A Reliable Man Wanted.

:" A reliable man wanted to take
charge of farm" "a reliable man
wanted in counting house" GA reli-
able man wanted to superintend mill. F."
What demand there is for reliable men!
Young women want them for husbands,
fathers and mothers want them for sons
in-law. People in trouble inquire anx-
iously for reliable lawyer whom they
can consult; the sick want reliable
physician, the churches want reliable
man for minister, although they do
not advertise the wants in a newspaper.
There seems to be no end to tho de-
mands for reliable men. Are reliable
men so scarce that so much point is made
of getting them
We apprehend that they are not SO
plenty as they should be. Reliable
architects and contractors and engineers
are not to be found in every place, or
there would not be so many railway and
bridge accidents; cashiers and other
bank officers are not always reliable, or
there would be no defalcations. The
same may be said Of trustees or insur-
ance officers. In truth, reliable men do
not crowd one another in any class or oc-
cupation.
Young man, it is for you to determine
whether you will be reliable man or
not. 1t all depends upon yourself.
Nothing is easier; only resolve that you
will be reliable man, and stick to it
through every temptation.
PACKAGES THRoUGH THE Mail. There
is a ruling of the Postofiice Department,
which went into force short time ago,
which is not generally known, but which
is very interesting. The ruling is as
follows: All third class matter can be
registered at the same rate as that
charged for registering letters, viz: ten
cents. Third class matter comprises all
articles of wearing apparel, ETC., and the
rate for carrying is one cent for each
ounce, in packages whose weight is lin
tied to four pounds. You can order a
dozen shirts in San Francisco, and have
them registered, thus insuring against
loss, and the total cost for transportation
will not exceed from twenty-five to thirty
1--WE cents There is another grade of |
third class matter, such as books, PAM
phlets, ETC., for which the charge is one
cent for every two ounces. This also
,an be registered. The public will find
his new system to be wonderfully con-
genient, and will make use of the mails
n sending thousands of packages which
ire carried at prices by the various ex-
press companies. The latter will I'M
loubtedly object to this interference with
heir business, but the only result will
Dc an immense increase in the bulk of
he mails and the employment Of addi-
.ional force in the department TO handle
t. You can send just as many pack
lges as you please aud register each Of
hem, the only restriction being that
zach must weigh but four pounds.
