Write Le1ter9.

The father OF family remarked to us
recently that he assured his children that
he would cheertully pay the postage on all
the letters they would write, and added
that he regarded it by Tar the least eApcn-
aive means of education. We thought
il avery sensible remark from man Of
practical good sense, and as such we com.
mend it to parents. The advantage of
cheap postage are great, and rs . business
convenience il is well appreciated, AS 4
means OF education, however, We fear il is
not valued as it should be. Ability to
write good letter is, in these days. an in
dispensible accomplishment, and lack Of
this should be humiliating to any one who
pretends to good breeding. Like all other
accomplishments il must be acgutyed, by
long continued practice, and that, too
while young. When made easy by habit
letter-writing is pleasant and profitable
recreation, and those who are thus hab-
ituated seldom Or never complain that
they have no time TO write. Such = re-
mark means that it is hard, unpleasant
work We exort every boy and girl to
give this subject due attention. Show
Jour letters to your parents, or some ju.
dicious friend who is capable Of aiding you
IN your style, and be not modest in your
demands for postage stamps. BY so doing
you will acquire what will be OF the great
est service to you through life-an &C.
QUESTION you will prize more rs you grow
older.

they discovered a smoke, which came from
the CABIN OF timber hunter and 10 this
providence they owe their lives. They
learned that they were one hundred miles
north of Otoway, and by the course they
we're taking it would have required several
days to reach civilization Had they kept
