and not natures self. This idea is not
original, adds the correspondent, but
the effect is very striking.

True FrienllShiD.

True friendship is very rare in this wick
ed world, and when found it is a pearl of
great price. One may have many acGiain.-
ances, with whom they dash the foam of
the cup Of life, but few friends who stand
by them as they drink the dregs of bitter
ness. A true friend is one in whom we
may confide our troubles, certain of receiy-
ing sympathy in return, and we all know
how it lightens ones heart to confitle in
another. But what shall we say of the
one who, under the guise of friendship.
entwines himself, or herself, around our
hearts. swearing eternal fidelity as though
they wOrshippel the ground we walked on.
and then. after possessing themselves of
our secret thoughts, turn on us like Vi
per by betraying our confidence and making
a jest Of our private affairs: Surely there
is no punisbpent too severe for such peo-
pie, and unfortunately there are many of
them. After plucking and wearing the
flower Of friendship for brief period,
they cast it aside and trample it under foot
as Of too little consequence to be noted,
never needing the Oftentilnes broken heart
Of their victim. ''Bah! that Ia only one
more who was Eet wise enough to resist
my wiles," they hughingly say, not add
ing that II was through their love and ten
dcrcst feelings that they were won.

The Postal Card.
IN. y. Obserrer.1 I

i
The postal card has proved itself such a
great public convenience that it is to be
hoped any attempt to withdraw it as a
medium of communication will find no
encouragement. These cards are now
printed at the rate Of cne million per day
their manufacture being carried on by
contract in this city. and very nearly this
number is used throughout the country
every twenty-four hours.
The complaint that their sale cuts down
the revenue by reducing the sale of postage
stamps. and that they are nuisance :"
generally in the making up and distribu-
ton Of the mails. comes. of course. from
Government employees, and not from the
public. The nuisance" can be endured
by the latter in good hlmor, and if the
reverii,fe suffers the first answer will be-
curtail expenses still further. The cards
have become an institution, vetF popular
and useful one. and institutiOrI, we are
told by political economists. are things not
to he disturbed. In New York alone the
sale of the pOstals averages 5000 daily
sometimes rising to 100, 900.
1HouS;iilis sot NtIsoIis, uouDtleSs, are
encouraged to write to their friends thrO'
this cheap medium, who would otherwise
stop to count the cost of sheet of paper,
envelope, and three-cent. stamp, and thou
sands more use them on account of their
greater convenience.
We have little doubt that in the summing
up Of the current year the revenue will be
found to be increased instead Of diminish
ed BY the use of the cards. Many persons
send five or ten where they would not send
a single letter. Some send them by the
hundred. Letter writing edncates the
writer. or ought to, and is supposed to
contribute something towards q good,
social and domestic tone. So. don't abOl-
ish the postal card.

In the detection of criminals, the micro
scope has proved to be an invaluable ally.
Some interesting facts, in this connection,
were brought out in a murder case In Eng
land. A little girl was found dead with her
throat cut. Her mother was suspected of
having committed the crime, on account of
her actions. A knife was found in her
pocket, on the handle of which were sew
eral hairs, and on the blade several spots
of blood. Her explanation WAS that on
her way home she saw rabbit in trap
and cut his throat. A micrOscopical ex-
animation Of the hair showed that 1t had
come from sqsfrTel, and, - the little girl
wore q squisrel-ippet, tho evidence es
guilt was considered conclusive.
