hivERsiDE, Feb. 23-Mp. Ep,rop
wouia ask space for line or, so this week
2ut, witinot occupy much space. thereby leav.
trg some Tor my versatile brother, MIR. Thos.
n: Gore, to veatilate bis fertile aud cultivsted
'niuo win Its varied and rich exeperienoe
In my humble judgment Mr.. Gore has
uu.i'aKen sS1,i'. @ no small job, that Of excus;ng
fault upon the rains. don't believe ,bsrs
one single Road Overseer In tho Comfy ,vh.,
-can FAY honestly that he has ay-s- l:.-e Eli
duty in working the roads uudsr his super
vision. The law demands twelve days work
to be put on the roads in each year, If SO
much be necessary to put the TO Ids in good
condition but the roads get on an average
only about one-twelfth of what the law de-
mands, or one day Instead of the twelve.
Mr.. Gore seems to think il very hard on
the poor fellow with no vehicle to have to be
called on to work the roads for those who
have buggies aud Wagons. Now, here is
Deighbor farmer, who has wagons ahd
buggies too, but is excused from road duty
on account of his age. His laborers, how
ever, are required by law to work the pub
lie highway, though they have no team of
their own aud no vehicles. At glauce tn is
state of facts 10 k to be burdensome on the
hired hands. Now let's sec: What use ha,
our neighbor for his wagons and teams? Is
it not to haul the food that goes down the
throats Of his bired hands and to carry to
market the products of their labor? Docs
II look altogether fair for our ncighbor to
furnish wagon and teams tho year round
and bear tho expense of repairs 10 keep
wagons and mules in working condition,
roads for t6s M bsDofs d. FB Of Bis pc poor neis6bor,
who has more need of good roads than. the
person paying the taxes?
Brother Gore seems to have mistaken the
character Of men who constitute the present
board Of County Commissioners. If VIC can
judge thom by the card we see in the last
weeks TIMES, which is indeed very bust
ness-ike notice, il these Commissioners do
what they hove published, there wil be
somebody hurt now, sure.
The undersigned would be monstrous glad
to see one of the County Commissioners in
this immediate ncghborhood' A little work
might be looked into, to tho advantage Of
some very pocrely worked roads.
Now l must be done with the road ques-
ton and leave the balance with our repre-
sentative law makers, hoping some one of
them will find time to give the matter the
consideration it deserves.

of more sickness in the country than now.

Sidney COoper's Pencils.

Some of the earliest sketches of the
veteran artist, Sidney Cooper, r. A.,
were m"de with pencils given to him
by stranger (whom in later years he
met as fellow member of the Royal
Academy, and sharpened by no less
person than the Lead of the English
Church. The young artist was more
interested, at the tine, in the important
fact that he had fine new skelching
materials, than in the identity of his
two friends. Years later, however, by
pleasing coincidence he and the giver
of the pencils disc Dvered each other.
Cooper passed his boyhood in Canter-
bury. He very early showed taste
for art. and nothing delighted him
more than to sketc. the cathedral One
afternoon he was drawing the central
tower on a slate, when a gentleman
who was sketching the cathedral
noticed his work, and gave him a
bundle of pencils and some drawing
paper.
Years LATER" writes Mr.. Cooper in
my Life, "in 1886, at social meeting
in London, 1 met Stanfield, Roberts,
Cattermole, one of the Landseers Frank
Stone, Patrick Nu.ent, and some others,
and proposition was made that each
of us should tell some anecdote of his
early life. I related the incident of the
slate. As finished, Cattermole jumped
up and cried out:
"Why, Sidney, are you the slate?
Then know that I am the pencils! l
really am the very man who gave you
the pencils in the courtyard of Canter-
bury Cathedral; and are you verify the
man who was the boy then?'"
"But though lie now had pencils, he
had no knife, and had to ask stranger
to sharpen them for him.
"One day very serious looking man
sauntered by, with his hands clasped
behind his back. l said to myself,
That is priest In those days the
boys called all the parsons priests, and
I could see that he was clergyman Of
some sort.
"When he had got few yards away
Igained courage and ran after him, call
ing out, Sir, sir!
"He turned round and said, what,
my boyT
"'Please, sir, have you knifeT
ayes, my little man., said be, what
do you wantF
II told him, and he cut all my PEN
cils-12-and then, coming up to the
coping where 1 was established, he
looked at my drawing. Very good, my
boy he said, and passed on.
Immediately door opened near me,
and out came a little man with pow
dered hair, and attired in nankeen
breeches and blue velvet coat with
metal buttons, and poking his little nose
through the railing, asked me what that
gentleman had said to me.
"'Nothing,' I answered.
"'Then what did you say to himl'
"I asked him to cut my pencils.
"'And did her
ayes, he cut them allT
"'Do you know who that WASP
"'No.'

Lury'"

Do you mind the Widow Martins quiltin?
Her daughter Sue was a flighty thing;
Always laughin' and flrtin' and jiltin',
An wearin' this n an ttother's ring.
She's dead this twenty year, poor creeter.
She had soft blue eyes an a head of curls.
Seems like the maids an the flowers were
sweeter
When we were girls.
How it showed that day. though t was just
November!
Was the quilt log Cabin" or Irish Chain?"
have forgot. But well remember
The widows nephew from down in Maine
When we shook the cat, he set her yellin'
An bounced her out in about three whrls.
They had many ways o. fortune-tellin'
When we were girls.
Don't you remember the spellin' battle
Twas summer then and the weather fine
When Polly jerks spelt "c-a-t-l, oattle."
An Temperance Trimble v-i-g-n, vine2"
But what did it matter, word or letter?
They had cheeks like roses, teeth like pearls
Men We're the same-no worse, no better
When we were girls
Twas the master himself that Polly married,
Why, Jane, what ails ye? What makes ye
sigh?
You could not wed while the grandsire tar
ried;
30 youth an roses an love went by.
They tell me Polly is fine an naughty,
In boughten roses an boughten pearls,
An the master, just the same that taught ye
When we were girls.
Oh the winter time. full O. rides an dances!
The summer days wi on we sang an spun!
The meetin'-house, and the stolen & gances
Across the aisle when the prayer was done!
Fifty year since we two were twenty:
But it all comes back as the smoke up
curS-
The JOY an hope an love an plenty
When we were girls.
