The result was that a coolness came over the girl which caused one frieud much trouble and a great deal of explaining. convinced by the history of past experiences. Good roads on the outset are the chief sources of all refinement and civilization. Xo culture can climb where the - nar row path, only, leads. We are lold. by the Roman historians that under the iron administrations of their later emperors, Diecletian undertaking a reform, first sur veyed all the roads. This, he de clared, was of the greatest value, since no man could be reformed except in easy approach, at all times, to a reformer. But unfor tunately the benefits of good road making are so hidden by their own magnitude as to become obscure. We never appreciate the sunlight until its ravs become obscured. The people do not recognize the impoitance,nottosay convenience and advantages, of an opening, an outlet to the outside world. For the benefit, ot such a class, let us consider a few points. In the first place, good roads are a source of great pleasure. Dr. Johnson exclaimed "that there is no greater pleasure than to be whirled over a good road in a post chaise." They lighten the burdens of life. The farmer or aortu Car olina who, under the inefficient road system of 1833, was com pelled "to haul his tobacco to Dan ville, at a loss of mouths of time and labor, would have saved fifty per centum of his traffic by the good roads of 91. Secondly, they lighten the burdens of stock. If we be correctly informed, a horse drawing one thousaud pounds up an incline of one hundred feet to the two thousand feet, will be forced to carry oue twentieth, or in figures fifty pounds, of bis bur den, up this incline. Taking this same slope as an example, we are informed the capacity of a horse will be ouly oue half that of the same, on a level, or slightly in clined plane. Let us again figure on the gain or loss, tuna occa sioned: Taking lor our average horse, one drawiug one thousaud pounds, aud supposing the distance to be traveled to be 200,000 leet, orsomethiug over one hundred miles, we fiud our problem as fol lows: One draught horse, on an in clined plane of 100 feet or such a matter, to the mile, would be able to carry but half the burden, or about 500 pouuds, iucludiug fric tion of wheels, sand, etc. Allow ing, (as in the days of turnpikes in this State) two weeks, or four teen days for a journey this dis tance, and accompany iiig the horse and burden, with at leaot one dri ver, we nave speub iuuhccu uje, horse hire at tl.00 per day, (1 quote the minimum) and the same number of days for a driver at 11.00 per day. Total expenditure lor the two weeks, at a minimum price, 9 28 00. Let us suppose that the burden be composed of com at 52 pounds to the bushel (this be ing the minimum weight). This corn brings one dollar, or say one dollar and fifty cents, in the mar ket of the town, at the end of the journey. Addiug to the fractional part a sufficient amount to bring the answer out in rounu uuuiueis, wa find the deluded farmer, gains from his load of corn, f 15.00 at the mast. Aud the deluded man, has on a whole, lost, by his trip, 13.00, while he goes home rejoiclug in a belief of a clear profit of the whole amount. lie begomes very much like the case of the farmer who purchased a hog.at three dollars, aud fed him ten dollars worth or corn. At the expiration or the season he was sold for seveu dol lars, the farmer remarking he had "cleared four dollars on the hog; he didn't intend to make anything the households closer together. Let us try the experiment. A neigh bor, two miles away, over a well gtaded aud leveled road, may be reached with ease at a fifteen min ute's notice. Iu other words, he is fifteen minutes distant. The same neighbor, over a hilly and stony pathway, can be reached with dif ficulty, after a thirty minutes ride. To again change the language be Is thirty minutes distant. Is the conclusion not already drawn in the reader's mind! The same per son who has been only an acquain tance becomes, by a good road, a near neighbor, thus proviug the statement made above, that good roads draw households aud fami lies nearer together. Having learned the above facts, let us turn to another phase of the problem. All things before being done.must have a means through which to be done. We" may know that the moon would benefit us if laid in our hands; but the problem fails of solving, for lack of a means of obtaining the moou. The cat could not barm the mice if it were belled, but the project falls through, for lack of one to plan a way, to bell Madam Puss. But look, theu with care, for the means by which to solve this great problem of so much moment. Among many oth- I fcava weatacrtd 'the storms. Where the sHads of passion blow .

Good roads may be effected by proper legislation and public ex peuse. It has already been proven that good reads save money. Is it not then pertinent that we should effect them by taxation or legislation! He must be indeed dull who would prefer not to help to support a road force, at a taxa tion of 5 or 10 per centum, than to le dwprived of their blessings shown above, at a clear loss of 50 per centum. I argue further, good roads may be effected by agitating public in terest. This should be done through the press of a country. I, moreover maintain, good toads may be effected by the forming of road associations for the promo tion of good road making and proper drainage. In conclusion I would suggest, the necessity or proper ditching as a mcaus of keep ing the torrents and showers from doing damage. Proper grading and straightness are also addition al means of effecting good roads. Carefully avoiding unnecessary hills and elevations, is another im portant feature. I would advise the curviug' of all points in a road. It does not ueccessarily fol low that "to go round a bill" is a further distance than oyer it. The elevation has very much to do with the circumstances, in such cases, to s iy uothtug of the adrantage of sbunniug the gravitation of the hill. To sum it ail in a nut shell, a good road ought to be as level as possible; as straight as it cau be made, uonecesssarily crossing or tunueling hills; costing as lit tie as can be successfully expended in making a good road, and as benefiting to the surrounding com munity us it i- possible for it to be made.

I make them to suit the limited classes of the world. If they be raised oue hundred per centum, the loss will likewise be come greater. But it may be claimed that no inclinations may be fouud o lengthy. To os who have traveled them the truthful ness of the problem is appalling. But good roads, I argue further, are tneaus of saving time. Let us reason a little logically, just upon this notnt. In l&Jo to no troni a poiut ia North Caroliua to Virginia required twenty days. Owing to the better road beds, the same dis tance is imw traversed iu ten days hall the time. In this plain case there is a net gaiu of one hundred per centum of time. Averagiug the human life at 33 years, we will at its expiration have utilized 33 additional years. To be clearer. we will have accomplished in 33 years what our fathers accom plished in 66, and by this means will have lengthened our lives 100 perceutum.

Oue of the strangest facts of hu man experience is that spiritual progress depends largely on dis cipline. It has puzzled the schol ars of all age, and no solution as yet offered is wholly satisfactory. Every tuoogutiui man in every clime haa sought an answer to this question, Why is it that saiotlioeM must needs be born of hardship and cau be bad in no other way t We all know that the most dan gerous fortune for the young is what ia called good fortune. An undisciplined. boy is not likely to become a reapected man. There is nothing so nearly fatal as to al low a child to have his own way in all things. The rod may not be used, but it must be in eight, and enforced obedience is the peculiar ity of early training. Indeed, the very verb to train means a stern check to wanton impulse, and the great responsibility of parents is to suppress certain tendencies and to encourage ot hers. The wisdom of father aud mother is the provi dence ot the child, and if the child fails to understand it, and grows rebellious rather than submissive, or doubts the love which is some times stern and inexorable, be Is in precisely the state of mind in which bis ciders frequently find themselves with regard to God. The parallel is almost perfect, for when the youth grows to manhood and enjoys a broader outlook, and has children of bis own, be sees the reason for the discipline which in earlier days was irksome and inexplicable, and when both father and mother are gone regrets bis ingratitude and would gladly re call the aged from their heavenly home in order to tell them so. This is a universal experience, and a man must have a peculiar nature if such regrets have never paid him a visit aad tinged bis memory of the past with unspeakable sor row. The man is but a larger boy, and the providence of parents is re placed by that of the Almighty. As the boy was not broad enough to understand the severity of the earthly father, so the man is too narrow or too selfish or loo wilful to see the significance of the Hear enly Father's commands. lie longs intensely to have his life governed by his own wisdom, and cannot conceive that bis wisdom should be igoorauce. lie rebels against the statement that aoyons can bet ter know what is best fur him than he does uimseir. Kesigttation is therefore the. last virtue which he caies to cultivate. His laith runs along smoothly until God contra diets him, and then it is swallowed up in ihe 'orlex of doubt. lie makes his own brain the measure ot God's knowledge, and God be comes more or less of a myth to him whenever the divine will and his human will are in opposition. The atheist's doubts may have their origin in his logical faculty, but the Christian's doubt has its origin in selfconceit. The atheist can see no God at all; the Chris tian sees a God and then insists that this God shall not follow His own judgment, but shall act as the prayers of His creature may indi cate. If you will think of the matter very carefully yoa will discover that the purging or aiuiction ana the highest nobility ot character have a very close i elation to each other. One may go so far as to say thst the man who has never known profound sorrow has never known profound happiness. I confess that it is a mystery to me, but still the best men and womeu I have ever kuown are not those who have sailed on peaceful sess, but those who have breasted many a storm. There is something in a pro longed calm which demoralizes the strongest nature, ana some thing in a tempest which draws the grandest elements of the soul to the surface. You most weep if you would make the acquaintance of your best self. Yoa can never definitely locate heaven until yoa have closed aome dear one's eyes and stood by the open grave. An gels' voices are better heard in the dark thau in the garish dsy. So long hk yoa feel strong God ap pears to bo at an immeasurable distaure, but when you know that yoa are helpless, and so cry for succor, the rustle of nnseen gar ments fills the air and mellow in floences straight from the Throne steal ioto your heart. It may possibly be true, there fore, that what yoa call the wort things of life shall torn oat to be b best. The crude iroo ote a t . a a . a a a ounea m tue ntu na no commer cial value, bat when it ba been forced through consuming fire men are glad to bur it. In like manner the entrained mod undis ciplined soul isofiocompsrsbly les less worth than the soul through bitter grief has learned to obey the mysterious Cbmt as the mariner obeys the mysterious compass. . One thing is certain that if this lire is all, religion is so in trosioo and a delusion; but if an other life overlaps this one, and If tne enter purpose of this oue is to prepare ror the life to come, and if yoa believe this with all tour mind and all your heart, then it ligion is your prime necessity. A food nourishes the body, so re ligion nourishes the soul, and as physical growth is the result or taxiog labor, and cannot be bsd witboat it, so spiritual growth is im possible without burdens and disappointments and tears. With no heaven to look forward to bomao life is prolonged croelty. Buffeting the storm with no home in the distance is untold hardship; but when every wrary footstep brings yoa nearer to rest and peace the heart can s ng a song which drowns the ro-irmg of the wind and take a kind of heroic delight ia the vainly ippong elements. It will be well at last. The fiht is not Torever. Each setting sun brings joa nearer to your g-,l. Patience for a little white, and for a little while a calm endurance. Then comes sweet s!eep, fiom which yoa wake to htar the angel sing, Well done, good and faith ful servant ; enter into the joy of thy Lord.n mi mxmm Absolutely Pure A rva) e tArtar fcetttr fwu 6-r. nttl cs Sit la Wt.ta snrai Lsrsst S sraaoott assart l'oa Lsrear.

Msny of our newspapers are permauent business enterprises and the editors are making a pre carious and hazardous living oot of tbem. We all Cod it hard to get oot of the old ruts, and harder still to educate the people op to the ttue value of a newppcr. Bat we are slowly but surely doing it. After awhile the leaven will leaven the whole lamp, and every family will realize that they must have at least one or two good pa pers, and they will not hesitate to pay ror them. The people will soon learn that a good county or State paper is worth more than a gTeat institution of learning io any county in the State, and we ate not detracting from the value of colleges. It costs from two to four thousand dollars a year to run a good county paper, and then the editor and printers only make a bare living, but if eight tenths of the families io any county would subscribe aud pay for the paper, the cost of it would be a mere ttifle as compared to its value. People should learn that it is Jut as important to pay for a news paper as it is to pay for shoes or any article they buy. Fresh Oysters Tuesdays and Fiida)t.

Clarion Uotler. tbe Colt Senator io Congress from their State, is so tongue tied and bashful. They bawl expected that the yoong mau would speak op like a little man, unawrd by the solemnities of the Senate, atiil stir tbe dust of precedent, kick the ceil ing, make the eats uf the Hon. Adlai F.rwiug Stevenson hum, and scare boo Die little funt-pazes out of their wits. Instead, he has been as am at as a moue in the piesence of tbe uobelled cat. He Ims made only six seecltesofix hoars a day every woikingday or the six weeks he has been io the Senate. Natur ally, the Tar Ureter sie losiog confidence in him. Ue is oot pay ing bis quota of noiso. Ue is too silent. The Hon. William M. Stewart and the Iloa. William Al fred relfer like to hear him talk, to be sore. They are tbe only men who will listen to him, and he is the only nan who will listen to them; but be will never get the record br talking only thirty six hours a week. Thirty six hours a day is Mr. Stewart's record. We write polklea on all (1imi ef desirable risks in He fa'lowtrg stand, ard com f -as ire : J.
