[ClRCULAR TO POSTMASTERS.1
PosT-OFFIcE DEPARTMENT, }
9Th May, 1926.

Sir :-ComPlaints have been lately
made Of the delay and occasional loss
ofnewspapers sent BY mail. These may
be attributable in some cases, 10 the
careless manner 10 which papers are
prepared for the mail; out, in others,
they arc believed to arise from the mat
iention or design OF Postmasters. 1t is
feared tina, some Of them are SO forget
iul Of their duty as to consult the conve-
nience Of contractors on horse routes,
by retaining part of the packets, when
the mail is 60 large that the usual num-
Der Of bags canust contain it. Others,
j, is said being more culpable, retain
Newspapers to read them. A mement's
reflection must convince every Pos'mas-
ter guilty Of the charges, tina, he tribes
with the obligation imposed by his sath
Of effice, and should be held responsible
for such gross violation Of duty.
Publishers Of newspapers, and their
subscribers, as we'll IS Postm astsrs, are
requested to report 10 the Department
oil irregularities in the reception of pa
pers forwarded in tho mail =, and an as
surance is given, that where the irregu.
larity shall be proved 10 DO produced
by the negligence or design Of any con.
tractor, postmaster, or clerk, tho most
efectual steps shall be taken to prevent
its recurrence.
1t is often Of as much importance to
the public, and always as essential to the
reputation Of the mail, that new spapers
should be As speedily and Is safely trans.
United as letters and an individual whe
10 inatsentive to the former, is unworthy
81 being trusted with the latter. He is
. strsnyer to that high incentive to duty,
which arises from an ardent desire to
elevate the character Of the Department,
BY giving the utmos. efficiency to i.s ops-
ratisns.
In the Post.Office Law, it is provided
that, "if any person employed in any
department Of the Post-O ffice, shall i'm.
properly de.ain. delay, smbezxls, or de-
stroy, any newspaper, or shall permit
any siher person 10 do the like, Or shall
open, or permit any other person to open,
any mail o. packet Of newspapers, or
shall embezzIe or destroy the same, no,
being directed t. such person, or not be-
ing authorized 10 receive or spen the
same. such offender shall, on conviction
thereof, pay . sum not exceeding twenty
dollars fer every such offence"
A. oil Offices where newspapers are
mailed, Psstmastsrs should see that they
ere properly put up and directed. None
should be forwarded in the mail, excep,
euch - are secured BY substantial en-.
veIspe, and have legibls superscrip.
Zion. Ifthis iojanction were strictly OBJ
servsd. the number Of failures would b
greatly reduced.
Under no circumstances should any
part Of tho msil b. lsff on The route,
short Of 10 destination. This msy a.
way be avoided BY Postmaster ct the
important eficss keeping enc Of more
Oxtes nail bsgs.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

From notice in one of the English Ma
gazines of a work, which if well executed,
must from its nature be very interesting we
extract the following beautiful written and,
when her fate is remembered, affecting dia-
logue between lady Jane Gray and Roger
Ascham
The work of which this is an extract, is
called Imaginary conversations between
literary men and statesmen" by Walter Sa-
wage Landor.
".Ascham. " Thon art going my dear young
lady, into most awful state; thou are pas
SING into matrimony and great wealth. God
hath willed it so; submit in thanktulness.
"Thy affections are rightly placed and
we'll distributed. Love is secondary pas
sion in those who love most, primary in
those who love lcast.-He who is inspired
by it in great degree, is inspired by honor
in greater; it never reaches its plenltude
of growth and perfection, but in the most eX-
alted minds-Alas Alas
"Jane What aileth my virtuous Ascham'
What IS amisss Why do treube!
".AScham. l see perils on perlls which
thou dost not see, although thou art wiser
than thy poor old master. And it is not be-
cause love hath blinded thee, for that sur
passeth his supposed omnipotence, but 1t is
leaned affectonately upon good, hath felt
| and knowing nothing OF evil.
81 once pursuaded thee to reflect much;
| let me now pursuade thee to avoid the habl-
tude of reflection, to lay aside books, and to
gaze cal efully and stedfastly on what is un-
der and before thee.
"Jane. have we'll bethought me OF all
nv duties. O how extensive they are
What goodly and fair inheritance! But tell
me. woultst thou command me never more
to read Cicero and Epictetus and Polyblus
the others do resign unto thee; they are
good for the arbor and for the gravel walk;
but leave unto me, beseech thee, my TREND
and father, leave unto me. for my tireside
and for my pillow, truth, eioquence, courage
constancy.
"Ascham. Read them on thy marriage,

spotless undrooping lily, they have fenced
thee right we'll !--These are the bright anf
blessed creatures, o Jane, whom God one

they are fosterea by the lucrative, though
dangerous profession there pursued. Here,
