The Brown Bird on Her Hat,

Just in front Of my pew sits maiden,
A little brown bird on her hat,
Be sprnkled with tinsely azure,
' And the sheen Of the sun upon that,
Through the purple bright panes shines a
glory,
With crimson and gold softly blurred,
But fairer the Spirit Of Beauty
That painted the wings o. the bird.
The organ rolls down its great anthem,
With the soul of song it IS blent;
But IL still pine for the singing
Of one little song that IS spent.
The voice Of the pastor is gentle,
mo sparrow can fall to the ground"
But the poor broken wings on the bonnet
Are mocking the merclful sound.
On, sweet is the breath of plucked lilies
That lie on the altar of prayer,
But my soul is athirst for the free song
Up high in the bountiful air.
u nd | wonder If ever OF never,
O'er woman's heart spreading unfurled
White wings Of the Spirit of Pity
Shall guard the bright birds of the
world!

Mr. Edwin Chadwick, speaking oa
this subject, at the Institution Of
Civil Engineers, remarked;
'In the present condition OF the
country, it is Of vast Importance to
reduce the cost Of transit to the
uttermost, Ii by the Improvement
Of the rural roads. four horses could
enabled TO do the work Of five, the
saving Of the country in agricultural
horses would not be less than seven
millions . year.
"If the city traf1i; be taken into
consideration. We believe the cost Of
transit TO te saved by improvement
10 roads. woald not lie less than
from II to 20 millions year"
A mile of good macadamized road
is more easily supported than poor
horse.
Good roads are then unq1estlona
bly, cheaper to maintain and to use
than poor ones.
1t is safe TO say that perfect road
once laid down will cost far less TO
keep in repair from year to year, and
at the end of 20 years viii! have re-
quiret at far smaller total expendlt-
ure than a poorer road costing half
as much and improperly made.
A properly built highway, con

TENS accepted US the best for their

1t should be thoroughly drained
and provided With water-cOurses at
the side, and hard snC compact
surface, as smooth as the nature ol
it's composition Will admit of, and
free from mud, dust, and loose
stones.
To reach this degree of perfection
the best obtainable materials must
be used. l. requires good labor:
ample time in construction, anC
above all, the science and skill Of ;
professional engineer, whose bust
ness is road making.
Certain kinds OF roads are accept
ed as the best under certain condi>

sen.ial to make use Of such matcria
as nature furnishes for each locality
but more attention should be pait
than generally is, to the fist prin

Destruction In the Little Kanawha Valley
Lives Lost at NOrristOwn, W. Va.
PARKERSBURG. W. Va, July 20-The
| greatest disaster which has ever befallen
the little kanawha valley came Thursday
, night in the shape Of a terrible clOudburst
which completely flooded the country, de-
strOying man lives, carrying of thou
sands of dollars in property and running
| crops for miles.
The deluge fell here about dusk and rom
tinued to fall in torrents, doing much
damage in the city. The worst Of the
storm struck the lower side Of the Kan.
awhs, filing the small tributaries from
bank to bank and ending in tbs worst
food in the recollection Of the oldest in.
habi;ants. In three hours the Kanawha
rose six feet and ran out with such velOc-
ity that it carried every thing before it.
At this point thousands of logs and q
number Of boats went out or were sunk,
and Mrs Isaac Tucker, Martin Lqwless
and an unknown man were drowned
Above the destruction vas still greater.
Big Tygart valley is ruine1. A big mill
near its mouth went out and took Tygart
bridge with it. Fences and crops and
nue. live stock were lost.
At Estsrville. fifteen miles above, half
dozen residences were carried or bodily
and left in corn fields
In Clay the fine church and three DWELL
ings were wrecked. Several steamers on
the river were wrecked.
b worst story of all comes from Nor
ristOwn, q small village near the head Of
Tacker creek, where the cloudburs: con-
c~entrated. coming down about midnight
and totally destroying it will many of its
people. The first report fixed the loss at
eleven. but later news seems to fix the
loss at q greater number. Houses are said
to have been picked up and hurled against
each other in such short space Of time that
no chance of escape was given the people.
Among those dead at Norristown are:
Jake Kiger, his brothers. Joseph and
Thomas. a man named Bailey, Orrville
Vest and child.
At Pill Brush all the bridges and cui-
verts are washed away and it is impos.
sible to reach or communicate with that
point or any other upon the upper waters.
IL is impossible now to enumerate the loss
even here, rs the river is still rising. A
family boat containing three or four per-
sons rel out during the night and it is
believed all are lost.
