I'm the entire question Of road making

rain or snow that falls directly upon

this is all that ever ought TO be allowed

Drainage, drainage, drainage, is
almost the whole matter of keeping n
road In repair after 1t has been properly
constructed. Instead of this matter
getting attention in many parts of the
country we find road gangs out after a

perfectly drained.
Scarcely any public improvement
gives so vital a return to q community

ResoluteIy Face Them.

1t Is not i'm the trials of great temp
tations that most danger is to be ex-
pected. The trifling allurements, that
have In them a semblance of what is
true and proper, are those to be shun-
ned and constantly guarded against.
They come again and again, even
when first met by opposition, and con-
slant care MUST be exercised, lest
familiarity AT length overcome aver
sion, and the fall comes. Said Prof
Henry Drummond:
You have heard of the old castle
that was taken by q single gun. The
attacking force had only one gun, and
it seemed hopely to try to take the
castle; but one soldier said, ~ will
show you how to take the CASTLE" and
he pointed the canon at one spot and
fired, and went on all day, never moy-
ing the canon. About nightfall there
were few grains of sand knocked off
the wall. He did the same thing the
next day and the next. By and by
the stones began to come away, and,
By steadily working his gun for one
week, he made hole in that castle big
enough for the army to walk through.
Now with single gun firing away
at every boys life, the devil is trying
to get in at one opening. Temptation
is the practice of the soul, and, if you
never have. any temptation, you will
never have any practice. DO not quar-
rel with your temptations; set your
self resolutely to face them.

THE Supreme Court of the United

railroad company which owned coal

Supreme Court declares, is not to be
