DEAD LETTRs.-Of all the official work
done at Washington none is regarded with
more interest by the transient visitor than
the Dead Letter Office. Here sit some fif-
teen or twenty gentlemen-for it is fact
disgracefu to humanity that females cannot
be employed, so many obscene letters poison
the malls-contnuall engaged in opening
the four or Eve millions of letters that annu-
ally find their way there More than 10 900
letters are daily emptied on their desks ask :
ing to be opened. When letter is found to
have valuable contents, those contents are in
dorsed upon it, and the letter returned to the
envelope. A record is made of all such let
tiers, and they are at once returned to their
writers, without return postage So perfect
are the arrangements that it is hardly posi-
BILE that valuable dead letter, which has
once reached the office, should fail of revisit
ing the writer, if in the power of the depart
ment to discover him. During the past year
$4,000 letters, enclosing SAP, 1884, were re-
ceived at this office, and nearly 10000 of
them, containing Sl30,620, were restored to
their owners. But besides these money let
tiers, there were II 900 dead letters, contain
ing bills of exchange, and other valuable mat
ter appraised at over S5,000,000 over 49,
600 containing photographs jewelry, etc. !;
and 81 1000 containing stamps and articles of
small value ; nearly all of them were return
ed to the original writers, and the reason
why any of these letters fail of being returned
is not the fault of the department, but of the
writer's, who either send AN unsigned letter,
or who will subscribe herself "ycur loving
Susie" or "your affectionate Addie ;"and as
Government knows no first names, all such
letters are consigned to the chopping-box, and
then to the paper mill to reappear as white
paper.-Hours al Home.

Sooner ur later the storms shall beat
over my SAUNDERS from head Ia feet
Sooner or later the winds shall rave
In the long grass above my grave
shall not heed them where lie,
Nothing THEN sounds shall signify,
Nothing The hcadstone's fret If rain
Nothing to me the dark day pain
Sooncr or later the sun shall shine
With tender warmth on that mound of mine
Sooner or later, in summer air.
Glover and violet blossom there
Shall not feel, in that deep laid rest,
The -heetcd light fall over my breast
Nor ever note IN those hidden hours
The wind-hlown breath of tossing flowers.
Sooner Or later the stainless. SHOWS
Shall add their hush H. my mute repoec
sooner or later shall slant and shift.
And heap my bed with dazzling driit
Chill though that frozen pail shall seem,
Its touch no colder can make the dream
That recSs not the sweet and sacrcd dread
>hruudng the city of the dead
Sooner or later the bee shall come
And I'LL the noon with its golden hum
sooner or later, ON hnll-poiscd wing,
The huc-hird'~ MARBLE about ME ring
King and cMrrup and whistle with glee
Nothing bis music shall seem to me
None of these beautiful things shall know
How soundly their lover sleeps below
Sloner or later, far out ia the night.
The stars ablye me shall wing their nght
sooner or later by darSlng dcws
Catch the white spark in the silver ooze
Never ray shall part the gloom,
That wraps me round in the kindly tomb
Peace shall he perfect for lip and brow
sooner or later-O why not now?
