We published in another column an
article from the River Falls journal in
favor Of taxation Of West Wis Railroad
lands, which is entirely sound; but the
Journal supports Judge Barron, who
actively supported the continued exemp-
ton from taxation Of those lands, as is
shown by his votes and speeches in tho
Assembly last winter.
Will the Journal explain whether it
thinks Judge Barron's course in that
matter was just, aud whether his action
in packing committees and actively lob
bying last winter for the continued ex-
emption from taxation Of these lands
was either dignifed or honorable
True Republican.
We think Judge Barron's course
upon the taxation Of those railroad lands,
uuwisc; but, like Hon. q. d. Parker,
aud many others, We think he has
seen his errors in this respect, and that
no will correct the same.
or one fact he can rest assured, aud
that is this: The voters OF this por-
ton Of the district will expect him to
! reverse his action on that question.

once had class who had been

to ascertain the condition Of the class

accustomed to recite. Their usual les
son was one short paragraph. l found
every member of the class could recite
it perfectly, and at the omission of a
little word "the," or "yory," hands were
raised to show that an error had been
made. After hearing five or six recite
in that parrot like style, it began to be
somewhat monotonous, to me at least,

what the Navigation Act was. They
did not and said they had never thought
that it meant anything. The words con-

entire effort being to commit to memo

difficulty be brought to take any gener-

Poetry
The Old, Old Home.

Wien long for sainted memories,
Like angel troops they come,
If l fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the old, old home f -a
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rose-buds from the bla.t, a
Where girlhocd's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed; r
To that sweet spot forever, r.-.
As to some hallowed dome,
Life's pilgrim bends her vision
l 'Tis her old, old home f
father sat, how proudly,
BY that hearthstone's rays,
!. And told his children stories ID
d. OF his early manhood's days.
And one soft eye was beaming,
Thus mother counts her treasures,
In the old, old home. 80 @
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn,
(Some dear one who was swelling it
Is with the Seraphim,
The fond good nights al bedtime,
How quiet sleep would come,
And fold us all together
IN the old, old home
Like wreath of scented flowers
Close intertwine each heart;
But time and change in concert
Have blown The wreath apart
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come, ...
If fold my arms and ponder
On the old. old home.
