SOLDIERS BUDGET.
The Thirtieth OF May.


1t was thirty years ago, and the thirtieth o. May;
An the world was all a-blossom- T. remember well
that day.
The grass down in the medder was rlpplin' in the
breeze,
The leaves had shaken out their frls upon the
maple trees.
The latest of tho apples an the laylocks were
a.bloom,
An the violets by the river.bank had scarcely
standln'room;
The earth was in its glory, recollect that day,
Itw thirty years ago, an the thirtieth o. May.
But I-my heart was heavy, in spite o. shinin'
weather;
An Josiah an myself we could only mourn to-
gether.
For 1t was many weeks sence, as nigh as we could
learn,
The last of our three soldier.boys had taken his
last turn
As scout; the paper said he went with de-
spatches
For Grant, an never reached him; sech don't get
off with scratches.
An so for weeks we'd hoped in vain, recollect
that day;
1t was thirty years ago, an the thirtieth o. May.
Twas toward the aidge o. evenin', an the sun was
gettin' low;
Josiah he was over in the south lot with his hoe;
An me-to keep from thinkin'-I was in the gar
den-plot,
A-settn out some hollyhocks I'd started in pot,
An tryin' not TO recollect that twenty years ago
Our youngest blue-eyed baby was born-that
date-you know.
His birthday 'twould 'a'been, had he lived to see
that day;
1t was thirty years ago, an the thrtieth o. May.
" Could get drink o. water an p'r'aps stay over

That boyish voice. it startled me, so sudden on my
right;
/ Strengthened up an looked at him slouchin',
bearded man.
" I've walked many miles to-day, I'll put up If
can"
Our youngest wasn't nothin' but a slender, beard.

Three years before. I knew him, though; my
heart 1t leaped for Joy.

Oh, do you think Josiah m me will soon forget

MISCELLANY,
Inconsistent.

BY X. o.. b.
How slow we are to comprehend
The Fathers wise designs;
We fail to recognize as friend
The trial that rennes.
The cares and sorrows of our lot
We fruitlessly bemoan,
Although the blessing we have sought
May come through these alone.
Nearer my God, to thee" we pray,
But shrink from every cross,
And when our idols pass away
We only count the loss.
We ask for humble, contrite hearts
But writhe with mortal pain,
And think that God forsakes our part,
When our poor pride is slain.
We ask for love that circles all,
But In the life we live
We drink the NORWOOD and the gall,
Forgetting to forgive.
We think to choose the narrow way
Blessed in the smile of God,
Then fret our little lives away
Because It is not broad.
o, inconsistent human sousl
Remember, in Gods sight,
One-half the earth In darkness rolls
While half revolves In light.

safe to say that if the $4,000 vot-
ed out of the new loan for this
road is to expended in hard polish
ed boulevard construction, the
pioneers Of Puma will still have
an impossible sea of lava between
them and the outer end OF vehicu-
lar communication two years
hence. Rough and ready roads
penetrating as far as the money
will allow within the period will
bring settlers whose taxes will
provide amply for the gradual I'M
provement of the roads themselves.
Even the actual work of building
the roads will be facilitated in
proportion to the extent to which
they are barely made passable for
wheeled traffic. Road max
ing in new countries must
advance by evolution il salts
factory progress is to be made in
opening up available territory for
settlement and development. Once
all the necessary roads are broken
through territory, the principle
of thoroughness in construction,
with a view to permanence as
well as excellence, is properly to
be applied. But why should good
lands in one district be left to lie
in exclusion from bases of sup
plies and markets, to await the
construction of roads on the an
cient Roman standard to lands in
another district? The pioneers
of agriculture in America
slashed their ways, rough
and ready, through the trackless
forest, and bridged bottomless
morasses with corduroy, leaving
the perfecting Of the highways to
posterity. Their first considera-
ton was to "get there" and they
left their children,in circumstances
and in numbers, the ability to
make easier communications than
they enjoyed. Yet even in that
progressive country there are
thousands of communities that in
generations have not attained,
even upon infinitely easier
ground, to such roads as some of
our authorities are trying to give
the settlers of the several GASES in
the lava seas of Hawaii. The
ideas of the Government in the
matter of roads ought to be shap-
ed to the conditions of the coun-
try. Otherwise, a generation
hence will see the country still
undeveloped, while the building
of costly boulevards for princely
carriages, over routes that de-
manded thoroughfare simply for
country wagons in the beginning,
will have only fairly started.

ROADS,.

In the whole range OF needed
public improvements there Is
nothing more important than
roads to open up the country,
especially those sections contain
ing land suitable for settlement
and the growing of coffee and
other valuable products for export.
There is danger of a serious
mistake being made in providing
this necessary factor in internal
development. Conversation with
different officials reveals that there
is difference of opinion regard
ing the method to be pursued.
Some are for spending the availa-
bic funds, from regular revenue
and loan sources, in making roads
designed to last with little If any
repairs for a long time. Others
believe that the correct policy is to
merely break way along the set
tied routes which will admit of the
passage Of wheeled yehicles-in
other words to level down and
fill up as required in a cheap and
expeditions manner-so as to open
up the greatest extent of country
at the least possible expense with
the means Immediately available.
The BULLETIN favors the latter, or
the rough and ready plan. Ex-
perience already had will sustain
this view as the wiser one, and
scarcely leave support for even a
medium between the two PROPOSE
tons. 1t would take all the re-
sources of the country for ten
years to construct the boulevards
contemplated by the gentlemen
of high notions in the
matter, upon even the routes
leading to rich coffee lands al
ready occupied and being cult
waited or at least prepared for cul-
tivation. When the Volcano road
was projected the coffee industry
that has developed marvelously
since its completion was only
mooted as a grand possibility, in,
cidental to the benefits of en-,
HANGED tourist travel which was
the primary object of that work
The results in development of the
country from that road emphasize
the desirability of pushing roads
as speedily as possible into other
regions of arabic land. To adop
a policy, however, that woult
make the building of such roads
drag along for FIVE or six years
as that of the Volcano road, would
be the acme of unwisdom.
Such, unfortunately, is the
policy that has been adopted will
regard to the highly importan
Puma road, branching off tn
boulevard from Hilo to the Volca
no House. Several thousand dol
lars has been expended in build
ing a macadam road, superior il
surface to any street in Honolulu
for the paltry distance of tire
miles. There the work ceased 70
want of funds, leaving only
dangerous trail beyond, leading
to one of the finest coffee settle
ments in the group, which ca
only be traversed under the con
duct of experienced guides. TIL
same money expended in openin
up the route just sufficiently t
give a safe track for wheel
would have carried tn
road many times farther. 1t
