TIGHT DRESSING.

One of the most striking folies of
mankind, in the present day, is the
stupid homage they pay to fashion,
In one part Of the world, a bandage is
bound about the feet Of small children,
to preserve their delicacy BY stopping
the, ,r growth ; in an other. two boards
are placed on the head Of infancy, one
behind and another before, and tied
together, to fatten, elongate and beau
tify the Uranium. In our own country,
the human form fivine, is distorted by
the application Of spints aud baudages,
as though the form Of the body could
be improved by being confined in the
surgeons apparatus for dressing broken
bones. s
Stomach boards stifen the body and
destroy the easy and graceful motion
for which il is by nature 90 admirably
fitted they moreover tend msch to
the displacement Of parts which in
their natural situation and form add
greatly TO female beauty. Tight lac
ing, with or without stomach boards,
prevents the free motion Of the ribs

CIRCULAR TO POST. MASTERS.
Post Office Department,
oZfh Nav, 1906

2ltn May, 1910. 49,
Sir: Complaints have been lately
made Of the delay and sometimes loss
of Newspapers sent by mail. These
may be attributable in some cases. to
the careless manner in which papers
are prepared for the mail, but in 9th
ers. they are believed to arise from
the inattention or design Of Post-lnas-
ters. 1t is feared that some Of them
are so forgetful. Of their duty, as to
consult the convenience of contract
ors OH horse routs, by retaining a part
Of the packets when the mail is SO
large that the usual number OF bags
cannot contain it. Others, it i; said.
being more cuipable. retain newsPa'
pers to read them. A moments. re-
flection must convince every Post-
Master, guilty of either Of these char
ges, that he tribes with the obligation
imposed by his cath Of office, and
should be held responsible for such
gros s. violation of duty. go.
Publishers of newspapers and their
subscribers, as we'll as Post Masters,
are requested to report to the Depart
ment, all Irregularities in the receipt
ion Of papers forwarded in the mail,
and an assurance is given. that where
the irregularity shall be proved to
have been produced BY the negligence
or design of any contractor, Post mas
ter, or clerk. the most eHecrual steps
shall be taken Ito prevent its recur-
renee.

to the public, and always as essential
to the reputation Of the mail, that
newspapers should be as speedily and
safely transmitted, as Letters and

ans the interest OF her SituattOn.--
Distinguished by the captivatioh o.
her mind and person, she had been
the idol Of the court, and whcreyel
she moved she was cnvironed by ad-
mirers she was now surrounded by
exccutioners, upon whom she gSzed
with establishment. and seemed to
doubt ttet she Was the object of smell
cruel preparations. One Of the exc
cntioners pulled of cloak which
covered her b,som, as which. like
Charlotte Cordec,. as she was pre-.
pairing for the suilIotine, her nodes
'ty took alarm. she started back,
turned pale. and burst into tears.--
Her clothes were soon stripped off
her back, before the eager eyes of
an immense concourse Of people
profoundly silent. One Of tho exc
cutioncrs then took her by both
hands, and turning half round. raised
her on his back, inclining forwards
lifting her a little from the ground !;
npon (which the other executioner
laid hold other delicate limbs with
his rough hands, adjusted her on the
back of his coadjutor. and placed her
in the properest posture for receiving
the punishment. He then. retrcated
a few steps. measuring the proper
distance with steady oye, and leap
ing backwards, gave sucl, blow as
to carry away slip of skin from
the neck 10 the centre of her back |;
then striking his feet against the
ground. he made second bloY par
allel to the former. and in few min
utes all the skin Of the back was cut
away in small slips, most " which
remained hanging to her dress her
tongue was cut out Immediately af.
ter, and she was banished to Siber-
ria. 1t is impossible to redct upon
this savage scene, in which the en-
press betrayed all the qualities Of a
ruthless barbarian, without equal
horror and Indignation. History
represents Elizabeth as the most
indolcnt, volamptuous, and sensual
Of her portraits fully confirm. An
anecdote is related of her, which
proves, any. thing further were want
lug. that she was a total stranger to
feeling. One of her ladies in, wait

and laboured under a great weak
ness in her limbs. one day nearly

press. from the fatigue Of standing.

inquired the cause, and upon being
Informed. she cody repliod (" Oh.
is it so? then lean, a little against
those drawers, and will make be-
lieve that l do not see you."

rises from an ardent desire TO elevat,
the character Of the Department, by
giving the utmost efficacy to its oper
ations. =,

that" if any person. employed in any
Department Of the Post Office, shall
improperly detain, delay. embezzle,
or destroy, any newspaper, or snail
permit any, other person to do the
like, or shall open, or permit any 9TH
er person to open, any mail, or racket
Of newspapers, or shall embezzle or

offender shall, on conviction thereof,
pay sum not exceeding twenty dol

At all Offices where newspapers are
mailed. Post Masters should see that
they arc properly put and directed.
None should be forwarded in the mail,
except such as are secured by a. sub
stantial envelope, and have a legible
superscription.
Ii this injunction were strictly OBJ

RURAL 1AsTE.-I regard the man

jects of rural taste, or who even plants
a single shaLe tree by, the road-siIe as
public benefactor not merely be-
canse he adds something to the gen.
eral beauty Of the country. and to the
pleasure Of those who travel through
it, but because, also, he. contributes
something to the refinement Of the'gen-
raj mind ;-he improves the taste, es-
pecially Of his own family and neigh
bourhoOd. There is q, power in scenes
Of rural beauty, tn affect our social
and moral feelings. A fondness for
these scenes is seldom found with
coarseness of sentiment and r1deness
Of manners. One may Judge. with
