What deep and worthy love is uot so? whether of woman or child, 1 or art or music? Our caresses, our tender words, our still rapture under the influence of Autumn sunsets, or pillared vistas, or calm, majestic statues, or Beethoven symphonies, all bring with tbem the consciousness that they are I mere waves and ripples In an unfathom- i able ocean of love and beanty; our emotion In its keenest moment peases from expression Into silence; our love at its 1 highest flood rushes beyond its object, i and loses Itself in the sense of divine mystery. Is it any weakness, pray, to t>? wrought on by exquisite music ? to feel its wonderous harmonies searchlug the subtlest windings of your soul, ' the delicate fibres of life where no . memory can penetrate, and binding together your whole being, past and present, in oue unspeakable vibration, melting you in one moment with all the tenderness, all the love that has | been .scattered through the toilsome i years, concentrating in one emotion of i heroic courage or resignation all the i hard-learned lessons of of self-renounc- i ing sympathy, blending your present i joy with past sorrow, and your present < ?orrow with all your past joy? If not, 1 theu neither i* it a weakness to be so i wrought upon by the exquisite curve* < ou a woman's cheek aud neck aud ' arms, by the liquid depths of her be- i ueechiDK eyes or the sweet cbildiuh I pout of her lips. For the beauty of a ' lovely woman is like music, what can < one Bay more? Beauty ban au expres- ' sion beyond and far above woman'ti i soul, that it clothes, an the words of i genius have a wider meaning than the < thought that prompted them; it is I more than woman's love that moves as I in a woman's eyes?it seems to be a I far-off* mighty love that has come near i to us, and made speech for itself there; < the rounded neck, the dimpled arms move us by something more than their prettiuess?by their close kinship with all we have known of tenderness and peace.

BOADS OF THE SOUTfl HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. Can Boast of Some of the Beat B?d* In the World?The Employment ol Convict* on the Hlffhwaya of Rerth CarolUuu Among the many interesting and vsluable articles published in ft recent number of Harper's Weekly was the following on highway improvement in tbe south: One of tbe most important, bat least conspicuous, movements In the new south is that being made In behalf of good country roads. About fifteen years ago there was a general revival bf interest in the building of country roads, and now many communities in tbe south have systems of roads of which they justly feel proud. Even North Carolina, long known as the Rip Van Winkle of the southern state*, has at last awakened and Is giving lessons to the outside world In the constru^pon of good roads. It is A - jijA \ \ 1 \ * yt| I.jnc HiCADUOZXD BO AD XV KOKTH CilOMtt. oo exaggeration to say that the roads of Mecklenburg county, N. C, are the best to be found in the entire Month. The county of Mecklenburg la near the South Carolina 'line, and is pierced by that division of the Southern nilroad which extends from Washington to Atlanta. Tbe county seat la Char* lotte, a progressive city of thirty thousand inhabitants. Within a radios of one hundred miles of this city thee* are three hundred cotton factories, comprising more than half of the spindles and looms operated in the sooth. In 1890 the authorities of the comity conceived the Idea of utilizing the con* vlcts for the Improvement of the public roads. Instead of locking up offenders In tbe county jail or sending them to the penitentiary It was decided to employ them at home in Improving tbe blgbwaya. A law was paand authorizing the use of convicts for this purpose. The convicts were organized Into a squad or camp, placed under the control of a competent supervisor and engineer, and the work of grading, straightening and macadamising the roads was begun. A abort experience demonstrated that the convict laborers cost the county only 25 cents per dsy per head. Including food. lodging, clothing and overseeing. The outfit for the road work, consisting of .a steam roller, crasher, bins, portable engine, road machine tad a screen for aaaorting the rocks, cost about $5,000. At present the county has In operation tyo road outfits and employs' about sixty convicts with each outfit. The total expenditure In constructing each mile of macadamised road is from $1,600 to $2,800, not including bridges. In summer the convicts live In tents along the road, snd in winter they live in barracks. The rock used for the roads Is bought from tbe farmers, who haul and deposit It at tbe convict camp These roods have been In process of construction for twelve years at the rate of about ten miles per year. At present there are more than 100 miles of macadamized roads In the county. Tbe roads radiate in all directions from the center of Charlotte and extend ten or fifteen miles to the county limits. The roads of this county have become so famous that delegations from many other states have come here to inspect them. Many good roads organizations exist In the, south. Professor J. A. Holmes of the University of North Carolina hat traveled In many states, giving Illustrated lectures on road construction and organizing good roads clubs. Hia campaign baa borne much fruit, and the south can now boast of some of tbe best and most picturesque roads In tbe whole world. IccMdtr For Dnlaac*. In the improvement of earth roads one very Important essential often overlooked la the necessity for drainage to carry off the surplus water before It can soak Into the surface, says Good Itoada Magazine. Good roads can be constructed even In a prairie country, and by the adoption of improved method* Immediate recovery from the effecta of heavy ralna may be Inannwl Tlla H F-fl I r< I n IT ( VPPV (kffuC. tlve, and with even a shallow dressing of crushed stone or gravel on ths ?urface of an earth road wonderful Improvement can be secured. fhoald Laat Pop a(M. There is uo reason in the world why a road should not ?ast for ages If It Ir' built of good material anil kept In proper repair. If this is not done, the moo* v ey spent is more thun wasted. It Is more economical, as a rule, to bring good materials a long distance by rail or water than to employ Inferior one* procured close at band. Serviceable For Country Road*.
