YOU KISSED ME.
BY JOSEPHINE S. HUNT.

The following exquisite poem was
Iritten in 1867, when the author was
young lady under twenty. 1t was
ddressed to a certain young gentleman,
he hero of the occasion portrayed.
ames Redpath thought so well OF the
'oem that he once published quite an
dition on white satin ribbon. Whittier,
he poet, wrote OF 1t and ITS young au.
hor, that she had truly mastered the
scret of English verse.
You kissed me. my head
Dropped low on your breast,
With feeling of shelter
And infinite rest.
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast
Oh. your arms were so bold!
Heart beat against heart
In their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
Ny soul through my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist
From the sea to the skies.
Your lips chung to NINE
Till | prayed in bliss
They might never unclasp
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed me, my heart
And my breath and my will,
In delirio us JOY,
For a moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were | this instant
An angel possessed
OF the peace and the 10Y
That are given the bleSt,
IiwOutd fling my white robes
Unreplningly down.
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown.
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest.
Your lips upon mine,
My head on your breast.
You kissed me! my soul.
In bliss so divine.
Reeled and Swooned like drunk
en- man.
Foolish with wine.
And thought 'twere delicious
To die there. if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath
If my heart might grow cold
While your arms claSred m!
round
In their passionate fold.
And these were the questions
l ask day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight:
Would you care II your breast
Were my shelter as then.
And. il you were here,
Would You kiss me again:

THE END.

The year 1881 has been set down
by those who assume to know, as the
end of this terrestrial sphere. Whether
or not their calculations will prove to
be correct remains TO be seen. There
are a great many people who are not
making any especial preparations for
the coming of the end of time, and
among them are the New York Times
folks who regard this question as fol-
lows:
Among that large class Of reasoners
who hold that Il number of impoSsi-
bllitips make probability, and that
three or four probabilities constitute
certainty, the fact that several dis
tiuct kinds of lunatics agree in be-
| lieving that the world will end in 1881
viii very likely be considered to be
worthy of serious attention. Other
people will not incline to this opinion.
The ''Shipton'' prophecy is simply a
forgery; the mathematical fortunes to
which the figures 1881 are subjected
might be inflicted with equal ease on
any other date. aud the Second Adj
vent people have made so many fail
ures in their Interpretation of the
Apocalypse that they clearly deserve
no sort of credit. AS for tho pyra-
midial prophets, this is the first occa-
sion on which they have attempted t"
put their calculations to the test, and
though it is, of course, an awfully
solemn thing to reflect that if Piazzi
| Smythe has counted correctly, there
are eighteen hundred and eighty-one
nctches in the grand gallery, we may
comfort ourselves by assuming that
the nOtches represent, not the years
of the Christian era, but something of
purely local Importance. such, for
example, as the number of barrels of
beer consumed by the workmen.

TAXATION.

The settled portions of the State of
Wisconsin are pretty generally cover
cd with mortgages. Most people have
been more or less in debt during the
past ten OF fifteen years, and under
our tax laws have paid taxes upon
what they ostensibly possessed as well
rs upon their Indebtedness. AS each
curing tax-paying period arrives
the people murmur because OF the
heavy 9uIden of taxation, with scarce
thought of their power to secure q
more equitable distribution of this
burden. We have before indicated
how this might be done, without a
shadow of injustice to the money
lender. and materially decrease the
tlXes paid by those who are involved
in debt. Briefly stated. the method
would I've .his: Abolish the provision
Of law that requires the holders IF
mortgages to return to the assessor
! the value of notes secured thereby. and
+ then require the tax collector to give
a separate receipt Tor the tax paid on
mortgaged premises covering the pro-
portion mortgaged. making such re-
/ ceipt applicable to the payment Of in
I terest on the debt. This would Sc.
cure the assessment and consequent
tlxation of all mortgages and prevent
the manifest injustice of what is
practically double taxation of part
We have never heard and cannot con
ceive = tenable argument against ths
I enactment of such a Law, and wonder
that our wise lawmakers who legis
late for the dear people" have not
long since furnished the relief that il
| would afford.

WHY P

A Columbia county farmer, through
the columns of the Portage Register,
asks the following questions
"Why are railroad passes given
to our legislators who assemble at our
State capital each year to make laws
for the 'dear people" who elected
them to office, by the different rail
roads which have the honor of carry
ing them !
Does not the law give them ample
compensation to cover their travelling
expenses in the shape of mileage
fees =
Are not such fees regularly drawn
from our state treasury by each and
every legislator
Is it for the purpose of bribe or
to pay them for legitimate services
rendered to railroad companies that
they receive such passes
What services are due from our
legislators to railroad companies more
than to any other class of private CT
tizens of the state for whom the laws
are made !
Relating to burdens the writer above
quoted says:
1T has been said that the common
people of America are willing bur-
bearers up to certain point.
after which none are more unwilling
than they to bear the burdens of
others We, of the farmers, ire
spective of political party, begin to
| feel that there are burdens we have
carried about long enough, amongst
/ which are
i. The paying of exorbitant freights
to railroad companies fCr carrying our
produce TO market.
,. Being at tile mercy of certain
aen or places in the selling of our
produce, arising from an unequal dis
/ crimInation OF freights in favor Of
| persons and places as against Others.

| fulneSs on the part of our law makers.
