Importance to all from those in the
Alms-house to the greatest Of us, and
good roads are so easily obtained.
Just will it and it's half accomplished. ,
Twill say III conclusion that these
are the roads for us to spend our time
and money on. Let the men With
millions build just rs many Railroads
as they wish. Keep your fingers out
Of the fire. Our purses will not pass
muster when those enterprises costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile are
up. We have never built and kept in

THE PLOWMAN.

Clear the brown path to meet his coul-
ter's CLEAN
10 on he comes, behind his smoking
team,
With tolls bright dew-drops Oh his
sun-burnt brow.
The lord Of the earth, the hero Of the
plOw !
First in the field, before the reddcning
Last in the shadows when the day is
done;
Line after line along the breaking sod
Marks the broad acres where his feet
have trod.
Still where he treads the stubborn
clods divide,
The smooth, fresh furrow opens deep
and wide;
Matted and dense the tangled turf up
Mellow and dark the ridgy corntield
cleaves.
] At every turn the loosened chains re-
sound,
. The swing plowsharc circles glis-
tening round,
!. Till the wide field one billowy waste
appears,
And the wearied hands unbind the
painting steers.
There are the hands whose sturdy Ia
Dor brings
The peasa ats food, the golden pomp
OF kings;
4 This is the page whose letters shall he
seen,
Changed by the sun to words of living
green;
/ This is the scholar whose immortal pen
Spells the first lesson hunger taught to
( men;
f These are the lives that heavcn-com-
81 manded toll
Shows on his deed--thc charter of the
M soil.

Crusoe and dream it all over again.
How did long to be ship-wrecked Oh
All island and raise monkeys and goats

most always foot IN his class, bua when
he learned any thing he never forgot it.
Some boys are Wild and restless and

oats and gather the crop and get tired
of that sort Of farming. was read
ing the other day about Oliver Gold
smith, who reckon was the worst
vagabond in all England, and was
kicked about and abused by everybody,
and got in Jail, and sometimes slept in
the corner Of the fence and liked to
have perished to death, but he came to
himself at last and made one Of Eng
lands best and greatest men. The
three worst boys that ever lived i'll
Rome arc now good men, splendid
men, and are h0nered and respected.
They had good parents. Give a dog
4 bad nafie and everybody wants to
kick him. Good men ought to notice
the bad boys specially and speak
kindly to 'em and offer to help 'eln
and make 'em feel that they are not
Isi'inaelites. Some boys get so much
abuse at home and abroad that they
are astonished when decent man
speaks to 'em. Some folks give 'en
no consideration, but want to see 'em
go to Jail or to the calaboOse,, which is
the worst thing that can be done for q
boy, for he never gets over it and
grows desperate. 1t is astonishing
how long Il little sin or little humilli-
alton will follow a boy. One time Il
boy stole a quarter OF a dollar from
mother boy at school, and that follow
ed him to his grave. He got to bea
great man and was thirty years in con-
gress and was senator, and one day
when he made a bitter speech against
the corruption of the opposite party
and denounced their stealing and plum
dering by wholesale. one Of his Oppo-
nents replied by saying he would re-
mind the gentleman that preachers Of
morality should come into the pulpit
with clean hands--that Ben Franklin
said, He that would steal pin would
steal q bigger thing and he asked no
quarters from the gentleman on that
score.
SO, boys, remember and keep your
hands clean. Folks will forgive mis-
chief and a heap Of other things, but
they won't forgive meanness.

Extracts From Bill Arp in Atlanta
Constitution.
There Is no instruction SO cheap as
reading, and no pleasure so lasting.
but the reading must te of the right
kind. How the children do love a good
story, and how fortunate is the family
that has a good story teller in the
household. What Il favorte with the
little folks and how happy it makes
them to gather round aunty or an old
er sister, and listen to some wonderful
things that happened long ago oraway
Oft somewhere
| reckon there never was Il boy that
didn't want to do some big thing and
be hero. That is all right and very
natural. The men do too until they
get married and settle down to the
hard struggle OF life, raising children
and paying debts. and that takes the
starch out Of 'em and the romance too.
Its all fact. fact every day and night.
Thirty years ago begun waiting on a
little chap and washing his face and
tieing up his toes and his fingers and
teaching him his lessons. and pretty
soon they doubled on me and then they
treblcd and quadrupled and kept on
away up yonder and here am still
working and teaching and every night
[ have to hear 'em spell aud speak tn cir
speeches and show 'em how to do sums,
and can't keep up with the new fash
Toned books and tht new way Of cipher
ing by analysis, and so sometimes
when get stalled have to look wise
and say the answer in the book is
wrong.
Parents and teachers ought to be
mighty patient with children. Some
have more capacity and some more
memory. Some are slow and some are
quick. 1t Is not tho smartest child that
makes the snartest man or woman.
1t Is a powelful strain on some Of 'em
to keep up. and the dull ones oughtent
to be crowded until they hate books
and dread the time OF going 10 school.
Some folks send their children to school
to get rid of 'em, but my opinion is
the parents ought to help the teacher
every night. 1t shows the children
how much interest they feel in their
education. 1t is a sign of good teach
er when the children get ambitious to
keep up and get head marks, and bring
their books home 1T night and want to
80 to school if it is raining ! little.
Wrap 'em up and let 'em 20. There

in the world. Delmonico never had as
good things rs our mother used to fix
up for ns. 1t seems to me so now. A
child's life is full Of romance and fun
the best sort Of fun. A child's dreams

There were two soldiers in General
Grants army, lying below blankets,
looking up at the stars in a Virginia sky.
Says Jack, "What made you 90 into
army, Tom?" "Wel," replied Tom,

made you go into the war, Jack?'
''Well, had wife, and 1 love peace"
