ROADS AND ROAD MAKING.
We accept poor roads as one of the in
evitable evils oflife, and even call some of
thera good, or excellent, in comparison with
those vastly poorer. The people of one town
brag of roads that cost them three or four
times what much better ones ought to cost,
and are highly satisfied with their own, and
the high road tax, too, when they go outside
their town limits and see how much worse
off other people are. Were we governed by
a Louis Napoleon, Emperor, we would have
excellent roads, for he would know very well
that every dollar lost in the wear and tear of
wagons and horse flesh upon poor highways,
leaves just so much the less for him to draw
from the people by taxation. He would know
that it costs vastly more to keep roads in
passable, or poor condition, than in firstrate
order, having reference only to the outlay of
money and labor upon the roads. Wby is it
that tee cannot '.earn the same facts ? Wby
can we not see onr own interests, every man's
interests, as well as the head of a monarchical
form of government cao see his? The system
of working the roads from one end of the land
to the other, so far as we are acquainted, is
the most absurd that could be contrived. The
township or the county officers set apart cer
tain sums of money to be used for keeping
the roads in order in ctrtain districts, to each
its allotment. This money is to ba appor
tioned among the tax payers, and cither
"worked out" at alow rate of wages per day,
or collectea in money with other taxes, at the
option of the tax-payer. The road tax i 3
usually worked out. The road-master, or
whatever else his title may be, is a resident
of the district, and will rather follow the cus
tomary loose way of doing business, than see
to it that his work is done in the best way.
and with the least expenditure. lie will ac
cept for a day's work the labor of mere boys,
or of old men, and will have some days not a
single ahlebodied man on his whole force,
except himself and his hired man. Dm re
suit is, where ten days" works are "worked
out," three or four are doiic.
Besides, when spring work is pressing, or
haying and harvesting absorb all the labor of
the community, no road master will do so un
popular a thing as to warn out his neighbors
to work the roads. His own farm work
presses besides. So be delays until antumn,
after doing a few days' work in the early
Bpring. The roads are plowed up; gravel and
clay are scraped into the middle, "hog backs
are made, to keep the water from runu.ng
and washing in the middle of the road: —then
comes frost, and all the new work remains
soft and unsettled all the winter and spring,
except when frozen solid. All this is easily
obviated, and we may just as well have good
roads as poor one-. Almost every township
has a good young engineer and surveyor. Ap
point him road master for the town, give bim
a fair salary, one or two yokes of oxen, one
or two pairs hf horses, with carts, wagons,
plows, scrapers, and small tools to match.
bim have money enough to hire eight or
ten good men in summer, and perhaps four
in winfer. He should understand that his
business is to study road-making, read upon
the subject, learu where the best materials
are, break out of old ruts, and as soon as pos
sible give the people good roads all over the
township. There would of course be first, sec
ond. and third class roads, according to their
importance, and the amount of travel upon
them.
Similar systems to the one suggested are
pursued in many townships, and the result is
envariably a great improvement in the roads,
and after a little while, even at first, in some
cases, a decided decrease in the cost. We
know of some towns in which the road band"
are not employed more lhaD half their time,
although they cut and prepare timber, make
bridges, anil do much extra work. Their
services are, however, constantly in demand,
and by digging cellars, moving buildings,
laying cellar wails for houses, etc.. making
side walks in the village, putting down ce
ment walks and flours on private grouuds.
and in many other ways, they earn enough to
pay a large part of the ex uses of men uud
teams. The road-master inspects all the
roads once a month, especially after storms
and needed repairs, if promptly made, are
slight and efficient — American Agriculturist.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD I'AS, I KKS.
Many an acre grazed will not carry a sheep.
Other acres will g ; fall feed to a cow, each,
all through the ummer, and he pretty good
mowing when frost tomes. 1 io >h kinds pass
under our observation every dv. 'l'hc differ
ence is not in the original diameter of the
land, for it is found on adjoining farms, with
the same formation, and with the surface and
siib-sotl looking just alike. There is a big
pasture of HO acres, where lift)* sheep would
lose rather than gain lie-sh during the sum
mer. The oldest inhabitant does not remem
ber when it was plowed, seeded, or top
dressed. It has always been pastured—gen
erally by cows —until it ceased to yield feed
enough to support them. There is some
grass upon it now, but more mulleins, five
fingers, and moss. The grass is nearly
choked cut. But the soil was originally good.
'I he trees that still stand ou the borders are
heavy oak and chestnut timber, which do not
thrive on pcor. thin soils. Yonder is a field
of five acres, that pastures five cows, and has
done it for several years. The grass is luxu
riant, and grows much faster than the cattle
can consume it. It was stocked down five
years ago, after several years of heavy crop
ping, with vegetables and tobacco. Of course
it was manured heavily, and very thoroughly
cultivated. The land will feel that treatment,
and make grateful returns, for a whole gen
eration lo come. It is far within the limits
of truth to say, that one acre of this five is
wouh the whole fifty of the other for the pur
pose of sustaining •animal life and making
salable products. The one does not pay tax
es: the other pays them and a handsome
profit. Now we do not belief there is cny
royal road lo thrift with these run down pas
tures. Top-dressing wiil not answer, for the
grasß seed is not there to vegetate. Seeding
will do little good, for the grass already there
is growing small by degrees, If the soil is
fair, arabie lund. plow, plant, manure, and
cultivate, and you give it a now start. That
old sod of dead grass roots and moss roots,
becomes plant-food, and sends up joyful har
vests. But this will cost money, spent in
manure, seeds, and labor. You say. Of
course it will, and if yoa get your money back
again, principal and interest, you ought to be
satisfied. If by spending SOO upon a worth
less acre of pasture you make it pay you the
intere-1 on SOO above the working expenses,
- oa arc doing a good business. We must
use our capital i n farming just as we do in
o.aer enterprises. We must bury it as we do
our wheat, that it may live and bear fruit.
It we buy stock in a railroad, or in almost
my enterprise, the capital dies for a time.

Two old ladies, who were knowa to be of

A PALINDROME is a line that reads alike

A VERY curious mode of trying the title of

DR. WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL.
It is tho vital principle of the Plae Tree, ob
tained by a peculiar process in tbe distillation of
the tar, by which its highest medical properties
arc retained.
It is the only safe-guard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the juice of
the Pino Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organs and restores
the appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purifies and enriehss the blood, and expels
from tho system tho corruption which scrofula
breeds on tbe lungs.
It disolves tbe mucus or phlegm whieh stops
the air-passage of tho lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon tho irriUtel
surface of the lungs and throat, penclrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing
infiamation.
It is the result of years of study and experi
ment, and it is offered to tbe afflicted, with the
positive assurance of its power to cure the follow
ing diseases, if the pat ient has not too long delay
ed a resort to the means of cure:—
Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat
and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind
and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough,

awhile,but by their constringing effects, the fibres
become hardened, and the unhealthy fluids coagu

ease beyond the control of onr most eminent phy

causes of irritation of the mucous membrane and

off tbo unhealthy and purify the blood,
thus scicntificaliv making the core perfect.

I ALTII A M WATCHES.
For a few months past we have advertised
the above Watches at extremely low prices,
and the result has been most satisfactory.
Our plan has been to sell the genuine WAL
THAM WATCH, in Solid Gold or Silver Ca
ses only, and at a very small profit: giving
the purchaser every opportunity of examina
tion and comparison, and with the under
standing that if the Watch does not prove
satisfactory, it can be exchanged or the mo
ney refunded.
These Watches are, without exception, the
most perfect specimens of fine mechanism
ever produced in any country. Each and ev
ery part is made by machinery of the most
delicate and elaborate construction.
Compared with foreign watches, they pos
sess many advantages, excelling not only in
principle and finish, but still more in their
reliability as time-keepers. As an indica
tion of the prices we submit the following:
Silver Hunting Watches, OO
Gold limiting Watches, IS karat.... SO OO
Gold Hunting Watches, ladies'site, 70 OO
We often receive orders direct from our
advertisement, but prefer that every one
should send first for our descriptive price
list, which explains all the different kinds,
tells the weight and quality of the cases, and
gives prices of each. This wo will forward
to any one on application, and it will be found
very useful in making a selection.
Every Watch is warranted by special eer
tijicale from the American Watch Co.
We send them by express to any address.
Allow the purchaser to open the package and
examine the Watch before paying, and if af
terwards it does not prove satisfactory, it can
be exchanged or the money will be cheerfully
retunded.
Please state that yon saw this in the Ixgt i-
Address, in full, HOWARD 4 CO.,
No. 619 Broadwat, N. Y.
Our establishment is well known to the
residents of New York and vicinity, but that
those at a distance may address us with con
fidence, we invite attention to the following
editorial notices:
From the New York Evangelist, May 28, 1868.
We bad occasion some time since to refer
to these celebrated American Watches which
are well known as reliable time-keepers. We
cannot do better now than to call the atten
tion of our readers to the card of Howard &
Co., by which it will be seen that persons
from a distance can order any grade of these
Watches by express, at greatly reduced prices.
From the N. Y. Independent, June 16, 1868.
We invite special attention to the adver
tisement ot Messrs. Howard 4 Co., who offer
the celebrated Wallham Watches not only at
the lowest prices, but will send them to any
part of the country by express, and give the
purchaser the privilege to examine the Watch
before paying for it. We have known How
ard & Co. personally for years, and cheerful
ly commend them to the confidence. o£ our

QUlt NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
The superior merit* of tha "Singer" Machines
over all otheri, for either family use or man a.
factoring purpose*, are so well established and
generally admitted, that an enumeration of their
relative excellence is no longer considered nec
essary.
OCR NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which has been brought to perfection regardless
of time, labor or expense, is now confidently pre
sented to the public as incomparably
THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX
ISTENCE.
The machine in question is
SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU
TIFUL
It is quiet, light running, and capable of per
forming a range and variety of work never be
fore attempted upon a single machine, -using
either silk, twist, linen or cotton thread, and sew
ing with equal facility the very finest and coarsest
materials, and anything between the two extremes,
in the most beautifnl and substantial manner. Irs
attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording,
i Tacking, Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding,
i etc , are novel and practical, and have been in.
vented and adjusted especially for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the
machines manufactured by this Company, have
been prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea however, ean at best be given
through the medium of a (necessarily) limited ad
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to ex
amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all the
leading rival machines before making a purchase
A selection can then be mado
Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singeri
Machines will be fonnd in nearly every city and
| town throughout the civilized world, where
| machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any
information promptly furnished. Or communi
cations may bo address<*d to

YE R' 8 HAIR T IGO R
FOR rug
RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREAT DESIDERATUM of the AGE!
A dressing which is at once agrecabie, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or
gray hair ie soon reetored to iteoriyinnt color and
the yloee and freehneee of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, Tailing hair checked, and baldness of
ten, though not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it e'ean
vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent thehair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not barm it. If wanted mere
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain,
ing neither oil nor dye, it docs not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
