u The new postage is now in force, and let
tors cost but three cents to any part of the u s..
Except California; if prepaid. We hope every
body will not quit their business and 60 to wri-
ting letters.
There is no doubt but that great many
more will be written than ever bafore-there
will be no excuse now for not hearing from your
friends in every part of the country, every week
but sheer laziness.
We expect great many more new subscri-
bers to the Telegraph, will be another result: be-
cause the paper will be carried free of postage
TO every post Office in the county
We expect too, that great many of our sub
scribers will pay up now, because the paper
comes so much cheaper to them.
We'hope our distant subscrlbers, say in Wheat
land, Geneva, WaIworth, and that region, will
sit down and write a letter enclosing bill, and
forward it to rs without delay. We shall be
glad to hear from you, and will run the risk of
Uncle Sans cart. Yours. truly
AN Incident OF the EEurricane---Or who
shall have the Babe.
During that awful night of rain and tempest,
and wind in the town of Somers formerly Pike
in this county, woman lay upon her warm bed,
and to her breast was nestled new and sleep
Ing babe Happy mother and innocent child
Why did tho winds of that night conspire against
the life of that Mother, and the mother of that in
nocent babe?
Hark do you hear that distant roar? See
the bright flash and constant cleaning of the G.
lactric flame! Hear the roll of that bass hun-
der; and the loud patterng of the falling rain
On, on, comes the tempest and storm! The
roof Of the House, and the whrlwind has gone!
That mother exposed to the wind and the rain
OF that terrible night, has taken a cold which set
ties into the chillness Of death. And that limo
cent and helpless babe has no mother in the
world. Thus has one fearful freak of the ele-
mcnts killed mother, and orphaned babe
Sad case in disjointed state of society as pre-
walls now. But, the fathers of the Town must
seek father for the orphan babe. And accor-
dinghy, the little child is wrapped warm and laid
in the arms of the man who is to seek father;
and they drive to the door of man who has
enough ofthis worlds goods and wife: but no
child; gladly he accepts of the proffered babe
and offers TO protect ii, and rear it, and be to it
father and ALL
But as the man who has brought the child
takes up the little germ of heaven and thinks as
he gazes upon its innocent and sinless face, how
like angel, it is pure, and holy, he hates to part
with the precious jewel of future hope and
clasping it to his bosom he refuses to surrender
the babe.
We guess he had no child of his own, or per-
haps acanted another
But now ensued scene for the pencil to draw;
the pen cannot tell of tie anxious desire of the
first named to get possession of the babe, and
the other as unwilling to surrender the orphaned
charge. does the heart good though to feel
that there is SO much Of scfshness for the whole
ofthe race, and SO much bencvolence in the sim
gle breast. Who got the babe we cannot tell
but they each deserve dozen.
We hope when they change their residence,
they will fall among good ncighbors--that their
old age may be pleasant and happy, surrounded
with children and friends, which will swecten
every breath of painting age; tighten every bur
den of declining years and assist in tanning the
departing spirit to a world of bliss.
