heart that contemplate the achievements of
Americans without a thought as to the state
of their nativity or the sides which theyrepre-

OUR COUNTRY ROADS.

The essay read by Major Myers before the
| Tuckahoe Club on the subject of country
roads ought to be printed in leaflet form and
scattered throughout the State, besides being
reproduced in all newspapers desiring TO

monwealth
Roads are typical of the civilization and
progress of people. The roads built by the
Romans are to-day recognized monuments to

more ample power than the famous bill OF
1855 provided Tor. Like the Imperial Faria-
ment at London the irish Parliament at Dub
