A postal experiment is about to be at
tempted in England which has been
tried in Germany with great success,
and is there known as the card-post sys-
a message, another for signature. The
people of German cities buy them and
carry them about in the pocket, but use
them to write letters upon, usually in
pencil, in the street or anywhere, and
simply drop them into the nearest post
office receptacle. For all messages that
do not require secrecy one can dispose
of pen, stamps and envelopes. In Eng
land the card is to cost one haIf-penny.

office at lower price apiece than the

Bulwer says that property is only an
idea, nine cases out of ten. Some men
with $4,000 year suffer more for ant
of money than others with $500. The
reason is, the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is $4,000, and he
suffers enough for being dunned for un-
paid debts to kill a sensitive man. A
man who earns dollar day. and does
not run in debt, is the happier of the
two. Very few people who have not been
rich will believe this, but it is true.
There are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes who never knew a
moment of peace, because they live
above their means. There is really more
happiness among the working people
than among those who are called rich.

The Lawrence Journal recalls the fol-
lowing "reminiscences of Mr.. Greeley's
first visit to Kansas
Mr.. Greeley, the veteran editor of the
New York Tribune, as will be seen by
onr advertising columns, is about to
visit Kansas, and will lecture in Law
renee on the 7th inst. 1t was twelve
years ago last summer that Mr. Greeley
made his only visit to Kansas. In May,
1858, he attended the convention at Os-
sawatomie, at which the republican
party of Kansas was organized, and
made a profound and statesmanlike
speech on that occasion. We published
that speech in full in the old Lawrence
Republican, and the proof-sheets of the
speech, with Mr.. Greeley's corrections
in his own handwriting, were posted
up in the composing room as typograph-
zeal trophies, where they remained IN
til the Office was burned in the Guam
trell raid.
The day after Mr.. Greeley spoke in
Ossawatomie, he came to Lawrence,
and was met by cavaIcade of our citi-
zens, who rode out to the Wakarusa to
escort him into town, each horseman
having copy of the New York Zrib-
11ae stuck on his hat as badge.

A CoArPARIsoN.-At a poetical gath
ering in Ohio, recently, Gen. Garfield
said: "The democratic party, by Val
Iandigham, asks to bury the past. There
is some truth and some error in this.
The question this fall is, Which of these
parties will you trust ? In the past, note,
first, that every proposition the repub-
licans have made the last ten years have
been approved and carried out, aud the
propositions by the democratic party,
for the same period, have been repudi-
ated by the American people. The adj
ministration is charged with wasteful-
ness. Compare it with that of Buchan-
an or Johnson. Buchanan found the
government owing twenty million dol
lars, and he left it owing seventy million
dollars. 1t took 81, 100000 to keep one
of his regiments year. It takes only
seven hundred thousand dollars to keep
one now the same time. The demo-
cratic party complain of debt. Who
made it? 1t lies at their door. No re-
publican ever seeded. The hope of di-
vision in the north was the chief cause
of extending the war. Johnson, in the
last year and half of his administra-
ton, increased the debt SI,5OO,OOO.
Grant, in the same time, reduced it
S169, 100000"

THE WRONG BUSINESS.

Many man is on the wrong road al
together in respect to his profession.
We have known an artist whose true
vocation was a linendraper, and more
than one tradesman, with all his head
and heart i'll art, very bad bargainer,
but a good judge of cOlors, and capt.
tai hand at dressing out a window; a
solicitor ground down to q desk, whose
native road lay along the sea beach, and
between the storm and the flood cler-
gyman who would have been more at
home in a carpenters shop than in the
pulpit and an actress, whose beau ideal
of human life was farm house down
in the remote country, where she might
iced her ducks and chickens herself, and
superintend the dairy and the baking.
Now all these people were on wrong
roads of life; consequently could never
cultivate the hedgeside properly, but
were forced to be content with sloes,
and hips, and black berries, and anything
else that came handy and by the grace
of nature never able to raise a bushel
of grain for harvest time, or to gather
their own apples for winter storage. If
they had been on the right track for
each,I they might have cultivated every
square foot of their portions, and then
the world would have had so much adj
ded harmony between character and
circumstances, and so much more faith
fui work heartily performed, which is
always a gain to the world, never too
rich in pilgrims going the right road to
Mecca.
