The ART OF VIsITING.-rh The Boston Post has
a clever essay on this social art, from which we
copy the following paragraph: Some people Wis
ii nearly all the time, and SO waste their own
lives and their friends substance; some rarely
visit at all, aud SO deny themselves and theiI
nelghbors one of the greatest pleasures of social
existence. Some people make their visits So
short that they are not worth the trouble they
cost; Others stay SO long that the visit becomes
"vlsltdtson'-like lever or famine As use
is essential to excellence in any art, only those
who have certain amoant of practice, know
how to visit well; while those who visit toe
much, sin in another way, and become bad Wis.
Itors from impudence and carelessness. But we
are writing the essay which we began with sim.
ply suggesting; and will only add in conclusion
that all rules must vary more or less with the
character OF the visitor. AS an old epiSram
says
What smiles and welcome would give
Some friends 10 each day live;
And yet what treasures would pay
If some would only stay away!'

MY CHILD's ORIGIN.
One night as old st. Peter slept
lie left the door of heaven a-jar,
When through a little angel crept
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
Of morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasant dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but ths-T ask no more
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that blessed shore,
And lind that door Of heaven again.

ST. PETERS REPLY.
Full eighteen hundred years or more,
I've kept my doors securely tied,
There is no little angel strayed
Nor has been missing all the WHILE

Nor leave the door of Heaven . jar;
Nor has a little angel left
And gone down with falling star.
Co ask that blushing bride and see
IL she won't frankly own and say,
That when she found that angel babe,
She found it by the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more;
That should your number be enlarged,
That you will not do as before,
And lay it to old Peters charge.

EDUCATE, EDUcATE--ThiS is the tocsin which
more than all others, we delight to sound -
= Educate, educated Not in any narrow OF
exclusive essence of the word, but in the widest
sense. Educate physically, mentally, morally
reigiously--every way Expand the mind, ex,
pand the soul There is no fear of educating
the people too much, so long as their teachers
in youth or in age, are wise and good.
Nature may have been bountful. She may
have been even proGuse to prodigality, anl
shown seeming partiality in her brstowals of
intellectual capacity. But ii still requires eda-
cation to call forth and direct Alright the powers
of the mind. A few among such as have neg
lectcd educational planes when young, have
made up their loss in some degree, when grown
to manhood or womdnhood. But they depend
on education at last. Itmay have been mainly
set-educaton--that is, education without much
assistance from personal teachers-but it was
education of some sort, after all.

Syracusian tyrant, insisted on being instructed

dispense with instruction. The same is true OF

A SISTERS VALUE.

Have YOU a sister? Then love and
cherish her with all that pure and holy
friendship which renders brother 80
noble and worthy. Learn to appreciate
her sweet influence as portrayed in tie
following words:
He who has never known sisters
kind ministration, nor felt his heart warm
ing beneath her endearing smile and love
beaming eye, has been unfortunate indeed.
1t is not much to be wondered at, if the
fountains of pure feeling flow in his bos-
ON but sluggishly, or if the gentle emo
tions of his nature be lost in the sterner
attributes of mankind.
"That man has grown up among 81
fectionate sisters" l once heard lady
of much observation and experience re-
mark.
"And why do you think so ?" said I.
because of the rich development Of
all the tender feelings of the heart"
A sisters influence is felt even in man
hoods ripper years, and the heart Of him
who has grown cold in chilly contact Of
the world, will warm and thrill with pure
enjoyment, as some accident awakens
within him the soft tones, the glad mel
odies of a sisters voice-and he will turn
from purposes which a warped and false
philosophy had reasoned into expediency.
and even weep for the gentle influences
which moved him in his earlier years.

The Post Master General has made the
following regulations respecting the pre-
payment of postage on all transient print
ed matter.
L. Goods, not weighing over four
pounds, may be sent in the mail, prepaid
by postage stamps, at one cent an ounce
any distance in the United States under
three thousand miles, and at two cents an
ounce over three thousand miles, provid-
ed they are put up without cover or
wrapper, or in a cover or wrapper open
at the end or sides so that their character
may be determined without removing the
wrapper.
9. Unsealed circulars, advertisements,
business cards, transient newspapers, and
every other article of transient printed
matter, except books, not weighing over
three ounces, sent in the mail to any part
of the United States, are chargeable with
one cent postage each to be prepaid by
postage stamps, Where more than one
circular is printed on sheet, or circu-
lar and letter, each must be charged with
a single rate. This applies to lottery and
other kindred sheets assuming the form
and name of newspapers !; and the mis-
cellaneous matter in such sheets must al
so be charged with one rate. A business
card on an unsealed envelop Of a circu-
lar subjects the entire packet to letter
postage. Any transient matter like a
circular or handbill, enclosed in or with
a periodical or newspaper sent to sub
scriber or to any other person, subject
iha whole aaclaue to lettnr postage rnd
whenever subject to letter postage, from
being sealed, or from any other cause
whatever, all printed matter, without ex-
ception, must be prepaid or excluded
from the mail. 1t is the duty of the
postmaster at the mailing Office, as well
as at the Office of delivery, carefully to
examine all printed matter, in order to
see that it is charged with the proper rate
of postage, and to detect fraud. At Off
ces where postage stamps cannot be pro-
cured, posmasters are authorized to re-
ceive money in prepayment of postage
on transient matter; but they should be
careful to keep a supply of stamps on
hand.

AVERAGE DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.
Prof Buchanan, in recent lecture before
the Mechanics Institute at Cincinnati.
said that in the latter part Of the sixteenth
century one-half who were born died un-
der FIVE years of age; the average lon
gevity of the whole population was but
10 years. In the 18th century, one-half
of the population died under l2 years.
But in the first sixty years of the eight
eenth century. one-half of the population
lived over 27 years. In the latter forty
years, one-half exceeded 40 years and
from 1888 to l845, one-half exceeded
43. The average longevity at these sue
cessive periods has been increased from
l8 years in the sixteenth century up to
42.7 by the last reports.
