is terrible drawback to a moral state
like Missouri to be located so near that

which happened at Valley Falls Saturday.

That Valley Falls affair and the
sequel to it which was enacted

not startle the world by the announce

initiation the fates have placed upon her
in being physically bound to such a
neighhor as menaces her peace on the

moved we can and do ind consolation

one. in view of which the amount of
work already done is marvellous: the
whole state enlisted, plans of operation
devised and adopted, satisfactory trans
portation arrangements effected with the
railroads, data and suitable matter set
ting forth what the state has to offer as
inducements to home seekers, both as to
the state and each county in the state.
We may say, in view of these things,
the work is in a very gratifying state Of
advancement.

Lines composed on the death of littl,
Annie Ulrich, who died in the woods
near Upper Lehigh, three years ago;
Darling Annie we have lost thee,
Why didst thou 90 astray;
We have listened for thy foot steps,
But our watch was all in vain.
In the nights these words | uttered
so My child where canst thou be?
Do | hear thy voice calling
Dear nam, do come to meY'
Dear mother wipe your tears
And for me don't weep no more;
For me came shining Angel
And bore me to the other shore,
Where there is no hour of parting,
All in joyful peace and love,
Where are thousands of such children
Singing round the throne above.
On that dark night, yes, / wandered,
Where no one could hear my cry;
But that Angel did me comfort,
And these words he did reply
Fear not, my little pilgrim,
Tho be lost on mountain high,
Thou art found among the Jewels
In the home beyond the sky"
When on earth | was stranger
Here is my native land,
With ten thousand white robed Angels
Round the throne of Christ | stand,
Singing everlasting anthems,
Golden harps within their hands,
Crown of glory upon their foreheads;
o. What sweet and happy land.
o That night my dearest mother,
As upon the rocks / laid,
Almost perished, wet and hungered,
Little Annie was afraid.
In the morning when l awakened
| turned my eyes up to the sky,
They fall upon the rocky pillars,
Little Annie now must die.

While at Play.

The Mystery OF a little Boys Death
While at Play.
Herbert H~ersogen, an eight-year-old
son of MI. H.. Hersogen, of No. 551 Jersey
avenue, was Il over yesterday afternoon
and killed by Groceryman Phalen's
wagon, a short distance from Phalen's
store. near the junction OF First street
and Jersey avenue
The boy was playing with some others
about four O'Clock when the accident
happened. None but the boys were spec
tators. For this reason it seems difficult
to ascertain who was driving the wagon
az the time.
Charles II. PARROT, who had been asked
by Mr.. Phaten to deliver q barrel OF flour
was supposed to have been in charge Of
the wagon, but he declares he was not
driving at the time. He knew
nothing Of the accident till after
supper when his sister told him Detective
Clark had been in search of him. He i'm
mediately hnstened to the Grove street
station house and surrendered himself.
There were two other boys in the wagon.
One was Mr.. Phalen's fourteen-year-old
son.. who Parrott thinks had hold Of the
reins when the wagon passed the scene
Of the accident. Young Pitalen did not
show up in court this morning.
The little fellow died an hour after the
accident happened. There are no marks
upon his body excepting a slight bruise
about the temples.
