best they have given 10 the world. They, with
other old contributors, will continue 10 enrich

A GLORIOUS IDEA.-Wilis says he
has recently made the discovery that
when wine was prohibited by law TO
the women of ancient Rome, male re-
latives had the right Of ascertaining, by
tasting the lips Of their sisters and
cousins, whether the forbidden liquor
had passed in. The investigations of
this lip police, it is said, were push
ed with rigor and vigilance highly
creditable to the zeal of the republic,
and for time intemperance was fairly
kissed away lie is Of The opinion
that by restoring the much abused and
perverted kiss 10 its original mission,
and making it the sacred apostle Of in
quiry that il vas designed for, The tem-
perance committees would have more
"active MEMBERS" and the cause would
assuredly grow on public favor.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN LIFE-PRE-
sERvER.-We have mentioned the in
vention Of chair for steamboats, which,
if thrown overheard, will support sew
eral persons in the water In Eng
land. we arc told, they have invented a
marine safety portmanteau Of the size
OF a small trunk, which is impenetrable
10 water, and will! contain six grown
people. Macintosh cloaks are also
made TO act as life preservers. They
are double, and when inflated will
easily sustain person in the water.
What next, we wonder.

Corporal Wcklffe After just complaint of
the extortionate impositions upon periodicals by
the "Dogberries' Of the country post offices,
Mr.. Willis proceeds as follows:
"There is another point about which we would
inquire of the committee now engaged on the
revised postage-laws. Why should literary pa
pers of The same loeight be more taxed than nesos-
papers? Is the circulation of moral and refining
influences twice as taxable as the circulation OF
scandal and politics, rapes and murders, amuse-
ments and advertisements Surely the intel-
gence that enlightens the community is as much
contained in the weeklys and monthlys az in the
daily papers. Yet in the bill now before the
House, the former are taxed at t,Oice the price of
the latter! This, we suppose, is some of Mr..
Wickliffe's handiwork.
"We give up the Postmaster General-leave
him to be bewildered with the techncalities of
his office-careful of the husks while the grain
Sits away from him. We make an appeal to the
fountain of his official power-public opinion
Let this matter be understood, and let every petty
postmaster who plays the tyrant or misuses his
authority, be memorialized out of office The
government ought not to be one penny richer for
carrying the mails. No revenue should be de-
rivable to the treasury from the carrying Of intel
ligence. The cheapest postage rate possible
should be set by law, and the law should be
bent to suit circumstances in all cases where
the cost of carrying is not thereby made greater.
Public opinion should so instruct the public ser.
want The Postmaster General, and the lesser
postmasters who obey his dictum, should be made
TO feel that the least pretence for extortion OPP
preston on their part, or any want of accommo-
dation and liberal conduct, would be promptly
punished. We write freely on this subject, for
our enterprise is at stake, and we speak some
what, too, for other interests than our own. To
offer periodical for three dollars year that is
made to cost ten by the oppression of postmasters,
is to advertise misnomer. Let the Wickliffe
dynasty prevail, and we shall be obliged to leave
off cover, plate, and stitching, and change the
Mirror to simple printed sheet, without protec-
ton from wear and tear, and without embeish-
ment or capabilty Of binding and preservation"

and that by yeas and nays quite another.
