Repeat the tint of summer skies,

And over all the petaled face
How shone its rare, benignant grace!

The blue eyes and the blossom meet;
Diviney tinted, either one

This flower seemed more than gems or golds
For something in its matchless grace

Yet not its beauty, nor my care,
Sufficed to keep the souvenir there.
Some former gift. an absent friend
Swift memories one may comprehend,
Flashed through her mind, by reverie crossed
Ard far away the flower was tossed.

The pang which keeps my peace away.

The Bishop and the Inildel.

A good story is told of the witty
Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, who was,
it seems. as ready with rctort in his
youth as now. He had but little while
been in charge of his first parish in
GOochland County, Virginia, when he
was one of a company at dinner, which
included all the gentlemen of the neigh
borhood. Among them was man noted
for his infidelity as to Christianity, and
for the roughness of his manner and
speech to those BY whom it was pro-
fessed.
The young parson soon discovered
that the old infidel was talking al him.
and prudently made no reply. At last
the enemy became more aggressive,
and addressing him directly, said, '.Mr.
Wilmer, you don't seem to like to talk
about religion"
eyes, SIR" he replied, 81 do like to
talk about it with people who are earn
est and respectful in their treatment
of it."
"Well," rejoined the assailant. eff
you will answer me one Question I will
let you OFF,"
"Sir," said Mr.. Wilmer. 81 do not
know that care to be let off from any,
thing; but ask me the question. and ii
it is proper question. and I know the
answer, will give it to you.''
swell, sir. I've asked all the preach
ers have ever seen, and none of them
could tell me, and now I ask you, what
became of the body of Moses when the
Devil and the Archangel had a contest
over it?"
1t was trying question for young
theologian, and a trying occasion, for
the assembled company all silently
awaited his reply. He quickly rose up
from his chair, walked across the room,
stood directly in front of his antagonist,
and said, firmly and respectfully, "Sir,
that question does not concern Won in
the least"
"Why not. sirP" +.
Because it is perfectly certain that
no Archangel will have any contest with
the Devil over your body.s'
The infidel confessed himself whipped
and. joining in the loud laugh Mt his ex-
pense, said that he would bet FIVE hmm
dred dollars on his parson every sermon
against any other preacher in the
country.-Hcspsv's Drawer.

The present system of labor upon the
highway is conducted upon wrong prin-
ciplcs. The farmer performs his work
at time when it does not interfere
with his spring crops, and road work
is thus usually done at q time when
least beneficial, and the road is often
left in worse condition than before
repaired, and besides, as the law is car
ried out, the amount of work is totally
inadequate to keep the roads fairly
passable. As is usually the case, work
upon the road means the blowing of
unsightly bitches along the roadside to
become the receptacles of dirty. Shiny
water, the scraping of mounds Of lumpy
dirt into the path, and turnpiking,
which means, especially after q rain,
an almost impossible road, and SUBJ
sequent rutty, break-neck roadway, and
the balance Of the time, as required by
law, being devoted to triangulation,"
i. e., leaning against hoe-handle, or
other like time-consuming occupation,
the general aim being to get super
visors' receipts for as little labor as
possible.
The labor upon the road should be
performed by contract. One-haf of
the present road tax, if applied in this
way, would keep our roads in a far bet
ter state of repair than at present.
This labor then might be extended
throughout the summer, and the roads,
being constantly worked upon, would
not remain SO long out of condition as
at present when injured by rains or
otherwise, and could be repaired with
far less labor than where allowed to re-
main unrepaired tor weeks or months,
as is now common.
The road scraper, or rather machine,
must in the future largely do the work,
not only in keeping smooth roadbed,
but in many other ways, and their use
will largely supplement the pillow and
scraper, and prove far more effective.
The town tax for plows and scrapers, to
be used largely for individual purposes,
is very large, and if part of this could
be used for the purchase of a machine
and its subsequent repair, and to be in
constant use by the person to whom the
control was awarded, the economy of
the transaction would be very soon APP
parent.
With the adoption of wire and board
fences along the roads the system of
roadside adornment might be readily
adopted, and instead of the now un-
slightly bitches and clay banks the space
between the pathway and fence might
be plowed down into shapeliness, sown
to clover and other grasses, the briars
kept down, and rows of trees, shade or
fruit, set out, and our country roads
would then become avenues of beauty
and luxurious travel instead of being
in their present condition. By the con-
tract system the working of the roads
would then become a business to be
sought after rather than labor now to
be avoided. bitches could be opened,
marshy roads could be under drained,
the "chuck holes" could be filled with
gravel instead of mud, culverts and
sluices kept in repair, and general
improvement inauguarated which can
never be realized through our present
inefficient and unenforced laws, and
what is far more important, largely
decreased assessment for road purposes
will follow as natural sequence
