Wrltten for the Censor,
A VERY POOR MAN.

BY BOB O'LINK,
My neighhor has q rich parterre
Whose rustic fence encloses;
A fountain Ia garden fair
Where bloom his monthly roses.
Myneighbor has costly place
A rich and lordly dwelling,
But rich and haggard is his face,
Of care and heart-ache telling.
lie walks his garden round aboutI
l. c sits within his bowers
Unblest-while who stand without
Inhale the scent of flowers.
He can not bind the sweet perfume
Which from his garden passes
Free as the breath of clover bloom
Or cowslip midst the grasses.
My neighbour has stunted SOUL
Unthankful and repining-
He owns-but enjoy the whole
laugh while he is whining;
For beauty is a joy unknown
Till love aud light reveal it.
And blessing reaches him alone
Who has the heart to feel it,
And as my neighbor passed along
With head low bent in troubia,
He whispered, ''All the world goes WI )ng
And life's not worth bubble,"
! heard sweet laughter down the dell
From little Willie Wrinkle,
A rich mans heavy sigh, and then
song from bob QLinkie.'

THE EcoNoMY OF COOP ROADS.


Milwaukee Sentinel: Nothing brings
out the benefits of good roads more
clearly than comparison between the
cost of transporting farm products on
well constructed roads and on poor
roads. This comparison is often made
by good roads advocates and the truth
of their statements has never been denied,
the farmers evidently acouieecing in the
manifest advantages of good roads,
though they are slow to support the
movement to bring about general
and thorough Improvement of the high
ways. The latest demonstration of the
saving affected by good roads is made
in the annual report of the road COM
missioner OF New Jersey. He puts the
case in the following convincing fashion
1t costs 81 cents per bushel to ship
wheat from Chicago to New York, dis
lance Of 900 miles; it costs 3 cents a
bushel to haul wheat on level road a
distance of five miles, and on sandy
road it would cost 9 cents per mile to
haul it. The saving on bushel of
wheat With good roads for distance OF
five miles would be equivalent to that
of 600 miles of transportation by steam
or or canal boat, or 375 miles by rail
road. One mile of good roads would
make saving equal to seventy-fve
miles of railroad transportation. Thus
every mile of good roads places the pro-
Queer sew snty- five miles by rail nearer
to the markets. 1t is estimated that the
cost OF hauling 500.O00,000 tons Of farm
produce to market is So per ton, or just
about $1,000, 100000; it is also esti-
mated that about 60 per cent. of this
last amount, or $500, 100000, would be
saved each year if farmers were able to
do this hauling over good roads.
New Jersey is the most progressive
state in the Union in the building OF
good roads, which is all the more reason
for making her road commissioners esti-
mate an accurate one. He has unusual
opportunities for observing the differ.
ence in the utility of an improved and q
neglected road. His figures should give
Wisconsin farmers something to think
about.

try it who has lame back and weak kid

mean he can curs himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the liver and kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures
consumption, headache, fainting spells,
