Hlegible POstmarks.

COMPLAINT is made by correspondent
of the difficulty he has in desciphering
postmarks in cases where it is necessary
to do SO. This is but one of numerous
letters heretofore received on the same
subject. Many of the post. office people
seem to think that the only use of the
office stamp, containing the name and
date, is to cancel the postage stamp; and
the postmasters who write the postmark
seem to think it of no kind of account
whether they make it legible or not. But
the postmark has distinct use and pur-
pose, and its legibility is sometimes a
matter of the highest importance. The
mere circumstance that it is required to
be placed on letters ought to teach all
postmasters and clerks that legibility is
an essential part of the order; otherwise
they might as well blur the outside of a
letter with the end of charred stick, or
smear it over with the end of the thumb,
after dipping the latter into an ink-pot
Indeed, some of our American postmarks
look as if they had been made in much
ruder ways, An English postmark al
ways looks tidy, and as the post.oflces
there handle larger numbers of letters in
proportion to population than our Amer.
ican offices, we have never been able to
understand why our postmarks cannot be
made as legible and to look as neat

one way from the building; he another.
Her face pale, her lips quivering; his,
cold and proud and determined.
1t was the next afternoon.
Elma was passing through the large
hall, with its dim, religious light. She
did so silently, sadly, not, as usual, sing

as was her wont of summer afternoon
She called the young girl to her side, and
said, solemnly:

retort, full of bitter sarcasm, and she

Miss Sophronia looked after her curious.

How strangely concern of mind affects

Elma wandered listlessly around the
shaded grounds for little, then sat
wearily down on rustic seat, where a
rift of thick foliage let the sunlight fall q
silver streak at her feet. So absorbed was
she, she did not hear the gate swing, nor
yet step on the long winding path, nor
was conscious of his presence until lie

culver with the intensity of the mo-

He broke the silence.
GLOW many lifetimes is it, Elma, since
that day ?" He said that day, simply as.
sertihg the day of their lives. Always
before he had called her Miss Elma, now
he only spoke her name. The quick
color dyed the cheeks that had been pale
for week, He went on quietly, for all
the glad flash in his grave eyes, at the

"Elma, have seen so much meaning

ago, in utter contempt, / vowed l would

She did not look at him he never took
his eyes from her flushed face.
"Elma, have kissed you"
This assertion was certainly uhde.
Diable.
She turned her face impetuously away

mouth, he brought to view, saying
"Elma, you have made me love you,

An hour later Miss Sophronia fully
comprehended the situation, and under
the genial influence of Ralph Hartford's
courtly manner, for little lost even her
own concern of mind"
When the stately tea, with its old tine
ceremonies, was over, Ralph Hartford
and Elma were on the piazza. He was
bidding her goodnight, and saying, with
his quizzical raising of the eyebrows
"Elma, that was only celebrating the

THE CONCERT.

sucH concert, dear, as I've had tonight
Full Of sweet sound and deep delight
And yet the "house" was poor:
Poor, II you count by crowded seats;
But judging, only by glad heart beats,
'Twasa splendid house, I'm sure.
First, Baby sang as well as she could
Some sweet little notes that [ understood;
And wee Kate's chirp or a laugh broke out,
As Willie ran in with merry shout;
The pussy purred on the rug In state,
And the good clock licked, "Its late it's late |"
While over the fire the kettle sang
It's CHEEKY song with the least little twang
That was Part First, You must know, my dear,
When only we five were there to hear,
The fire cracked applause;
The baby's soft little pat-a-cake
Made reckless ENCoREs for the music's sake,
And pussy lOurished her paws.
Well, the Second PartS All that was fine
Fine to the hearts core, lover minei
For over the kettles winsome plant,
And the baby's breathing, sweet and faint,
And over the prattle Of viii and Kate,
And the clocks impatient "Latei it's latei'
! heard the blessedest sound of all
A click OF the latch, a step in the hall
And Home, Sweet Home" pulsed all the air
AS you came calling up the stair.
