Public Spirit.

We take the following from paper
by DIR. Holland in The Century Maga-
zine for November (recently Scrib-
ner'sl:
There is no point at which personal
meanness betrays itself so strongly and
surely as it does when brought into
relation to schemes of public improve
ment. Set subscription paper going
through community, to raise money
for some public object, and it will usu-
ally sift out the mean men as certainly
as screen will sift the dust from a
| bushel of coal. We have great many
men who are not stingy with their
families, who are by no means parsi-
moniOus, yet who have insuperable
objections to giving away anything
that does not minister directly to their
personal comfort or qualification. A
church is wanted, or a public library
| or park, or something else for the
common benefit, and the want and the
effort to meet it furnish a very reliable
test of the character of those appealed
to. We have rich men in every com
munity so nOtoriously stingy, and so
unfriendly to all schemes of public i'm
provement, that they are not even ap-
preached for contribution. On the
other hand, we have men in every
community who have what we call
''public spirit.n Nothing that can min
lister to the general good ever receives
cold welcome from them, or a mig
gardly response to its appeal.
| Very few men are so stOlldly selfish
that they cannot see that membership
in a family involves certain duties
toward the family-suppOrt, protec-
ton, mutual assistance. The head OF
a family-no matter how selfish and
stingy he may be-recognizes the fact
that he owes to that family shelter,
sustenance, clothing, education, etc.
Very few, too, fail to see that, as citi-
zens, they owe certain duties to the
town they live in, to the state, to the
nation. They pay their taxes, and ex-
pect to pay them. 1t cannot be said
that they always do this willingly OF
honestly, but they know that they must
pay something for the laws that protect
them, for the roads that give them pas
sage across the country, and for the
support of the government. AS heads
of families and citizens of the state,
they apprehend the fact that they owe
duties whose fultillment costs money.
What is necessary beyond this is that
they should see that membership in a
social community involves duties just
as really and distinctly as family ties
or citizenship. No man can belong to
a social community all men dc
who are not hermits-without having
imposed upon him a great many duties
He owes it to that community to make
it, so far as he can, intelligent, COM
Portable, respectable. There is no wise
scheme of Improvement to which he
does not owe his support and encour-
agement; and he cannot turn his bach
upon any such scheme without fail
ure in the offices of good neighbOrhood
or without convicting himself of mean
seltishness that is disgraceful to him
and to the family and town to which
| he belongs

The SpOOpendykes.
THE TALK THEY HAD OVER THEIR
FIRST-BORN.

"Well, well, well" said Mr.. Spoopen-
dyke, with grin that involved his
whole head, and an effort at tiptOe
tread that shook the whole house.
"And so it's a girl, my dear"
Mrs. Spoopendyke smiled family,
and Mr.. SpoOpendyke picked up his
heiress.
''It's the image of you," she said, re-
garding with some trepidatiOn Mr..
SpOopendyke's method of handling the
infant.
~ don't see how you make that ont, y
said Mr.. Spoopendyke, gravely. 81

Manners and Service.

Many of the small annoyances that
spoil tempers and make life disagree
able might be avoided by calling
things by their right names. For in
stance, a great amount of bad manners
and insOlence passes current in all
classes of society as independence, per
sonal pride or social superiority. 1t is
difficult to define real independence o.
character to tell just what the com.
binatiOn of self-respect, good judgment
and mental strength is which makes it
but it is easy enough to tell what it ii
not. When a cook bOils the muttor
she was told to roast she is disObedient
not Independent. When a writer re
venges his personal sights in news
paper, or gratifies dislike of his neigh
! Dor by false inputation of motives, h

THE COW MARKET,

Some Of our dairymen were predicting
fall in the price OF cews in the early
part OF the winter, which should be about
due now. But there seems 10 be 90
little prospect ofa panic in the COW
market as fer the past three or four
months. We have tired In our comments
on this subject to inform our dairymen
that cows are scarce all over the country.
That fact is shown plainly enough In
the high prices Of dairy products. The
dairy interest has not kept pace with
some others, and the markets Of the
country are bare Of dairy cows. Prices
Will not fall much yet for q while. When
dairymen can realize 81 cents for milk
the price Of cows will keep we'll up. The
dairy goods markets are not overlooked
with material, prices are good, and there
are little II any stocks to speak Of held
back, aHd the prices will probably rot
fall much for three months to come. In
view Of these considerations we do not
see how the price can fall much, and it
may be well enough for us TO make the
most we can Of what cows We have. At
sale on the Durham road last week
prices were fully maintained, and many
more cows could have been sold.-Bueks
County Intelligentcer.

THE SNUFF MILL ROAD.

Application will be made to the
present Legislature for the vacation
Of the old Snuff Mill Road, extend
ing from point on the Concord
Pike (now Elliott Avenue), near
the location Of the old toll gate, to
the 81. Augustine mills. This road
was laid out in the year 1870, when
old Isaac Jones built his snuff mill
where the lower paper mills now
stand. 1t extended only through
property owned by him. In l845
Alfred d. Jessups bought 54 acres
Of the Jones' property, including
the snuff mill, aud put up the ST.
Augustine mills. The balance was
purchased by Cloud Elliott and Mr..
Platt, the latter interests being sold
to Isaac s. Elliott. 1t is through
Isaac s. Elliotl's purchase that the
old road extends, and az the mills
are accessible bv two other and
more available thoroughfares, and
the road is in position to interfere
with the extension of streets, Mr..
Elliott will ask the Legislature to
vacate 1t.
