Toilers in city stores, offices and eel.
lars think ofthe country, and imagine
it would be a fine thing TO lie under
the trees on the grass. Dwellers In
the country know that there is very
little grass under the trees. and that
the ground uuder the grass is damp.
But the farmer has his touch Of the
spring fever for all that, and finds il
agreeable 10 lean against the south
side Of the barn and chew straws.
Such weather sets the hens TO laying
briskly, and the barnyard resounds
with their cackling. Even the sedaie
cows refuse their hay, and look long
ingly toward the pasture lot, whose
brown surface is beginning to take
on faint green hue. Not much
work Is done on the farm on such a
day, and at nightfall the farmers boy
thinks it would be a good thing to
hitch up the bay colt and visit the
young woman whom he has been tax
ing tosinging school all winter.

Interest.

No blister draws sharper than in.
terest does. OF all industries none Is
comparable TO that Of interest. II
works all day aud night, in fair wealth
er and in foul. II has no sound in its
footsteps, but travels fast. II gnaws
at a mans substance with invisible
teeth. IL binds industry with is film
as a fly is bound in n spiders web.
Debts roll man over and over. bind.
ing hand aud foot, letting him hang
upon the fatal mesh until the long.leg.
ged interest devours him. There is
but one thing on farm like it, and
that is the Canada thistle, which
swarms new plants every time you
break roots, whose blossoms are pro-
life, and every flower the father Of
million seeds; every leaf is an awl, ey.
cry flower like platoon Of bayonets,
and field Of them like an armed host.
The whole plant is torment aud veg.
etable curse. And yet farmer had
better make his bed Of Canada thistles
than attempt to be at ease on interest.

Long visits, long stories, long es-
says, long exhortations, and long
prayers, seldom profit those who have
TO do with them. Life is short. Time
is short. Moments are precious.
Learn to condense, abridge and inten-
sify. We can endure many an ache
and i'll if it is only over soon, while
even pleasures grow insipid, and pain
intolerable, If they be protracted be-
yound the limits of reason and conve-
nience. Learn to be short. Lop off
branches; stick TO the main facts in
your case. II you pray, ask for what
you would receive, and gen through;
if you speak, tell your message aud
hold your peace; boil down two words
into one, and three into two. Always
learn 10 be short.

SOME REASONS FOR JOINING THIS AssocI A.
Ti0N.

SOME REASONS FOR JOINING THIS AssocI A.
TIoN.
The purpose and aim of this Association
is TO place within the reach Of nearly ev.
cry man the means by which he can Sc
cure to his family a comfortable living
and support after his death.
The Scriptures declare that a man is
worse than an infdel who does not provide
for his household.
1t is the duty then Of every man to make
such provisions for his family, that after
death they will not be forced upon the cold
charities Of an unfeeling world for sup
port. Persons Of moderate wealth should
also avail themselves of this assurance, as
it provides their families, after death, with
ready money 10 meet the expenses and
debts that press upon the death of every
man, and avoid the necessity of disposing,
often at great sacrifice, Of property which
their families otherwise would gladly have
retained.
This Association places within the reach
Of every man the means for the support Of
his family or friends after death.
This is the cheapest and most reliable
Association in which you can insure.
1t is the cheapest because this Associa-
ton does not tax its members with large
membership fees and annual dues with
which to pay high-salaried officers and
high-rented offices.
We claim TO have all the good that be-
longs to other insurance companies Of this
kind in this State, besides several adyan-
tages which Others do not possess.
/. Our membership fee is less than any
other corporation Of its kind in the State.
q Our annual dues are less.
8. No person is received as a member
who is over 81 years Of age.
Most Of the Mutual Assurance Associa-
tions in this State receive members TO the
age Of 65.
This works great hardship and injus
tice upon the younger members that are
insured in the companies.
The death rate Of old people must OF
necessity be much greater than younger
persons; consequently the old members
receive the benefits Of insurance whilst the
Young members will have 10 bear the bur
den of expense and taxation for the occur
ring deaths Of the old members.
This Association does not impose such
hardships and injustice upon its members.
The oldest person that can be admitted
into this Association is 81 years of age
the middle Of life, and man Of that age
bids fair TO live a great number Of years.
A member Of this Association may feel
perfectly satisfied that all the funds re-
ceiSed by this Association are secure aud
safe. All the soliciting agents are requir'
ed 10 give bond. The Secretary is requir'
ed to give bond, and the Treasurer gives an
ample and safe bond, with good and APP
proved security.
The books and affairs Of this Association
are at all times open to the inspection Of
lis member, and We INVITE an investigation
Of them.
We present this Association " the pub
lie believing that il is the cheapest and
best insurance that has been offered, aud
ask your aid and cooperation in building
up its interest.

VIRGINIA FOR JUDGE FIELD.-We
are not of those who deride and speak
contemptuously of Mr.. Tilden. We
think it would be calamity to the
party to nominate him, for it is as
plain as day that he could not be
elected. II he and General Grant are
nominated, it is our belief that the
State of Virginia would go for Gen.
eral Grant, If Judge Field and Gen

fixed belief that the State of Virginia
would go for Judge Field by an over
whelming majority. - Richmond

e Road Commissioners.

Appointments Made and Applications for Others-AnEhOny Carroll Wants Copies of Certain DOcuments-Buls for January Approved. The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Road Commissioners was held last evening. Present, Commissioners Chatfeld (presiding), Coleman, Pond and Anderson. Mrs. Thomas Royce was appointed to main-
 tain the lamps at the end of East street sewer dock, in place of her late husband, deceased. The com mpensation is fifty cents per day. The woman performed the work during her hus-
 bands late illness.
 Anthony Carroll appeared before the Board
 and stated that he came at the request of the legislative committee on cities and boroughs to procure copies of bids and contracts, vouchers and specifications of the sewer on Derby ave- nue and West Chapel street, and for copies of
 other papers relating to this department. President Chatfield informed Mir. Carroll that the originals would be taken to Hartford whenever the committee wanted them, which
 would be better than copies.
 Mir. Carroll said he wanted copies so that he might be prepared when the matter came up.
 Clerk Waldron asked Carroll if he gave the Board an opportunity to be prepared when he called them thieves and rascals in Hartford yesterday.
 Carroll replied that he could back up all he said and 8 good deal more. He soon after left the room.
 It was voted to continue the smelling of Kim
 berly avenue, this being the wish of a majority of the property holders. The Board voted to allow Anthony Carroll to copy the papers he had asked for. The petitions of Patrick Burns to be ap- pointed Superintendent of Parks, and of
 John D. Kane to be appointed Inspector of
 Sidewalks were read and ordered on file.
 Report of the tender of Chapel street
 bridge showed that the draw was opened six
