manv, Austro- Hungary, Belgium, Denmark,
Egypt, Spain, France, Great Britain,
Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania,
Russia, Servia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey,
having been duly ratified by the United States
on the Sth Of March, 1875, and the notifications
thereof by the several contracting States having
been duly exchanged at Berne, Switzerland, on
the Sd OF May 1875, it is hereby ordered that the
uniform rates of postage to be levied and col.
lected in the United States on correspondence to
and from the whole extent of the Postal Union,
embracing the above named countries, without
distinction, shall be as follows:
A. For prepaid letters, 10 cents per Is

as continuing to form the object Of special ar
with the post offices interested) the
minimum rate OF 2 francs per kilogramme of

ed matter, ETC., and is ready by increasing the
transit rates, as permitted, to francs and so
confines respectively, to meet the wishes of

in closed mails, reciprocally granted in the exist
ing Postal Convention between the United States
and Switzerland, will be maintained.
L. The Union rates Of postage hereinbeiore
prescribed will be levied and collected on and
after July l, 1875 on the correspondence to and

There lives model man of yore, .-..
Who always did exactly right;
He never drank, nor smoke, nor swore,
And never staid out late at nighl!
He made no bets; he played no game;
To him all women were the same;
He never knew what horses ran
In truth, he was model man!
Now with this model man Of yore
The wicked world did not agree;
His neighbors voted him g bore,
His friends man of mystery.
He found himself accused of crimes
Not to be mentioned in these rhymes,
Until blind justice laid her ban
And rope upon this model man.
so, in this model man of yore,
A moral and q warning see
\ little less-not something moro
Than angels must we mortals be.
Live while you live! Smoke good ci-
gars! ...
Drink dry champagne Twang gay
guitars? =
And be as virtuous as you can
But do uot be model mar.

group Of villagers, all curious to know the

clustered around him.
He explained, in rs few words rs possi-

Then, for the first time, lie realized that he
was weak and i'll from his injuries. Seeing
his condition, two men volunteered to assist
him to his lodgings.
"Where arc you stoppinS?" asked one of
the men as they made their way out OF the

This brought Roland to the considera ton
of most important question. After what
had occurred he doubted the proprIety of

Roland was alone in his room in Mr..

came in once or twice but went right out
again, and Fanny did not visit him at all,
except 10 bring up his dinner, until just ut

"Miss Clayson," said Roland, after a
short silence, "I ain very sorry that scene
occurred this morning. 1 hope it will lead
to no unpleasantness."
"It will all be explained in few days, I
suppose said Fanny.
II hope So" was the reply. "I can't

bring it to an end immediately"

To PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT
Make strong brine and wash or wet the
wheat thoroughly; then drain, and be-
lore the wheat gets dry, sift on ashes,
and stir well, so that all the wheat may
come in contact with the dry ashes; or,
in other words, soak the wheat in
strong brine and then dry it with good
strong ashes (air-slacked lime would
probably do as well, or better), and then
it is ready for sowing. It may be pre-
pared any time when needed. but should
not stand over too long, as the vitality
of the seed might be injured. / have
