THE GENIUS OF THE ROADSIDE.

1t is marvellous that boys fortune
should turn upon horse shoe, and yet
for many Of Us, some of the greatest events
of our lives, have turned upon as small a
pivot Even in the humblest lives. little
opportunities lie concealed all along the
way like fairy doors which, when the right
spring is touched. will Ay open. revealing
q most glorious future. d,
One fair summer day. distinguished
looking gentlemau might have been seen
riding in his carriage along a country
road in Ulster County, New York. His
name was Aaron Burr; not the despised
and hunted Aaron Burr we read of now !;
he was then Senator Burr, one Of the most
talented and highly esteemed men in our
country. He was not an evil-looking
man; ON the contrary. his was kindly
face. lit op with brilliant black eyes.
But, about the horse shoes; As he was
driving rapidly along, one Of bis horses

blacksmith shop to have it replaced 1t
was lonely country place and. while the
blacksmith was at work, Burr strolled
through the woods and fields that lay a.
round. Returning. he noticed upon the
side Of q stable. near the blacksmi.h's 8
shop, q sketch in charcoal Of his own car
risge aud horses. He was startled ut first, 4,
it was SO wonderfully accurate and spirit
ed. He knew, too. that it must have been
executed in very few minutes. and he
stood for some time gazing at it in admi-
ration. Turning around, at length, he
noticed boy little way off dressed in
coarse homcspun. fFF4s,cl
..Who did that?" said Burr, pointing
At the picture.
II did it," said tho boy.
The Senator was astonished. Entering
into conversation, he discovered that the
boy. though ignorant, was intellectual
He also found that this young artist had
never had any instructions 10 drawing
and that be was apprenticed to the black
smith Tor six months.
Burr wrote a few lines on piece Of pa
per; and said as he wrote:
"My boy you are too smart fellow to
stay here all your life. II ever you should
want to change your employment and see
the world. just put clean shirt in your
pocket, 90 to New York and 60 straight
to that address!" handing the boy the
paper.
A soild's intuitions are quick, and as
the hey gazed into the kindly face bent
down to his, he felt that be had won q
friend he could lsse and trust.
The travellers horses now being ready
he mounted bis carriage aud was out Of

boy returned to his work in the black
smiths shop. Hs.trsssured the precious
bit of, paper though. and many day as
be worked the blacksmiih's bellows tha,
famed the glowing embers. he built gold
on dream castles. while brave. ambitious
thoughts leaped up in his heart Is the
flames leaped up from the vivid Goals.

THE COUNTY RoADs-A GOOD LAW
SUGGEsTED.-The condition OF the roads
in Augusta this winter is moving the peo-
pie to the discussion of some remedy for IL.
Merchants here in Staunton have large or
ders for produce waiting to be filed but
none can come over the frightful roads, land
the farmers at home need the money for
use but cannot get their produce to the
merchant. The people are beginning to
see that something must be done. One
gentleman on the Middlebrook road offers
to take $500 worth of stock of any compa-
ny that will organize for the Improvement
of that highway, and another ON the same
road offers to give 81 for every acre OF
land he has for stock in a similar company
Many plans are mentioned; one being the
voting of county loan of $2OO,0oO TO be
spent in matchmaking the roads, and
another is for the county to take the re-
pair of the principal roads in its own hands
and levy a tax to pay the same. The fol-
lowing is the synopsis of a bill projected
some time since by President Paris OF the
Board of Supervisors, and which it is to
be hoped will be passed by the legislature.
The following is synopsis OF it's provi-
sions:
Sec. 1, authorizes the Board Of Supervi-
sors Of Augusta, two-thirds concurring, to
designate such roads as may be deemed OF
such general utility as to justify being
kept in repair by the county at county ex-
pense. Sec. 2, empowers the Board OF Su-
pervisors to appoint township road com
missioner, OF other free holder, who shall,
from time to time, report to it what re-
pairs OF changes are necessary on the des-
ignated road and the cost. Sec. 8 requires
the Boardeannually, by Nov. LIST, to adver
tise for proposals for keeping the designa-
ted roads in repair, for one year from the
LIST of January following, the proposals If
accepted by the board to be ratified by the
County Judge in order to be OF effect. Sec.
empowers the Board to levy tax for
keeping these roads in order. Sec. 5-When
the Board thinks change of location Of
any designated road necessary, it may pc
tition the County Court, the land damages
to be paid by the County. Sec. authori-
yes the contractor to use wood, stone, &C.,
and cut bitches in the repair and construc-
ton of the road, but requires him to reim-
burse the owner of the land for material
used, commission of three free-holders to
hear and adjust complaints arising in this
respect. and award such, OIL no compensa-
ton as they see fit.
The plan is safe and sure one, but if it
doesn't meet all views, as no plan yet
drawn ever did, let us have some new one
suggested. Let us do something's public
meeting might help. Staunton will con-
tribute literally to whatever plan the coun-
ty people may inaugurate.
