Sad Roads.
Man must use his whips ami
goads driying o’er the rutty
roads, he must often push the
wagon lo assist the horse or
mule; and lie rears and jerks the
lines, and he quickly undermines
all the helpful moral lessons that
he learned at Sunday school. And
his wagon oft gets stuck in the
gumbo or Uu; muck and a mail
can hear him praying seven
versts or so away; and he dances
a-ud he rants, swearing by, his
Sacred Aunts .that an hour..on
such a highway turned his gold-:
>n uingIKs gray. This fool
thing’s been going on ever since
the nation’s dawn, and it’s really
only lately that the farmer (took
his tools and got busy making;
|Cpads, .singing. (Hicrry little odes,:
as he pushed the shining scraper]
and. I he sway-hacked sored;
mules. Now all o’er the western;
lands there are joyous tuilingi
hands blasting up the bla«,l**d|
gumbo, lllling up the ruts and
;U»de«: and the fappier .views the

and lie’s glad that he is living,
and he whoops and caracoles.
