pensive for general Introduction. How
best, with the means at hand, to improve
them, is the question, without mourning
any more expense than would be good
economy.
LIST. How best to insure the hardness of
road. Water is great softener of the
earth. The freezing of the ground in win
ter expands it. When this thaws, with rain
and snow, the water fills the loosened earth
and what was often the hardest ground be-
fore, becomes soft and apparently without
any bottom. 1t takes weeks of weary wait
ing before the roads will settle, before the
water is evaporated by the sun so as to
leave the ground in a passable condition.
If an under-drain were placed in the mid
die of the road, running lengthwise along
1t, and discharing at convenient places, it
would in two or three days carry Off this
water and leave the ground dry and hard.
The whole expense of laying two-inch tile
drains will not exceed eighty-fve cents per
rod, including cost of tiles. Now this one
improvement would have more beneficial
effect upon the condition of the roads than
four times the expense applied on the sur
face. In fact, if this is done properly, the
remainder of the expense is materially
lghtened. Three inches of gravel applied
upon a well-draincd road is worth more
than a foot, upon soft, undrained one.

WHERE WOOD CONES FROM.

If we were to take up a handful of soil
and examine it under the microscope, we
should probably find it to contain a num-
Der of fragments of wood, small broken
pieces of the branches, or leaves, or other
parts Of the tree. If we could examine it
chemically, we should find yet more
strikingly, that it was nearly the same
as wood in its composition. Perhaps, then,
it may be said, the young plant obtains
its wood from the earth in which it grows.
The following experiment will show
whether this conjecture is likely to be
correct or not Two hundred pounds of
earth were dried in an oven, and afterward
put into large carthen vessel; the earth
was then moistened with rain water, and
willow tree weighing five pounds was
planted therein. During the space of five
years the earth was carefully watered with
rain water or pure water. The willow
grew and flourishod, and, to prevent the
earth being mixed with fresh earth, or dirt
being blown upon it by tho winds, it was
covered with metal plate full of very
minute holes, which would exclude every
thing but air from getting access to the
earth below it. After growing in the earth
for five years, the tree was removed, and
on being weighed was found to have gained
one hundred and sixty pounds. And this
estimate does not include the weight of the
leaves or dead branches which in five years
fell from the tree. Now came the applica
ton of the test. Was all this obtained
from the earth 1t had not sensibly di-
minished; but in order to make the eXper-
iment conclusive, it was again dried in an
oven and put in the balance. Astounding
was the result; the earth weighed only two
ounces less than II did when the willow
was first planted in it! yet the tree had
gained one hundred and sixty-four pounds.
Manifestly, then, TIE wood thus gained in
this space Of time was not obtained from
the earth we are, there, compelled to re-
peat our question: "Wherc does the wood
come from? We are left with only two al
ternatives; ; the water with which it was re-
freshed, or the air in which ii lived. II can
be clearly shown that it was not due to the
water; we are, consequently, unable to re-
sst the perplexing and wonderful conclu-
sion-it was derived from the air.

There were 34l divorcesin Chicago last
year.
The new year brought with it n great
snow storm. The depth of snow that fell
in this region has been variously stated at
from Is TO % inches il may safely be stated
at Is inches. 1t is many years since so deep
a snow has, in this vicinity, fallen at one
time. Tho storm extended great distance,
blocking up roads and delaying trains of
cars in all directions. The sleighng is now
very good.
When will people understand that the
liquor they are drinking from day to day
is as vile and poisonous a compound as the
rascals who manufacture il dare make.

fessor's notes are amusing.->One sample he

One thousand first rate places are open to
one thousand boys who come up to the
standard. Each boy can suit his taste as to
the kind of business he would prefer. The
places are ready in every kind of occupa-
ton. Many of them are already filled by
boys who lack some of the most important
points, but they will soon be vacant. One
is an Office not far from where we write.
The lad who has the situation is losing the
first point. He likes to attend the circus
and the theatre. This costs more money
than he can afford, but somehow he manages
to be there frequently. His employers are
quietly watching to learn how he gets so
much extra spending money; they will
soon detect leak in the money drawer,
detect the dishonest boy, and his place will
be ready for some one who is now getting
ready for it by observing point No. /, and
being truthful in all his ways. Some situ-
atoms will soon be vacant, because the boys
have been poisoned by reading bad books,
such as they would not dare to show to their
fathers, and would be ashamed to have
their mothers see. The impure thoughts
suggested by these books will lead to vi
cious acts; the boys will hc ruined, and
their places must be tillcu. Who will be
ready for one of those vacancies? Distin-
tingrished law yers, useful ministers, skill
full physicians, successful merchants, must
all soon leave their places for somebody
else to fill. One by one they are removed
by death. Mind your ten points boys;
they will prepare you to step into vacancies
in the front rank. Every man who is wor-
thy to employ boy is looking for you, if
you have the points. Do not fear that you
will be overlooked. A young person hav-
ing these qualities will shine as plainly as
star at night. We have named ten points
that go towards making up the character
of n successful boy, so that they can be ca
silly remembered. You can imagine one
on each finger, and so keep them in mind
they win be worth more than diamond
rings, and you will never be ashamed TO
"show your hand"

We sat thus aide by side, Belle,

And thou vert young and fair, Belle,
Thy brow was white as snow
And look at my gray hair, Belle,

Thou'st been noble wife, Belle,
Hast done thy duty well,
And both have passed through life, Belle,
In peace no words can tell;
And now we're growing old, Belle,
Approaching fast the grave
But does thy love grow cold Belle,
Or widen like the wave?

Thy love with time will stand.

And they'll know thy worth, Belle,
For angels all ore wise.
