THE ROADS.
| WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT THEN.
! MR.. EDITOR, friends and fellow citi-
zens Of the masculine gender;
AS the spring elections are now near
at hand it is time 20 think about the
matter Of public improvements. And
first and foremost Of these are, tho
roads.
For years we have turnpiked and
graded, filed, put in sluice-ways and
made excavations, and enbankments.
Where are our boasted roads to-day?
Nearly six months Of rainy weather,
and where are the good roads? and
Echo says, ''Where?"
Something must be done at once.
Our women, good souls, have become
tired Of staying at home, and unless
we move in the matter, we shall have to
live in the barn. out Of the reach OF
their tongues. 1t is Of no use to try to
reason with a woman to tell her how
you have scraped, and rolled, and ploW-
ed in the highway. They would listen
to it, and, likely enough, pretty soon,
they'll all run off to a country where
there are men who make good roads.
Then what will you do?
What is the trouble wish our way Of
working the roads?" "What point
have we overlooked" / answer
Drainage. Ask the Co. Supt,, and he
will say,9"Drainage." Don't ask your
wife, for she will say, you're afne set

matter is without asking me.') And
she might not stop talking right off ei-
ther)os Finally, examine them your
self, end see if it is not the matter Of
drainage. f a-A 4lsa.

Then YOU can haul your produce to
market in wet weather. Then will you
receive the smiles Of the fair ones, and
riding or visiting, her mind will be Ia
ken up with the beauties of nature, or
the pleasures of social intercourse, and
she will forget to so often remind you
of your mistakes in life. Then will
you have removed another great objec-

BY all means let us improve the
roads. TRAVELLER,
