Borrowed Franks

OF the many frauds constantly practiced
upon the revenue of the Postofice Depart
ment. there is none, perhaps, deserving OF
more pointed condemnation than the custom,
of late years SO prevalent in this city, of
using borrowed franks 10 cover private cor
respondence. Many persons in Washing
ton whose business connections are at dis
lance, are in the habit of procuring from
persons entitled to the franking privilege
regular supplies of franked envelopes, under
which their whole correspondence is con
Quoted. It is true that, in some instances,
the postage thus saved during a year amounts
TO ndinconsiderable sum. But the loss of
character through which this saving is ac-
complished ought certainly TO inspire some
doubt as TO its economy; Tor, surely, it can
not be pretended that the confession, made
upon every letter illegally franked, that its
writer has defrauded the government of the
petty sum of three cents, tends to inspire
confidence In a man of business, or respect
for correspondent. l.slae So
This matter has often been brought to the
notice of the Postoffice Department; butthe
difficulty of procuring the Necessary proof
has in most cases prevented ACTION upon the
part of the authorities. We have been in
formed; however, that hereafter stringent
measures will be taken in all cases, where
such offenses can. by any possibility, be
traced TO the. guilty parties Washington

Gifts of Poverty to the church.

The great men of the church have gener-
ally sprung from the depths of poverty
DR.. Harris, of Bangor, urges this point
with much force:
1.-The gifts of poverty are the richest gifts
to the churches. / refer not now to the
widows mite, richer though they be than
all the gifts of wealth; but to gifts richer
even than the widows mite.
IA few years ago. on a wintry morning. a
boy in the habiliments of poverty entered
an old school house, among the western
moantains. and ayawed to The master his
desire for an education. There was power
" laying one of her richest gifts on the al
tar of religion; for that boy was Joans King.
On his humble shoemaker's BENCH. Carey
laid the foundation of British Bap-
list Missions. John Newton found in his
congregation an unfriended Scotch boy.
whose soul was. then glowing with new
born, loye 70 Christ. He took him to John
Thornton, one of those noble merchants
whose wealth, whose piety and whose be-
neficence, increase together. They educa-
ted him, and that boy became Olaudius
Buchanan whose name India will bless,
when the names of Give and Hastings are
forgotten. John Bunyan was gift of poy-
erty to the church. Zwingle came forth
from the Alpine shepherds cabin; Melanc-
thoH from an armoreF's 5 Workshop; Luther
from miners COTTAGE, the apostles. some
of them, from fisherman's huts. These are
the gifts of poverty to the church. It is
the honored Office of the Education Society,
to be the almoner of gifts like these dia-
monds in the rough, and polish them to
sparkle among the jewels of the Savior s

Spaculation VS. Fact

General Lane, of Oregon. has been fgur-
ing up the population. of Oregon, in the
Washington Union. Taking the census OF
1859, and then the census of 1855. he CON
jectured from the inureasers that Oregon has
now about 90, 600 people. OF course, this
increase was taken for granted, notwitlistand-
ing the suspicious of many persons that the
late Indian wars and other causes had pre-
vented an increase. Ess sse5.
Having $4,000 population, Oregon was
entitled TO come into the Union as State
and 1t was importantt to show this result, in
order to justify those politicians who are
willing 10 see Oregon admitted. But not
willing to see Kansas. Oregon, they might
say, has the requisite number of inhabit
ants, but Kansas has not. Unfortunately,
however, for these calculations, tile last ar
rival from California brought the following
paragraph: srs.th - =. a.5's.I
: "PoPunArIbN OF oREGox.-The census
of Oregon Territory. just takea. shows the
population to be 42, ,862. - The number oi
