my own.
1ou are all / have to live for,
Now that we are left alone.
Three there were, but one has vanished
Sins of mine have made you weep,
But forgive your baby father,
Now that baby is asleep.
Let go, for night is falling
Leave the darling with her flowers;
Other hands will come to tend them,
Other friends in other hours.

THE COUNTY PREMIUMS.
From the Odessa Herald


"The county court ordered the fol-
lowing premiums to be offered by the
county fair this fall:-Best stallion, all
purposes, 500; best mare, all purposes,
$40: best bull, all purposes, 800; best
COW, all purposes, $40; best boar, all
purposes, $40: best SOW, all purposes,
$40. We don't quite see how the court
can legally appropriate money for such
a purpose"
The law under which the court acted,
friend Herald, is section 1867, page
so, revised statutes, and is in these
WOrds:-
"Sec. 4O57. County court MAJ appro.
money TO society, when.-The county
court of any county III which there
shall be a society organized according
to this article, or any special act of in
corporation, shall have the power and
may, if ii shall be deemed expedient,
appropriate out of the county treasury,
for the benefit of the society, the sum
Of one hundred and fifty dollars in any
one year; and the money so appro-
priated shall be drawn by the treasurer
of the society in a proper warrant:
provided, said money shall be annually
awarded by the board OF directors in
premiums, or expended by them in the
purchase of premiums, to be known as
the Oname the county, county court
premiums to be awarded according to
the rules, regulations and bylaws oil
the society and provided further, thai
no more than II such premium shall
be awarded to the same animal OF

seems to be all necessary warrant O
law for the action of the court.

a news special from Jefferson City
says regarding the selection of a peni-
Tertiary site at Cape Girardeau:-"It
is known that Governor Marmaduke
is opposed to locating the new peniten-
tiary at Cape Girardeau and is partic-
nlarly opposed to the payment of 5000
per acre for the site. Auditor Walker
said last night that he had heard moth
ing of the governors approval or dis
approval of the action of the commits
sioners. He did not understand the
law to mean that the governor should
approve or not of the location, but that
when the ground for a site had been
purchased the bill of sale and the title
had to be presented to him and APP
proved before the auditor could draw
his warrant. When the present atti-
tude of the governor is considered, it
may safely be set down that if the Cape
wants the prison it will have to offer
land at Il less figure than 5000 per
acre. Auditor Walker says there has
been no purchase made, but that Mr..
Houck offered the land for the site at
5000 per acre. In case, however, of
the executives disapproval, a new deal
may result and Cape Girardeau may be
willing to donate the SITE"

of its power to stand rough weather.
