THE POST OFFICE.

lA1 AV0x VEZ1C0s
Owing to the fact that there are still a
few persons who do not understand how
to transact post-office business properly,
the Department have issued series of
"rules and regulations" for the benefit OF
post-office patrons which are well for each
to remember and follow:
Article I.-Concerning Mailing of Let
rs.'-Never buy any postage stamps.
Hand your letter to the P. NJ. and ask him
II he can change aV. If he can't, tell him
you'll hand it to him some other time. ct
will not be necessary to do SO, however,
as three cents are nothing.)
Article I.-When you hand your letter
to him, do not by any means forget to tell
him to be sure to have that 60. Qf you
do not give this warning, he will be very
apt to keep it in his office long time)
| BY feigning deafness when the P. NJ. tells
you there is nothing for you." you can
have the pleasure of hearing him repeat it
three or four times, which is very anus
ing. aA
Art. III.-Always remember NOT to put
your letters in the letter-box Uf you do
the r. M. will not have SO much business
|
Der also that the P. NJ would consider it
quite unkind in you to have your letters
stamped by any one but himself, thereby
depriving him Of recreation for which by
nature and the force of habit he should be
SO well calculated. And then YOU can
vary the monotony of his otherwise hum.
drum and insipid existence considerably,
by having your letters addressed by him
occasionally or Offner If Won can thinE of
it.
Art. IVs-'Tis well to ask him how long
before you ought to get an answer to your
letter; of course he can't tell, but just see
how close he can guess.
