The village authorities of Rockville Centre have decided to sell all pipp- erty on which the taxes are not p^id, as the law requires. If our- village auth(*rities should obey the law in this respect the list of people who neglect to pay their taxes would be an interest¬ ing one, and the tax rate would be Ipwer.

They   are   gone,   our   household  treas¬ ures
(Jone from our earthly sight, .-\nd have left all earthly plea.sures
For a fairer world of light. First death took our little Wellie
From our fond embrace away. While we watched around his jiillow
Weetiing, praying he might stay; While our hearts were sore   and   bleed- ^ ing
Fell another heavy blow. When we looked upon our Everitt,
Knowing he too must go. /'\nd no more we hear the jiatter
Of their busy little feet. And the childish words they uttered
Never more our ears shall greet. Who can tell the mother's anguish
Or the father's deeji distress'.' How the aching hearts will languish
Of its loved ones bereft. And we laid them down together
.Side by side beneath the .sod, But^their souls, will   rest forever
On the bosom of our (iod.
"To The Freeport Girls" By Jno. .1. Beekman. I think they're just perfection;
They always look so fine. Thev're a dandy lot of girls.
Oh!   would one but be mine. I'd give the starry planets
For one of eyes of blue; I'd crown her queen of Nassau,
I'd love her ever true.
1 do not like a flag staff.
Nor do I like a jiost. I do not like a t<in weight.
Nor do I like a ghost. I love you Freeport maidens.
So full of fun and glee. You're my ideal of
What beauty ought to be.
I love you BYeeport maidens,
You all appear divine. And were I were not married.
One of you would be mine. But creatures of perfection,
I've married good and stout. So maidens fair and handsome.
Just count me down and out.
