Impairing Township HoaJs.
A bill has been presented to the House of
Hepresentatlves at Harrlsburg, and report
ed favorably by the Committee on Agricul
ture, which provides that the cltUens of any
township representing at least two-thirds In
value of the taxable property of the town
ship, may request the road supervisors to
give out at public outcry, to tho lowest and
best bidder, tho making and repairing of
the public roads of tho township, for a term
of three years. When Jthcre are not more
than twonty miles of road, tho wholo ahall
be sold Inono lot; where over twenty, In
two lots. Alt new roads shall be let In the
same way, with the opening and keeping
them lu repair until the next letting.
The auditors of the townships shall pay
the contractors in monthly Instalments; tho 1
supervisors are required to Inspect the roads
twice a month, and report to tho auditors ;

comract, ttio auditors may ucciiuo ui iu
monthly payments until the rinids are satis-
, , . r li
factorily repaired. In cae of a disagree-1
nient between tho contractors, supervisors out my yellowest feathers, or upset by uath
and auditors, the contractors may petition tub. Now, you look like a sensible little
the court to appoint viewers to view and re
port to the court, which then may make
such decree as justice requires.
The purchasers of read contracts shall I
gtvo a bond double the amount of their con
tracts (security to be approved by the town-1
ship auditors) to comply with their contracts I
file the samo In the oftice of the Clerk of the
Court of Quarter Sessions, and have the
same approved by tho court. In case the
lowest bidder fall within five days to give
the required security, then the second shall
be notified to give it; if ho fail, then a
re-sale shall be made. The supervisors shall
reccivo not exceeding two hundred and fif
ty dollars salary, to bo fixed by the auditors.
No supervisor shall be a bidder, or have any
interest, directly or Indirectly, in any load
contract, aud no bidder At the regular sale I
who failed to give security, shall be permit
ted to bid at a re-sale. Any neglect or vio
lation of duty by supervisor, auditor or con
tractor is made a mlsdemeauor, and the of
fender can be prosecuted and, if convicted,
lined not exceeding twohundreddollars,or im
prisoned not exceedidg two months, or both.
Each township acceptingthe provisions of
the act shall annually elect only one super
visor. Any supervisor refusing or neglect
ing to sell the making or repairing ot roads
can be compelled by mandamus from the
Court of Quarter Sessions.
We have given a concise summary of the
act, because we deem it a very important
change, in the laws for keeping the township
roads in repair. Some townships have ape-
cial laws applicable to them for the sale of I
tne repairing ol roaus, out we believe mat I
this bill, if generally accepted by the tax
payers of the different townshlps,would glv
us better roads, at a less cost to the taxpay
ers. If this act Is accepted by a township,
the supervisor's duty would bo to pass over
every road in his township twice every
month, and the contractor would give his
time to the work ho had contracted to dn,
and with a small force bo constantly going
over the roads. The supervisor would be
paid a small salary, just enough to compen
sate him for his time. The trouble with the
roads now is that tbey are neglected and al
lowed to get "bad" before being attended to,
while if taken in time the repairing of them
would cost less, and they would always be
passable, and never really bad. It will be
the bounden duty of one man to keep tbem
in repair, and of another to see that it is
done, or be will not be paid, and both are
liable to.be punished for neglecting to per
form their respective duties. On the whole
we think the bill ought to be passed. lie.
Mother Sliipton's Prophecy.
THE WOULD TO COME TO AN END IN 1881.
Many people take great comfort just now
in repeating certain lines of Mo'her Ship
ton's Prophecy," said to have been written
in 1453 :
In twice two hundred year's the Bear
The Crescent Bhall assail ;
Put If the Cock and Hull unite,
The Bear Bhall not prevail.
But look 1 in twice ten years again
Let Islam know and fear
The Cross shall wax, the Crescent wane,
Grow pale and disappear.
"Twice two hundred yeark" from 1453
brings us to 1853. This was the beginning
of the Crimean war. France (the "cock")
and England (the "bull") declared war in
alliance with Turkey (Islam) against Rus
sia (the "bear") in March, 1854. In 185G
peace was concluded by congress at Paris.
"The bear did not prevail." "Twice ten
years"from this period brings us to 187C,dur
lag which year the disturbances commenced
in Herzegovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria, Mon
. r. . ........ . ,
tenegro auu oervia; wnicn nnauy involved
the Porte in war.
This is a good fit so far, but Mother Ship
tun proceeds to day :
Gold shall be found aud grown
In a land that's not yet known,
l'iro and water shall wonders do,
Kngland at last shall admit a Jew,
Tho world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred aud eighty-one
If all this is true, the man elected Presi
dent In 18S0 will hardly get settled in his
seat. Inter. Ocran:

"Why.what are you Iterator canary ?" he
tald, "I thought your place was the bay

"So it Is o it Is 1" beginning with a
twitter, answered the canary ; "but they
aatd I talked too much 1" ending with a
trill.
"Talked 1" repeated the mouse, sitting up
on her hind-lees and looking earnestly at
him. "I thought you only sang I"
"Well, singing and talking mean about
the same thlug In bird-language," said the I
canary. "But goodness g-r-r-raclousl" he
went on, swinging rapidly to and fro In his
little swing at the top of his .cage, "'t was

" 'A lovely, lovely, lovely day!" sang I.

I heard some one say, "What a noise that

loudly ho sings I" repeated I, how loudly he
sings 1 the bird, the bird, the beautiful
bird aweet, sweet, sweet, aweet ' But
suddenly my song ended, for my mlstrees
got up, uuhobked my cage,saylng, "Canary,
you're a chatterbox ; you talk too much,"
and brought me In here.
"And really, mouse, as you must see, I
didn't say more than a dozen or so words.
What do you think about it ?"
"Well," said the mouse, stroking her
whiskers and speaking slowly, "you didn't
lay much, but it strikes me you talked a
great deal."
"Oh 1" said the canary, putting his head
on one side and looking thoughtfully at her
out of his right, bright, black, round eye.
But just then tho mouse heard an approach
ing footstep, and. without even saying
"good-bye," eho hurried away to the hole
behind tho book-case. St, Alcholat for

What the Blind See.
Mr. Levy, In his work on "Blindness and
toe tillnd, says : When passing along a
street I can distinguish shops from private
houses, and even point out the' doors, win
dows, etc., and this whether the doors be
shut or open. When a window consists of
an entire sheet of glass it is more difficult to
discover than one composed of a number of
small panes. From this it would seem that
glass is a bad conductor of sensation con
nected with this sense. When objects below
the face are perceived the objects seem to
come in an oblique line from the objects to
tho upper part of the face. While walking
with a friend in Forest Lane, I said pointing
to a fence which separated the road from
the field, "Those rails are not quite as high
us my shoulder ?"
He looked nt them and said they were
higher. They, however, measured three
incbes lower than my shoulder. When I
made this observation I was about four leet
from the rails. Certainly in this instance
facial perception waa more accurate than
sight. When the lower part of the fence is
brickwork, and the upper part tails, the fact
can be detected, and the line where the two
meet easily perceived. Irregularities in
height, projections and inundations in walls
can also be discovered. A similar sense
is found among the animal creation, and es
pecially in bats, which have been known to
fly about without striking anything after the
cruel, experiment had been made of ex
tacting their eyes. London Olobt.

Aueidote of Lincoln.
"One day," said Mr. Lincoln, "when 1
first got here, I got into a fit of musing in
my room, and stood resting my elbows on
I the bureau, Looking into the glass It struck I
me what an awful ugly man I was, The I
1 fact Krew on W8 auj j matie u , min j
1 that I must be the ugliest man in the world.
It so maddened me that I resolved, should
- I ever see an uglier man I would shoot him
at sight. Not long after this Andy " nam-
ing a lawyer present) "came to town, and
the first time I saw him I said to myself,
'There's the man.' I went home, took down
my gun, and prowled around the streets
waiting for him. He soon came along.
'Halt, Audy,' said I, pointing, my gun at
him. 'Say your prayers, for I'm going to
shoot you.
" 'Why, Mr. Lincoln, what's the matter ?
what have I done?"
"Well, I made an oath that if I over saw
u man uglier than I am, I'd shoot him on
the spot. You are uglier cure ; so make
ready to die.
" 'Mr. Lincoln, do you really think I am
uglier than you ?'
" 'Yes.'
'"Well, Mr. Lincoln,' replied Andy de
liberately, and looking me squarely In the
face, ' If I am any ugller,rc atwiy F Ed
