TROUBLE WITH THE POSTAL CARDS.
The alacrity with which the American
mind seizes upon the postal cards,
wherever they have penetrated, as a
cheap and safe method of rending the
peace of happy families, shows that
there is fun and misery ahead. There
was young man of Utica, nice young
fellow, just home from college for little
vacation bis father destined him for the
ministry. Well, postal card came to
him, the other day, on which was a bill
for wine, gin and cigars. The father
got hold of it, of course, and how much
stock does he take in his sons piety now :?
A Philadelphia gentleman, of known
probity and correct business habits, was
pleasantly informed, the other day, by
postal card, that: Unless that small bill
for washing was settled, Mrs. Mullony
would bring suit before an alderman. J"
Poor man, it cut him to the heart, for
his clerks saw it, and he feels like a
sheep thief. Another Philadelphia man
received this suggestive epistle:-
Dear Gus: I will be on at 6 P NJ. Put bottle Of
Rd3derer on ice. Yours J.T v.
"Gus" is church deacon, man of
stainless reputation, and an exemplary
Christian he doesn't know "Rederer "
from fusil oil. But the post,office clerks,
the carrier and his family saw that card,
and it is a thorn in his side that they
think he is accustomed to drink iced
Rederer" with al. T. v" And a
man is SO helpless, too. He may get a
bushel of cards every day, each one con.
tanning villainous libel, but he has nc
redress. A population that will stand

A Heroic GIRL A young girl
named Lottie Dougherty recently died at
Millville, N. T., from the effects of a
wound sustained by her during a success
full effort to save nearly thousand peo-
pie. In August last, according to the
Millville Republican, the deceased, while
occupying the post of telegraph opera
tor at Eagle Station, on the line of the
Pennsylvania Central railroad, was
placed in position of responsibility
which might have proved too much for
most men. During thunderstorm an
immense tree was struck by lightning
and thrown across the track. Almost at
the moment, the telegraph apparatus
was disabled
Finding it impossible to send mes
sage to warn the traia of danger, the
brave girl seized red lamp, and ran up
the line swinging it over her head. The
engineer saw the signal in time to avoid
fearful disaster. The engine ran
against the tree, however, with sufficient
force to disconnect heavy branch,
which struch the girl on the shoulder,
and inflicted injuries that resulted in her
death. The passengers were so grateful
for their escape that an attempt was i'm
mediately made to reward her; but she
firmly declined to accept anything for
having done her duty. Such acts Of
personal heroism should not be allowed
to 90 unrewarded, and the men and
women who were on the train that Au.
gust night might have now an opportu.
nifty to mark their appreciation Of poor
Lottie's bravery by causing handsome
monument to be erected to her memory,

when the Laurels Bloom.

''IThen the Laurels Bloom"
In his last days Commodore Maury express
ed wish that il his remains were carried t
fredericksburg, they should be borne through
the Blue Ridge in Spring, "Vhen the laurel
bloom."
Round his dying couch his dearest,
Weeping, praying, ministering stood
Those the closest and the nearest,
Of his name and klndrsd blood.
Sailors On the distant billow-
Men OF every race and land
Blessed the head upon that pillow,
Blessed that tireless, patient hand.
He hsd seen the aurora streaming
Ger the trackless wastes of white
Watched the iceberg awful cleaning
Through the wond' rops Polar night.
Tropic lands had poured before him,
Wasteful wealth of life and love;
Laden paint trees bending Ger him;
At his feet the coral grove.
Through the night-watch on the osean,
AS upon tie de9k ne turned,
W cary OF the waves wild motion
Not for these his heart had yearned-
But the Blue Ridge Mountain passes
Rose before him either side
Clustering thick With rosy masses
Laurel blooms-the mountains pride,
Now, when lfes long voyage was over
And the blessed port in sight,
Still his heart looked back-a lover
10 each blue and lessening height:
If you lay me with my kindred,
Take me n 0t in winter gloom;
Bear me- dear ones, through my mountains
Yonder, when the laurele bloom u
"When the laurels bloom" o sailor
Say st thou when the Iaurels bloOm?"
They are blooming now and ever,
