TUE PROPHETIC DEW DROPS.

A delicate child, pale and prema-
turely wise, was complaining on a
hot morning that the poor dew
drops had been too hastily snatched
away, aud not allowed to glitter on
the flowers like other happier dew
drols,* that live the whole night
through, and sparkle in the moon
light, and through the morning, and
EDWARDS to noon.day. "rhe SUM-"
said the child, '.hns chased them a.
way with his heart--.or swallowed
them in his wrath" Soon after
| came rain and a rainbow; wksreup.
on his father pointed upwards
"See," said he, "there stand thy
dew drops gloriousIy rosetta gilt
tering jewelIry-in the heavens, and
the clo%nish foot tramples on them
| no more. By this, my chiid, thou
art taught that what witllers upon
earth, blooms again in heaven.
Thus the father spoke, and knew not
that he spoke pre-fgurative words:
for soon after, the delicate child,
with the morning brightness of his
early wisdom, was exhaled, like a
dew drop, into heaven.
-a
. Ii the dew is evaporated Immediately
upon the rising OF the sun, rain aud storm
follow in the afternoon; bu. il it stays and
glitters for long time alter sunrise, the
day continues taiE.
Importance Of Female Educ0tioe.
| Who is it that mouids and directs
the character of our boys for the first
ten or twelve years of their life g.
Not the father; for such are his en-
gagements, or such the state and re.
serve of his manners, that his SONS
but rarely come in contact with
him. No; it is in the nursery; it is
in the gentle and attractive society
OF tile mother; it is in her affections
ate bosom, and on her lap. that the
blossoms of the heart and mind begin
their bloom; it is she who tends the
twig, and thus decides the character
of the tree. How then ought she to
be accomplished for this important
office! How widely and diversified
her reading and information! How
numerous the historic models of great
men with which her memory should
be stored! How grand and nubIe the
tone Of her own character!

Notice to Roadmakers.

9yHE board OF directors Of the Fauquitr
4 and Alexandra Turnpike Company
hereby give notice that having prepared
the necessary funds for the extension OF
that road from auckland to Warrenton, a
distance of 8 or miles, they will on We'd
nesdaY, the l1peaty-ninth day of Septem
Der, 1894. meet at Warren,on (Fsuquler
Court House,) for the purpose of selecting
the route, and
Lettingthe making of The Road
to the lowest bidders The mode of con.
s,ructioD, and the terms Of the contracts,
will then be particularly made known; but
il may now be mentioned. that the board
is enabled to grant unusual facilities to
contractors who may desire early pay
menis of money. Two different routes
have been surveyed and distinctly marked
out, plat OF which, with explanatory
notes, has been deposited with the clerk
OF the county court at Warrenton, and will
be shown by him, at any time before the
day of meeting. Either OF the directors
(three ofswhom live near Varre0ton) VIII
give any other information in bis power, 1t
applied to On the day OF meeting the
board OF directors will dehnitlvely adopt,
toe one or the other route as laid down IN
the plat, with such exceptions and pIovi-
sions as may then be made known; and IN
making tbs selection, they will be iniu-
eDced in considerable degree by the fa-
cihties which the land holders on the dit.
ferent routes may be disposed 10 afford -
As an inducement TO roadmakers al
distance, il may be mentioned, that
further and considerable extension OF this
road beyond Warrenton Is contemplated,
and in all probability will be carried into
effect, as soon as the road to that place
shall have been completed, under The con.
tracts now to be made. Persons disposed
to contract for this road, will do well to
inform themselves of the mode adopted
for some years past in Eng land and latter
ly, in some few instances, in this country,
under the designation of the Nc ,.adGms'
plan. Ii is believed to abridge considera-
blv the expense of road,making, whilst the
comfort and permanency of roads are in.
creased--and It will probably be adopted
BY the board of directors. Information on
this subject may be had from the subscrl.
