poor "roads cause discontent. fhry Hvt Done Muck to Dritrojr the Glorj f New KngUml llumr. Good roads nro of paramount importance to over citizen, but to the farmex wtxH!inllv. For tho nast few decades

tho farmer has devoted his attention tc. tho problem of producing crop of the DeSl qUNlll 1 II1U (JVBl"' UWUUIUK.I at the least cost, ami in tho solution ol this problem he had succeeded admirably. But the longer and tho better and the cheaper his product, the poorer, apparently, does he find himself to bo at tho end Of the year. Others seem to gain the profit; loss falls to his share. One cause of this state of affairs is not difficult to find. Tho average, farmer hae not yet comprehended and 6olved the problem of exchange. The expenso oi getting his produce to market and of returning those commodities for which he has exchanged the products of the farm falls as a heavy burden upon tho agriculturist Tho cost of cartagoof crops one way from tho farm to tho railroad station, 5 to 10 miles distant, and of fuel, fertilizers, machinery, commercial feet! stuffs, furniture, clothing and provisions from the market to tho country homo has been so great as to reduce tlie value of farms, a littlo distant from the centers, 60 to 100 per cent, causing them in many cases to bo abandoned. For example, a farm of 23 acres of ar able laud iu a square lot containing a pretty hou&e of five rooms in good repair, a barn, plenty of fruit trees, located in the midst of magnificent scenery, on a main road, 1 miles from Amherst college. Massachusetts, within two miles of two stations on two railroads, hardly a mile from church and schoolhouso and etore, has been for years offered for sale without a purchaser and has often been vacant, while many havopaid$50 or $100 more for a tenement of fivo rooms in a second story of a village house than was asked for the rent of tho wholo farm house, barn, garden, orchard, pasture. and tillage. Poor roads are an efficient factor in producing the discontent of our rural population. Dusty and stony in summer, muddy and deluged in spring and autumn, rough or slipper' or drifted with snow in tho winter, poor roads are dangerous to life and limb, a constant tear upon horses and harnesses, wagons and carriages. They isolate the f armer 8 family from the school, from the church, from the poetoffifio and all of its educational facilities, from all the social cen ters of thought and advancing civiliza tion. They have dono more than any other single factor to destroy the glory of the New England homo of oldea time, to produce the abnormal growth of the city, with its increasing evils, and to make agricnlturo nnremuncrative to the farmer. What can be done to show the farmer the necessity of good roads? Poor, bad, abominable roads are common. A piece of road properly constructed upon which the farmer might drive his teams would do more to convince him of the value and economy of good roads and to send him annually into the town meeting nd his representative into the legislature demanding good roads in return for taxes assessed than any amount of pamphlets and pictures and speechmalclag. Rev. C S. Walker in Good Roads. Thm KcBtSjr Ter Feer Reads. The New York Sun has the following to say about federal aid for the improvement of the highways: The federal congress has nothing whatsoever to do with the roads in Sie boteral states, and it is absurd to ask congress to give tho secretary of agriculture money to make an inquiry which can do no good. A pamphlet compiled and printed by the secretary of agriculture on this question will be little read and Will serve no good purpose. Every one will admit tho importance of constructing and maintaining good roads in every state of tho Union, and all the funds available for that purpose should bo judiciously expended npon the public highways. But the roads belong peculiarly to tho stato sovereignty or to the people of each individual state, and it is tho well settled kw that tho roads are held in trust by the public authorities for the benefit of tho pooploof tho whole state. Tho authority of tho federal government extends only over the land within a state which has been ceded to the federal government or which has been reserved for its Bscs, such as land occupied for lighthouses or government fortifications. Tho streets of our great cities are kept in good order through taxation levied on the inhabitants of the city or county, and in New York stato in the country districts the roads are under the charge of local authorities, and. such, we believe, is the caso In every other state of the Union. The remedy, therefore, for poor roads must be found in a change of local senthnent or in tho enactment of now laws by tho state legislatures. Good Roads Urin KeOncmeiit. The pleasure and benefits to bo found in good roads cannot bo overestimated. Wherever found you are sure to find a thrifty people. By their means neigh borly feelings are promoted and social ties strengthened. The advantages of education are brought nearer home, and refinement and cultivation become potent factors is the instruction of the young. Bad roads are very expensive, for they tax time, stock, vehicles and the property transported. Good roads may perhaps require a greater outlay for first cost, but when properly prepared and their maintenance closely watched are much cheaper in tho end. F. G. Ingersoll. Gund I-aml Wim !-!. However rich and productivo our lands may be, without means of communication to market our surplus tho markets of the world aru closed against us. I know an isolated body of agricultural laad la Idaho easily caiablo of producing 1,000,000 bushels Of wheat per annmn for export that does not placo in the market a singlo bushel,, for iho sole tmacn that it has no road.

They may not admit a defect of qualities as thoy admit n defect of powrs, x. causo their now clearness of visum has developed a new dread of cir. cunistantial opinion, but thoy iw,.. inzo it fully and sometimes make of tho recognition a basis for action m lifo. Wo liavo known at least two cases of jealous men deliberately refvtHii" prolitablo positions in winch that passion would bo strongly excited and liavo repeatedly hoard men assign their tempers as difficulties which would, as they saw with jKr feet clearness, impede their success in lifo. As to greed, we believe its recognition to lo tho commonest of all things and a constant reason with tho man himself t-itlur f ir choosing a career or dehlierat lyiejectin ono as too much mutmuihIoiI with "toinptations" for his i .rtini lar weakness. The timid cm saly decline go(Kl prospects for (vu. is for which they know themscht s unfittetl and so, occasionally to the intolerable voA'ation of their frii mli, do tho lazy, who very often ate thoroughly irwuro of and deplore a vire if it is a vice, which doin-icls on circumstances of which they never theless cannot purgo their itav.ire "I know," says tho man mi nffw-t-ed, "that I shall shirk the work." Liars, too, tiro keenly aware r f their special temptation, ami though they refuso nothing on account of it aro wonderfully awaro of the nks they run, aud usually, though not always, hato thoso who bring their vice into active exercise. Selfishness is a more subtle quality, because it takes to itsell intellectual disguise tho selfish d.'Mn fr domiuanco, for example, often insonting itself under tho appearance of duty. But even selfishness, we imagine, seldom hides itself from tho 'man whoso naturo it corrodes. Certainly tho most selfish man we ever encountered knew thoroughly that ho was selfish and excused himself to himself, not by denying hü vice, but by attributing it to overy otkt person with whom ho came in con tact Tho view inwardly as well as tho view outwardly has cleared, and tho men of tho day tend at all events to realize tho philosopher's wire and know themselves quite through. Whothcr this clearness of vuuv induces modern men to purge then selves of their evil qualities mow than their moro self deceived predecessors, wo cannot qui to decide On tho whole, wo think not, and that thero is a strong alloy of cynicism in modem clearsightedness, but there must bo reserves m that harsh jwi? incnt, aud moro especially alwu! selfishness. Wo nover know a man mado less greedy by his controlling will and nover heard of a man cureof laziness by anything but poverty or other deep cutting whip.

But wohavetefn desperato and successful efforts to control temner and. eunousi) enough, real cures of selfishness ef fected from within. Tho man u holned in that last effort by the mo era passion for sympathy and fcoroetimes lauds himself in tho opH and stupidly illogical position of on who behoves that tho pleasant cow is tho selfish courso and therefore past discussion tho wrong courso to pursue which it may bo or may w London Spectator.
