Why Not Build It9

A correspondent of the Greenfield En-.
terprise, says:
l note with pleasure some recent dis.
cussion as to the proposed extension of
the Sardinia branch from Hillsboro to
Greenfield. The citizens of Greenfield
are readp to join in hearty effort to
secure this needed extension. Viewed
in practical light it is a consumation
devoutly to be wished. Persons going
from here to Hillsboro by rail must
travel circuit of over so miles to reach
the latter place and vice versa the same
conditions obtain with the citizens of
Hillsboro. If the branch in question
was extended to Greenfield the distance
would not exceed II or 18 miles.
If an extension was then made from
Sardinia to Georgetown and Ripley,
those points with Hillsboro could secure
at Greenfield over the Ohio Southern
important connection for Springfield,
Lima, Toledo, Detroit and Columbus,
and over the B. & o. s. w., the distance
would be shortened to Chillicothe and
points east. The measure of benefit
that would accrue to the towns and sec.
tions along the route proposed would
be large and constantly increasing
need would be met. Within a short
time the Ohio Southern will complete
its extension from Lima to Toledo. That
road will then be one of the great lines
of the State reaching from the Jackson
coal fields to the great lakes. Let us
have the proposed extension and thus
practically insure the completion of the
long talked of columbus & Maysville. !"

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Whoever pulls psltry weed;
Whoever plants garden seed
Whoever cultivates the land,
And. for the wigwam, makes to stand
The cottage or the stately dome
Whichever represents ''sweet home !"
Whoever drains feti1 pond,
And lifts-to save, Hygeia's wand
Whoever smooths the rough highway
For sore and weary feet Of clay
Whoever quells the bloody strife,
And, in its stead, plants peaceful life;
Whoever bridges chssms drear
Where life and death are neighbors near
Whoe'er the light Of truth imparts
To dsrkened lives and blighted hearts;
And who this day shall glad proclaim
The great Redeemer's precious name
Have wrought sweet works Of lasting worth,
And made to man better earth.

took his dismissal quietly, and left
them without a word; nor did anyone
see him again that night.
And Denzil?
At the sight of Maud's eager eyes,
and sweet, well-remembered smile, he
forgot all his stern resolutions and
carefully-cultivated convictions. He
had never even dreamed of the possi-
bility Of such meeting as this, and the
glad recognition that rang in her voice
fairly swept him of his feet, strong.
self-contained man though he was.
For she loved him; he saw it in her
eyes, heard it in her voice. knew it at
last-astonishing, we]i-nigh impossible
fact though it was; and this being 60,
nothing could come between them; no
proud, disdainful relations could part
them any more, and when Denzil Clax-
ton returned to Australia after his
brief visit was over, his wife accom-
panied him, and great was the wrath
and indignation among the Draycourts,
who had tried 80 hard to make her In all
respects one with themselves, only to
fail SO signally at the last!
But Maud was happy. and once back
again among Denzil's people, and all
the congenial associations Of the past,
she soon regained the bright serenity
and sunny sweetness Of nature which
sha had well-nigh lost In that alien
land, to which unkhd fate. and Deuzil's
