Pacific cities; where the cost, by express,
was three per cent. for coin, it is now sent

ton Of Superintendent Bangs and Colonel
Wood, assisted by attentive postal clerks,
all the way through from San Francisco to
New York and Boston. The activity of
the working of the miners in the mineral
districts of the West, has rendered this
in speedy transit of valuable
mail matter, movement of necessity, as
well as source of revenue to the Depart
ment, of no inconsiderable amount. After
the completion of the Missouri River bridge
at Omaha, greater facilities will be afforded
for the speedy transit of those valuable
missiles. Meanwhile we shall regard this
Omaha as our general headquarters, where
we congregate tri-weekly. OCCASIONAL.

Footsteps Of the Angels.
BY II. W. LONGFELLOW.

When the hours of the day are numbers
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slumbered
To holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, the true-hearted,
Come to visit me once more.
He, the young, the strong who cherished
Noble longing for the strife,
By the roadside fell and persisted,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spoke with us on earth no more.
And with them the being beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now saint in heaven.
With slow and noiselsss footstep,
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars so still and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Utter not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips of air.
Oh, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If I remember only
Such as these have lived and died.

TO LET.

To be let at a very delicate rate,
A snug little house in fine, healthy state;
IT'S bachelors heart, and the agent is
chance,
Affection the rent-to be paid in advance.
The owner, as yet, has possessed it alone,
SO the fixtures are not of much value; but
Twill be furnished by Cupid himself, if a
wife
Take a lease for the term of her natural
life.
The tenant will have few taxes to pay
Love, honor, and-heaviest item-obey.
As for the goodwill, the owners inclined
To have that, if agreeable, settled in kind.
Provided true title, by proof, can be shown
To heart unencumbered' and free as his
own.
So ladies, dear ladies, pray do not forget,
Here's an excellent bachelors habitation
to let.

A LITTLE HERo.-A boy in the town of
Weser, in Germany, playing one day with
his sister of four years old, was alarmed by
the cry of some mon who were in pursuit
of mad dog. The boy suddenly looking
round saw the dog running toward him,
but, instead of making his escape, he calm
ly took off his coat and wrapped it round
his arm, boldly faced the dog, and, holding
out the arm covered with the coat, the ami
NAL attacked it, and worried the coat, until
the men came up and killed the dog. The
men reproachfully asked the boy why he
did not run and avoid the dog, which he
could have done so easily. eyes," said the
little hero, 81 could have run from the dog;
but, if had, he would have attacked my
sister. To protect her, l offered my coat
that he might tear it.

The Millerites, after numerous disap-
pointments, have figured their sure and
final ascent for the 18th of February next.
We would not be harsh about the matter,
but we do hope they have had their last
disappointment.
We would illustrate our feelings by story.
Peter Cartwright, the pioneer Methodist,
used to be annoyed by a noisy but not over
pious sister, who would go off on the high
key every opportunity she got. At an an
mated class meeting one day the surcharg-

SAVING WOOD.

A street further on, a woman from 40 to
so years of age was saving wood, while
two men were splitting it. The saw went
through the log with slow, heavy sound;
it was near the close of the day, and her
energies seemed we'll nigh exhausted. We
hear much of the grace and beauty of
woman, but as wood-sawyer she certainly
does not look her best.
A house was being built; it had already
reached its third story, and the brick-layer
had the honor of having women for his
hod-carriers. The women didn't mount on
ladders, but walked up gradual ascent
that was built round the sides of the scat
folding. The hods were square with four
handles, and it took two women to man
each hod. Munich seems to have special
preference for women as street laborers.

A good story is told of Miss Lane while
she was at the Executive Mansion. A
photographer presented her with an album
containing forty-two different views of Miss
Lane. Jones remarked on seeing it, that
it was the most Miss-a- Laneous book he
had ever seen.

And the few men without origin who
hold the city fast are also men of exceed
ingly little intellect and knowledge, mere
Falstaff's band, who are repulsive to the
people they debauch, and seem even SO
after they fail to be engaging. In short,
the direct penalties of universal suffrage
in great cities are visible here. The i'm
mense constituency of the Tammany Ring
is probably the legitimate majority of all
the voters of New York; but when there
is any doubt on this point the ballot boxes
are stuffed up to the amplest margin of
certainty.
