Salt makes us squirm just in proper

If you are of great value expect
great trials and crosses. 1t always
takes the grindstone to develop the
full worth of the diamond.
Some of us speak words that
touch roughly the character or bus
mess of our neighbors and they think
little of it, when the mere thought OF
a tune on Sunday quicker than Old
Hundred gives us a regular electric
shock of horror.

food can be concentrated. The bread

Another writer gives the account

least, to some lattitudes:

Ascertaining that the seat was not

The British Posi- OGoe.

One Of the most widely extended, perfectly or
ganized and conducted institutions in the world,
is the British Post Office. Its branches, extend
ing as they do to every nook and corner Of the
Three Kingdoms the perfect system with which
it is conducted insuring with an astonishing GER
tainiy, the safe delivery Of every letter or pack
age iutrusted to its care, is truly wonderful when
We consider the enormous amount of business it
is called upon to perform. Nothing but the most
perfect system, coupled with the greatest faith
fitness and zeal on the part of those employed in
that department of the public service could so eff
fectually and perfectly make it the inestimable
blessing it now is to the British public.
From the recent report of the Postmaster
General, We take the following facts which viii
give our readers an idea of the magnitude of the
labors performed BY the Post Office throughout
the United Kingdom, and the remarkable rapid.
ty with which from year to year tits increasing.
The number of letters delivered in the United
Kingdom il 1870 was s62.7 $4,000, VIZ: 7I427s-
900 in England, es,2s5OOO in Scotland, 65I7s,-
600 in ireland, being 81 to each person in Eng
