"YouRPArER DID NOT CoME, SIR."-Ws recommend careful perusal of the follow ing plain statement, both to postmasters and subscribers The uncertain arrival or un. certain delivery of papers at the country post-offices is often the ground of complains against publishers and editors. Many ofthe offices are poorly supplied with conveni- ences for taking care of papers, no matter with what certainty they arrive. The pa- pers are jumbled into a few little pigeon holes, or piled upon desk, box or barrel, to await the call of the subscribers, in the midst of the boots, hats, brides, horse e-col- lars, and other coarse wares, which may bs called for during the day by customers.- Country postmasters, in most cases, being engaged in some mercantile business, many newspapers find their way into some obscure corner, where they are hid for time from human eyes, as completely as if buried in mountain cave. In comes the man for his paper, and as it cannot be found, of course it did not come. The indignant subscriber consequently abuses the rascally editor, and perhaps calls for pen, ink and paper, to write letter ofcomplaint about not sending his paper punctualiy, when, it the said pa- per w"re endowed with speech, it would cry out, Here am squeezed to death behind this box, or under this barrel" We have then just such things at many country post offices, elsewhere as well as in this country. These remarks have no reference to any particular office, but are meant for all where they will apply.-Scient,fc American.

PAPER MAKING.

Few persons have any adequate idea of the immense amount of capital and labor employed in the manufacture of paper. And 1t is only by recourse to figures and reli. able statistics, that a just conception of the nature and extent of the business can be sproximated. The rate at which the con- sumption of tho article increases has far outstripped the most extravagant anticipa- tions that could have been entertained, and has opened the eyes of manufacturers to the startling fact that the source from which they have de,ived the material necessary for tho manufacture of paper, which they had regarded as unfaling, has been compa- ratively exhausted--to such an extent, at least, as to render them no longer able to keep pace with the demand. Rags, which at one time proved serious incumberance to housekeepers, and were thrown out with the daily offal, are now becoming an article not only sought after, but an article esteem cd almoss precious.
 This state of things has been foreseen, and the propriesors of the London Times, knowing tho effect an advance in the price of paper, growing out of the scarcity of rags would have in diminishing their profits, of- tOtco tHW atu VI &~SsVuu tot tue 0tSC0veIy Of cheap and perfect substitute for rags, as . material for the manufacture of paper. Many experiments have already been tried, and ihoaeh, as yet, without entire success. ws may Still reasonably hope, in view of what has already been accomplished. that ultimately the desired result will be attain cd. What man has done in the past, in- spires the belief that his genius is capable Of further and greater achievements; that, indeed, whatever his intellectual and physi- cal wants may crave as essential to the grand progressive movement in favor of the true interests of his race, will in time be procured and brought within tho achieve Inent of science and m. We trust that the check experienced in meeting the demand for paper will soon b. remoVed. as great inccaveniencs has already ben suffered particularly by the press. Many proprietors q nswspepeFs have been compelled to TO. duce tho siss of their shest and in some in. stances b suspend tke publication of the pa per alsogeshef.

Rxsr or THE SARsArH.-The North British Review illustrates the importance of sufficient sleep on parallel with the natural history of the Sabbath :--
 "The Creator has given us . natural rs- storative-Sabbath.keeping and is ruin to dispense with either. Under the pres- sure of high excitement, individuals have passed weeks together with little sleep, or none but when the process is long contin- ued, the over-driven powers rebel. and fever delirium and death come on. Nor can tho natural amount be systematically curtailed without corresponding mischief The Sab- bath does not arrive like sleep. The day of rest does not steal over us like the hour of slumber. It does not entrance us ale most whether we will or not but, address ing us as intelligent beings, our Creator assures us that we need it, and bids us mo- tice it's return and court it's renovation. And if, going in the face of the Creators kind. ness, we force ourselves to work all days alike, it is not long till we pay the forfeit. The mental worker-the man of business, or the man of letters--fnds his ideas com. ing turbid and slow; the equipoise of his faculties is upset, he grows moody, fitful and capricious and with his mental elas- ticity broken, should any disaster occur, he subsidies into habitual melancholy, or in self-destruction speeds his guilty exit from gloomy world. And the manual worker-- the artizan, the engineer, by toiling on from day to day and week to week, the bright intuition of his eyes gets blunted, and, forgetful of their cunning, his fingers no longer perform their feats of twinkling agility, nor by plastic touch mould dead m matter, or wield mechanic power, but min- gling his life's blood in his daily drudgery, his locks are prematurely gray, his genial humor sours, and slaving it till he has be- come morose and reckless man, for an extra effort, or any blink of balmy feelings, he must stand indebted to opium or alec. hol."

BEAUTIFUL FIouRE.-Two painters were employed to frescoe the walls of ma gnifi. cent cathedral; both stood on rude scaf- folding constructed for the purpose some forty feet from the floor. One of tf em was so silent upon his work that he became wholly absorbed, and in admiration stood off from the picture, gazing at it with in- tense delight. Forgetting where he was. ho moved backwards slowly, surveying critically the work of his pencil, until he had neared the very edge of the plank upon which he stood.
 At this critical moment, his companion turned suddenly, and almost frozen with horror, beheld his imminent peril another instant and the enthusiast would be precip- itated upon the pavement beneath; if he spoke to him, it was certain death, if he held his peace it was equally sure. Sud. denly he regained his presence of mind, and seizing wet brush, flung it against the wall, spattering the beautiful picture with unsightIy blotches of coloring. The pain. CT flew forward, and turned upon his friend with fierce imprecations but startled at his ghastly face. he listened to the recital of danger looked shudderingly oyer the dread space below, and with tears of grati. tude blessed the hand that saved him.
 So, said preacher. we sometimes get absorbed in looking upon the pictures of the world, ,and in contemplating them, step backward, unconscious of our peril when the Almighty dashes out the images, and we spring forward to lament their destruc- tlon-into the outstretched arms of mercy, and are saved.
