these single pack.sges-very troublesome, in pro.
portion to the gains. We can put up two or three
papers for ailksnearly soon we can one.
Besides, we always realize feeling of anxiety in
regard these little packets, in sending one
paper avaysby itself so far. We feel for them in
rheir lonely and uncertain journey. AS to the
large packages their very bulk will command
some respect for them from post Office clerks. But
these solitary little fellows in their seeming in
significance, may, probably be kicked into senae
corner or miss their way, and he lost among the
hills and hollows. It is pity to have one paper
