A treasure, a thing of life to me,
Seems my beautiful ship as she sails
o'er the yea,
Ger star-roofed caverns, DER mines of
gold,
o'er towers and temples and palaces

Where ages and ages the pillows have
rolled.
Proudly she sweeps DER fields ef blue.
The woeing winds whisper, be true, be
true;
Away she glides, over blossoming
bowers
The waves have hardened to marble
, those flowers,
And nothing know they of sunshine
| or showers.
In dear, dear home by the whisper
ing sea,
Are violet eyes now waiting for me,
But, o! tits thousand leagues or
more;
A thousand leagues to that far green
shore,
And my heart grows sad as I count
them DER.

Within this period the rate of
State taxes has been reduced thirty
seven and a half per cent. On JAN

The rate for State interest has been
reduced to 10 cents on the 800 by
