origin OF Penny Postage,

uKI8Au Oh f00my FOstmkGs
+ A traveller, sauntering through the lake
distsicts Of England, some years ago, arrived
st small public house just - the postman
stopped to deliver = letter. A young girl
came out to receive it. She took it in her
hand, turned it over and over, and asked the
charge. 1t was large sum, no less than a
shilling. Signing heavily, she observed that
it came from her brother, that she was too
poor to take 1t in, and she returned 1t to the
postman accordingly. The traveller was .
man of kindness as we'll as OF observation !;
be offered to pay the postage himself, and in
spite of more reluctance on the girls part
than he could well understand, he did pay it
and gave her the letter. No sooner, howev-
er, was the postman's back turned, than she
confessed that the proceeding had been con
certed between her brother and herself that
the letter was empty; that certain signs on
the directions conveyed all that she wanted
to know; and that, as they could neither Of
them afford postage, they had devised this
method OF franking the intelligence desired.
The traveller pursued his journey, and, as he
plodded over the Cumberland Falls, he unused
upon the badness OF q system which drove
people to such straits for means OF CORES
pondence, and defeated ito own objects all
the time. With most men such musings
would have ended before the close of the
hour; but this mans name was Rowland Hill,
and it was from this incident, and these re-
dections, that the whole scheme Of penny
postage was derived
