which a young German boy lost hia
life in identically the same manner as

In 1853 the frame building which
stood on the corner of Division and
Myrtle avenues was occupied by
German family, among whom was q
bright ten-year-old boy, named
George Prickner. His father was
dead and small legacy left to him
was carefully guarded by his step,
father. On the afternoon OF July 70
Of that year young Prickner's mother
left the house to attend to some shop
ping, and the boy was left at home
washing dishes. Some boys playing
in the neighborhood attracted his at
tention, but he was not to be sweryed
from his duties. Having penny, he
promised on his mothers return to
buy candy and to divide it evenly
with the boys. One of the boys tried
to get the penny from Prickner and
chased him through the house, but
when Prickner reached the attic his
pursuer did not follow. Later the
bov's mother returned, and when the
little fellow did not come to supper
every one was alarmed and aud a sys-
temstic search was made, which was
continued several days without any
success. The Disappearance was sc
sudden and complete that it became
topic of general discussion, and every

Filling the corners of the zigzag rails,
Gliding the borders of the dreamy way
Spread in prorusion over hills and dales'
Dear to the sight as TO glad earth the day;
Bright, yellow goldenrOd!
Fair goldenrod!
The warning feather-fronds on stalks o.
green
Rise out of sterile and forbiddinS SOL;
As. with tho sweetest hearts and purest mien,
Unsullied grows some child of sin and toll,
Fair as the goldenrod!
Bright goldenrcd!
The untold treasures earth holds hid away
Are far surpassed when, with q lavish
hand.
She decks her generous breast with garlands
gay
That early autumn sees sprea1 o'r the
land
A wealth OF goldenrod!
Glal golIenrod!
When some poor maiden, copying Mother
Earth.
Above her spotess bosom let's thee rest,
Culled through thy art-what pain is 1t moi
worth
A brief hour there to lie? Thou'rt truly

Sad goldenrodl
Leaning storm-5eaten DER lonely grave
With heart as scar and dead as his VIII

Beside it vainly striving to be brave,
Whilst cold blasts whistle 'mongst I'll

Heartbroken goldenrod!
