A NOBLE SENTIMENT.

Those who are uneasy and worn with the cares and labor of the week, may find pleasure on bright Sunday morning by going into the open air and listening to the sweet melody of the church bells gently echoing o'er the hills and down the valleys, betokeniug "day of rest and gladness." Not "holiday" but holy day. Calling people to lay aside their cares and quarrels, to respect the brotherhood of man and to worship the Great Creator, either in the public place of meeting, or to commune with nature and be refreshed, encouraged and strengthened for the overcoming, cease. less duties of life.

GOOD ROADS PAY.

One of our prominent physicians re- recently, that he "should not have wagon left by spring." We com mend this to those who are upholding the plea for better roads. As there is no sleighing, this winter, those who travel much realize forcibly the terrible wear of vehicles over our poor dirt roads. The expense of maintaining good roads would not equal that which we now have of constantly repairing Or replac ing with new ones, our wagons, which are so rapidly worn out on our poor roads.
