And over nv soul in its solitude,
Sweet feeling. OF Sadness glide.
For nv heart and my eyes are full when think
OF the little boy that died.
wert one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall.
MY mother came out to meet her son
She kissed uie and then she sighed,
And her head tell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died.
shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden where he played;
shall miss HIM more by the hTeside,
When the flowers have all decayed-
I shall see his TOYS and his empty chair.
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak, with a silent speech,
OF the little boy that died
We shall 60 home to our Fathers house
To or Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope ofour souls shall have no blight,
Our love no broken ties:
We shall roam the banks of tie river of peace
And bathe in its blissful tide;
And one of the ,oys of our heaven shall be
The little boy that died.

Taxes.

AS we remarked some weeks since, the first efforts
of hostile criticism babe fair to be directed against
the action of the last Legislature account of what
it had omitted to do, rather than account of what
it had actually done. Such the fact. Every
section of the Sate-every county, might almost
say-was an applicant for State aid. Those who
got this {" State aid" were jubilant, those who did
not, were irate and dissatisfied.
But, as might have been expected, after the first
burst was over, the most sensitive point, the pocket
nerve, being attacked qCould claim hearing, and
qrould be heard. State add as an inevitable
quence involves taxation. estate add means money
The people constitute the State, and the money must

story. Those who go for liberal system" must
not feel at all surprised its results The State"
has no private purse We, all of US, in general,
are the State Its "liberal system" is our sys-
tenn; the money to carry it on is our money If The
cost the profit, then let the liberal sys-
tenn alone if, on the other hand, we think the
game worth the candle then let US burn the candle
without grumbling. We do not believe that the
Revenue Law of the last Legislature will raise one
cent than the necessities of the State Treasury
absolutely require In the amount mode of ex-
pendture, the Executive has little to say.
The liberal system being an admitted fact, 10
which, if the last Legislature had not cOnformed its
action it would have had TO encounter the loudest
and most obstreperous denunciaton, We do not see
how any reasonable objeotion can be taken against
the aggregate amount of taxation, which has, indeed
been absolutely indispensable to maintain the faitt
and credit of the State pledged by former Legislatures
The only fair question is whether not such
taxation presses equally upon the various interests
within the State, in proportion to the amount of ben
eft and protection which they receive from the Stat
government.
If it does motif it imposes unequal burdens
particular interests compelled to bear undu
proportion of the general expense-then, to such in
teress, the law is oppressive and yannical in its op
eration whatever it may have been in the intentio
of its trainers.
The fact about the matter is that taxation is sui

other. Heretofore the very small required fC
