The RIGHT TO BREAK LErTERs-In the Martha

quest IN arose as to whether an officer had right

said that, eff any person opened letter under any
pretence whatever, he was liable to be prosecuted
under the post Office laws" If suspicious letters
came 1t would be better for the postmaster to send
to the department; they had no authority to open
them, neither had the marshal, police, nor that
court"

LovE.-The brightest part of love is It's con-
idence. 1t is that perfect, that unhesitating

feeling that perfect community of the hearts

two beings together more closely. II ore dearly

first, how can fifty or hundred wine-glasses
be filled from one quart bottle? and, second.
ly, how can six or eight different liquids be
poured from the same bottle? The first won
der is explained thus the glasses are so
small, and have such thick bottoms, that full
quart bottle will hold enough 70 fill eighty of
them. The second marvel is managed in the
following manner tho glasses are arranged
on tray in a particular manner by the conju-
rer, before the entertainment begins. The
bottle is filled with weak mixture of spirits
of wine, water and sugar. At the bottom of
each glass is drop or two Of some fayoring
essence, as noyau, essence of brandy, port
| wine, ETC., and the operator is thus enabled to
concoct tolerable resemblance of any fluid
that is likely to be called for, and to supply p
hundred persons or more with half sip of
their favorite beverage, from the "incxhausti-

A Story Of Leap Year.

Sam Smith sat at home on New Yearsday
in dishabille. His beard was unshayen, his
hair uncombed, his boots unblacked, and he
was eaning back in a picturesque attitude,
with his heels against the mantle piece smok-
ing acigar. Sam thought to himself that
it was leap year, how glorious it would be if
the ladies pop the question in accordance
with their ancient privileges.
As he sat watching the smoke which so
gracefully curled, his fancy glowed with the
idea, how delightful it would be to have the
dear creatures fondling on him, and with
their tender glances endeayouring to do the
agreeable.
AS he medtated, his heart softened, and
he began to feel squeamish sensibility diff
fuse over bis feelings, and he thought he
would faint with propriety the first time
lady should squeeze his hand.
Rap, rap, rap sounded at the door. Sam
peeped through the Venetian blinds.
Mercy exclaimedhe, if there isn't Miss
Jones, and | all dishabile, and looking like
a fright, good gracious, must 60 right
away and fix myself
As he left the room Miss Jones entered,
and with a composed air intimatcd that she
would wait. Miss Jones was firm believer
in woman's rights, and now that the season
was propitious, and she determined to take
advantage thereof and do little courting
on her own hook. 1t wasone Of woman's
privileges. which had been usurped by the
tyrant man, and determined to assert her
rights in spite of the hollsSJ formalities Of
the false system of society.
Dearest, how beautiful you look accom-
panying her words with a glance of undis-
guised admiration.
Spare the bushes of modest young man.
said Sam, applying the cambrick to his face
to hide his confusion.
Nay, my love, why so coy 2 said Susan;
turn not away those lovely eyes dark as jet
but sparkling as the diamond. Listen TO
the VOWS Of fond affection. Here let US rest,
said she, drawing him to the sofa, here with
my arm around thee, will protest my affec-
ton
Ieave, oh leave me, murmured Sam,
think of my youth and inexperience, spare
my palpitating heart
Leave thee, said Susan, pressing him c,o-
ser to her, never; until the story Of restless
nights, Of unquiet days, of aspirations, fond
emotions, aud undyins love is laid before
thee. Know that for years | have nursed
for thee a secret passion. Need | tell how
each manly beauty moved me how wor-
SHIPPED like sun flower in the lurid light Of
those scarlet tresses how my fond heart
was entrapped in the mcshes of those mag
nifcent whiskers; how would yield to tho
government of that imperial; thy manner
so modest, so delicate, enchanted me-ioy
to me-for thy joy was my JOY. My heart
is forever thine, take it, bnt first let me snatch
one kiss from those ruby lips
The overwhelming feelings of the delicate
youth were 50 strong he tainted from excess
Of joy. Meanwhile the cnamored lady hung
fondly over him, and slowly the eyes Of
Samuel Smith opened; he gazed wildly about
him then meeting the ardent gaze of the lover,
he blushed deeply, and from behind his hand

Return with me to Il, in Kentucky
now prosperous and beautiful town. In
stead Of the magnificent oak openings, whose
tall tree-spires touched heaven, apparently,
there are now long, shady streets, lined with
smart houses, painted red, and plentifully Or
namented with vines and shrubbery. The
forest trees, hewn down and polished and
bravely knit together by the sinewy arm of
labor, shelter bands of living household crea-
lures, besides mutely doing homage to the
Creator in the form Of commodious if not
elegant church, with a neat little tower that
some call the belfry, albeit there is no bell
there at present.
In this church the venerable Father Locke
has oficiated for some few years.
Quite near, on the main street, is build
ing, somewhat more classicin its proportions
than those Immediately around it, with three
slender pillars before the door, delicate
balcony running along its front, while at the
small windows hang the cleanest muslins,
and bright, massive knocker ornaments

Here was the residence Of Lawyer Stanton
Prosperous in business, he was wealthy
man; devoted to the interests of the com
munity, he was popular man. Ills gar
den was the most thrifty in town; his room;
were furnished with TASTE even luxuriance
Six years had left light traces of care, little
shades of sorrow on his brow; and vet hi
face bespoke anything but peaceful, con
tented mind. His wife, for the last twelve
months, had risen from her bed, and seem
ed slowly regaining her health. For nov
the town boasted Of skillful young doctor
under whose care gentle Grace was dali,
[ improving.
With this mending Of affairs, Stanton be
gan to recover his elasticity of spirits, ans
but for the thought of the pale, shadow,
Leila he would have been completely hap

The child was grieved at her mothers emo

Then he went away-far away to Eng
