A Few SLIGHT FAULTS IN A PosTMAs-
rER.-When Judge Mclean was Postmas-
ter General, he wrote the following letter to
dismissed Postmaster, who inquired why
he had been removed
..s1R: The allegations against you are nu-
merous and strong, and chiefly these: That
YOU cannot write nor read; are not safe ac.
countant; not delivering letters when called
for, delivering letters frequently to persons
for whom they were not intended; fail to
send letters and packages by mail in proper
time; sometimes sending off the mail without
putting into it any letters or packets that
have been lodged at your office; reverse the
destination of letters, and send them back to
the place whence they came; have not sense
enough to discover the error after the letters
have been repeatedly returned; make fire.
queut and gross mistakes in the bills for
warded to other Offices; open packages ad'
dressed to other post Offices; when mail is
called for by neighboring postmaster
handing out any one, right er wrong; disobey
the regulation respecting dead newspapers; !;
appropriate half dozen Of them to your
own use for two or three years, and resort TO
the miserable speculation of selling them for
wrapping paper; fill up q circulating library
with periodical works obtained in this way !;
are uneouth in your behavior, odious to the
population; heap error upon error; and-avail
Yourself of these errors in order to supplant
your employer; have been tried by the vicin-
age and found wanting; and to sum up, they
charge you with want of principle and capacl-
ty."

story is told of revolutionary soldier who
was running for Congress: 1t appears that
our hero was opposed byOa much younger
man, who had never "been to the war;" and
it was the wont of old Revolutionary" to
tell the people of the hardships he endured.
Says he: .,
uFellow.citizens, I have fought and bled
for my country-I helped to whip the Brit
ish and the Indians. I have slept upon the
field of battle with no covering but the can
opy of Heaven. I have walked over frozen
ground till every footstep was marked with
blood"
Just about this time one of the "sover-
eigus," who had become very much affected
by this tale of woe, walks up in front OF the
speaker, wiping the tears from his eyes with
the extremity of his coat tail, and interrupt
ing him, says: ,
"Did you say you fought the British and
the Ingines?' >,
eyes" responded the old Revolutionary"
"Did you say that you had slept on the
ground, while serving your country, without
any kiver?"
"Yes, sir, I did"
"Did you say you had followed the enemy
of your country over frozen ground till every
footstep was marked with blood"
eyes" exultingly replied the speaker
"Well, them" says the fearful "sove-
reigu," as he gave sigh of painful emo
ton. uPll be ID if I don't think you've
done enough for your country, and I'll vote
for the other man"

PATR1CK'S SERNADE.
Och! Bridget, mavoureen, joost open the winder,
And give me glimpse av your beautiful face !;
My ancient dudeen is all burnt to cinder,
Andboogs are quite thick in this smurthrin' place.
Sure, Biddy my girl, it's no joke for ganius,
To walk all day 'nath the botherin' hod,
And thin, in the night, sernade a young Vanius,
Clane up to his knees in the muddy ould sod.
Pmdyin' wild rapture, my jewel Of creatures,
A niver lover more willingly howled; lures,
But don't ye let scorn wrinkle up your sweet fea-
Because your poor Paddy has got such cowld,
The lightuin' is roarin', the toonder is aashin',
The moon is no bigger than nothin' at ALL;
And such an outrageous and divilish splasmn
never did hear, since the days was small.
Thin open the winder, my queen av Affection
Or, what is as good, plase open the door;
Nor drame that you're sure of escapin, detection,
know ye're awake, by the length ov ye're
shnore.

of course my wife was with me. About 2
