The Mechanics Advantages.

The following old story, which we may
have published heretofore, is good one, and
will bear twice telling. Read it.
Not many years ago, Polish lady of
plebeian birth, but of exceeding beauty and
accomplishments, won the affections of q
young nobleman, who having her consent
solicited her hand from her father in marriage,
and was refused. We may easily imagine the
astonishment of the nobleman.
Gam not" said he, "of sufficient rank to
aspire to your daughters haud?"
" You are undoubtedly Of the best blood of
Poland"
"Then having your daughters consent, how
could expect refusal 2"
This, sir, said the father, is my only child,
and her happiness is the chief concern Of my
life. All the possessions of fortune are pre-.
carious. What fortune gives, at her caprice
she takes away. see no security for the in
dependence and comfortable living of wife
but one in q word, am resolved that no
one shall be the husband of my daughter who
is not master Of trade"
The nobleman bowed his head and retired
silently. In a year or two afterwards, the
father was sitting at the door, and saw ap.
preaching his cot, wagons loaded with baskets,
and heading the cavalcade, the nobleman in
the dress of basket maker. lie was now
master Of trade, and brought the wares
made by his own hands, fer inspection, and
certificate from his employer that he was mas.
ter of his business.

the story is not yet done. The revolution
came, fortunes were plundered, and lords
were scattered like chaF before the winds OF
Heaven. Kings became beggars-some OF
them teachers-and the noble Pole supported
his wife and her father in the infrlnities oil
age, by his basket making industry.

the following proposition to the prisoner:

Tbc Moil Service at the South.

The system Of fniggardly economy which has
recently been adopted BY the Post Office De
partnent, at Washington, is beginning to be
seriously felt, especially here at the South,
where at no time the mail facilities have been
adequate the wants ofthe people, and where
many mail routes have been discontinued al.
together, while others have been cut down
from daily 10 tri-weckly, and from tri.weekly
to sen,i-weekly and weekly mails. We con-
slider this economical experiment of the gov.
ernment eYcn worse than niggardly-it is in
expedient and unjust, and cen only be pro.
ductive of serious inconvenience and evil. If
retrenchment be necessary to keepthe expen-
ditures of the government within the limit of
lis revenues, there arc innumerable leaks in
tile treasury That might and ought to be stop
ped before stopping the mails. 1t is, too, q
mistaken notion, tIat only such mail lines
should be maintained. as by their postages
pay their expenses. 1t would be just as pro.
per to apply the same principle to the army
or navy service, either Of which could, per-
hsps, be better dispensed with than the postal
service of the country. In fact, if either have
to be retrenched, the interests Of the people
would suffer less if the government would
commence with the former.
We have been led to these remarks by the
constant complaints which reach US from por.
items of our State Of the. inadcquacy of the
mail service We do not know that anything
the press here can say will have any influence
in renedying the evil so justly complained Of,
but we feel It to be our duty to call the at
ten.ion ofthe department 10 the subject, and
urge upon it more liberal scale Of mail Ser.
vics III our section.
in this connection we refer to the proceed
ings ofa meeting of citizens of Darien, in our
paper this morning. In consequence Of the
reduction of the mail from Savannah South to
a semi.weeky mail, one of the steamers from
this city has been Withdrawn from the line,
thus diminishing the travelling as we'll as the
mail facilities, to the serious injury and in
of the people of both cities.-

Deal Gently.

DSoA ~SAAsNs
For others veal let good men labor,
And not for fame or pultry pelf-
And mind the maxim, love thy neighbor
AS we'll as thou dost love thyself.
Deal gently with thy erring brother,
Forgive, as thou wOuldst be forgiven,
If here we love not one another
How can we dwell in love in heaven 2
And should thy feeble brother stumble,
And often fall upon the road
Though poor, despised, deformed and humble
Just raise him up and point to God.
Crush not the heart that's almost broken,
But light up hopo and Danish fear;
A pleasant word when softly spoken,
Will heal tho wound and dry the tear.
Can We forget our own behavior!
Can we for NIL our sins atone?
Let him who needs no blessed Savior,
Be first to scourge or cast the stone.
Oh, let US make the world better,
Than twas the day it gave US birth
By breaking ever yoke and fetter,
And spreading light and truth OF earth.
And then We shall behold the dawning,
OF good times we sought so long
The light of that millenial morning,
OF cloudless sun and ceaseless song.
