turned it over aud over in her haod and asked
the price OF postage. This was large sum.
and evidently the girl was poor, for the post
man demanded shog. Sho sighed sadly
aud said the letter was from her brother but
that she had 90 moucy, and SO she returned
the letter to the postmau. Touched with pity
Mr.. Hill paid the postage and gave tho letter
to the girl, who seemed very much embarrassed.
Scarcely had the postman turned his back
when the young iDn.keepcr's daughter con'
fessed that it vas trick between her and her
brother. Some signs on the envelope told her
all she wanted to know, but the letter contained
90 writing. I'VE are both 80 poor, she added
'that We Invented this mode Of corresponding
without paying for our letters. The traveller,
continuing his road, asked himself if system
giving place to sueh frauds was not vicious
