FLOW GENTLY, SWEET ALTON.

By Robert Burns. Flow gently, sweet Alton, among thy
 green braes; Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy
 praise My Mary's asleep by the murmuring Flow gently, sweet Alton. disturb not her
 dream Thou stock-dove, whose echo resounds
 from the hill, Ye wild whistling blackbrds in yon Thou green-erested lap-wing thy music
 forbear; I charge you disturb not my slumbering
 fair. How lofty sweet Alton thy neighboring
 hills Far marked with the courses of clear winding rills; There daily I wander as morn rises high. My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in
 my eye How pleasant thy banks and green val
 leys below There oft, as mild evening creeps over the
 lea, The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary
 and me. Thy crystal stream, Alton, how lovely
 it glides, And winds by the cot where my Mary re-
 sides. How wanton thy waters her snowy feet
 lave, As gathering sweet flowers, she stems thy
 clear wave. Flow gently, sweet Alton, among thy
 green braes Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of
 my lays; My Mary's asleep by thy murmurins
 stream, Flow gently. sweet Alton. disturb not
 her dream.

The Legislature
UNDER full STEAM
The Lawmakers Will Get Down
to Serious Work Next
Week.
Board Of Control and Rate Measures
Likely to Cause Early
Tits.

The day Of small things is past for this
legislature, and next week the solons will
battle with several important PROPOSE
tons. The house has fixed Tuesday for
a special order on the taxation amend
ment to the constitution, and Wednesday
for the inheritance tax. Early in the
week the committees that have been con-
sidering the various amendments to the
board of control bill will agree on reports.
There are many minds on this subject.
Some favor leaving the law as it is. A
greater number want a change. Some
would remove the university and normal
schools. Others would restore the schools
for the deaf and blind to independence,
and some would add the state public
school at Owatonna. to the category.
Monday afternoon is likely to witness
a shap tilt in the house between the rail
road committee and the friends of Ward
Stones rate BILL which was incontinently
turned down by the committee Wednes-
day. A determined effort will be made tc
have the bill placed on general orders.
The st. Louis junketing committee will
return tomorrow and will probably pre-
sent a report to both houses Monday
They are expected to recommend the
100000 appropriation asked for, and will
probably accompany their recommends
tons with bill to set aside such sum.
Neither house met to-day. The house
will resume work at 2 p. M, Monday aft
ernoon, and the senate at p. m.
