Did you never think of 1t how much like 1 ancIcnt Rome Haweyvillc is2 At least the old saying that ''tli roads lead to Rome," Is i pQutlly applicable to Hawloy vile.

 Rome had her great aquatic reservoirs and waterway B, but she had nothing to compare with our great north frog ponds nnd polly WOE hAtChCries, whUTe-untiI they are drain 'd und AbOished-we can produce moro mi. aslnHtlC DTeeZcs, twin pOlIyWOgS and double yUIkCd eggs to the square foot than Rome could to the yard. That we can beat old Rome on this point we are positive. (Only our extreme n0desty checked Us from add Ing that we could almost do if on il COmpeti-
 tive display Oi artistic turniture) but what if
 we do 0utnunber Rome in some things and
 resemble her in others, we shall strive to do
 Q no longer. Hawlcyville is no imitator.
 What care we for arenas and COlIOseums, and
 ~Cuipinr"d walls ana chnrl0ts ot gold, and
 gates of bronze, and trlbute to CWsar? We
 prefer our own romantic and rural simplicity,
 natures handiwork, to Roman grandeur Our
 UnslucWalkcd walks and trails. Our grassy
 hills and stately forests. G. Ound made hal
 lowed and dear by TccollCctiOns of the past
 and ;ho prices Of the present. The same hills
 and the same forests under the same blue ,iolut. where, nlr. f0reiAthrrs fought and bIed
