Post once Notes.
With the great reduction Of poAtaQs

With the great reduction Of postage .
few years ago, came those useful little
gum-tickets, postage stamps. Their OBJ
jects we're convenience TO the public,
saving Of time to the post-masters and
letter senders. Thus, dollar invested
in stamps or stamped envelopes saves
making change over thirty times, and
business men and all sorts Of correspon.
dents prepay their postage, at the count
ing-room, at home, or wherever they
happen to be by simply affixing the
stamp or using the stamped envelope.
Yet with all these facilities, many people
and even business men buy one stamp at
a time and then expect the post-masters
to " lick" them at that. Provide your.
selves beforehand" with stamps, and the
whole thing is easy and pleasant all
round.
1t is supposed by many that letters are
more sure to 60" when handed to P.
M. or assistant, than when quietly drop
ped into letter box, or that if half
covered with requests, for haste, &C.,
they will go faster. These are simply
mistakes. Mails are kept open as late
as sure connections can be made and all
letters and papers despatched. Then by
the aid of sharp eyed agents on the pos.
tai cars, attendants a. the post.offices,
carriers by steamboats,, stages, and the
mounted courier, away they 60 to the
great cities, the thrifty villages and the
remotest hamlets in our ever spreading,
ever glorious Union. A wonderful braid.
ed net work os intelligence, industry and
care of convenience, joy, sorrow, profit,
loss, death and life is the postal system.
The mail bags are full of them. One
of the vexations of all who sort letter
mails is the use of small, often very small
envelopes, which are often directed in
the most tiny and delicate penmanship
which fair lady hands can use. Then
too perhaps these little letters are direct
ed with poor or pale ink, making severe
tax upon the eyes, and loss of precious
moments while Jehu is yelling for his
mail bags at the door and his impatient
steeds are prancing to be away. Use
good sized envelopes, say number four or
fives, direct with good black ink and
bold plain hand, and 10000 post-masters
and their helpers will thank you.
