~ i.NING STAR,
THE AGED PASTOR.

He stands in the desk, that grave old man, 80 80
With an eye ill bright, though his cheek is wan,
And his long white locks are backward rolled
From hi noble brow of classic mould,
And his form, though bent by weight OF years,
Somewhat of It's primal beauty wears.
He opens the page of the Sacred Word
Not a whisper, nor low nor lDHd is heard;
Even Folly assumes a serious look,
As he rcadeih the words Of the Holy Book:
And the thOught!ess and gay grow rev'rent there,
As lie opens his lips in fervent prayer.
He stands as the grave old prophet stood,
PrOclaIInlng Oh q Truth and the living God
Pouring reprUOf on the ears of zen
Whose hearts are al ease In their folly and sin:
NIh challenge Of guilt still unfnrGiven
To the soul untitled, unmeet for Heaven.
q, who can but honor that good old man
As ne neareih his three score wears and ten
w no haih made ii the work of his life to bless
Our world IN its wo and wickedness;
sui grIdIng the few which were wont to stray
In the paths Of sin, to the narrow way.
With kindly heart, through the Iapsng year,
lie hath shared your Joy he hath wiped your tears
lie hath bound the wealth on the brow of the Bride
lie hath stood by the couch when loved ones died
Pointing the soul 10 81 TiOus Heaven,
As the ties which bound II to the earth were riyen
Methinks you'll weep another day,
WI hen the good old man has passed away:
When the last of his ebbing sands have run
When his labor is DER and his work is done
" noI care tor the flock and keep the fold
NEen MS pulse Is still and his hear I is cold:
W II miss him then every look and tone
20 familiar now forever gone,
VIII thrill the heart with inward Main
ma We III long listen Tor them in vain;
w heI stranger form and stranger face
ohaH stand IN your honored pastors place.

PILLAR LETTER BoxEs.-A simple and
efficient plan for facilitating the posting
letters in the most populous parts of Lon
don has been adopted. 1t consists of
placing pillar letter boxes along the lead
ing thOr0ughfares, at intervals of half a
mile or Whereabouts. These hollow pill
lars Will be fitted for the reception of
letters, and fixed on the footway, in such
position as not to obstruct traffic of any
kind, and the Post Office Department will
itself bear the whole expense of construc-
ton and erection. The letters are to be
taken out every hour, SO as to continue
the present admirable system of the Lon
don post office, whereby any letter posted
within three miles of the General Post
Office is delivered to its address within a
period of not more than two hours from
the time at which it was deposited in the
letter box.
