When you want . stamp on your let
ter, tell the Postmaster to put 1t on; Il
he don't lick It, you lick him. In case
you put 1t on yourself, soak 1t In your
mouth long enough to remove the mu'
ciiage, 1t will then stick till it Is dry.
Be sure to ask tide Postmaster to cred.
1t you for stamps, and If he has any &C.
commodation about him at all, he will
do 1t.
If you have box, stand and drum or
It until the Postmaster hands out you,
mail; it mak.s him feel good, especially
If he is waiting on some one else.
While the mail is being assorted, rush
into the distributing office and crowd
about the Postmaster and assistants
They like to have dead beats around;
moreover, the law prohibiting oil but
sworn officials from entering the as
sorting and distributing Office, is an ar
bitrary one and trenches upon the
rights Of the Great American People.
If you are fortunate enough to have
forty eleven children, be sure to have
them all stop and inquire for mail in
relays while they are en- route to and
from school.
When you address letter, be sure
to cut some double demisemiquaver
about the address, 50 that it cannot be
read, and eventually finds its way to
the Dead Letter Office, for which don't
fail to curse the stupidity of Postmast-
ers.

RICH FOR A MOMENT.-The British
ship Britannia was wrecked off the coast
OF Brazil, and had on board large con-
signment of Spanish dollars. In the
hope Of saving some of them. a number
of barrels were brought on Geek, but
the vessel went to pieces so fast that the
only hope for fife was in taking at once
to the boats. The last boat was about
to push off, when young midshipmau
went back to see If any one was still on
board. To his surprise, there sat man
Oh deck with a Ratchet in his hand,
with which he had broken open several
of the casks, the contents Of which he
was heaping up about him.
"What are you doing there::" shouted
the youth. Don't you know the ship
is fast going to peces?"
"The ship may" said the man; ~
have lived poor wretch all my life and
l am determined to die rich"
His "Reminiscences were answered on
ly by another flourish of the Ratchet,
aud was left alone to his fate
We. should count such person m ID
man, but he has many imitators. Men
seem determined to die rich ut all haZ-
yards. Least of all risks DO they count
the chance Of losing the soul in the
struggle, at any moment at all. And
yet the only riches we can hug to our
bosom with joy in our dying hour, are
the riches of grace through Jesus Christ
which we must make ours before the
dark hour comes. Oh how rich have
many died in their garrets and huts,
while kings and princes have entered
upon the other life more destitute than
beggars. Who would not rather choose
to he rich for eternity, than rich for the
feeting moment in which the ship is
sinking into the dark waters.

How TO WASH EAsILY.-A house
keeper In the Prairie Farmer lets US in
to her secret how to do this, and we
here print what she says:
II am neither a newspaper corre-
| spondent, nor an authoress; but for the
benefit Of the sisterhood who do their
own washing, want to give recipe,
which have proved aud know to be
good. 1t was given ME by friend who
had used it a number Of years, and says
will not injure the clothes. Washing
day is the most tresome Of the week; to
be sure machines and wringers have
done much to tighten the labors, but
even with these, wash more easily by
using the fluid. l wish some one would
try this recipe and report how it works.
Here it is:
give pounds of sal soda one pound Of
borax, one pound Of unsIaked lime.
Dissolve the soda and borax in one gall
lon Of boiling water; Stake the lime in
the same quantity ot boiling water; then
pour them both into eight gallons Of
cold water: stir few times and let it.
stand until morning, when the clear
fluid should be poured off into jars ready
for use. For two pals full of water use
haIfa pint Of the compound. Soak your
clothes over night, putting soap on the
soiled parts. In the morning wiring
them out aud put them on to boil, first
putting some Of the fluid and soap into
the boiler. After boiling ten or twelve
minutes, take them out into your ma
chine or tub and the dirt will rub right
off; then rinse well in two waters. Some
will say twill not do to boil dirty
clothes; just try it and your clothes will
look nicely, and you will not he near as
tired"
A worthy Quaker once wrote thus:
II expect to pass through the world but
once. If, Therefore, there be any kind.
ness can show, or any good thing l
can do fsr my fellow human, let me do
it now; Let me not defer or neglect it,
for will not pass this way again"
DO not be troubled because you
have no great virtues. God madea mil
lion spears Of grass where he made one
tree. The earth is frinyed and carpeted,
not with forests, but with grasses. On
~ have enough of little virtues and
common facilities, and yon need no.
mourn because you are neither hero or
a saint.

FRENCH HUSBANDS AND WoMES's

cipatlon of women, played their spouscs
the following little trick:
lawyer, whom they engaged for
this purpose, called at their houses i'm

her. 80 Sue was obliged to receive the

An hour afterwards the two sat down
to supper. The lady no longer talks OF
her wrongs, and Of her desire to recover
her liberty. Similar scenes occurred at
the homes of the other gentlemen

that they are SO much oppressed, apply
for divorces? They surely are entitled
