curiosities in Names.

There are over $4,000 Post Offices
in the United States, and the Post.Of.
iice Directory Is dry reading ncyerthe-
less there are curious things to be
found in it. We have Just been look
ing over the new Directory, and find
that there are $50 Post. Offices with the
prefix South, 400 with East, 500 North,
and something over 500 West, eyiden.
cling the growth Of the country to the
West and North.
Our propensity to exa,t public men
is shown by the names Of many Of these
Post-0ffiees. I'iity-.our are named for
Franklin, So Jackson, as Jefferson, 81
Lincoln and 2S Grant. Nearly GOO
Post-0fhces have the prefix of New, as
New Albany, etc, 250 have Mt, Mount,
or Mountain, l20 are named for the
various Saints. The trees come in for
u share--l50 have the prefix Oak, 76
Walnut or Hickory, 40 Maple, etc.-
Forty are named for the Beaver, the
great representative Of the ingenuity
and industry Of our people. l50 are
White, 90 arc Big, a. are Blue, and
ia have the prefix Of Pleasant, show
ing the estimate in which they are held
by their inhabitants. Ii have dared Il
apply the name Of Boston to other pia
ces than he huJ, while but one hal
Jared to rival the great metropolis, an,
cali itself New York.
Very curious names some OF thes,
10000 Offices have. Strange, unpro
nounceable, Indian names, and man,
ridiculous, common. place names Penn

Ancient History of the Mule.

The mule seems TO have been used
By the ancients in great variety Of
ways; but what should have prompted
his production must for ever remain a
mystery. Thst they early discovered
his great usefulness in making long
journeys, climbing mountains, and cross
ing deserts Of burning sand, when sub
sistence and water worc scarce, and
horses would have persisted is we'll es-
tablished. That he could soon recover
from the severe effects OF these long aud
trying journeys must also have been
OF great value 10 their eyes. But how
ever mnch they valued him for his use.
fulness, they seem not TO have had the
slightest yencration for him, as they
had for some other animala. l ain led
TO believe, then, that il was his great
usefulness in crossing the sandy descrts
that led to his production. IL is a
proof, also, that where the ass was at
hand there also was the horse, or the
mule could not have bceu produced.
Any people with sufficient knowledge
to produce tho mule would also have
had sufficient Knowledge 10 discover the
difference between him aud the horse,
and would have given the preference 10
the horse in all service except that 1
have just described. And yet in the
early history Of the world, We fad men
Of rank, and even rulers, using them
on state and similar occasions ; and this
when it might have been supposed that
the horse, being the Dobier animal,
would have made more display.
The Scriptures tell US that Absalom,
when he led the rebel hosts against his
father David, rode on mule, that he
rode under an oak, and hung himself by
the hair Of his head Then, again, we

Men may sigh for their rcgalias,
Maids for dainty cups of tea,
But something In this pleasant world,
Hath greater charms for me.
'Tis not exchanging gossip
With your neighbors as they pass,
Glancing Ger the latest fashions,
Nor yet looking in the glass.
Itis sitting, nice and easy,
In cosy old arm chair,
With the open easement nigh you,
Filled with fragrant summer air,
And the weekly paper lying,
With Its many gems Of thought,
Wholesome stories, pocts' musings,
To my rural home Is brought.
Dropped into my quiet window,
In the ieafy country here,
Where the cricket low Is chirping,
And no jarring sounds are near,
Food 1t gives so llghtsome, cheering,
For my sometimes doubling mind,
And Il brings with modest teachings,
Truths that | might nevsr find.
And know that you will join me,
When | wish there soon might be

From Nebraska to the sea.
