THn OLD HOUSE AT HOME.

aI0 b. tf9
Oh, tho old house At home, where my fore.
fathers dwelt, " E"',
Where child at the feet Of my mother ]
& knelt, fl' ~ n
Where she taught mo tho prayer, where
she read me the page, Ia
Which il infancy lisps is the solacs OF age;
My heart mid all changes,wherevsr roam,
sNe'er loses its love for the old house at
~ home.
The old house al home, the old house at
ft'is home,
My heart never changes for the old house
fGi Il at home.
Twas not for its splendor that dwelling
was dear,
Twas not that the gay and the mobiles
81 So were near; a"
iO'sr the porch the wild rose and the wood
.n slls 'bine entwin'd, 7
And the sweet scented jessamine waved in
,siag the wind
But dearer to me than proud turret or
- a dome,
Were the halls Of my fathers, the old house
,iaG5 athome.
The old house At home, the old house at
- ~ home,
siMy heartnsver changes for the old house
,SH at home.
en- i 9eA aQf
But now the old house is no dwelling for
sfl me,
The home Of the stranger henceforth it
lfs q must be, '
And ns'er shall view it, or rove as guest,
Der the evergreen fields which my faith
5% ers possess'd;
Yet still in my slumbers sweet visions will
s st come
Ofthe days that | passed at that old house
~ at home.
The old house at home, the old house at
ts3' 6 home,
My heart never changes for the old house

NJ. KOSS UTH AND THE HUNGARIAN
LOAN.

In his speech to the People of Cleveland, Ohio,
M. Kossuth took occasion to call the attention
of his hearers to the shares in the Hungarian
loan, which he said were now ready. He assured
them that the loan would certainly be repaid and
entered into detailed statement of the vast value
of the salt mines of Hungary. to prove that from
this source alone abund ant resources would be
derived, when Hungary shall be free. These
mines, he said, now yielded revenue TO the Aus.
TRAN government Of $4,000 900 per snnum.-
This may all be true and NJ Kosauth may sin
carely entertain the opinion that the shareholders
will ultimately be fully reimbursed but we i'm.
agine some sort Of security more tangible than
these salt works will be required, before Jonathan
will consent to operate largely in this peculiar

Governor Farwell, in his late Message to the Leg
islature OF Wisconsin, shows that Tie finances Of
the State, Tor the year ending the 3lst December
are in no very credltable condition. He says:
"By reason of g want of funds available tor such
purposes in the hands of the Treasurer, the allow
ances and special appropriations made by the last lie
gslature, and the Ordinary and current expenses of
the year provided by law, and otherwise established
have not been paid within the of $s3S 2S3 % y
The Governor estimates the expenses OF the pre-
sent year at 100000, and thinks that the available
sources will exceed thar sum, He recommends,
amongst other things, the adoption OF General Bank
ing Law, and that Congress should be memorslized
on The survey and sale of agricultural and mineral
lands; the Improvement OF rivers aud harbois; the
establishing at Washington oil Agricultural Bureau;
the free navigation of the St. Lawrence; and modi-
fcaton Of the present Tariff, so as to secure re-
veaae, and to afford adequate protection to agriculture
