AN IMPROVEMENT Postmaster General
has issued orders for supply OF letter paper, to
he cut, gummed and embossed, with a three e-cent
postage stamp, combining in one both letter sheet
and envelope. This sheet will be about half the
size OF the old fashioned letter paper, SO folded
and cut as to furnish a neat and convenient pre-
paid letter of only about half the weight of those
now in use with an envelope. Orders have also
been sent for similar sheets, letter size The use
of envelopes have often been objected to by legal
gentlemen, as the post office stamp is often tue
only conclusive evidence OF the time when let
ter may have been mailed. There can be but
little doubt that the new system vii! supercede
the old, so far as business letters are concerned.

A BEAUTIFUL PICrURE.-The man who stands
upon his own Soil-whO feels that by the laws Of
the land in which he lives-by the laws of civil
lied natious-he is the rightful and the exclusive
owner Of the laud which he tils, is 10y the const-
tuition of our nature under a wholesome influence,
not easily imbibed by any other source. He feels,
other things being equal, more strongly than
another, the character OF a man who is the lord
OF an iuanimate world. OF this great and won
derfu sphere, which fashioned by the hand of
God, and upheld by his power, is rolling through
the heavens a part of his-hs form the center to
the sky. 1t is the space on which the generation
before him moved in its round of duties, aud he
feels himself connected by visible link with
those who follow him, and to whom he is to trans
nit home. Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone to their
last home; but he can trace their last footsteps
over the scenes of his daily lab0rs. The Ioot
which shelteres him was reared by those to whom
he owes his being Some interesting domestic
tradition is connected with every inclosure. The
tavorite fruit tree was planted by his fathers
hand. He sportcd in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadows. Through
the fields lie the path to the village school Of
earlier days. He still hears from his window the
voice of the Sabbath bell which called his father
to the house of God near at hand is the spot
where his parents laid down to rest, and where,
when his time has come, he shall be laidby his
children. These are the feelings OF the owners
of the soil Words can not paint them gold
can not buy them they flow out of the deepest
fountains of the heart they are the life-spring5

The VI ountains.

No wonder mountaineers in all ages, have
fought SO valiant for their strongholds No
wonder the Suots clung with suth tenacity to
their rugged heritage in Greece, that for two
centuries all the power of the Turkish Empire
could not dislodge them. There is something
magnetic, surely, in mountain scenery and noun

What change it is from the heat and dust
aud drive of a city sweating under the unwhoe-
some sunshine of the dog days, to q cool sierra
through whose passes the atmospheric surges roll
unpoluted as before cities were, and on whose
topmost peak hangs the white helmet OF the
king, against which the sun, though he has
shivered the thick ribbed ice in hyperborean
Labrador, launches his golden javelins in vain.
During summer, scores OF our citizens are
breathing vital air among the White Hills OF New
Hampshire. 1t is the finest air in the world for

Mount Washington will tell him the size of his
soul to barleycorn, and without uttering a
word Let him go to the summit and see the
storm cloud swaying, aud the lightnngs dartlng
between him and the world he plays his game of
grab in. The scene may put him in mind OF the
more impossible barrier that must soon intervene
between him and his earthly Investments, and it
may be good for him to conisder whether in that
case he is likely to be ever as near Heaven as the
crest of Mount Washington.
If anything can elevate, and expand dwarlish
soul, it is mountain scenery. We know man
who cannot see anything to make such fuss
about in Niagara" but he admits that mountains,

that no combination of the atmospheric elements

Influence OF WAR ON NATIoNs.--One of tho
worst evils OF war is that it absorbs the whole
attention Of mankind Whatever portion of heart,
or mind, or time, or strength we can spare from
our private affairs, we give TO the news from the
Crimca. 1t il what we read or think about
what two or three people talk about when they
meet what we see in pictures aud study in maps
and books. Three thousand miles from the war
we become impassoned spectators, aud for the
time are enveloped in all the splendor, all the
gloom Of war. Thus day by day we degenerate
into the worshpers OF Mars or Odin, aud forget
alike the dreams Of human progress aud the die
tates of pacific religion. Everybody who re-
members the late war, knows that il was all one
glitter of arms, one hutter of flags, noise of
reviews, one perpetual talk of battles, deaths,
aud promotions. Eyerytui1g else was lst com
pared with victories and d3loat. The uulversi-
ties langushed, the churches were empty, the
House Of Commons became more and more cor
rupt, and all morality, philosophy and religion
seemed to center in the thought OF dying in the
breach, with the sound Of victory in ones ears

"Welb guess don't know about that. What

"ThAts tew dollars for three times; reckon
that you may put him in the newspaper once,
stranger, and after that let him slide"
Every good what color is he"
"Rather brown than otherwise"
"Is he sound?"
"Sound? Oh, sound as q dollar-shoWRn't

~ jest want to tell you, Mr.. Auctioneer,

Exactly, and you won't take great deal
more than is offered for him, will yon?'
"well, no, I'm not dspostioned to be hard,
anyhow l calculate not"
Saturday came, and one dollar and a half was

dealer.
"Go on, gentlemen, have only one dollar and
balf bid for the horse how much more do

"Sei hin, sir, he's dying" whispered the YER
mont horse dealer into The ear Of the kuight Of

"Gone !" shouted the auctioueer, and down
went the old horse at dollar aud q half.
After the sale, the horse dealer was the first
one up at the desk to settle.
"Well, | reckon it woa't take long 10 settle up

he.
"Not long" said the clerk, "there's your nc
count Of sale you have to pay us just fifty cents
more than the horse brought"
