one man busy watching the lads who
throw stones at windows, cows,

know the driver dare not leave his

ROADS The business men of
Dodgeville held a meeting to con-
slider the improvement of highways
leading to that village. They COM
prehend that good roads help traffic.
If oar business men will make it a
point to take an excursion to Linden,
Mifiin, Darlington or Belmont, they
will be surprised at the rough and
unsafe condition of the roads lead
ing from this city in directions nam
ed. OF course this city is under no
legal obligations to repair the roads
leading into it, but measures might
be taken which would compel high
ways to be kept in safe condition
for travel; neither OF the roads to
Linden or Mif1in can be said to be
safe for travel except during day
light, and hardly then.

went TO bureau and got loaded re-

she closed her hand over the timepiece,

rest OF the garments on the sidewalk.

should follow the same trade. Being
steady and thoughtful Young men,
they took an inveterate dislike TO "the
trade They determined, therefore,
to leave it, and to set up together in a
more congenial business for themselves
They did 50, and what was the result !?
They had only carried on their business
as total abstainers for three years, when
they found that they were able to give
employment TO fonr hundred hands
Such was the early fruit of temperance
and industry combined. Suppose,
however, that these three brothers had
each taken II public-house, what would
in all human probability have been the
fruit then? The three brothers might,
like many pnblicans, have found an

houses would have brought many to
beggary and ruin. Did they not make
the best choice both for themselves and
for society? british Workman.
