WATER!

Where does the water spring, gladstone and
bright?
Here in the leafy grove,
Bubbling in life aud love;
Born Of the sunlight. up leaping to light,
Walked in its pcbbly bed.
When the still shadows fled,
Gushing. o'erGowing, down tumbling for flight.
Where does the water flow? where glides the
rillt
Now near the forest shade,
Then in the grassy glade,
Dancing as freely as child Of the HILL
Bright cascades leaping,
Silver brooks creeping,
Wearing the mountains and turning the mill.
Where does the water dwell, powerful and
grand?
Here where the ocean foam
Breaks in its rock ribbed home,
Flashing, land ashing. up-bounding. wrath
spanned
Anon sweetly sleeping,
Soft dimples oercreeping,
Like babe on its mothers breast, soothed by
her hand.
Where smiles the dew-drop the night
WOO?
Where the young now'rets dip,
Leaving each perfumed lip
Close in the roses heart loving and true,
Poised on an emerald shaft,
Where never sunbeam laughed,
Deep in the dinglc, the beautiful dew.
Where glows the watcr-plcdge, given of old?
IT'S dropped down from Gods throne,
Where the shower is gone,
A chain of pure gems linked with purple and
gold;
In Eden hues blushing.
With infinite gushing,
A line from the Book of Life, its lore half I'M
told.
The bright bow of promise, the signet of power,
%. The crown of the sky,
The pathway on high,
Whence the angels bend to us, when darksome
clouds lower
Breathing silently,
Kindly and truthfulIy-
Oh! their wings for shield, in the wreath

Then we'll love the threads lacing our beautiful
world,
Tanging the sun beams,
Laughing in glorious CLEANS:
The wave!ets all dimpled, and spray trcsses

The tear on the flowers breast,
The gem in the ocean crest,
And the ladder of angels by rain drops i'm

From the N. Y. Evening Post
The Post once Report.

We give to-day the whole of the heavy re-
port OF the Postmaster General, who has the
merit among his colleagues of taking more room
than any of them, to say less. Our readers
who may not be disposed to take the trouble
." ana .s@a'ss IT, I1ss iss;!."s: N Il;
Ii appears from the report, that at the close
of the fiscal year ending on the 30th day OF
June last, there were in operation within the
United States, 6,l7O mail routes; there aggre-
gate length was 196, 290 miles; and 5,54l con-
tractors We're employed thereon.
The annual transportation of the mails of
those routes was 81, 272, 252 miles; the annual
cost thereof J, 42l ,754 dollars; being about six
cents four mills per mile.
| OF these 53,272 ,255 miles of annual trans.
portation, s,56S,707 miles are required to be
performed upon railroads, at a cost of 9S5, Ol9
dollars; being about eleven cents five mills per
mile; !, 45f ,9S2 miles in steamboats,, at a cost
434,s93 dollars; being about eight cents three
mills per mile; 10, 1876, SIS miles in coaches. at
cost of ,O47 ,l59 dollars; being about five
cents three mills per mile and 10 ,52l ,975 miles
in modes not specified. at cost of 934, 6s3 dol
lars; being about four cents eight mills per
mile.
The number of postmasters appointed dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1851, is $3.50.
The gross receipts of the Department for the
year have been 6,7s6493 dollars 90 cents
This is an increase of 999 ,OO6 dollars Al cents,
over the revenues of last year.
The receipts from hostages, American and
foreign, for the last fiscal year, exceeded those
the preceding year S9O9, 223 IS, being an in
crease of about l6. per cent.
If the balances accruing to the British post
Office during both years are excluded (as they
must be, to show the true increase of our own
Postages,) the increase will be 1897 ,6lO 70 or
more than IS 65- l00ths per cent
Excluding these balances, the receipts of the
first three quarters of the year exceeded those
of the corresponding quarters of the preceding
year about 2o8 per cent. but the hostages for
the last quarter fell off, and exceeded those of
the corresponding quarter of the preceding year
only about "a per cent; so that the increase for
the year was only about Is 65-l0Oth per cent i,
as before stated.
The reduction during the last quarter of the
fiscal year is mostly attributable to its near APP
proach to the period when the rates of postage
prescribed by the act of the Sd March la were
to go into operation, and the consequent ~de-
lay in correspondence until it could be carried
on at a cheaper rate.
The expenditures during the year have been
$6,27s, 4Ol So.
After presenting his statistics, Mr.. Hall goes
intoa long history of the Post Office for the last
fifty years. He also gives an account of the |
action of the department in regard to the mail
steamers.

VERY family should be in possession of

wherein success is certain in cultivating bees,
and obtaining rich reward of honey for a little
trouble, Over 10000 bee culturists have them
now IN use, and every one that has adhered to
the directions which accompany the hive, never
have Jailed OF success; the hive can be placed
IN small yards in towns and even be placed in
the windows of houses and the bees can work
just as well as if they were in an open field,
the alternating principles of these hives are
SUCH that honey can be taken away without
disturbing the bees, The young swarm can be
taken away with their nursing bees and placed
IN the centre of new hives which prevents that
much dreaded trouble of swarming in the old
way; swarms can be wintered ON or lbs of
honey as well as 80 or ~ lbs of honey in the old
way. The Bee-moth ard other insects are pre-
vented from disturbing the swarms, the exami-
nation of these hives at once will convince any
man OF experience in the culture of bees, that
they are the very ones that have been needed
Tor years, as they work with the nature of the
bee.
