sore throat; that's the aunt, and the
eldest of the two ladies [ net at the
cemetery.
[ had not finished when the rotten
| bell-rope came down with G-'s
violent pull, and then we rushed
along the passage. and / could hear
him shouting to stop that lady
who's going out" I tried to follow,
but sank back into my chair from
weakness. Lest the invalid should
be alarmed, | went into her room.
She was shaking with terror, and
begged me not to leave her.
Don't you like your aunt, then?'
She's not my aunt, said she, but
she told me to call her so. She was to
travel with me, my guardians said.
She's always reading that dreadful
book"
DR.. c. returned; the old expert
enced bird had fed, but detectives
were seeking for her already, and de-
scriptions of her we're flashing along
the wires. A good nurse was sent to
my patient, who was for the future
under our medical care. Of course,
we communicated with her guardians,
and very soon she was surrounded by
loving friends.
The police, though unsuccessful In
their search after the elder woman,
took upon themselves to break open
her boxes and Writing-desk. In the
latter they found a letter in disguIs-
ed handwriting letter that seemed
a confession Of betrayal, at the same
time that it deied the person to whom
it was addressed, and read as if she
had threatened revenge.
Experts declared the writing to be
that of the murdered man; and put
ting all the dark facts together. we
concluded that the poisoner had been
actuated by Jealousy and revenge.
The man had been attracted by the
fair young girl, and had thus reused
the stormy passions Of cruel woman.
Bearing In mind the precarious
condition of the invalid, those dark
eonjectures were never revealed to
her. Indeed, the shock to myself
was great, and it was mournful to see
nay patient fading away. ~
{" How changed you are /" she said
to me as we met one day in the ceme-
terry. a eHa- r.
I" And you; you ought not to be
out" - --
/" 1t makes no difference, was her
answer, except that seem to suffer
more indoors. And it can't last long;
and she continued, you know we
got him put there" pointing to the
grave she had left.
They now rest together. Bury
me beside him, were her last words.
1t was done. I-tl94 az

ROADS THE MEASURES OF CIVILIZATION

ROADS THE MEASURES OF CIVILIZATION.
The highways of nations are the mea-
sure of their civilization. Without roads
there cannot be society, government,
commerce. gr intelligence. In exact
proportion 10 the abundance and excel
lence of highways are the exchange of
services between men, the communica-
tion of thought, the economy of labor,
the augmentation OF wealth, the growth
of comfort, the development and consol>
idation of the civilized state.
No higher proof of the grandeur and
wisdom of the Roman rule of the world
need be sought, than the wonderful sys-
tenn of arched roads, ditched on both
sides, and raised above the surrounding
level, paved with stone upon beds of rub>
BILE or concrete, with elevated walks for
foot passengers, running always in
straight lines and on uniforiu grsdes,
tunnelling mountains and spanning riv-
ers with cut~stone arches, which radi-
sted from Rome and trayersed Italy,
Gaul, Britain, Germany, Macedonia,
Asia Minor, the principal islands of the
Mediterranean. and all of northern Afri-
ca. These highways, built and main-
iained at the governments expense,
tied the provinces TO the capital, and
bound Asia, Africa and Europe To Rome.
They made smooth and swift the move-
ment of infantry and cavalry. They
cheapened TO Italy the spices. silks. aud
cloths of Asia, the wheat and linen OF
Egypt, the tin and copper of Britain,
the iron, wool, and oil of Spain, and the
furs, leather and timber of Germany.
Without these roads the conquests made
by the Romans could not have been
maintained. The care of them was a
civil office which conferred high honor
and power. and was sought by ambi>
tious men of the noblest and wealthiest
families.
British civilization, and the deyelop-
ment of British industry and commerce,
and the wonderful accumulation of
wealth in Great Britain, have kept pace,
first, with the building of turnpikes;
second, with the construction of canals
and rlackwster navigation as better
highways than earth roads; and third,
with the founding of the marvellous sys-
tenn of railways which now covers Eng
land as with q net work. Before the
Rocket" locomotive was perfected Eng
land had built 2, 900 miles of water COM
munication, st an outlay of $3.50, ,000, 900.
The $4,000 miles OF railway which were
created by Stephenson's engine did not
supplant the use of these artificial riv>
ers. On the contrary. the traffic grew.

THE appointment and confirmation of
General Longstreet TO be Surveyor of
the port of New Orleans, il the first in
stance of a rebel officer being appointed
to position. 1t is generally esteemed by
the Republican press as highly cons

earnestly to restore fraternal relations

The 81. Joe UHioa says the editress
of the GhicdgoidH is trying TO convince
the world that the marriage institution
is failure. This is the burden of her
song. In recent issue of that paper,
we find the following upon that subject:
Marriage, under its present law and ussge
has become only legaliEed prostitution, and
its Ignorant victim need not turn up its dain-
IL nose quite so high at more honest forms
of its own aesh and blood. The poor, soiled
rags of womanhood, that move by chance
the full depths of pity or dete.tation in every
manly heart, are every whit as good as the
welded Wantou, who, with lie in her heart
and vain formula on her lips, sells herself
at wholesale once and for all nc the marriage
altar, and insnlts heaven by calling il tn wit

Ny touch is ike the touch of death;
With crooked head ard double tail,
My coming makes the world turn pale.

Though high and spotless in my birth,
I'm bassly trsmpled to the earth.
