MOTHER SHIPToN.

This ancient female poet and pro-
phet was born nearly 400 years ago in
England, under the reign Of Henry
VII. Her poetry is passable for that
primitive era of poetry, but it derives
its chief merit from its prophecies,
and the prophecies derive their chief
merit from their literal fultillment
up to this date. At that carly epoch
before even the widest enthusiasts
dreamed of such marvellous things, she
predicted that the time was coming
when houses would be made of glass !;
that carriages (railroad cars would go
without horses that the world would
be filled with woe by fierce wars be-
tween States that the earth would
be turned upside down, and gold
found Mt the roots Of the big trees in
California; that the South would d.
vide from the North, and England
and France would make friends that
men would ride through tunnels
of great hills and mountains with
out the aid Of Il horse or mule;
that they would walk under water
with diving bells, and go up in the air
in balloons that iron-clads would
float in water, like wooden boat;
that Geographic messages would fly
around the world in the twinkling Of
an eye; that England would admit Il
Jew to the premiership ; that France
would be Republic three times,
and three times have tyrant to rule
over her who would lead ''lovely
France in Il bloody dance" Finally
the people of England-cven the pillow
boys-would take to books and sub
scribe for newspapers, and thus be-
come nation of literature and wis
dom.
All these things were prophesied by
Mistress Shipton in one short poem.
1t has been reproduced in the Eng
fish and American newspapers every
year since the invention of type.
Everybody is familiar with it. And
everybody knows how well the saga
tious mother hit the nail on the head
in every prediction. As far as heard
from she hasn't missed II single shot.
And now comes the terrible and start
ling part Of the prophecy:
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighy-onc.'
This will not he Il very peasant re-
Election to Garfield and his hundred
thousand Office holding eXpectants
whose mouths are watering for the
good things in the future nor is it
comfortable to the editor who is look
ing forward to Il big increase in his
subscription list next year, and who,
perhaps, is not entirely prepared for
sudden transfer, owing to the fact that
the pressure upon him has been so
great that he has not been able to
abandon altogether the worldly luxury
of swearing at his delinquentsi but to
the fellow who is condemned to be
hung it is a matter of little or no con-
Germ whether the universal exodus
takes place next year, or is put Off for
few more centuries.

If the personality of Satan be not a
vital principe of your religion, / do
not know what is. There is only one
dogma higher. You think il is safe,
and here say it is fashionable, TO fall
into this lax and really thoughtless
discrimination between what il and
what is not to be believed. 1t it not
good taste to believe in the devil.
Give me a single argument against
his personality which is not applica-
bic to the personality of the Deity.
Will you give that up; and if so,
where are you? Now mark me ; you

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. u, 1880.



This subject has received considerable
attention from us, for the reason that it is
very important one, in which the whole
Every person who owns horse or rides in
a vehicle of any kind knows the vast diff
ference between a good road, and bad
one-a safe road and a dangerous one.
Many roads are never properly repaired
and Of course are never in good order.
Sometimes quagmire or a moist,
miry place is left, year in and year out,
without an attempt to remedy it
permanently, and the little pottering done
only makes the evil worse than it was
before. No road, not even macadamized
one, will continue in good condition for
any length Of time, unless it has sufficient
ly large cutters at the sides, kept clear OF
Obstructions until the water passes from
the road. Toward these cutters the road
should incline gently from the centre, re-
moving everything that may prevent the
water from running directly into them, and
not force it by little embankments along
the edge of the cutters made by the dirt
thrown out of the cutters along the road
sometimes for fifty or hundred yards be-
fore finding its way into the gutter, thus
washing deep lines in the road-bed and
seriously damaging it. Holes in the road
beds are the worst drawbacks upon travel.
They gather the water, and from very
small depression, become larger and larger
until they are a decided nuisance. Many
Of the superintendents or managers of mac
adamized roads, it seems, are beyond
recognizing this simple fact indeed, they
do not seem to be chosen because they UNI
derstand how the repairing should be done
but rather because they know not how to
do it.
Dirt roads. such as come under the
charge of township supervisors, require
the same method and care in keeping
them in good condition. But on many of
these highways the rOGd-scrnpcr can be used
with great efficiency and economy. At
least two of these should be owned by
every township. In New England these
scrapers are much used. The inventor OF
one of them offers, to use his own words,
s't0 take the roads in ono hundred town
ships and keep them in good repair for one
wear for One-hdlf the former cost or fol
ten years for one. .f0urM the former cost,
with the exception of bridges and culvcrts.
and providing the roads are free of stones. >
He adds, "With my machine one man and
two horses will smOoth-up and put in good
condition ten miles Of ROAD d0y.
We bring the subject before township
supervisors now that they may have full
time to consider it and make the necessary
provision for the coming seasons opera
tions. The time has arrived when the sight
of bad road should be the exception, not
the rule as it is now. Property owners in
every rural district will find out that il
no way can money be more certainly saveG
than in paying it in the shape of taxes tI
keep the roads in the best of Order.-Ger

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1880-11-04
Herrick's Third Epistle to the
Wellingtonians.

And they believed it, and rushed with
open purses and bought goods cheaper
than at any other place i'm the city, and
were happy; at least, so runneth the
oft advertised story of a stock of goods
sold at less than cost. And they kept
on and built houses and increased their
possessions.
Now, say it over and over again,
gainsay it who will, its a bright but de-
lusive lie. You may turn to the right
or left, as Father Abraham did, and as
long as land has measure, as long as
deceit brings wealth, men will lie as a
candidate for Congress lies. l have
said it, and 1 say it over: all who gather
i'm gold as the years roll on, hoard and
hide it away, do it on a margin Of profit,
and compensation is the lever that moves
the financial world. and to all who have
money to spend 1 say, don't be deceived; !;
patroniZe those who are satisfied with a
fair, equitable profit. What is true of
you, under like circumstances, will be
true Of others; If you are not willing
to strive and sweat for nothing as the
years go on, neither am I. But If YOU
want to deal honestly rnd squarely, and
buy groceries that are strictly pure, that
have been bought as closely as cash can
buy them, and will be sold as cheap rs
frugal living will allow, with charity
for all ard malice toward none, l invite
you to come to the Hornets Nest. I'Il
meet you face to face, and practice W hat
preach. Thus endeth the Third Epis
tie Of L. II, uERRICK.

anecdote of anything they have lately heard
BY nine o'clock Tuesday evening the
town was full of people coming from the
country and adjoining townships. The
hitching rails were all filled with teams and
it looked as though the people had gathered
for political mass meeting. Excitemen,
ran high and as the returns were received
from the various townships, all giving large
Republican increase over the October
election. the cheers went up and the bell
rang out the Joy that filed all hearts. II
other parts of the State do as well as the
reserve, Garfield will have q majority oI
40, 600 votes. Returns from about 500 voting
places showed a Republican gain OF 5000.
