E,rt1n's Lonely Desert.

In carth's lonely desert,
In regions above,
TO mortals and angels
There's nothing like love
1t hrightcns the landscape
Wherever we 90,
And beams like Il star
On our pathway Of woe.
When the myrtlcs ofLoya
Breathe their odois around,
Their music othope
Gives to silence q sound.
Obi dear is the spot,
Where eur glances first met;
There sorrow may linger,
Though joy forget.
All melody breathing,
All sunshine and bloom,
Love sings to our cradle.
And garlands our tomb.
Far away--far away,
Where the bright planets roll,
On there is loves home,
In the land Of the soul!

ANADyRNTURE En- DEsHABILLE.-0ne
evening last week an Island benedict was
sitting alone In his dinlng.roOm, scratch.
ing stray thoughts In his diary, when he
thought he heard music In the air, Upon
opening the shutters he plainly diStin'
guished the sweet music Of 10. Kramer's
and, which came tumbling.alODg from the
direction OF tho residence Of newly.mar-
ried pair, who had just returned from
their bridal tour. Our friend enjoyed the
delicious strains until they ceased, when
no closed the shutters and began to think
Of retiring. As he did not wish to wake
the heir Of the house, the youngest
born, he relieved himself Of his clothes
before ascending the stairs, and luttered
to his room Invested Of everything but
his shirt. Now, there was young lady,
q chum Of his wife's, spending few days
with the family, Of which fact our hero
was quite well aware. But he did not
probably entertain the idea that the
ladies might also have been attracted by
the sweet strains OF the invisible sere.

for some purpose unknown to the writer,
and lamp in hand made picturesque
and no doubt graceful detOur through
the apartment He was not little as.
tonished, however, to hear the sound Of
retreating footsteps, and upon turning
round to observe q couple Of females
making hasty exit. 1t soon occurred
TO him that his wife and her lady visitor
had been seated at the window when he
entered the room, and as his costume was
not strictly In accordance with drawing
room etiquette, the ladies had precipi.
lately yamoosed the rancho. The story
was too good TO keep, and the hero Of the
shirt scene sold It upon himself.

AN EXPEDITIONS Postal ARRANGE
MENT.-A letter which by inadvertenCe
may have had an insufficient stamp on 1t
has singular and absurd experience,
For illustration, letter Is addressed to
Smith, in this city, having ono cent
stamp on It when il should have had two,
and dropped for delivery here. The
postmaster, as instructed we presume,
faithfully forwards this insutficiently
stamped letter TO the Dead Letter Office,
The Asst. Postmaster General, presiding
over that precious bureau notifies Smith
that his department holds letter TO his
address that was not fully paid for. Smith
hastily forwards the requisite insuiIiciency
and receives his delinquent letter. Mark
the service performed by our paternal
PostolFice Department, Smiths letter
sent to Washington, the Assistant Post
master Generals letter to Smith, Smiths
letter in response, and the Assistant
Postmaster General again sending his
compliments to Smith with his much
Travelled letter.
Conundrumi II a drop.letter is short
one cent, how much is made by the de-
partment by having such an elaborate
correspondence about itP Would It not
be better, as a purely economical prop, to
let Smith have the letter, and the Gov.
eminent lose one cent? Or would not
considerable transportation be saved, and
much labor also, by having the post
master here quietly notify Smith that he
can get his letter by paying postage
Until within few months past the list Of
letters held for postage was published
weekly In the city papers.
