Maybe she won't be mode sure of, aaiil Mr. Bangs, to whom this conversation was somewhat alarming. Ob, yea, she will, answered Selina. "Tv talked with her about matters, and I know she'd ha'vdTi'o objections. Good gracious, Selina! exclaimed Mr. Bangs, perspiring all over, you dont mean to say that you've actually talked with this woman about my mar. rying her, do you? Why, she'll expect me to do it, if you have, and, if I don't, ahe'U be bavlug me up for breach of promise."

But what those something were, he ever knew. When he came to, sufficiently to realise what waa going on about him. he waa alone with the widow. She g woman, he had to wasn't a admit. In fact, he rather liked her looks. Well, the result was, he fell In love with Mrs. Smith. He generally fell in love with the women Selina selected aa proper subjects for matrimony. But Ibis time be felt so completely done for that be was sore all bia capabilities for falling in love were exhausted. He would never lore again. At the end of a week he felt that his love had reached Its climax, for he picked up a rose she bad dropped, and alept with It under his pillow. You poor, old fool. he said to himself the next morning, ns he stood the glass. To think that youve got spoony enough for that. I'm glad no one knows it. Rnt the widow Is very attractive, and I don't see as I'm to lilame. I I can't help it. One day Selina and Mrs. Smith went nut shopping after lea.

That tbe good roads movement la popular and hua tome to stay la evidenced by the attention now given to good roads engineering In our eduea tlonal Institutions.

I. This medium ia to call tbe attention of any young men who are thinking of doing engineering work to the advantages of including education along good roads lines. This Inst addition la liadly needed and will be of immense value lu the Southern States of the Union where less attention, perhaps, has been given to this than in those further north. That it seriously concerns us all la evident without any argument, and the action of President Butterfield, of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture, ia to be highly commended. In addition to this we learn that In the Iowa State College at Ames. Iowa, the Iowa highway commission has established a road tclmol in which every piece of the work, including class work, work, field work, modern road machinery. cement in highway improvements, etc., is taught. Plan arc lieiug made to build model sections of earth. gravel and macadam roads, and practical men have been engaged for the schools, and It is thought that tbe results will be very flattering.
