A SONG OF THE CAMPFIRE.

Oh, the sparkle Of the campfire ON the shelter
ed woodland Shore
With the forest for background and the lake
spread out before,
While the fral canoes come tossing home to
harbor in the bay
And the star above the sunset marks the pass
ing of the day
As the summer night grows deeper how the
flame illumes the pines
And its waverng reflection on the starlit wa
ter shnes
We have drawn a ring of magic in the wilder
ness and gloom,
And the darkness looms beyond it like the
walls of some vast room.
Gathers now the twilight circle, each bronzed
camper I'm his place,
While the laughter Of the freight meets the
laughter on his face,
And we sing the good old ballads and the
rolling college glees
Till the owl far up the mountain boots def
ance in the trees.
Then the story and the laughter pass the mer-
ry circle round,
And the intervening silence thrills with many
woodland sound
Now the weird and ghostly challenge of the
solitary loon,
Now the whistle of plover journeying south
ward meath the moon.
All, the charm that hangs forever round the
campfre's ruddy glow
For the sage and for the savage, for the high
and for the low!
There is something grand and godlike being
rooted with stars and skies
And lulled solemnly to sumber by primeval
lullabies

and Interior to artficially broken stone
only because it lacks uniformity IN size
and the angular edges which pack so
well. We must search, then, for gravel
free from loan or sand or any fine soil.
We cannot use anything under inch In
diameter and we ought not to use any
thing over %. Sizes under or over these
extremes should be screened: but
between two beds Offering equally good
stone in these respects there may still
be a great preference. The character of
the stones themselves must be studied
and determined. Experiments show
that crystallzed limestone will last not
over one-flfth as long on the road as
posed of much quartz is far inferior to
granite gravel. Again, with gravel
worn smooth, some fine material to bind
the stones may be necessary. This must
be found and used in small quantity.
Limestone, or clay, or stone carrying
iron, or ashes are proper for this use.
These problems are stated to show that
good roads cost thought as well as taxes.
Little outlay fer machinery is neces-
sary in gravel BODYBUILDING. Screens
to be used by hand labor and bins are
inevitable, but they cost little. A four
ton horse roller-if it is considered adj
visable and authorities do not agree that
it is, although it hastens greatly the
packing of the materal-can be had for
about $3.50, new. In the absence of rol.
ling it takes a season or two for twelve
inch gravel road to assume its perfect
condition.
The cost of gravel road depends on
great many circumstances. There l.
great fluctuation in the amount demand
ed in different situations. A piece of
road like that from the Congregational
church to the station. which bears more
and heavier traffic than any other in
town, might demand in the interest Of
true economy twelve inches in depth at
the middle and a roadway fifteen feet
wide. a less used street might be
amply cared for with six inches on
road bed twelve feet wide. learn of one
gravel road - feet wide and II inches
deep which was built for 5000 a mile.
The life of such gravel road as we have
been contemplating, if placed on a we'll
drained bed and seasonably resurfaced
to prevent uneven wearing, Is long. 1t
improves for several seasons.
Our superficial glance at the subject in
its general terms may fairly lead us to
hope that the village highway committee
may be able to report some plan by fol-
lowing which and in the course of few
seasons Middlebury can come into the
realization of system of roads we'll
engineered, well-constructed of proper
materials and Northumberland after
they are built.
