COUNTRY RoADs.-Wc have referred on
several occasions, lately, TO- the Importance OF
improving the roads in the country leading to
the towns, and villages, and railroad depots.
Our country friends may be put to a little
trouble and expense blythe improvement Of these
roads; but they would be amply compensated
ia variety of ways. A great saving, indeed,
would, in the end, be effected. Horses and
mules, wagons and CARTS would all be benefited.
Transportation of produce would be facilitated.
Time now is money. Let US then urge the re-
pair of the country roads.

FRosr WORK, The morning daWned yester.
day on as beautiful an autumn DAY as oltec ap'
pears TO those who love the keen frosty morning
air, bracing and exhilaratiug. The heavy frost
of the night before lay thick or Leaf aud flower,
not vet w;lted by the suns rays, and sparkled
in beauty on every exposed object. As
the sun rose, the effects Of the frost were
plainly seen on the vegetation, which dropped
and fell, as il scorched by fire. The forests had
donned their richest robes Of royal splendor,
the more gorgeous for being evanescent, and
with many-hued tints, meAowed and colored
the landscape. This is to most persons the
most heallul season Of theyea possessing the
tonic powers of winter, without it's discomforts,
and free from tho facilitating effects Of sum
mer, whilst retaining its pleasantness 10 a great
measure. Its also the most picturesque. A |
fading glories have peculiar interest, and the
dying summer is full Of suggestive thoughts
1--WE all do fade as leaf, is the lesson written
on tree and flower, and the many who will
never see the spring buds open, and who feel
the dull grasp of invalidism, dragging them
down day by day, will look with saddened eyes
on the frost work they may see no more, and
sigh in vain for the renewed lille and strength
which will never be theirs again. With the
winter comes sorrow and suffering to the poor
and triendless, who pick up a precarlouslivlng
during the summer, and whose lot hard in
nros,,ect ot he cominp cold +. ....rEEf
