 Our Acorn correspondent says some nice things about the good roads, boon" for our county. He lives in a township that has several miles of railroad and hence has plenty of mon- ey to build roads right, Now how about a township that has thirty or forty miles of public raods and not foot ofrailroad to be taxed and possi- bly, less than thirty hands that are subject to road duty? It is simply out of the question to have good roads in the back districts under the present system of road working.

 Save now and then for the tears. It's face you might not have fancied.
 It might have meant nothing to you. But to us it has been just the one thing To dream of our whole life through. There ne'er was word between us,

 We sorrowed when time came to part.
