LOST on THE PRAIRIE.
Far on distant prairie, in the CLEAN of morning

For days they'd Travelled under the unbrok.n arch

over the dank, dry grass blades, and the burning
The angry sun threw fire on the brain of man and
beast,
And not single cloud through all the
west nor east.
CO. on this glittcrng day, through the CLINT and
heat,
The breathcd oxe Travelled with cracking. scorcl-
ing feet.
Among our band of travellers was baby, soft
and fair,
Just three years old with sweet blue eyes aud
curling golden hair.
She'd been witching treasure through those long
| and weary days,
In baby glee and gladness, with her guileless win
ming ways
When darkness falls our travellers make their
| watch fires for the night.
| They dream not of the anguish that will come with
mornings light!
If for the coming morning they had had proph-
cts sight
! No, not sweet rest and dreaming; but cruel fear
full fright
The eastern moon comes floating DER the cloudcs'
One friendly beam peeps playfuy the ragged tent
top through.
Then streaming boldly on the baby sleeping there
in bliss
Alas Like Sleeping Beauty's love, it wake. her
with kiss
The little looks wondering 'round-hcrc on
A freely cleaning brightly like a star in bluest
skies
The eager little arms reach ost-she softly creeps
from bed,

Dear Innocent how sweet she is, in simple child

No tent is looming darkly there--no camp with

Only moment then she stands, bewildering tears

Her grieyng lips all trembling, her blue eyes filled

But bark "A VOLTS long hungry cry through the
dense dark she hears;

In terror dumb and widest fear she for moment

But smiling then, in touching trust. she claps her

They think she wandered OFF last night, perhnp. in

In fancy they can see her there, in shrouding
