poverty would not let him touch gold; and
that, having no Theologians, he had sent him

The Dropped Letter.

A peculiar sensation is felt in dropping n
letter, especially il II is one Of value, into
the box Of mammoth post-oilice, like that
Of New York for example. One feels a
sort Of revulsion, as If part Of himself, as
|, were, had fallen into an unfathomable
abyss, never to be recovered. The act
strikes the heart like destiny irrevcrsab'e
forever. II any error has occurred in the
letter it is beyond correction; If anything
happens a, the instant, as there sometimes
does, which ought to make change, ,hetc
is no help for 1t. -a-
What is done is done, and past redcmp-
ton. No repentance will avail. You would
have something otherwise, but II cannot be.
It is too late. The missiye has passed
away, and is no longer yours, or subject to
your alteration or control.
So ii is with every humsn notion, is Il
not J.? The consequences are beyond recall.
"The deed is done, and there is an end OF
it," is common expression, heard especial
" often from the inpulsive and careless.
But there Is not the end Of II. Happy would
II be for the doer. if IL were. But large
consequences flow from those acts so reck-
lessly done, so slightly viewed aierward.-
A considerute person on responsible occa-
sions will experience something of the feel
ing of the irrevocable nature Of the act
which strikes upon the heart of the letter
dropper. lie will pause and rencst before
dismissing his deed into the abyss Of time,
lest some error might be wrapped up in IL,
that could then, and then only, be rectifed,
and save the actor from remorse. A few
moments Of reflection at tho proper time,
may save lifetime Of compunctous visit
ings.-.Ntr n .l.4dreriser.
