Permanent Roads.

There Is a great improvement going
on throughout the state in the matter
of good roads. For over one hundred
years some of our leading highways
have been tinkcred up year by year
without becoming any better. Thou
sands of dollars in cash and an abund-
ance of labor have been squandcred in
road making, but few years ago our
| people woke up to a new order of
things. Road making is no longer de-
legated to party Of men who get to-
gether to visit and put in their time.
do not suppose that we are yet edu-
Gated up to that point where we are
able to get the best results from a
stated outlay, but we are vastly ahead
of the situation as it existed even ten
years ago. The writer has had Occa
sion to do great deal Of driving in
various parts of the State and has no.
ted with pleasure the good results that
have been obtained in a great many
towns. A road does not need to be
| impossible it's whole length to be
| termed a bad road. One or two bad
| spots are sufficient todeter the farmer
from attempting to draw a heavy
| load to market. Roads are like chains
one bad link weakcns the whole chain.
The intent of the law appropriating
| money for road mprovements, con-
templates permanent improvements.
There are portions Of my own town,
SO. Burlington, that have always been
| ike fever sores until the road commits
,ioners took hold of the matter in
| earnest and built the road from the
| bottom up. TO put good, sound ma
terial on top of saturated mire is
simply throwing away your material.
| The water must be drawn off the fOun
| dation of the road to make it of any
permanent value. 1t is far better
economy to put all the towns appro-
priations for the year into build
ing few rods of roadway where most
needed, than to scatter it over large
territory. ore good feature of the
present system is that the labor per-
formed throughout the state is under
the supervision of commissioner who
must approve the work before the
funds can be drawn from the state
treasurer to pay for it. Commissioner
| Wall is the right man in the right
place. His large experience in rail-
way construction stands him in good
stead in highway construction.

Small Fruits on the Farm.

This is a branch of industry that is
too little known and appreciated by
the farmer yet there is ample COM
pensation for the time and expense
devoted to it. Every farmer should
manage to grow his own table fruits
as well as his vegetables. All kinds
of berries do well in Vermont if prop
crly sheltered during the winter. !

berries, raspberries and blackberries,
with a few rows of currants and goose
berries in between. This acre re-
quires some labor fall and spring in
pruning, mulchiny and transplanting.
and fair cultivation during the sum-
mer, but | get double the returns
from this labor that | do from that
bestowed upon any other crop. We
have berries for the table all summer,
fresh from the garden, and an abund-
ant supply all winter, besides we sell
from s75 to 800 worth of fruit each
year. There is always demand for
fresh berries at fair prices in all our
market towns. Anyone who has not
had experience in raising small fruits
should not attempt to grow more
than supply for his own table until
he has studied the situation and
learned how to grow and market ber-
rieS.

Grange Notes.

At the next meeting Of Randolph
Grange the officers for the ensuing
year will be elected. 1t will be hard
to find a better worthy master than
Brother Priest has been.
One great reason why the Randolph
grange has had such a wonderful
growth is because so much attention
is given to the social side of life, "for
the good of the order" The men,
bers try and make the lodge room at
tractive to old and young, especially
the latter The result is that the
young people attend it's meetings
regularly and take great interest in
them. Farm life is made attractive
to the young people. This is the true
idea to build upon. The older genera
ton will soon pass from active life,
but will the boys and girls take their
places? They will if the right course
is pursued, the course this large and
influential grange is pursuing.

THE TEMPLE OF FAME,

How far away Is the Temple OF Fame?"
Said a youth at the dawn of day;
And he toiled and dreamed Of deathless
name;
But the hours went by and the evening
came,
That left him feeble, and old, and lame.
To plod on his cheerless way.
For the path to Fame is weary climb
Up mountain steep ard high.
There are many who start in their youthful
prime.
But In the battle with fate and time,
For one who reaches those heights sub
lime
Are thousands who fall and die.
The youth who had failed could never guess
The reason his quest was VAIN
But he sought no other to help or bless
He followed the glittering prize, Success.
Up the narrow pathway of Selfshness,
And this had been his bane.
How far away is the Temple of Good?"
Said a youth at the dawn Of day;
And ne strove, In spirit of brotherhood.
To help and succor, as best he could,
The poor and unfortunate multitude
On their hard and dreary way.
He was careless alike of praise or blame;
But, after his work was done,
An angel Of glory from Heaven came
And wrote on high his immortal name
Proclaiming this truth, that the Temple
of Fame
And Temple of Good are one.
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
That those whose memories never die,
Who shine like stars in our human sky,
And brighter grow Us the years roll by,
Are men who have lived for Man.

What, oh, what should she do with
the baby? The wits which Mary Emma
had been enjoined to keep about her
quite forsook her, as was no wonder.
She never could quite remember what
happened in the next two or three min
utes, only that a rushing, roaring noise
deafened her, that the earth and the
sky seemed to come together with a
great shock.

"Where is the baby?" said Hiram's

Mary Emma looked toward the house;
it was still standing. The cyclone,
which had swept the great barn away
like feather, had only brushed the
house in passing, and unroofed the little
ell.
Then Mary Emma looked toward the
well. The woodw work was gone COM
pletely; even the great sweep, that
Hiram's grandfather had made that his
wife might have something to remind
her of her New England home.

to drag the river.
Mary Emma felt little thrill of hope.
Some things dropped into river might
float.
The cyclones has Gurus ways. 1t
might have picked the baby up, and
dropped her down somewheres kind of
easy" said Uncle Lot Pillsbury.
But the OF hers shook their heads.
Two men went down into the well.
Mary Emma put her hands before her
eyes. She expected to see them bring
up little golden head.
Eunice's voice broke upon her ears,
the poor mother driven wild by her mis-
cry:
What did you do with her? Why
didn't you hold her tight? Oh, why did
trust you?"
Mary Emma tried to answer, but the
great lump in her throat wouldn't let
her.
She was straining her eyes now tc
watch the men as they came up from
the we'll. No little golden head. The
baby was not there.
Mary Emma drew a long, sobbing
breath of relief.

or what thought of doing-l cant be
sure that l did, | was so bewildered.
But what good would it do to TIL?
They couldn't find her. Oh, why don't
they go to the river?"
Mary Emma set out for the river
alone, running as if for dear life. She
felt scarcely ray of hope, but she could
not stay where everyone seemed to look
eproachfully at her.
At the foot of the little hill on which
the house was set, queer little sound
stopped her flight. 1t was just like the
gurgling, grieved little cry Alice made
when she awake and found herself
alone.
Mary Emma's heart seemed beating
in her ears so loudly as to drown all
other sounds; but she heard it again
the little grieved cry.
1t seemed to come from clump of
weeds, tall burdocks and 1histles, and
one small alder tree, which the cyclone
had spared.
With trembling hands, Mary Emma
parted the leaves. There was the we'll
bucket, rolled upon it's side. and out
of it were thrust a yellow head and a
small dimpled fist!
Rosy with sleep, cooling with joy at
sight Of Mary Emma, wi thout bruise
or scratch, was the baby!
Noah said:
you might know Mary Emma would
do the very queerest thing that could
be thought Of"
But Hiram and Eunice said they
thought the we'll bucket was provi-
dence: SO Mary Emma was comforted,
