PREPAID POSTAGE on NEWSPAPERS.
Postal Progrcss-Important to Publish
ers and the Public.

Postal PrOHrcss-ImpOrtant to Publish
and the Public.
The present laws Ia regard to the charging and
collection OF postage on newspapers and periodl-
Gale addressed to regular subscribers have been in
operation for many years, but are to be replaced
on and after the 1st Of January, 1875, by law
passed az the last session Of Congress which will
afford much relief to publishers as well as to the
postal authorities. Under the present system
much embarrassment and confusion has existed
a. all post ofces in regard to this matter. 1t be-
ing impossible to know from external indications,
whether the postage on mall matter OF this sort
was prepaid or not, the consequence has been
endless disputes and Misunderstanding between
postmasters subscribers, publishers, clerks and
letter carriers as to whether said postage might,
could, would should or had been paid.
Another result has been great loss to the postal
revenues from the failure Of postmasters to collect
such postage-not necessarily through wilful neg
lect but often through sheer inability to "render
unto Cesar' his dues because OF the imp0ssibility
OF deciding with certainty what belonged to
Cesar and what did not. At the New YORK office
it was long since discovered that TO follow accu-
ratey the track of each newspaper and periodical
addressed to a subscriber In the city so as to Sc
cure the collection of the postage which might be
due thereon would be task OF great magnitude
involving not only much hard work, but dis:
agreeable amount OF "vexatiOn Of spirit" and
likely to appreciate the fact that the defective laws
and not the Post Office officials were responsible
therefor The dlsagreeable task was therefore
avoided as tar as possible-the clerks dong their
best to secure "Uncle sam" what was unquestion-
ably his due but leaving doubtful cases TO settle
themselves as pleasantly as possible.
The Postmaster OF New York, however soon
after his appointment, estab ished, with the as
sistance OF the Auditor OF the Post ONCE, system
whereby close and accurate account OF oil post.
age due and prepaid on subscribers papers and
periodicals has been kept. The result has been q
marked addition to the revenues Of the depart
ment. as Is shown by the following comparative

source during the last quarter OF 1872 and during
the year 1878, and for 1874 to date:-

we need it now for all reasons. We think We
can find through it absolute knowledge, COM
preferable law, q sufficient cause, q personal
ity for man and for God, and an interpreta-
ton Of the universe which will treat all things
according to their natures and yet preserve
the unity and GROWING end of all.
We should use the higher lights of the soul.
Then out of all this chaos of broken lines, and
conflicting laws we construct true philosophy.
We indeed need not look in vain who have
learned from the lips Of one who sits at the
feet of the Master of life and sees the recon
Citation of Law and Love in the Supreme
Good. This is the regeneration of Philoso-
ply. You cannot construct a complete phi
losophy without first seeing the complete rev.
elstion.
There are three revelations Of truth accessi-
BILE to the mind. First and remotest, the re-
Election of God in Nature. Next above, His
reflection in the soul of man. Highest, the
personal revelation of Himself. The last was
indispensable. The need of it was the deep
est fact in man, and it was that this revela-
ton had first to teach.
Christianity-Christt the Savior-is thus the
master key of philosophy. Here are answered
all the yearning questions of the soul. Com
pare the despairing tone of the old testament
with the triumph of the new. Compare Solo
mon and Paul. One, King in highest splen-
dor, died wretched slave; the other, the
least of the servants of Jesus Christ, died a
conquorer Of the world. This is a true philoso-
ply.
This spiritual revelation is also the master
key of science. Even nature could not be un-
derstood before. The yelled mysteries of all
human creeds confess this despair. So did the
veil of the Jewish Tabernacle symbolic the
mysterious order of the creation hid from NOR
tai eyes. But when the great revelation was
complete, the spirit of Love broke through all
wells. Thenceforward all mystery was made
known. This was the reach of that glorious
gospel the apostles SO loved to magnify. This
10 the reconciliation Of God and his universe.
It 10 the reconciliation of man and his situa-
ton.
Let US then while we study facts and accept
only facts, recognize the highest. Let us
cherish that in US which is spiritual. Hold
inward truths-poetry which sees the soul OF
things-the ideal, the perfect of thought and
aspiration. The weak will follows the in.
finite wish, though afar. Above all, recognize
the deepest fact, mans need of God. We
must come to this-to be willing to be taught
willing to be saved. All history is full of the
pitiable fate of those who would be self
saviors. So have been wrecked the highest
intellects; so did the brightest angel fall.
Accept the revelation, and greve not the
spirit of saving truth. Count it not weak
ness to acknowledge this, and to guide life
and thought by this ennoblng trust-tha'
obedience, which is truest freedom to that
Living Will which 10 highest Law.
