NOBILITY OF SERVICE.

Every true Christian should daily
and hourly say to himself: al am In the
world that may serve" Of serving
the most honorable thing of all-almost
all are most ashamed. Every one de-
sires ouly to rule and enjoy. And this
spirit has created a new difficulty in the
social process. sort of modern world
problem in the adjustment of the rela
tons of labor and capital. But the
truth is, men of all conditions must learn
to regard themselves as servants, else
world cannot stand. A queen who wish
es only to rule and not to. serve is not
worthy to be entrusted with the-care of
geese, A bishop who does not take up
his Office as a service will not be fit for
door-tender In heaven. The Hohen-
zollerns on Prussias throne have become
the most honored and mightiest princes
on earth, because, for the most part,
they really governed in the sense, as
Frederick Ii expressed it, that 'the
king is the first servant of the state. "
That was language born wholly of
the spirit of Christianity. But Louis
XIV. of France, built the sccaffold for
his successors and the whole house Of
Bourbon, because the government was

mon fences so ''broke'' the wind as to
let the snow fall on the lee sides of them
and crowd forward into the travelled
portion of the road. The wind carries
the snow over the brow of the hill and
drops it on the protected side. When
ever it is practicable from other reasons,
to build or change roads so that they
shall pass under and along the brink of
the hills, far enough away to be shell
tered from the wind, that should be done.
and the inconvenience and expense of
drifting would be done away with. In
some locations the roads are abandoned,
by turning into the fields during the
winter season, in other places it is GUS
tomary to shovel the snow from the
travelled road. But the labor of keeping
roads passible in winter, by the shovel
and pillow, is apt to fall very unequally
on the inhabitants of a neighborhood or
a town. A few do great deal of work,
and perhaps get great deal of cursing,
even then, in their attempt to keep the
roads passible. Others living in villages
or in protected locations have little to
do toward keeping open winter roads.
In Bloomington it is difficult to get pay
from the town for labor done on the
roads in the winter, and those who work
on them feel that whatever is done is
gratuitous labor. Mr.. Bradley would
recommend either or all of the following
methods, as circumstances might de-
mand: Change of location for the road,
high, tight fences. and the removal of
fences from the road side. He would
suggest that they be kept in a good
condition when necessary, by the use of
the shovel and breaking out teams, and
that the town be made to pay the ex-
pense of the work.
S. C. Wilcox stated that one great
difficulty with the roads, is the fact
that they are fenced too narrow
much narrower than the requirements
of the law. With narrow lanes, as
most roads are, the wind from either
side deposits the snow from the sur.
rounding fields, just where it ought not
to be-in the middle of the Travelled
way. In Albany the select men have
compelled certain parties to put theil
fences back on to the legal line of the
highway and much good has resulted
therefrom. He spoke of one badly drift
ing piece of road that had been com.
pletely remedied by slight change il
the road. Mr.. Wilcox spoke of the
great disadvantages of drifting roads
and blocked up roads to a neighborhood
and believed that every man SHOULD
labor to keep them In such condition
as to invite travel.
DR.. George A. Human had had ;
great deal of practical experience will
drifting roads, and had come to tn
conclusion that the fences were of grea
disadvantage to roads and to the town
He believed that the unnecessary fence
|
in Charleston cost annually as much a
the taxes of the town. He recommends,
the doing away with all fences excep
those surrounding the pastures.

At the meeting of the Pomona grange
held at Irasburg, Dec. 9Th the subject
of drifting roads" was discussed, and
the following will be brief abstract of
the remarks of several gentleman on the
subject:
Mr.. Geo. A. Tinker spoke of certain
road that had been elevated in the
travelled track so high, that the snow
was blown from it instead of being lodg.
ed upon it. He was familiar with a
very drifting piece of road in Morristown,
that had been remedied by the erection
of high, tight, board fence. This fence,
as well as many, built along the
line of the ?. & o. Railroad track, are
effectual barriers against the drifting
SHOWS. Mr.. Tinker thought it imprac-
ticable to do away with highway fences,
though the roads might drift less with
out them. He had noticed in Canada,
where road fences are dispensed with
that the fields are not protected from
the invasions of cattle, and that the
mowings are injured by transient cattle
He believed that road fences, at presen
are necessity.
Homer Bradley was familiar with the
good effects of high board fences, and
with the absence of fences. He ex
planned how the snow was left in places
