Postal Gard Writing.

The Post Office Department regards
postal cards as inviolable, SO far as it's
agents are concerned, as sealed letters.
No post office official has any more
right to inspect what is written on q
postal card than he would have to open
Il sealed letter and acquaint hims If
with its contents. The publicity given
to messages written on postal cards
may be avoided by the use of invisible
being written with common ink. This
checks the inquisitiveness of postoffice
clerks, who have not the time to make
application. In France invisible ink
is sold for tnis purpose.-Daiiy Jour-
nal, 25th.

A Kentucky Poet Oh the Paternal
Affections Of the President


General Grant has had hard time
of it with the politicians abusing him.
But that was nothing compared to his
present peril. The Poets and the
"picturs" are after him, and tough as
he is, they will pierce his cuticle, even
rs the gad-fy finds his way under the
tough hide of the rhinoceros, which
turns the hunters bullet. In che
Louisville Ledger appears a caricature
of "My Son Fred"-"as he walks
among the veterans" in mouth,
like papa-with the following verses
appended:
Soldiers who with Shei man bled,
Braves whom Thomas bravely led,
Welcome now your Colonel Fred,
Fresh from the Academy.
Now 5 the day and now's the hour.
Swift skip to place and power;
What care faces sour
PAPA loves his family.
What care Tor pc copies chaif
Sinecured on Shrrry's stan!
Let Them curse or let them laugh
PAPA loves his family.
Better far than Forsyths scars,
Better than service calendars;
My claims to rank are my rapas,
And papa loves his family.
I've served the Stately proxy well;
I've served in person, toO-can tell
OF oceans wild tumuituous swell,
When was Saa-sick, dreadtully.
I've heard the Paris midnight chimes,
In London I've seen jolly times.
And kissed the girls meath Berlin lines,
With faithful aSsiduity.
Besides, to ve me, if inapt,
With veteran subs m handicapped,
And into Sheridan 5 staff m clapp,d-
For papa loves his family.

Tins grief follows another in quick sue

while ago. SO true the proyerb: ''Sor-
row comes not alone" THIS second be-,
reavement is sadder even than the first.

daughter was Just blooming into young

Did not Thy wing of love
Come brightly wattiu through the gloon,
Our peace branch from above
Yet death is no curse. 1t is a bless
ing in disguise, for III is the glory Of God
to conceal a thing" 1t is His way first
confusion, then order first darkness, then
the light Weeping only endures for the
night, aud JOY cometh in the morning"
What a bright word morningis! Death.

blesscth those who die, aud those who
live. Those who die it sets free, and
those who live it reminds of their home.
Darkness shows us worlds light never
saw by day"
To the young, death has esteemed a
special blessing. g
Their lives cit of
In their young prime of years, are like
green herbs.
With which We strew the heaTses Of our
friends;
For their virtue, gathered when they're
young,
Before they wither or corrupt, is best;
SO they, in virtue, are the best for death.
While yet they have not lived to such ar
age
That the increasing canker o ftheir sins
Hath spread too far upon them"

DIcY was a good girl. In the words
Of one who knows; ''She was known only
to be loyoa,"-a highsr praise and a
brighter glory to those who win it, than
are the jeweled coronets that sparkle on
the brow of royalty. She had given her
life to Christ, and that made it beautiful.
She had not connected herself with any
christian sect, a matter of very secondary
importance. The sister aud The brother
have both ''crossel over the river, and
are resting under the shade of the trees"
They await there, in white raiment, the
coming Of those they left weeping On this
side. Who Will cross over next?
