''THERE are two sides to religion.
One is founded upon sel6shness, aud is
selfshness based upon self sacrificing
Others where we ought to sacrifice our
selves. The other is benefcence, found
ed upon self-sacrifice for the good oil
others instead of sacrificing then for
our own good. One clamors for VIC
tim that it may itself get clear; the
other longs for hero TO lead it to
triumph. One voluntarily lays down
its own life to save the life of others;
the other accepts the sacrifice of some
body else to save its own life. On
which religion do we stand and live to-
day."

About Post Routes and
Post Offices.

n
Horses carry the mails three miles
where railroads carry them one. Mas.
sachusetts, though gridironed with rail
roads, has one hundred and forty-six
stage coach routes to sixty-four railroad
routes. The cost is about the same; the
average cost per mile by horse power, is
eleven cents and eight miIls-the cost
by rail is two mills less. The cars car
ry the heaviest mails, however, making
the average cost of single letters by rail
much less. In this country, steam boats
carry the mails 1872 miles; railroads
63, 4S7 miles, aud horses rs, 991 miles.
The mails are rapidly increasing in
quantity, and the rate OF speed is keep
ing pace with the increase of the guam
tity. Once it took letter six weeks to
90 from New York to Boston and return
Under the management of Benjamin
Franklin, over sixty years ago, the speed
was so increased as to lessen the time
one-haIf. To-day letters go across the
continent in single week.
Over a thousand tons of letters now
cross the Atlantic every year, the
amount having doubled IN the three
years last past.
Germany has 5,720 Post Offices,
Great Britain some over 1900. The
United States has 3,244. Germany
and Great Britain post Offices net a
profit annually Of three to five millions
of dollars, while the United States loses
over five millions by maintaining them.
The utmost pains is now taken in
these three countries to insure certain
