THE New POSTAGE BrLL-The project for

The New POSTAGE BILL.-The project for
changing the rates of postage under this
Government, reported by Mr.. Olds few
days since from the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, contemplates
making it obligatory to prepay all letters
sent IN the mails, and proposes also to fix
the rates OF postage at three cents per half
ounce for all distances up to three thousand
miles. aud six cents for all greater distances.
We learn, on inquiry, that about 900 bush
els of dead letters are received at the Post
Office Department each quarter, three-fourths
OF which are of course unpaid We trust
that the prepayment feature of this bill may
become law. 1t will vastly reduce the
labors of Post Office employees everywhere
while it cannot fail greatly to tend to sup
ply the very large deficiency in the revenue
of the Post Office Department, so far result
ing from the last reduction of postage rates

FACTS IN HUMAN LIBE.-The number of
languages spoken in the world amounts TO
s064-5s6 in Europe, SOC in Asia, 276 in
African, and 1916 in America The inhab.
ltants of the globe profess more than 1000
different religions. The number of men is
about equal to the number of women. The
average ofhuman life is about % years One
quarter die previous to the age of seven years;
onc-half before reaching seventeen: and those
who pass this age enjoy felicity which is
refused to one.ha'f the human species. To
every 1000 persons only one reaches 100 years
of life; the every 100 only 6 reach the are Of
IS; and not more than one in 500 lives to 80
years of age. There are on Garth 100000
600 inhabitants; and of these 1913, 1888 1885,
die every year; 81 1874 every day; $3.50 every
hour, and 60 every minute, or one every
second. These losses arc about balanced by
all equal number of births. The married are
longer lived than the single, and above al,
those who observe sober and Industrious
conduct. Tall men live longer than short ones.
Women have more chances of life in their
favor, previous to being Fifty years of age
than men have, but fewer afterwards. The
number of marriages is in proportion Of IS to
every 1000 individuals. Marriages are moro.
frequent after the cquinoxcs; that is during
the months of June and December Those
born in the spring are generally more robust
than others. Births and deaths are more fire.

men capable of bearing arms is calculated at
one-fourth of the population. Quar-

The days of my cicrkship were ended: my
examination was over; was admitted; wrote
myself Nehemiah Hubs, Attorney" put up
my new bright little sign, and i'll my native
village began my professional career No,
did not either; am mistaken, intcmlcl to
pursue tie honorable practice of the noble
profession TO which had dclicatedmy talents
and learning, in the place Of my birth, but

his own country" ] believe if | had rcmain-
ed in the village of Green Briar till my head
was white, they would have thought Of me as
nothing but boy, and would have to trust
me. Even after my sign was put up, nobody
called NE Mr.. Hnbbs. was Still "Ne," with
old and young, and Ne" ] would have been
to this day, had remained in Green Briar.
Only one case claimed my attention during
the three months of my patient continuance
in Green Briar, after being admitted to the
bar and that was the case Of an uljuStly inn
pounded pig "fcloniolsly abstractcl, your
honor, from the small but secure spot which
my client had trustingly deposited him in,
lnalciously driven to the public enclosure
called pound, for the vile purpose, doubtless,
of compelling my client, in his provcrty and
dcstitution, to pay the enormous fec which has
been demanded of him, III order to cXtricatc
the animal from his unpleasant position, and
restore him to the bosom of his family"
BY this meant the clients family, the pig
having of his own it was a figure of speech
undoubtedly, the family not inhabiting an
Irish cabin, but still it rounded off the period,
and sounded well to me, as repeat ed over
and again my maiden speech, pacing up and
down the floor of my little Office. In this, my
first case, was successful so far as to rescue
tie impoundcd animal and save my client
from tie payment of an unjust demands; but
it brought no silver to my pocket, neither, to
my surprise, did it seem to bring honor to my
name. The eloquence of my speech did not
form the theme, as fondly hoped it would,
paragraphs in the village papers, or of dis
cussion at the corners of the streets, neither
did it bring to my Office the rush of clients,
for which each day vainly made ready. 1t
was plain that should never rise to distinc-
ton in Green Briar, and so came to the sud-
den determination to remove from that pleas
ant spot, and settle in some great city where
nobody knew or had ever heard of me; where
above all, there was not soul TO call me
"Ne."

long been quiet and apparently free from dts
ease, began to fiutter and palpitate again, but
observed IL was only when heard the lit
tie woman's tap DIT nj door, or felt her soft
fingers on my wrist. In short, as she had
driven the disease out of my heart, that little
woman herself had walked into it. | could
no ionger blind myself to the fact; and when
she one day told me that / was now Off the
sick list, and out Of her hands, determined
that she should not so easily get out of mine.
80 told her that as she had given case to
my heart in one respect, she must not leave
till sHe had done so in another, or should be
worse onthan was before. The little woman
looked perplexed.
Then stated my case, and explained my
symptofs II second time, showing her the
distressed state of my heart, and she alone
could cure it. The former disease she had
removed by an occasional visit, the latter
could only be cured by her promising to come
and take up her abode with me as a resident
physician She understood the now, and by
the way she pressed her hand on her own
little flnttcring heart, you would have thought
the disease was contagious; and verify think
it was. So now VIC are determined to cure
each other, and next we are both to apply to
clergyman, who is to form between us a life
partnership, as lawyer and physician.
But one thing troubles me, of which had
not thought till now; that it is necessary to
have our cards engraved. Married people
are usually 'sMr. and Mrs. so-and-so," or
''Mr. such an one and Lady," but will any one
please to be so kind us to tell me how and
my little wife are to be designated. Will it
be ''Mr. and DR.. IIubbs,'' or ssMr. and Mrs.
Hubbs, NJ. d." or as the ladies are going
ahead SO fast in these days of Woman's
Rights, will sink into lesser insigniticsnce,
and shall we be cdr. Todd and gentle n,an, ;"
or must drop the name of IIubbs altogether,
and become II Todd too! Somebody please to
tell me how to HAYS those cards engraved
