HE MoTTER.--A writer beautifully re-
marks that mans mother is the represcn-
tative of his Maker. Misfortune. and even
crime, set no barriers between her and her
son. While his mother lives he has one
friend on earth who will not listen when he
Is Slandered, who will not desert him when
he suffers, who will soo,he him in his cor
rows, and speak TO him of home when he is
ready to despair. Her affections know no
ebbing tide. They flow on from pure foun-
tains' and speak happiness through this vale
OF tears. and cease only at the ocean of
eternity.

From the GreenStoro Times.
OF, FOR THE MERRY MOONLIGHT
NIGHTS.
Oh, for the merry moonlight nights,
When you and | were young;
When brilliant hopes like shining stars
Within, our heavens hung;
Alas, alas, they all have fled,
Our life is on the wane;
And those pure hours of untold bliss
Cannot return again.
Oh, those were happy, happy days,
As free we sported then;
And even the birds more joyous, seem'd
In our enchanted glen;
And, oh, how the old forest rang
With our uproarious mirth:
While in our hearts new hopes of bliss
We've springing into birth.
It's true those scenes cannot return
To warm our hearts again;
Yet memory can their blissful joys
Within the soul retain;
And cen as the pilgrim roams
To some far distant shore;
So shall my heart pilgrimage
Make to those scenes of ore.

DEAD LETTERS.-PnStmastc General
Campbell, in recent Report, states that
the number of letters uncaIled for or dead
II probably three millions. and it would
seem absolutely proper that some measures
he adopted by the department to insure
the delivery of these missives with greater
certainty. Sl20,0O0 accrue to the post
offices without their performance of the
duty of delivering the letters. This mat
ter has already been brought to the notice
OF the official of the department, and pro-
badly the Postmaster General of the in
coming administration will take the proper
measures to amend an evil which is felt to
be very unpleasant.
