FAREWELL TO TE AWAMUTU.

t. Lov'd Te Awamutu, farc-thcc-wcll ! May cv'ry joy be thine, And c\ ci round thy lov'd Green Hill My mem'ry shall entwine. No more shall Mangaoi's bright rill In willowy ma<te be seen ; No other scene shall please so well As thy lair banks so green. 11. In other lands my lot is cast, But wheresoe'er I roam. There is no pl.itc that will compare With my IV'mutu home ! 'Tis there that friendship's not a uamc, Nor charm that lulls to rest ; ' i'is there that love is ever true, With honor in each breast ! nt. Oh ' where will prettier sight be seen Of mountain, moor, and lea, Of bush and brake, and gl.issy lake, As from Green Hill you'll sec ? And villa, cot, and grassy plot, And streams that wind along Like siher threads, in ma/y coils, Through vallejs green and long. IV. When in the stranger's land I roam, With grief I shall be mute ; When others laugh, my tears shall fall For my lov'd Te Aw.imute ! St. John's tall spire no more I'll see, Nor hear the hymns ot praise The choir was wont to sing, In happy bygone day:,. v. No more o'er Pirongia's sylvan slopes I shall watch the shadows pass, — Nor tread 'neath the pale moon's silv'ry rays Fair Green Hill's daised grass. And ne'er again shall chnrch bell chime So sweet as St. John's to me ; I shall ne'er see flower bloom so fair As on thy emerald lea ! VI. Farewell ! a. last and fond farewell 1 I may no longer stay ; And from my lov'd Te Aw T amutu friends I now must haste away. 'Neath other skies I'm doomed to roam, But never can forget — My dear old horne — the lo\ing hearts I pait from with regret. Te Awamutn, 7th April, 1880.

Thl new Pure Cash System now being 1 initiated by G. and C will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has been a great success in Sjdney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer who bujs at an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure .1 rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery, millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as ghes the bujer the ad\antagcs of a shareholder in a co-operathe. society, \\ithout the riskofbeing called upon to bear a portion of the loss should the year's business pro\e unsatisfactory. Garlick and Cram\ell will aim to retain the confidence which the public h.i\ c hitherto shown them, and arc detirmined to gi\ c the pure cash system a fair trial ; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a personal selection. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house lurniturc, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own factory, w ill be marked at the lowest remunerate c prices, and a discount of fi\e per cent, will be allowed to those who pay at the time of purchase. G. &C. having realised the entire \ alue of their stock during their late cash sale, the present stock is nkw and eh haply bought. An inspection is imited. — Garlick and Cranwej.l, City Hall Furnishing Arcade, Queenstreet, Auckland.
