between people of the same neighbot hood,
and with that well-known enjoyment
which comes from riding, whether in
carriage or saddle., They make horse
life painful, and, more than this, the3r
are crpensive.
We cannot afford to tolrratr bad roads.
It is a well known fact that wagons and
carriages last much longer in light, sandy
soils, than in clayey and stony .lauds.
When a vehicle in rapid motion strikes
a stone, or comes to a sudden halt in a
chuck-hole, it receives a serious blow.—
The tire S 9 battered, the joints are started,
the harness strained, and the horse
strained too, if not the rider. Now sup
pose such shocks repealed several times
, a day throughout the year,the.result must
be something important. At least so the
bills at the blacksmith's, wheelwrlght's
and harness maker's will testify. One
who is good at figures might calculate
with tolerable accuracy the cost of a sin
' gle'stone or other nuisance in a highway
for- a year.
If
,roads were m kept.
ore geiwrally
smooth and clear of stones, the breakers
,repaired whenever necessary, and the
Side drains kept open, there would not
only be a great saving of wear and tear,
but many of*the mishaps, accidents and
vacations caused by rough roads, would
be avoided. Hence the Importance of
electing none but good and capable men
as Supervisors. It is the duty of these
officers to putthe roads in good condition
and keep them so, and it is the duty, as
wall as to the interest, of farmers, to co
operate with them in their efforts. •
Independent of the action of Supervis
, tors, it would pay well for the people of
every neighborhood to spend a few days,
at this season of the year, with crowbar,
'pickaxe and shovel, in removing imbed-
I dad stones, in throwing gravel and loose
earth on the'rough places, and in picking
loose stories from the roads. A. S.
- iimucscuse A COW.
It is someftmi:s the ease that the best
judges will be deceived. A cow of very
unpromising appearance, coarse in the
neck, large boned, and second or third
rate milk marks generally, will now and
then turn out to be first-rate; while
another, with these marks largely devel
oped, fine in the head and neck, and
promising every way, will prove unsatis
factory. But a failure in this case is rare.
Let the head be light, the forehead broad,
the horn rather thin and clear, the eye
clear and prominent, the neck thin, and
the quarters very light, the back straight,
the hindquarters well developed, wide
over the loins, the carcass deep, the ud
der coining forward and well shaped,
the skin soft to the touch, tire teats well
set, not too large uov too small, and the
tall long and thin like a whip-lash.--
uch a cow ought to be a good one.

SAVE YOUR OLD BREAD.
Every housekeeper, perhaps,- does not
know, what however is true, that pieces
of old bread, crumbs, &c., on being soak
ed and mixed up with dough in making
new bread, improves it very much. We
would advise all housekeepers who read
this recipe to try it, and, our word for it,
they will never allow apiece of dry bread
to be lost afferward, especially in these
times of high prices, when flour is fifteen
dollars per barrel. Eto says au exchange.

TILE REJECTED RANK NOTE.
"What is the price of this dressing
-
gown, sir?" asked - a sweet-faced girl, en
4ering the elegant store of .Huntley &
\Varner, in a city which shall beliatne
less.
It was a cloudy day. The clerks lou•ng
cd over.the counter and yawned. The
man to whom Alice Locke addressed her
self was jaunty and middle-aged. lie
was-head clerk of the extensive establish
ment of Huntley & Warner, and extreme
ly conseipential—in manner.
"'Phis d: ming gown we valtio at • six
dollars—you shall lmve it at live, as trade
Is dull to-day."
"Five dollars!" Alice looked at the
dressing gown ipngingly mid the eletk

though made mid worn genteel}, were
common enough in texture, and that
face was very much out of the common
line. I low it changed ! now shaded, now

that she had no more than that'sum, live

mind to take
"Jennie," cried Torrent, the head clerk,
bi a quick, pompous tune, "pa ....,a up the
bank note detector." -
Vp nth the tow headed boy with the
detector, and down ran the clerk's eye
from eolunm to-eolurn n. Then he looked
over• with a sharp glance and exclaimed:
"That's a counterfeit bill, Mks."
'Counterfeit! Oh, no—it maim: be ; the
man who sent it could noi have been 1;.)
cureless; you must be mistaken, sir."
"I inn not mistaken; I'm never mista
ken, ;hiss. This bill is a counterfoil - .
must presume, of course, that you did Intt
know it, although so much bad money
has been offered us of late that we intend
to secure :welt personA as pass it. Who
did'you say sent it?"
"Mr. C—, sir, of New York. ' /lc
could not send me had money," said the
trembling, frightened girl. .
"humph!' said the clerk. "Well,
there's no doubt about this; you can look
for yourself. Now don't let me see you
here again until you can bring good mo
ney, for we always suspect such persons
as you that come on dark days with a well
made story." -
"DLit, sir
"You need make no explanations,
Miss," said the man insultingly. "Tait:
your bill, and next time you, want tit
buy a dressing, goWn, don't try to pass
your counterteit money," and he hurlVd
it, the bill, from his hands.
Alice caught it froin the floor and hur
ried into the street:
Such a shock the girl had never rp
celved. She hurried to a banking estab
lishment, found her way in. and present
ed the note to a not,le lookinganan with
gray hair, faltering out, "is this bill a
bad m?, air ?"
The eathier and his son happened to be
the bnly persons present. Both noticed
her bxtreme youth, beauty and agitation.
The cashier looked closely and handed
it hack, as with a polite bow and some
what prolonged look, he said :
"It's a good bill, you're lady."
"I knew It was," cried Alice, with ,a
quivering lip—"and he dared—"
She could go no farther, but entirely
overcome, she bent her head, and the hot
tears had their way.
' "I beg pardon, have you any trouble
with it?" asked the cashier.
"Oh, sir, you will excuse me for giving
way to my feelings—but you r,poke su
kindly, and I Mt so sure that it was good.
And 2 think, sir, such men as one of the
clerks in Huntley do Warner's should be
removed. He told me it was counterfeit,
and added something that I era glad my
father did not hear. I knew the publish
er would not send we bad money."
"Who is your father, young lady ?"
asked.the cashier, becoming interested.
"Mr. Benjamin Locke, sir."
"Benjamin—Ben. Locke—was be ever
a clerk in the Navy Department at Wash
ington?"
''Yes sir; we removed from there," re
plied Alice. "Since thee—she hesita
ted—"he has not been well—and we are
somewhat reduced. Oh why do I tell

"Ben. Locke reduced!" murmured the

time let me have the bill—let me see—l'll
give you another. Since I come Whit*,
I haven't got a five—here's a ten; we'll
make it all right."
That evening the inmates of a shabby
genteel house received the cashier of the
111---Ilank._ Mr. Locke, a man of
gray hair, though numbering but fifty
years, rose from his arm chair, and much
affected greeted the familiar face. The
son of the (miller accompanied him, and
while the elders talked together, Alice
and the young man grew quite chatty.
"Yes, sir, I have-been unfortunate,"
said Mr. Locke in low tone. "I have
just recovered, as you see, from rheuma
tic fever, caused by undue exertion —and
had it not been for that sweet girl of mine,
I know not what I should have done.
She, by giving lessons in music and
French, and :by writing for periodicals,
has kept me, so far, above want."
"You shall not want, my old friend,"
said the cashitv. "It was a kind Provi
dence that: sent your daughter to me.
There's a place in the bank just made va
cantly death, of a valuable clerk, and is
at yotw disposal. It is In my gift and
valued at twelve hundred a ye tr."
Pen cannot describothe joy with which
this kind offer was accepted.
The day of deliverance had come.
* * * * * *
On the following morning the onshier
entered the handsome store of Huntley &
Warner, and inquired for the head clerk.
He ea►ne obsequiously.
"Sir," said the cashier, sternly, "Is this
a had note?"
"I—l think not, sir," stammeringly re
plied the clerk.
The cashier went to the door. From
his carriage stepped a young girl In com
pany with his daugliter.
"Did }-ou not tell this young lady, my
ward, that this note was counterfeit?
And did you not so forget self-respect
and the interest of your employers, as to
offer un Insult?"
The man stood confounded—he dared
not deny—he could say nothing for him
self.
"If your employer., keep you, sir, they
will no longer have my custom," said the
cushier, sternly. "You dyserve to be
horsewhipped, sir."
The firrla parted with their unworthy
clerk that very day, and he left the store
disgraced, but puuished justly.
Alice Locke became the daughter of
the good cashier. All of which grew out
of calling a genuine bill counterfeit.

especially busy on the Sabbath in defend - -

your preaching? What good do you do
ity it? Why don'tyou teach these fellows
better morals? Why don't you tell them
something about stealing, in your ser
mons, and keep them from robbing my
orchard ?" To this the minister pleasant
ly replied: "My dear sir, I am sorry that
you are so annoyed ; and I would most
willingly read the fellows who rob your
orchard a lecture on thieving, hut the
truth is, they arc so like you mid the Ma

"good, good," replied the Major, hiugh

a little, and, in an apologetical tone, said:
"Well, well, I believe it is true enough ;
—it is not the eiturch-going people that
steal my apples."

Mrs: Burke, in calico gown, blue petti

her face on her apron.

Her warning came too late. I caught
my foot in the end of a board, stumbled
and fell headlong through what appeared
to be interminable space, hut it was only
to the room I had just left, where I was
saved from destruction by Bill, who
caught me In his arms and set me on my

she was magnificent, in a green caller,
over a crinoline full four inches lamer

with red strings, blue etoekinga, a yellow
neck ribbon, and white cotton glirves.--
Her reddish hair was fastened In a plug

When it was annoaneed that Lem.

quickly retreated with a stew pan, a few

Mr. Morrison stood; the ieppy couple
joined hands through a rent in the cover

as Mr. Morrison was asking Lemuel,
"will you have this woman," etc., down
came the coverlet, en ve loping bridegroom

Sally was obliged to be married openly.

"Salute your bride," said Mr. Morrison,
when all was dyer.
