This!is cline of pure delight,
Where springs of health abound,
Where rosy checks and faces bright
And men of thought are found.
In days and years that's pastand gont
Our Fathers planned u rule,
By which each one for many years
Could train himself in school.
Noble work our schools are doing,
In training youthful mind;
Equipping it for manhoods work,
Or womanhoods so kind.
Six Normal Schools within her bounds
An Almamater too,
AIT supported by the people,
For the good that they may do.
Where once were stately forests,
OF trees which grew with ease,
There now are fields of golden grain,
That wave beneath the breeze.
Thy soil is rich thy climate mild,
Thy tillcrs grow in wealth,
While many hearts speak forth in joy,
OF West Virginia health.s4
There are many rivers many fish,
Within our mountain state,
Plenty of al that heart could wish,
But we must set the bait.
The iron horses runs to and fro,
Der orr hills and mountains;
Bearing tourists on their way,
Unto our hcaltlifnl fountains.
see thy glowing landscape,
Lined with choicest flowers,
Decorated in living green,
Enshroudcd with many bowers.
West Virginia land of music,
On thy hills are voices sweet,
Which keep our cline with music
ringing,
As they anon the notes repeat.
On the hilltop in the morning,
As / travel onward singing
hear the distant echoes,
OF the many voices ringing.
West Virginia! West Virginia.
That name to ME sounds clear ant
long,
Words cannot express my feelings,
Even in DOetic song
Some go West to seek fortune,
In the land of golden glen,
But ere they've roamcd the Westlant
DER,
They wish themselyesat home again
Some leave the state to get a wife,
Some East or Western class,
But time to lis has surely shown
We have as good class.
T'is then they'll think of West yir
ginia,
The mountain land Of coal,
or mountains hills and fertile valleys
Where the shining waters roll.
Where boys are brave and girls ar,
pretty.
And the mountaineers are free,
Youmay talk about the foreign beauty
But the West Virginia girls for me
West Virginia home Of freedom,
Home. of men who have the truth,
Thou art praised by many voices,
BY the old and the youth.
West Virginia land Of Churches,
Land offree and graded schools,
Land Of men OF thought and action,
Ladn of system and of rules.

Land Of bright and sunny sky,
In thy bounds are many charms,
Which quickly catch the poets eye
West Virginia! land Of treasure,
Land of mine of precious ore,
In thy bosom lies afortune,
Laid a way in useless store.
Thy fiow'ry hill tops glades and glen
Thy waters flowing down thu

Fills many hearts with joyous song
And many souls with pleasant

Land Of valleys clothed in green,
Around whose borders cluster hliie'
Which form the most rcsplenden

And always wish thou may'st b

And though roam through Other

The Woolsey Road Beouest.

AT the Farmers Convention, in Bel
Air, last week, Mr.. W. Beatty Harlan
read and explained the will of the late
VIM. Woolsey, in which he bequearhed
$4,000 to Hartford county for public
re; ds. Mr.. Harlan showed that the will
does not require that tie county shall
pend an amount equal to that devised
by Mr. Woolsey before the BEG uest be-
comes available, but on'y that certain
roads shall be macaaamized by the
county, in manner satisfactory to
trustees named in the will, and that
when this is done certain specified
amounts shall be paid to the County
Commissioners, to use as they please.
For instance, when the County Com
missioners have macadamized the road
from Bel Air to Churchvil!e, the ex
ecutor named undcr the will, Mr.. S. A.
Williams, will pay over to them SlO,.
100. The trustees nemed by Mr.
Woolscy to apl rove the work done by
the county are S. A. Williams, john
Moores aud Alex. S Bell. Ia round
numbers, said Mr.. Harlan, Mr.. Wcolsey
left $4,000 to be paid to the County
tommiss onerS when they macadamize
20 miles Of road, or about 5000 a
nile. Thus, Mr.. Woolsey's bcquest i,
about sufficient to do all the work h,
'pecifes, only it is coupled with con
lltion that the county shall IN acadamizc
an equal amount of road-the County
Commissioners not being required to
pend any specified SUN to do the
work. In other w.rds, if the county
will macadamize the roads named ty
Mr.. Woolsey the executor will pay to
the County Commissioners S5s,OO to
spend where they please.
This explanation by Mr.. Harlan
would seem to make clear the duty Of
the County Commissioners to avail
themselves of the benefit of the provis
ions of Mr.. Woolsey's will. The roads
he particularly named-.hat from
Havre de Grace to Bel Air, from Alb
erdeen to ChurchYille. and from Oar
liDgton to Churchyille-are the most

Household Suggestions.

Water should only come to the boil
lug point for making tea or coff.e and
not be allowed to boil for even five
minutes.
A very nice aavoring for cake is a
combination of one teaspoonful of lemon
extract and one-half teasponful of
ground mace.
To fasten a steel blade which has
come out of the handle, fill the cavity
with rosin, then warm the part to be
adjusted and insert slowly, pressing it
in firmly. Hold till it gets cold.
The simplest way to fumigate room
is to heat an iron shovel very hot, and
thea pour vinegar upon il, drop by
drop The steam arising from this is
disiufectant. Doors or windows
should be opened that it may escape
When cooking eggs by breaking into
hot water, never allow the water to
bol-it wastes them and DESTROYS their
shape, Have the water boiling hot
and set the pan on the back of the
stove until the eggs are cooked soft or
hard, as liked.

Underu cath Japan.

Toxic journals report that the volcano
Shirane3an, which rises from the shores
of Lake Chuzenji, near Nikko, broke
out in eruption early on Dec. 5. 1t
was observed by the local people on the
evening of the Sth that the water of the
streams which have their sources near
the mountain was much discolored and
gave forth an unpleasant smell. About
midnight the sound of thunder peals
was heard to distance of seven ri from
the volcano, the noises continuing during
the whole night. The Waterman at the
hot springs at foot of the mountain was
so alarmed by the phenomenon that lie
fled to the nearest hamlet, where he re-
ported that the springs were throwing
up jets CT muddy water to a height of
several feet. Twenty-four hours after
ward the country folks became aware
that the mountain was in active erup-
ton, throwing out fire and ashes, the
latter OF which spread over the country
IN considerable extent, reaching as far
=. iz.iaics... Iila tig ;uiI;.t:S:, .INk place
from the crater formed in June, 1872,
when the volcano became active for a
time.
Shiranesan was in eruption in June,
1872. The height is about $500 feet. The
crater is irregular, and contains depres-
sions filled with water Atthe north end
there is q pond of a remarkable green
color
AT Kumamoto, the scene of the recent
disastrous earthquake, while we'll digger
was excavating for water at depth of
about eighteen fathoms, the base fell
through, and he was only saved from
descent, how far is not known, by rope
which connected him with the top of the
pit. Examination has shown that a very
large cavity, depth and width unknown,
exists, and this W as probably caused by
a recent earthquake. The people of Ku-
mamoto are vertically living on crust.
About midnight on Dec. the inhabit-
ants of Miyasaki-ken were alarmed by
rumbling noises proceeding from the sea
and mountain in the direction of the
southwest. Inquiries elicted the fact that
the rumbling was caused by an eruption
of Mount Kirishima. No damage was
caused by the fire, ETC., emitted from the
mountain.-San Francisco Chronicle.

travelled of any in the county, being the
main avenues used by the people of
three districts in going to the county
seat. The exhaustive investigations
made by Commissioner Magruder. OF
Baltimore county, into the best road
systems in operation in counties in New
York and New Jersey, shows that in
sections as billy as Hartford, roads can
be macadamizcd for about $500 per
mile, and then kept 10 first class order
at nominal expense. From this calcu
lation it will be seen that. the roads
named can be made thoroughly good
at an expense to the county Of about
S44 0O0 and when this is done, Mr..
Woolsey's gift of $4,000 10 immedi-
ately available for use on other county
roads, and the expenditure of this sum,
under intelligent direction, would 90
far towards solving the problem of good
roads in Hartford.
In all the counties of Maryland the
tsubject ofbetter roads is being agitatea
they are the demand of the time; and
no other section has the advantage of
such large sum of money, as free
gift, as a commencementio for the needed
road improvements. Roadmaking and
mending must be taken out of the old
ruts by which thousands of dollars have
been annually squandred, the subject
must be entirely divorced from politics
and political interference, aud given
entirely into the hands of citizens in
terested, those who use the public roads
and appreciate the need of good ones.
Earnest, able, thoughtful men are at
he head of the movement inaugurated
last week, and we look for great good
as the result of their efforts.-Hayre de
