County Roads.

Attention cannot be too frequently drawn
to the importance Of good roads. In cities,
even. the pavements OF the streets are better
index to the popular taste and to public
spirit than are the walls of public buildings.
In the country, roads are the measure ofpub-
lie and private enterprise. They favor or
hinder intercourse according as they are good
or bad, and upon intercourse depends to
large extent the intelligence and refinement
of the people.
The Romans knew we'll not only Low to
conquer, but how to civiize and to govern.
They were the road-builders of their time.
There are miles and miles of road-bed still in
use in England that was laid down seventeen
or eighteen hundred years ago. In France
they are older and more extended. Along
these lines have grown up some of the largest
and most prosperous cities of the world.
Through many centuries. the tboroughfares
furnished all the advantages of navigable
waters.
But the argument drawn from the profit
and loss account is the one most effective in
these days, and that is the one which read
ers are most likely to meet with pretty often
in our public prints. Several estimates made
by experts upon economic questions have
been recently published.
Professor Ely, of Johns Hopkins Universi-
ty, reckons that "poor roads cost the farmer,
on an average, fifteen dollars per horse"
Professor jerks, of Knox College, Illinois.
argues that with good permanent roads
freight could often be hauled ten miles on
wagons cheaper than it could be one mile on
dirt road to railroad station, unloaded,
put on the cars, and carried to its destina-
ton"
These are the opinions of specialists who
have no doubt gone over great many col
umns of statistics in making up their esti-
mates. There is no practical teamster who
will not admit the reasonableness of their
conclusions. The greatest obstacle, per-
haps, to the improvement desired arises from:
the circumstances that there are as yet no
really good roads in this country, and from
the other fact that the science of building
roads has never been studied by our people.

-"Charlie. poor darling, tied his handker-
chief full of knots, while he was asking me

I asked an old colored man who was
rolling cotton in a warehouse in Macon if
many of his race didn't speculate more or
less in the staple, and he promptly replied:

An Independent Boy.

In large and respectable school near
Boston, two boys-from different States, and
strangers to each other-were compelled Dy
circumstances to room together. 1t was the
beginning of the term, and. the two students
spent the first day in arranging their room
and getting acquainted. When night came
the Younger of the boys asked the other II he
did not think it would be good idea to close
the day with a short reading from the Bible
and a prayer The request was modestly
made, without whining or cant OF any kind.
The other boy, however, bluntly refused 10
listen to the proposal. "Then you will have s,
no objection if pray by myself, suppose
said the younger cit has been my custom,
and wish to keep it up" 81 don't want
any praying in this room, and won't nave
it r retorled his companion. The younger
boy rose slowly, walked to the middle OF the
room, and standing upon seam in the car
pet which divided the room nearly equally,
said quietly: "Half of this room is mine. l
nav for it. You may choose which half you
will have ; will take the other, and will
pray in that halt or get another room. But
pray must and will, whether you consent
or refuse" The older boy was instantly
conquered To this day he admires the
sturdy independence which claimed as
right what he had boorishly denied as pri-
viege. A Christian might as well ask leave
to breathe as to ask permission to pray.
There is a false sentiment connected with
Christian actions which interferes with their
free exercise If there is anything to be ad-
mired, it is the manliness that knows the
right and dares to do it without asking any
ones permission.

Jed TOmpkin's Hypothesis.

Near Fayetteville, Tenn, shortly after the
recent cyclone which did 30 much damage in
that State and Kentucky, old Jed Tompkins,
colored, was hauled up before Squire Mason
for stealing one of Col. Ballentyne's sheep.
Before the trial, the Squire, the Colonel, Jed
and several others were lounging in front of
of the 'Squire's dingy little office, all hands,
with the exception OF Jed, relating incidents of
the terrible storm; the Squire winding up with
tree on his farm from which the wind had
stripped the bark, and the Colonel "seeing"
this with O brick wall on his place through
which the tornado had driven wheat straw.
On the trial the evidence was all against
Jed, the Colonel identifying the sheep, which
had been found hanging up on Jed's back
porch.
''lll have to hold you, old man, unless you
can explain how that sheep came there, said
the magistrate.
Cant 'span, Squire" Jed answered.
Wen got up in de mawnin' dat sheep was
es' layin' dar."
"And you don't know who brought it
there?"
mo, suh-lesan de cyclone blowed ii dar."
"Ahal 'Lesan de cyclone blowtd it dar,'
ehp And did you ever see a cyclone that
could skin sheep"
mo, sub, l CANT say as has, 'lesan 'twar
dat same cyclone what peeled Squire Nason's
tree and driv the straw throo Col. Ballen-
tyne's wall"
The Squire pulled up his specs and took
look at Jed, and the Colonel arose and stated
that he would not prosecute the case further,
as this was the first cyclone that had ever
blown any of his property into Jeds posses
