THE FIRST DARK DAY.
BY REV. 8. BUTLER.

d d NV b OVAAAN
The FIRST dark wintry day has come,
With dreary storms and with'ring air,
And reared for loveliness q tomb,
And buried oil earths beauty there.
But Why should beauty bloom for me-
Why zsphyrs fan stormy seas
The flowers that so lately csst
Their fragrance to the balmy breeze,
All meekly yielding to the blast,
Have gently sunk to graves of peace.
But why for me should flowers bloom,
When Ill my soul is wrapped in gloom?
The sun that lit the summer sky
Is lost mid dIeary wintry clouds;
And all the worlds of light on high,
A dark, unbroken gloom enshrouds.
But what were summer eun-light's glow
To one whose heart is doomed to woe?
Yon leaAess bower is silent now,
Save moanings of the vintry air:
No sweet bird decks the shiverine Dough.
Nor pours his strain of gladnees there.
Bat sing no more for me, sweet bird:
Thy loving strains would pass unheard.
But Why repines fair spring will come,
And bring again the lovely flowers;
Fair sun light will disperse the gloom.
And sopgsters gil the leafy bowers.
And msy bright hope still be given
To this lone heart-Me hope Of Heaven.

He also proposes to abolish many of the dis
eliminating rates Of postage now existing, ap-
proximating az far as possible to uniformity, and
increasing the efficiency and extent of the deliv.
cry and collection of letters by carriers in cities
The attention of the public is called to the
great importance of good postal officers for q
successful administration of this Department. If
the Poetmasters and their clerks are selected
without chief reference to their efficiency and
personal fitness, no amount of good legislation
will secure public satisfaction. An energetic,
faithful and efficient Postmaster, devoted to the
interests of the service, should be retained a.
long he illustrates those qualities in his admin
istration Of the Office.
He attributes the success of the English system
largely to the permanent character of their OIL
GERS, and their familiarity with the laws and reg
ulations, and regrets the extent to which other
motives to appointments have prevailed in this
country. he urges return to the old standard
of honesty, cspability and fidelity, and antici-
pates more public satisfaction and administrative
success from the adoption Of such principle
than from any other single act Of reform. He
uses this language:
It is my intention to adhere firmly to my de-
termination to displace incompetence and indif-
ference wherever found in official position under
my control, without any discrimination in favor
of appointments myself have made under mis-
information of facts. ~
