Everyone wishes to live long yet no one
wants 70 grow old" Someone has made as
sertion something Ike the above; but we don't
remember whom the author is Yes age has its
terrors for the young. and we are led to believe
this is becaase the young know nothing about
age. All stages OF life have their pleasures, and
as we enter upon this aeon Of our existence as
though we had been educated for this particu-
lar stage And in realty we have been. I once
heard d lady say, 81 don't want TO get old. I
dread old age" And yet this lady is getting
there" all the same, and, to all appearances is
experiencing no Inconvenience or marked change
except that which age implies. There is Ger.
tainly pleasure in age, for one who can sit
down and look back upon life well spent from
childhood to his present state, few however can
do this and anticipate the final earthly change
with pleasure We have seen such persons The
work has known no better. Persons who all
their lives have lived In comparative poverty
and enjoyed life, ard In their declining years
stripped Of health and some of their natural
senses yet have had the ecstasy of youth in
being when they looked back with rapture upon
their past lives and anticipated fruitior yet to
come. This ecstalic state Of being in the aged. |

memory, and power that is higher than l."
Robert Browning has written
'GrOW old along with me
The last Of life for " hich the first was made.
Our times are in his hand,
Who said a whole planed;
Youth shows but half; trust God, see all nor be
afraid."
Periodically, there is a fad an inspiration, or
wildness Of opinion, amongst the people. So
we have often thought. A few years ago it was
oyer constitutional change In the Government
Of the State; later the people went wild over the
ION Of ours, but the experience of the last week
has somewhat modified our opinion in regard to
the "gOOd road" question. There is certainly a
need OF an improvement in the roads of Broad.
kiln, not in thif Election District The weather
has not yet, become very hot but the roads, is
many parts, are heavy with sand; so heavy that ,
with even a light wagon travel Is slow indeed.
II needs something doing 10 the roads in Broad =
kiln. We find that the road overseeTs are vet .
At their manner Of work; and they have caught
an idea from the surveyors they have seen some n
where They have no theOdolite, nor surveyors :
apparatus, yet we noticed a company laying of .
piece Of road getting ready to work on It, One :.
man held mp a stick, and another in imitation of
an engineer would sight down It, ana then drive
a stick in the road and so on we don't know
how far. We will however let them do il as they
may, so they do it, In these days Of heavy bsul-
Ing the pOnderous wagons cut the roads TO pieces cl
and the scorching automobile blows the sand Sd
sway but not from the naturally sandy yards. r

In coming into town on last Saturday after
