What the Roads Needed.

Three years ago wanted to build two
porchcs to my house and had to haul
my logs three miles to get to Il sawmill,
l struck the road upon which the owner
of the mill was hauling lumber to the
railroad. He had broad tires on his
wheels and had been hauling all the
winter, wet or dry, and always carried
1000 feet at load. Notwithstanding
this he had a good road, with ruts not
over three inches deep at any place. 1t
was comfort to haul over the road, and
l continued this for five days with about
the same load that he had. AS the re-
suit, when got through with my haul
ing my narrow tires had cut into his
road up TO the axles. and saw at once
what our roads needed. Cor. Southern

Memorial Resolutions.

The Ellsworth Free Baptist quarterly
meeting, assem- bled at South BluehilI, in
its annual session, adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father. in
whose wisdom we have fullest confidence,
has seen fit to call from our council here
below to the highest enjoyment OF the
great gathering above so many of our
brothers and sisters during the past year,
among them the Rev. Lazarus Colt,
Brother Benz. Dollard, Sister Susan PEN
ney, Brother Edward Debeck and Brother
Mclnlnch; be it therefore
ReSotred, That in the death of these
our fellow workers and adv isers we feel n
great loss, and feel that upon us is laid
greater responsibilities to carry forward
the cause for which some of them helped
to organize this body; yet we rejoice that
We do not mourn as those without hope,
but look forward to meeting with Joy
in the quarterly meeting above.
ReSOlced, That we will try to emulate
their virtues and zeal, aud hat we extend
to each Of the afflicted families our fra
ternal sympathies and would recommend
them for consolation to he same loving
Father in whom their loved ones trusted
and pray to our God to raise upnew help
ers to take their places in our ranks

GOOD ROADS BENEFITS.
The Profits Do Not All Go to the Farmer.
City and Town Also Gain.

City and Town Also Gain.
Whenever the farmer is prosperous
every one partakes of his prosperity, and
it is of the highest interest to every na-
ton in its strife for prc-emincaee that
in its struggles it occasionally touches
the ground and gains new strength, and
it can do this Oily by fostering to the
greatest de.iec the interests of the cul-
tivators of the soil SAYS Il writer in The
Industrial World. That shurtsightcdness
which fails to perceive that manufac-
lures must depend upon agriculture is to
be remcdied by putting on the glasses
with which history is read.
There is 10 way i'll which the farmers
interests can be better subscrvcd than 10y
improving the roads over which they
carry their products to market and re-
turn with the products Of the manutac-
tuners. 1t is evident that the products of
the one have is much need of good roads
as those Of the other
Macaulay SAYS that 'thc chief cause
which made the fusion of the different
elements of society 50 imperfect was the
difficulty our ancestors had i'll passing
from one place to another. The chief
cause of the badness Of the roads seems
to have been the def ctive state Of the
law, Every parish was bound to repair
the highways which passed through it.
That route connecting two great towns
should be maintained at the cost of the
rural population is obviously unjust. y
We now have trunk lines of railways
connecting the populous cities, but the
traffic is not all from city to city What,
indeed, have the cities to exchange with
each other bat the things brought to
them III one shape or another from the
country? What do these congrcgatcd
people d. who find employment where
they live together, except to work and
transform material which is brought in
from the country: And all this material
has its cost increased by all the difficult
ties and obstacles to transportation. The
marketed products Of the surrounding
country 90 over common roads to reach
the railroads So that all along the great
lines the country roads bring their
freight.

Fire engines, attempting to reach a fir
in Long Island village, few nights
ago failed because the roads We're SO
bad that the engines became stalled in
the mud and could not be moved. This
is what is liable to happen in any place
which is full Of bad roads and unim-
proved streets, and the loss occasioued
by one such failure as this is liable to be
greater than the total cost of making a
road Of some length. Bad roads do not
pay, no matter how you view them. -

a Hint For Mothers.

Very early in life the child shows, by
many indications, whether he is to be a
person with resources or without them.
"What shall do next?" is a question ia
mliar to mothers from small boys and
girls, who look despairingly around their
store of toys and games, all OF which have
lost their power of interest and amuse-
ment.
The child who knows what to do next,
and who i not dependent on mother or
stimulant is child who will probably
carry through life certain power of en-
tertaining and pleasing himself-a power
well worth having, we'll worth cultivating.
