Brother! speak in whispers light.
IT'S my last-my last good night
Never more our steps will stray,
Through the gardens scented way;
By the homestead Of the bees
Meath the shady chestnut trees;
BY the meadows winding stream,
GlitteriLg in the sunset beams;
GentIe Brother ! smile and bless
IT'S my last--my last caress.
Sister! with thine eyes of blue,
Hitler come and weep adieuP
Let thine arm around me Irvine,
Let thy cheek repose on mine,
While | gaze into thy face,
Circled in this dear embrace;
Thou hast ever proved to me
All that love could wish to be;
Yet leave thy heart alone,
Brother-Sister bless your own.
Mother : thou hast rocked my head
Softly on its cradle bed;
When the storm was raging high,
Sweetly sung loves lullaby
Yet part-I part from THEE.
Who henceforlh will sing to me,
When my forehead aches with pain 7
I ShdH miss that early strain,
Mother! with thy accents mild,
Bless, oh | bless thy weeping child.
Father thou hast loved me we'll
More than human tongue can tell;
More than wealth, since childhood's hour
Thou hast lavished on thy flower;
Now, thy locks are waxing gray,
From thy heart pass away;
Never more thy lips at eve,
On my cheeks their kiss will leave;
In thy prayer Of undertone,
Mother! Father bless your own.

The law of 1917 raised the duty to be paid for the
of the salnes from to 1919 cents per bushel, which
amount was pledged to pay the Erie Canal loan The
Constitution of 1871 ratified this pledge In consequence
of the duty being reduced by Congress foreign SALT

bushel at which rate it continued until last
season, when 1t was again reduced to one cent per

the duty foreign salt to 20 per cent These reductions
made in order to retain the market against the
foreign article Rising of $4,000. 900 have paid to the
