Disadvantage of Being an American.

Americans are acquiring in for
eign countries, a reputation for Law
ish expenditure which sometimes
operates to our disadvantage. A
correspondent in Naples writes as
follows
1t is very unfortunate to speak
the English language. Answering
aquestion Of an American yesterday
at dinner, cost ME a franc. which
was moderate. l had ordered my
dinner in Trench, and as the waiter
was not very well versed in that Ian
guagc he took me for Frenchman
but thu English language was the
signal for an advance in my bill. A
few days ago I went into a cameo
shop and asked in French the price
of n miniature, and was told thirty
francs. I went ten PAGES further
and asked in English the price of the
same thing, and was told sixty francs.
My gentle reader-all readers are
gentle-if you ever expect to visit
this continent begin to study French
and German now; and when the
shores of America fade in the dis
tance, speak your last word of Eng
lisl until your return.

DRAINAGE OF ROADS.

Itisimpossible, without floating
bridge, to make permanently good
road on wet foundation. MacAd-
am, the inventor of Macadamized
roads, used to say that he cared not
what material was the foundation of
a road, provided it was dry. The
great fault of road-making is the
want of drainage at the bottom
Take a tight eask and fill it with
any earth, sand, clay, loan, or even
gravel, then pour in as much water
as it will hold; then take wooden
rammer and attempt to beat the
mass solid, and the more you beat
it, the softer it becomes you wo'd
not expect to make a hard shell on
the top, by such means. So it is
with a road, through a swampy or
springy place; the water is at the
bottom, and by attraction works up
and keeps the surface wet, and no
amount of gravel or of rolling can
form a hard track above it. 1t is
not the water which falls directly
upon the road thdt does the great
est harm, for this may be easily dis
posed of, although with a wet fohn
dation, the rain increases the diff
Guilty, there being no passage for it
downward, as there is in a soil
which is underdrained.

A NEW SYSTEM NECESSARY.

The first thing to be done is tc
adopt the plan of raising the mon
cy for repair roads, and putting in.
to the hands Of single agent who
shall be responsible that all the
highways of the town shall be at all
times safe, and in as good repair as
possible. Oxen and horses and
carts, and all the implements re-
quired in summer and winter, sho'd
be put in his charge and he should
hire by the year or the month or
day as he finds to be the most con-
venient and profitable, as many
men as are necessary for his work.
In this way we have first, a compe-
tent agent, or at least an agent who
may be soon educated for his bust
ness; secondly, corps Of laborers
who can work a. the time the re-
pairs are needed, who can repair
the damage by freshets or heavy
showers in summer, and at once
break out the snow paths in winter.
A little in filling hole, in turning
water from a road that has been
washed out, may save ten times the
labor it costs, and seasonable reno
val of round, loose stones from the
surface, or digging out fast stones
from the path, may save many an
accident, and the constant discom-
fort Of travellers.

Country Roads.
BY JUDGE FRENCH OF MASS.

Reader, did you ever work out
your highway tax? If you have
done so, and were not a farmer OF
laborer, but went out on notice
from the district Surveyor, from
your store or office, partly for q
frolic and partly to pay your tax
easily, you know how much valua-
BILE service the town received from
your labor. All the boys in the
village were there every old man
who had strength enough to stand
up by leaning on his hoe, was there +;
the soft handed shoemaker, the tail
or, and perhaps the lawyer and the
minister all were ready at eight
O'Clock, a. m., to "mend the roads"
The Surveyor, elected probably be.
cause he wanted to repair the road
that leads through his neighbor-
hood, and not because he knows
anything about road-making, is at
hand with all the oxen and steers in
his district, with their owners for
drivers, and the town plow made
left-handed to plow nearer to fences,
is ready.
After a short caucus of Surveyor
and teansters, the plow is set into
the gutter, and with three or four
boys on the beam, the whole crowd
screaming, and the drivers applying
the goadstick, the furrow is turned
and space some ten feet wide is
plowed by back -furrowing, into a
ridge. Then this material, consist
ing of sods, and the sandy wash of
the road, of clay or loamy soil is
pitched with forks and shoyels into
the pathway, the hoes carefully lev
elling it into the ruts, and always |
rounding it up as much as possible |
to shed rain, and so the road is
mended Any traveller that way for
the next month, avoids the patch if
possible, as the place is always the
worst of the road for some weeks.
Sometimes a substance called gray
ell is found by cutting down on the
top of some sand hill, and a few
loads of this, which is oftenera hard
pan, which, being half clay, will al
ways be either mud or dust, are ap-
Piled on top of the compost from
the road side ditch. And so the
lay goes on; the men tell stories,
lhe boys play pranks, and all have
4 good time generally.
The prices paid for labor is fixed .
1T the highest rate, and every man
has, by law, a right to work out
his tax by his personal labor at the
prescribed rate, and every man hay
ng a working beast and cart claims
% have them work also, and be al
owed the full time.
Everybody knows that the amt
of money thus nominally expended
$ not worth one half what it would
)e, if expended under the direction
If a skillful road maker, with the
money all in hand, at liberty to pay
t out as he pleased.

to a higher and better life.

simple, earnest piety as to be them
selves examples to the church mem
bers.
3. To be discreet and wise in vista
tons. so as that piety will not appear
to be ostentatious or obtrusive. and
yet, as far as practicable, to leave a
cheerful religious impression on all
visited.
4. To CO. operate with the pastor in
the conduct of prayer meetings, so
that there shall be no drag-always
prompt, brief, and to the point in
prayers and remarks.
5. To maintain religious exercises.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL, in his con-
troversy with Mr.. Vickers, declares it
to be an error to maintain that the
Church ought to be separated from
the State, and the State from the
Church, for these should act in har-
mony like soul and body. He further
insists that the Church has the power
and it is her duty to declare what is
heresy, and quotes the Fathers of
his Church as teaching that the secu-
lar power is bound to repress heresy.
We must conclude, then, that when
the Catholic Church is politically able
to do so, Church and State in this
country will be united, and heretics
will be punished by the secular power.
We confess, to some surprise, that the
Archbishop should so boldly an
nounce such, an anti-democra ic
theory.
