Ey-Rev. G.. D., of Fayetteville county
Arkansas, one Of the genius "forest born" or
ators, preaching not long since on 'the glory
of the saints" delivered the following burst Of
.'natiye" eloquence, which is too good to be
lost Who my brethren can describe the
glory ofthe saints? Why, nothing on earth
can liken it. If you drill a hole in the sun
and put it on your head for a crown, and split
the moon and put it on your shoulders for
epaulettes-If you tear down the starry cur
tains of the skies and wrap it around your
body for robe, and ride TO heaven on the
lightning wings of the tempest-this will be
as nothing to the glory of the saintsr'
The Portland daily press., 1864-02-20

Mr.. Postmaster General Blair, in his annual
report, has recommended several very impor-
tant reforms In the postal system of the coun-
try, the better to accommodate the people
and to meet the wants Ct the times. he rec
ommends not only the adoption OF the money
order system, but also the free delivery OF
letters in cities and large towns, and fixed
compensation to postmasters, based upon the
average OF the past four years.
La many respects the European nations are
far ahead OF us in postal regulations. The
carrier system there universally obtains, and
this service is in most cases performed with
out fee--the exceptions being confined TO To-
calities where the sparseness Of the popula-
ton justifles departure from the system.
In Austria, Belgium, England, France, Han
seattle Cities, Italy, The Netherlands, Prussia
and Switzerland letters are brought to the
door, and without fee except in the small viii
lagos and rural districts of Austria and Prus-
sia In all these countries postmasters re-
eeiye fixed salary, and in all except Eng
land they render their accounts monthly; in
England weekly.
The Postmaster General is in favor of in
PRODUCING the same general regulations, SO far
as practicable, into our postal system. The
law authorizing the free delivery OF mail mat
ter bv carriers took effect on the first day OF
July last. About that time the system was
put in operation at forty-nine of the larger
Offices, with a competent corps of carriers to
;,,f bo fnur hum
dred and forty-nine, at an aggregate annual
compensation of S3006S0.
The Natl onal Intelligencer says in relation
to this matter, "while We cannot hope, with
"the present distribution of our population
"and the extent of our country, to attain the
"point reached by European Governments I'M
"der this head, we may at least marx the pro-
"gress they have made as indicating reform
(which should be adopted wherever the con-
editions of its existence are found. We have
"the best reason to know that Mr.. Blair is
disposed not only 10 give the system in oui
country fair trial, but to promote its ex'
"tension as far as practicable. Ample but
swell guarded provision to this effect ha:
sheen made in the revised code of the laws
"relating to the Post Office Department, which
"was submitted by him at the last session o.
athe Thirty seventh Congress, and TO which
ssthe attention of the present Congress is
"again invited in his last annual report"
The Intelligencer closes up an interesting
article, to which we are indebted for many o.
the foregoing facts, as follows;
