- WORKERS - Get the Best Value for your Money. When the quality of the goods stands head and shoulders above any you might purchase at a similar price—there is every reason to conclude that the wisest thing the workers can do is to purchase the goods containing the excess value ... at ... CAREY'S READY-MONEY STORE COLOMBO ST. Lonely Graves Beside Te Anau, stern and grand, Where silence reigns supreme ; Where your mountains stand like sentinels. And wild torrents rush between. Your fiords are so lovely, Bush-clad on every hand ; 'Tis a sight to charm the tourists Who visit this fair land. 'Tis there a lonely grave you'll find, Among the brackens tall: The headstone, a tall gum-tree— Is a mournful sight to all. No sculptured monument stands there, No scroll to tell his fate, But that's engraven in the hearts Of those who were his mates. An honest working-man was he, One who did no one wrong; The life of the lone station hand He cheered with joke and song. But now he fills that lonely grave, Who was filled with hopes like mc. The one he loved was on her way, From a land beyond the sea. He had pictured that which fills our hearts With all that life holds dear. A happy home with her he loved, And children playing near. But now no hand can stroke the brow, His mother loved to smooth ; No friendly voice can wake him now, His dream of home is o'er. O'er this fair land, where'er we go, We find these lonely graves; Some mother's darling rests there— Some sleep beneath the waves. No tears maybe were shed for them By friends and kindred near; But many heavy hearts were there 'Mong mates who held them dear. T. CALLINDER. Christchurch, 3/12/10.
