SPRING.
BY c. JILLsoN.

NJ - JlLlHtNs
The balmy breath Of Spring again
Is whispering softly round my brow,
And all tho shadows of the past
Arc fading from my vision now.
The ivied tower; the ruined wall;
The castles turrets. old and gray;
The lofty spire and rounded dome,
Where trembling sunbeams dance and play
And seem to smile with life and light
And DER the earth their radiance ding,
Since winter has been warned to foe
The grand approach Of gentle Spring.
The earth now dons fairer hue
The stars CLEAN brighter from on high;
The moon a nobler aspect wears,
And seems the ruler of the sky.
Each shrub and plant, each forest tree,
Each bird each beast, and even man.
Feels proud to welcome Springs return
And hail the hour its life began.
Der sunny Wales and sloping hills
A lowery carpet now is spread,
And merry streamlets sing their lays
In rapture Ger the recent dead.
Yes, Winter sleeps within the tomb,
Where ages Of the past repose
Its chilly breath is felt no more;
No more are seen its drifting SHOWS.
The calmer hours Of Spring have come,
Most glorious season of'the year
Far brighter than the autumn time
When all is lonely, sad, and drear.
But Winter cannot well complain
That Spring usurps unlicensed power;
Since on its grave, at each return,
Spring plants a never-fading flower.

IMPORTANT TO PosTMAsTERs AND OTHERS

We are requested to call attention to the fol.
lowing regulations in regard to postage on let.
ters to foreign countries:
In the mail to Great Britain the single rate
OF postage is "a cents, prepayment optional
On either q letter or packet of any weight the
lchofs postage or none at oil should be prepaid
Ii anything less than the whole is pre-. paid, no
account is taken of it and il is entirely lost 70
the sender. The British Post Office declines to
change this rule, except ON conditions consid.
cred rIinsE1missibe -
In the Prussian closed mail to Germany 80
cents is the single rate, prepayment optional.
This pays from any part of the United States
to any part Of the German Austrian Postal
Union. A pre- payment of any sum less than
the regular rate Of 30 cents is not recognised,
and is, Of course, lost to the sender note OF
fractions Of the rate couldsnot be taken with
out seriously complicating the accounts, besides
causing much additional labor and trouble at
the exchange Offices. But, contrary to the prac-
tice under the United States and British Postal
Convention, in the Prussian mail every full rate
of 80 cents is credited, whether the whole post
age on letter or packet is prepaid or not
having no balance due to be collected at the
office of delivery.
BY the Bremen mall the rule il the same a.
under the Prussian arrangement. The single
rate to Bremen is 10 cents, to 0ldenburg H.
to Hamburg Is, to Altoona and Hanover 81, and
to any other place in Germany % cents, pre-.
payment optional. In either case prepay.
ment Of any fraction of the full rate goes for
nothing
The rule for rating letters to all foreign
countries Except the British North American
proyincesl is to charge one rate for half an
ounce or under, two rates il the weight is over
one-half and not exceeding an ounce; four rates
it over one and not exceeding two ounces; siI
rates it over two and not exceeding three
ounces; and 20 on, charging two rates for eve.
ry ounce or Irrational part Of an ounce over the
first ounce. As this rule differs from that fol
lowed in respect to domestic letters, whore each
half ounce or fraction of half ounce count
a. one rate only, postmasters who are not care
iul to observe this difference are liable to com
init mistakes.
