RATES ON PosTAGE IN ENGLAND.-A gen
tleman of Boston, now in London, has sent to
a friend the following reply to certain inquiries
respecting Postage. 1t may be serviceable
to our mercantile and literary community, and
is here added:
S'For all internal correspondence, from one
end of the kingdom to the other, the charge of
| single letter, weighing under half an ounce,
is one penny. For all ship letters received
from America the charge is Sd. single, Is 4d
double, &c. For newspapers I'd. each, and
for pamphlets, letter postage, according TO
weight. A letter addressed ts France, need
not be sent TO friend in London, as by an ar
rangement between the two Governments,
ship letter would be forwarded by the General
Office here to France without the payment of
any postage in London; but a letter would not
be forwarded to any other foreign country,
America for instance, until the postage to Lon
don and hence was paid. The postage of a
single letter by the Halifax steamers is Is. and
of a newspaper I'd. The mails for India leave
on the 4th of every month, and the postage is
IS. sgd. for single letter weighing half an
ounce weight The only way to send pamphlets
to this country is by private hand, (and then
they are subject to duty of IS. I'd. per lb.)
provided they appear as part of passengers
luggage, and are not enveloped or addressed;
otherwise they are liable to seizure by custom
house officers, and subject to the post office re-
gulations also.-BoS. C0ur.

The DECLINE F LIFE.-We find the follow
ing in the ''Mountain Decameron," a work less
known than ii deserves to be in this country
There is beautiful melancholy breathing thro
every line of the question, but which mellows,
rather than represses the mind:
"The decline oflife is a sert of Calabrian soil,
ashy well tremulous, and success and fall
alike lose their intense effect under that eter-
nal looking for. He can patiently await critical
insult or injustice, who knows that few or none
survive, OF those for the sake of whose opinion
such an insult would have been distressing. a
proudcr issue of his literary adventure would per
haps not prove a happier one. Total failure IS
perhaps not so painful as the success which comes
too late; when the hearts that hoped with Us,
and for us, so long in vain, in the earth, and
the bitter self-mocl1ng fc1ri bonO rises involun-
tarily from the depth of the empty surviving
heart, in the solitary-even though crowned be-
yond that hearts hope-he feels that it is not
within, that pride turns for qualification, the So
cial mind for bliss.
''To the dead, to the buried bosom-frlend or
wife, the crowned hero is still uncrowned, and
the most popular poet still an obscure rhymer.--

The WIDOWS OF REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.
We see it stated that the term of the act provi-
ding that pension be paid to the surviving Wi
dovs of the soldiers of the Revolution, is about
to expire; and that unless it be renewed, the few
feeble and white-haired old women whose COM
forts for the last three or four years have been
greatly assisted by the liberality of the Govern
ment, will find it an exceedingly dificult task to
obtain the necessaries of life for the remainder
of their days. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
measures will be taken by Congress forthwith,
to continue this trifing pension. a few years
lenger, and these gray-haired beings Of another
generation will have passed to better world.
Their number, even now, is exceedingly Limit
ed, and in the course of short time, scarcely
any will survive. The least the nation can do,
is to brighten and sweeten their last hours by as
many comforts as possible l

THE ORPHAN WANDERERS.

Glide US not, nor call us idle;
True we have no task to do,
But, how gladly would we labor,
Might we only work for you.
Once we had home ofplenty,
Once we knew a fathers care,
Once mothers fond affection
Breathed for US the nightly prayer,
Now we wander, lost, and lonely,
Over many weary mile.
Gloomy night comes gathering round US,
But we find no mothers smile.
Once our name was not the meanest,
Cheerful toll and wholesome fare
Made my father proud and happy,
Soothed my mothers daily care.
Forward then were all to serve us,
Friends were true, and neighboTs kind,
Little did we then believe them
Tickle as the changing wind
Near our dwelling bloomed garden
Rich with fruit, and gay with flowers;
From our window we could listen
To the birds among the bowers.
There were spreading all around us
Streets and houses, wide and new:
Last of all, the ground was purchased
Where this lovely garden grew.
Stately walls then rose beside us,
Windows like some palace gay,
Folding doors that gently opened,
Tempting all who passed to stay.
$50 not near that house, my children,
Oft our father gravely said.
"Tis no place for you to enter,
Want and shame that threshold tread.
Yet he spoke of lofty ceilings,
Gilded lamps, and spacious halls
Often spoke, as if he fingered
All too near these stately walls.
Then there came gloomy winter,
Trade was bad, and wages low,
Dark December rains were falling
Over heaps of melting snow.
One sad evening never, never
Can that evening be forgot;
Something came across our father,
Anger-grief-we knew not what!
But ne sDOke-On, now QnklnOiy.
And our gentle mother too
Answered with unwonted sharpness,
Till fearful conflict grew.
All IRE words they said were idle;
But they answered louder-higher-
And the tone-the look-the manner
Made them seem like words of fire.
Last of all my father left US,
Fiercely finging back the door;
While my mother, bToken-hearted,
Wept, till she could weep no more.
Morning came; we knew not whether
He returned at dead of night;
But we saw him strangely altered,
Oh, ii was fearful sight!
From that time his mind seemed wander
ing,
And his manly look was gone;
Sometimes kind and sometimes fretfqL
Constant to one vice alone.
Constant TO one guilty pleasure,
When those fatal doors were passed,
Shame was vanquished, conscience fol
lowed,
All Jul StLiiOt 70 hcut at tdSls
Long my mother bore in silence
Loss ofplenty, loss of fame;
Though sometimes the gossip's SANDER
Hinged her faded cheek with shame.
Yet, since that Inflated evening,
From her lip we never heard
Tone of voice that seemed like anger,
Or the least reproachful word.
Gentle, patient, meek, ard lowly,
All her duties still were done;
Though the Joy that used to cheer them
From her sinking soul was gone.
Little did we know that sorrow
Had such deep and deadly power,
Little dreamed her strength was falling
Failing faster, hour by hour;
Till one awful moment told us
All the fatal truth at last;
To her restless bed she called us,
Ger my brow her fingers passed.

WASTE OF HEAT.-h writer in the New
York Journal of Commerce states that black or
dark lambs absorb heat, instead of rejecting it.
The use Of iron backs to fireplaces in which
wood is burned, has the effect to increase the
consumption of fuel without any adyantage.-
When the iron becomes het, it will burn tne
wood, and when the fire is extinguished tne h1 1
