that fresh ones were supplied to replace
the others. When week had passed, he
turned suddenly upon Jerlyn and
thanked him for his care and the gift
of the flowers.
FLOWERS, what fowers?" demanded
Jerlyn, nervously. He was a little,
nervous man, who spoke rapidly.
didn't know you cared for 'em. /
don't. Cabbages are much more to my
taste, especially when boiled with bacon
or beef"
Bradnor did not pursue the subject,
but he brooded over it all the more. He
had no acquaintance or friend at the
Springs save Jerlyn, and he was sure
the landlord had not provided them.
He was now able to sit in an easy
chair and the doctor had promised that
within day or two he might. with the
aid of crutches, leave his room and
mingle with the guests of the hotel.
The following morning he was awake
when Bridget, the chambern1aid, en-
tered his room and was surprised to see
her bearing cluster of fresh roses in
her hands.
Bridget" he said, with firmness,
'tcome here"
The girl, somewhat trepidant, APP
preached his bedside, still holding the
flowers.
$50 it is you who have been filing
that vase every morning, is il?
I "Shure, sor, an so twor," she replied,
with courtesy.
.sYes, Bridget. now hand me that
pocketbook on the table there. That
is we'll. Now I want you to tell me who
gave you the roses to bring in to me-"
''Howly mither, sor, an that will
niver be afthcr doin'. Mrs. Travis, the
Teddy, sor, thrittened me don know
what ay / sid a wurred about her, sor-'
'sThat will do, my girl" he said, gen.
tly. as he placed bill in her hands.
Leave the roses here by my side and
go out of the room for a little while"
t'Tin dollars" cried Bridget, after
reaching the hall, IAN all because wor
afther refusin' the tillin' av him who
sint them! Shure the kind gintleman's
gone clane deft."
Bradnor seized the cluster eagerly
and let his nostrils drink in their grate-
full odor. While he did so the memory
of the heavenly voice freshened, and he
seemed to hear it sing over and over
again the hymns of the Easter day SER
vice. Then he listehed for the dear
words of the flower song: " 'Tis the Last
Rose of Summer" In a deep revery he
closed his eyes for several moments,
after which be opened them again, laid
the roses down with a profound sigh
and then said, aloud:
Victor Bradnor, you wretch, you are

love with q human voice, and that voice

the clover for hay as soon as in bloom,
and at once bed the land for cotton
without any fertilizer at all, and nota
the result. Sow the clover seed all
among the cotton again at the last
working During the winter get all
your manure out on the clover and in
the spring plow all under for corn. You
will now begin to see results. Lepeat
the rotation and in a few years you win
wonder why you never farmed before.
Buy no fertilizers except potash and
acid phosphate and always use them
on the peas. As you feed the
increasing amount of forage you
will soon have manure enough
to cover your corn tend, and you
will find that You are making oats and
corn to sell, unless you increase you
cattle to consume them, which is the
thing to do if you cnn feed them at a
profit. Try this plan, and do not be
afraid of using the fertilizers literally
for they viii cost You but half of tho
kind You have been accustomed to APP
ply to cotton, and you can buy twice as
much proftably. Instead of 200
pounds per acre of a complete fertilizer
on the Gotten use 400 pounds per acre
of potash and phosphoric acid and get
better results from it. In short, 90 to
farming and stop fertilizer gambling.

THE ROAD PROBLEM.
Some Suggestions La Regard to Roads TIM
VIII Go to Think About.

Some Suggestions La Regard to Roads TINT
VIII Go to Think About.
The good stone roadway in the Unit
ed States, according to the computa-
ton of Gen. Roy Stone, the accomplished
engineer of the bureau of roads of the
department of agriculture, was in
creased during 1896, by 1000 miles.
This seems little enough until we re-
member that at the end of 1896 the good
stone roadway in the country did not
exceed 1000 miles. II we should con-
tinue at this rate it would take more
generations than we have patience to
think of before the reproach of bad
roads could be lifted from our country.
But If the good roads could be increased
in this proportion each year-this is.
doubled-we should soon accomplish
something worth while.
There is unquestionablya widespread
desire for good roads in this country,
but the people are hampered by the
cost and hindered by the apprehension
of too heavy road taxes. And then,
Notwithstanding all the agitation and
all the recent literature on the subject,
the people at large are still dreadfullY
ignorant. One ignorant set think road
improvement means the universal sub
stitution of macadars paye1nents for
dirt roads; another ignorant party
is deluded with the idea that the ma
cadam pavement makes dirt roads un-
necessary. Both of these parties are
as wrong as possible, and hurt the
cause they seek to advance.
In answer to one false idea it may be
said that every macadam pavement
should be paraleled with we'll
drained dirt road. A good dirt road ID
pleasanter to use eight months in the
year than a macadam pavement. And
during just that time is the period
when a macadam road is injured by
travel. It is in dry and hot weather
that the maeadam pavement is worn by
traffic.
Then again, macadam pavement
could not be built in 500 years to re-
place all our dirt roads. And it would
not be well, anyhow.
If we could teach the country people
to make these dirt roads properly and
then drain them sufficiently, they
would answer every purpose. But how
to do this is the question. One way
suggests itself at once. Let county So
eieties be formed and prizes offered
for the best district in each township.
This would conduce to thought and
study. To make good dirt road and
keep it in repair is SO easy that none
but simpleton could fail to under
stand proper instruction.
This is a hint to the organized wheel
men and the department of agriculture
as we'll But there is no suggestion
whatever in this hint that the high
ways should not have stone pave-
ment over a part of each such road-a
stone pavement paralleled by we'll
drained dirt road. .Leslie's Weekly. .

When next Easter day came Victor
Bradnor was in Rome and with thou
sands of others attended the magnificent
services at st. Peters, where all the
pomp and circumstances of stately
robes, grand professions and artistic
music combined to give emphasis to
this day of days in the calendar. Brad
nor listened pensiyely to the glory
strains of cngan and the rieh-toned
voices of the men and boys of the choir.
His thoughts were far out and away in
the iyy-covered Virginia church, and
he felt that the music Of her voice was
sweeter than that of all the harmonies
which echoed in ST. Peters. While the
organ peaied and voices blended with
it in happy acclaim of Resurrection
day, he thought he could hear her
divine voealization above them all, soft
and gentle withal as the zephyra at even-
tide.

ROBBERY I'M ITALY.
Systcmatized Theft Practiced ON the
Railroads,

O~S
The correspondent of the London
Times in Rome has been collecting in
formation concerning the robberies on
Italian railroads, which have been so
frequent of late. 1t appears from the
story of an official inspector engagedon
the matter that the system Of thefts has
been very we'll organized and extensive
ly carried out, at the expnese not merely
of foreigners, but, of Italians. The in
spector himself suffered severely, and
now takes the precaution to cord and
seal every piece of luggage with the
leaden seals used by the customs. He
advises everybody to do this. The COM
panies, finding thefts increasing at so
alarming rate, had @ conference last
August and agreed on measures OF de-
lection, which have resulted In 66 ar
rests, of which 20 have been followed
by conviction. Unfortunately, the tri-
bunals have often refused to convict
even in some cases in which the culprit
had confessed The effect of this is that,
as railway servants are protected from
arbitrary dismissal by the terms of the
concessions of the companies, they re-
turn after acquittal to their positions,
from which the reasonable suspicion of
crime is not sufficient to remove them.
In two cases of peculation and rob
berry, in which the offense was clearly
proved, the accused were acquitted on
technical grounds. When case is tried
before a jury an acquittal Is almost
certain Either from a lurking sym
pathy with crime or from a fear of
the vendetta, italian juries are reluctant
to give yerdicts Of guilty. The corre-
spondent advises all travellers to see that
the locks of their trunks are strong and
secure against being picked, and the
hinges are in good condition, and then
to use the cord and seaI.-N X. Post.

EASTER 1RIuMPH.
A Fresh Impetus Given to the Upward
Aspirations of Mankind.

A Fresh Impetus Given to the Upward
Aspirations of Mankind.
The passing of the severe season is
external nature Sky and sun, and
mead and crag, are lighted up with a
new fire. 1t is the feast of the sun, the
yearly awakening of the myriad sleep
ing beauties-the running of the sap.
the coloring of the leaf and the flower,
the return of life and strength and myr-
lad activities.
Mans Easter is at one with that of
nature and with the Divine who is risen.
The ancient church ranks the resurrec-
stion as the first and primal basis of her
claim. For if He is not risen there is
no shadow of right in Christianity as a
Divine institution. But. On the other
hand, all men are risen with Him. The
world rose very great and strong en-
that Easter morning when Love came
back from the tomb with message OF
hope and proof and assurance Of the
faith of the chosen few.
Ever since Easter trinmphs have
multiplied rising is the new order. Ex-
celsior is the schoolboy's motto. Full
grown ambition sees nothing in the
way of his attaining the greatest honor
or the highest station-except lack OF
opportunity and unfavorable circat1n-
stances. The primeval downward in
man comes back now only as am atav-
ism that is out of place and ont OF date.
In the aspiring OF an iIl-judged pur-
suit of greatness or success, the bad
trait of some long dead ancestor comes
back to pull down, instead of building
up. The general tendency. however. is
upward. We believe a fresh impetus
was given to it on the first Easter when
the women waited for Him to come
baek-the Light of Hope from the
sightless eyes of death. There is no
more darkness or death, but light and

White Sulphur Springs was filled with
people from all over the country and
among the throngs was Victor Bradnor,
who had gone thither not so much for
his health as to get away from the heat
of the city and the ennui that at times
oppressed him.
The evening was delightful one in
August, and Bradhor was seated upon
the. yeranda of his hotel. holding high
converse with an old acquaintance he
had first met at Florence, and, later, at
London.
This friend was languidly telling of
a misadventure he had on gondola at
Venice, in which a fair VeneGian maid
figured, punctuated by an Involuntary
bats IN the blue waters, when, suddenly,
Bradnor leaned his head to one side,
like dog when attentively regarding
his master.
He no longer heard his friend. The
firing of cannon would not have d.
verted him from the object of his in-
terest. sa-- ss-1I-s
Again the tender chords of memory
were touched and his big chest heaved
like huge bellows Dumped by smith.
The voice of the village church
poured out it's richness in stream of
glory, overwhelming yet inspiring him
with its refreshing. The woman was
singing the Last Rose of Summer" A
touch of sadness pervaded her voice,
which now and then nearly quiyered
with emotion as she declared the soli-
tariness of the flower and the death of
it's fellows. She was singing in the
great hall and the liquid tones poured
through the open windows.
When she had done he sighed heav-
lily, arose and strobe abruptly away
from his FRIEND, who, with mild sur
prise upon his countenance, likewise
stood upon his feet and slowly followed
after Bradnor.
The latter proceeded on his way until
he reached the end of the long piazza,
when he faced about and paused, upon
the very brink of the broad fight of
steps.
His friend drew near and was about
to address him, when party ofladies
approached from within and both gem
tlemen. moved as if to permit them to
have greater freedom in passing. Brad
nor, in his abstraction, stepped back
ward instead of forward, with the re-
suit that he lost his footing, slipped and
fell heavily, rolling over until he
reached the ground.
Instantly everything was in confu-
