THE Flatonia Argus is one of the
live weekly journals that feels the
need of some road methods which
will result in good systems of pub
| lie roads. The last legislature prom
| ised much and did nothing. A gen.
eral road law available for all coun-
ties is very much to be desired, with
such provisions as will insure suffi-
cient amount of work to put the prin-
cipal highways in travelling condi-
ton. Old BeXar county has not one
good all the year round road leading
lnno this city, and nearly every other
county in the state save possibly Tar
rant and Dallas is in the same cOndi-
ton.
THE Uvalde News which has al

"The Topeka, Kansas, Daily Capt.

Pym's report Oh the jetty work at Gal
weston, and which he contends is of
no value. The Capital, in common
with all the papers of the great FORTH
west, wants deep water on the Texas
coast, and in speaking of the jetty
system and the proposed iron pier
says, "what Kansas wants is deep
water anyhow" That's it exactly.
We need deep water and need it bad
ly, and whether it comes by piers or
jetties makes no difference to the
people here"
1t is just OH tbs line that the advo-
Gates of Arkansas Pass are fighting for
deep water.

KIND WORDS.
The Habit OF Using Them Should be
Cultivated.

New York Independent.
Why should not men who are assO-
ciated together in business study and
practice the law Of kind words
toward each other? Why should not
the master speak kindly to his SER
want? Why should not one speak
kindly to a stranger who may ask
him a question? Why should not
those who differ in opinion address
each other in the use of respectful
and kindly words? Why should not
those who oppose moral evils temper
their language with the law of kind.

should not the minister of the Gospel,
the doctor and the nurse in the sick
room, the buyer and the seller, the
banker and the merchant, the govern
or and the governed, the judge on his
bench, the warden of a prison, and,
indeed, every man and every wo-
man, on all occasions, in all circum-
stances, and under all provocatiOns,
both study and practice the law of
kind words in the total intercourse of
life from the cradle to the grave ?
There is an amazing power for good
or evil in words. A large part of hui
man influence is exercised through
this channel. What one is in life,
how he effects others, and how they
feel toward him, depends very great
ly upon the use he makes of his
tongue. If he goes through life with
a lawless and acrid tongue, as the in
strument ofan equally lawless and
acrid heart, hurting epithets right
and left at othels, blistering the SEN
sibilities of his fellow-men by his
own vehemence, and distinguishing
them with his vulgarity, he may set
it down as a fact that ne will make
himself a nuisance in the social
system. Everybody will, be afraid OF
him, and manage, as far as possible,
to keep clear of him. If, on the other
hand, he sweetens his own life with
kindness of feeling and kindness OF
words, he will always be a pleasant
person to meet, to lalk with, and be
acceptable and agreeable anywhere
and everywhere. Society will fine
good use for such person, and will
use him, to its advantage and hi;
advantage. Kind words are the
cheapest, and, at the same time in
practical power for good results, the
most potent words that one can use

TENNESSEE SATURDAY FEB. %, 1889
Railroad Reform.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Up to the present time it is safe to
say that in general railroad men
knew no Sabbath. On the main line
of roads trains move with as much
regularity on the Sabbath as they do
on any other day, and the men exc
out what little rest they can get by
chance.
Hereafter on the Pennsylvania
RAILROAD system this state of affairs
will be changed. Last night new
rule went into effect that from 10
O'Clock Saturday evening to 7 O'Clock
the next night no slow freight shall
be moved. On the Panhandle the
order applies from 7 o'clock Satur-
day night to 7 Sunday evening.
Nothing but high-class and perish
able freight and live stock will be
pushed through in the future en- Sun
day.
On the Pittsburg division alone
this means that seventy trains on the
Sabbath will be discontinued, and be-
tween New York and Pittsburg the
number will reach 800. There are
eight men to train on an average,
and the result will be that $500 men
on the Pennsylvania road, at least,
can go to sleep in church Sunday
morning with the rest of their breth-
rem. No estimates for the Fort Wayne
and Panhandle roads could be OBJ
tanned, but when the mileage of these
systems is remembered, and the vol
ume of business done on Sabbath only
approximately determined, it can be
seen that large number of men will
hereafter enjoy the day of rest.
This rule will be strictly adhered to
at times Of business pressure. AS
long as all the roads observe the or
der, even in state of blockade,it will
make no difference. The difficulty
in the past has been that one part of
the system would push its freight on
to the tracks of another, and necessi-
ty would compel its removal. BY all
the roads ceasing work on Sunday
this can he avoided. In the event of
severe snow storms, when it is neces-
sary to keep the tracks open, the rule
may be violated, but at other times
it will be strictly enforced.
Slow freight consists of iron, coke
and in general articles that are not
perishable or ciassed as fast. Whether
the managers of the Pennsylvania
Road feel guilty or fear the Sunday
reformers is question, but the new
rule will be hailed with joy by the
men, and the props will be knocked
from under the complaints of cranks.
AS few trains as possible will be run,
and on one day in the week
the great system will be in a
state Of tie-up.

Bill APPS Story of Sam Jones.

"Sam Jones and a few dare devils
hung on their TANKS and stole horses
and mules most every night and hid
them away off in the swamps. Sam
was nothing but a boy of 16, but they
say he stole over 100 horses and gave
them all away to the poor people who
had lost their stock. You see he got
some old blue Yankee clothes and
put them on and went among the
guards who had charge of the extra
horses, and he made out like he was
Yankee, too, and he generally car
ried with him a bottle of whisky and
a deck of cards and got them drunk
and gambled with them, and before
morning he would have several of
their horses and mules away off in a
swamp. He was just as full of
mischief then as he is now, though
his mischief was ola different kind.
He was fighting the Yankees then
and he is fighting the old boy now,
and there isn't 30 much difference
after ALL"

Causes and Preventives of Decay in
Wood.

Warmth and moisture, by causing
fermentation of the sap, are the active
agents in inducing decay in unsea-
Soned wood. Posts set in the ground
rot soonest at or near the surface, and
quite often the lower parts will be
comparatively sound when entirely
rOtted off at the point mentioned.
An application of an oily or resinous
substance that will resist decay if put
on to seasoned post for only a few
inches at this most vulnerable part
will be beneficial. Wood cut ia the
sap may from too rapid drying be
well seasoned on the outside, but
unseasoned within, and thus be
liable to decay from that cause, while
a slower and more perfect drying
would have made it practically
indestructible for most uses.
Logs when cut should not be al
lowed to lie long in direct contact
with the ground. Sawed lumber,
such as boards or joints, should al
ways be separated by sticks or laths
when piled up for drying, or after
wards while in lumber-yards for sale.
Lumber that has been RATED and
kept under water for weeks will
season much more quickly and is be-
lieved to be more durable than lum-
Der seasoned directly from the saw.
The water dissolves a portion of the
sap and causes it to leach out. Steam
ing lumber produces the same effect
more quickly besides making it more
pliable and fitting it for bending into
different shapes without fracturing.
Saturating wood with brine or salt
rs a rule will lengthen its useful
ness.
While painting wood before it is
seasoned is not only useless cX-
panditure, hut will often contribute
to decay, the preservation Of season.
ed wood by painting cannot be too
strongly recommended. The surface
If all lumber exposed to the action of
the elements, whethcrin buildings or
agricultural implements, should be
completely protected in this manner.

UNRETURN MING.

Rose Terry COoke.)
Three things never come againl
Snow may vanish from the plain,
Blossoms from the dew sod,
Verdure from the broken elod,
Water from the rivers bed,
Forests from the mountains head,
Night may brighten into day,
Noon in midnight fade away,
Yet the snow may come once more,
When the winter tempests rear;
Blossoms each returning spring
In her laden arms shall bring;
Grass be green where plowshares run,
Rivers flash in autumn's sun;
Time shall bid the forests grow,
Noon and midnight come and go.
But, though all thy soul complain,
Three things shall not come again.
Never to the bow that bends,
Comes the arrow that il sends;
Spent in space, its airy flight
Van;shes like lost delight
When with rapid aim it sprang.
From the bowstrings shivering twang
Straight to brain or heart it fed,
Once for all its curse was sped
No wild vail upon its track,
D.,..,, A., ko ID &c hanL
Hold thy hand before itgo;
Pause beside the Bonded bow,
HURLED once across the plain,
No spent arrow comes again.
Never comes that chance that passed.
That one moment was its last
Though thy life upon it hung,
Though thy death beneath it swung,
In thy future all the way
Now in darkness goes astray,
When the instant born of fate
Passes through the golden gate;
When the hOdr, but not the man,
Comes and goes from natures plan!
Never more its countenance
Beams upon thy slow advance,
Never more that time shall be
Burden bearer unto thee.
Weep and search DER land and main,
Lost chance never comes again.
Never shall thy spoken word
BE again unSaid, unheard;
We'll its work the utterance wrought,
Veal or woe, whateer it brought;
Once for all the judgment said.
Though it pierced poisoned spear
Through the soul thou holdest dear;
Though it culver, fierce and deep,
Through some stainless spirits sleep;
Idle, vain, the flying string,
That a passing rage might bring,
Speech shall give it iangs of steel,
Utterance all its barb reveal.
Give thy tears OF blood and FIRE;
Pray with pangs OF mad desire;
Offer life, and soul, and all,
That one sentence to recall,
Wrestle with its fatal wrath,
Chase with flying feet its path;
Rue it all thy lingering days,
Hide it deep with love and praise;
Once for all thy word issped,
None invade it but the dead,
All thy travail will be vain
Spoken words come not again.

SeasonabIe Hints About Poultry.

Mr.. Francis A. Mortimer writes as
follows to the Poultry Monthly:
Plenty of exercise, combined with
proper feed and feeding, is what will
make our hens lay.
Never let your fowls suffer for a
plentiful supply OF clear, fresh water
it's cheap beverage.
Build roosts low, especially for large
fowls. Clean the droppings from under
the roosts at least once week.
In no case breed from siclily or wes','
constitutional fowls, as your chicks
will be worthless and also bring dis.
ease.
What view must we take Of the
prosecutions which befall us from the
blundering misapprehensions Of others
relative to our intentions?
Plenty of green forage in the sum-
mer. and cabbage, turnips and clover
chaff in winter is essential for the
thrift Of your flocks.
An old goose when alive is know n
by the rough legs, the strength Of tho
wings. the thickness and strength OF
the bill and tineness OF the feathers.
1t may not be known that the hens
will thrive much better without the
presence of cocks than with them, and
as soon as the chicks are hatched, and
no more are desired, remove all the
cocks. One advantage in so doing, Is
that the eggs from hens, not with
cocks, win keep three times as long as
will those suitable for Matching, which
is very important as tho season be-
comes warmer
