long period of years, the proceeds to be
utilized in the building OF roads in the
rural districts. The bad roads of many
sections Of the country, and their almost
impossible condition during part Of the
year, is notorious fact, and if Gen.
Stone proposition can be carried iuto eff
feet, it would seem to be one Of the great
est advance steps taken by the Government
for some time. Under his proposition
there would be no tax whatever on the
people for the construction of the new
roads, as the money which now goes to an
nual repairs could be used for paying the
interest on the bonds. Gen. Gary has the
subject of postal savings banks well in
hand, and is liable to be called on at any
time by the Congressional committee hay
ing charge Of the bill for his statement in
support of his proposed measure.

Written for The Journal
The Lament OF the Deserted Home

Alas! how changed all things appear
Since life and love have flown;
How cruel, with the cold, dead year
To leave me here alone
o, for human voice to break
The silence and the gloom
o. for a footstep to awake
The echoiug walls of home.
Without, the weeping raindrops fall.
The wailing winds-how drear-
From empty crib, deserted stall
No answering neigh" hear.
From trees where childrens children played
There comes a plaintive moan,
Il sheltered them through sun and shade
They left me here alone"
Within no fire lights up the hearth
With ruddy cheerful glow;
Where once was life and song and mirth,
What phantoms come and go.
And in the old accustomed place,
In memory's faithful light,
l see each dear, familiar face
Within these walls tonight
Some who have laid LIES burdens down
And sweetly, calmly rest
Some from the busy, bustling town
Come to the old home nest.
Silent and pale the mother stands,
Her clustering curls Of snow
Caressed by childhood's dimpled hands,
Apart, they weeping go.
But when the balmy days return
With springtimes sweetest bloom,
Metbinks their lonely hearts will yearn
For their forsaken home.
But still the faithful morning beams
Will bring me warmth and light,
And rosy sunsets brightest CLEANS
Linger to say good night"
For M the morn will light the skies,
just az for prnceEy dcme-
And loving stars with plying eyes
Cheer thls deserted nome.

Maine Homes.

Maine may not he ranked among the great
agricultural States of the Union, yet it is
fact which will bear repeating that more

are engaged in agricultural pursuits and of
this number nearly two-thirds own their
homes clear from mortgage incumbrance.

of the West can make so good showing?

locn Vho had borrowed money when
wheat MAS worth one dollar a bushel. Nj.
Bryau's Argument Of last year, when
wheat had fallen to fifty cents bushcl,
that since wheat and other commodities
Lad deprecated to half their former value
it would be an honest proposition fol them
TO pay if then debts in fifty cent dollars,
seemed rational and equitable. This he
claimed would not work hardship upon
the creditors, because with their fifty
cent dollar they could still buy bushel of
wheat; but since wheat has advanced to
one dollar and other farm commodities
have largely advanced, they see the fallacy
of his argument an evidence of which is
in the vast number of mortgages and other
debts which are rapidly being paid off.
Of the various methods of investment by
