r 6.

DURING the week past there has been beard no
little complaint because the Postmaster General
declined to dispatch a mail for the East by the
bark RalqkGua which sailed on Thursday. The
last mail went forward by the P. NJ. steamer on
Monday, somewhat ahead Of time. and took a
large amount Of exchange and many business
letters, and parties Interested were desirous Of
sending duplicates by the first following vessel.
Moreover a mail was received from the East by a
sailing vessel on Wednesday, and the opportunity
to answer letters on Thursday was considered a
fortunate circumstance. For these reasons. no
little dissatisfaction was expressed at the failure
10 make up a mail from hence by the Postmaster
General. That Official has stated his intention
however to dispatch a mail on Monday next by
the ship Cor. GoOdCin, if she goes, and gives
as a reason for not sending by the Rdlakdud,
that the cost is two cents a letter sea postage,
and that an economical management of the Office
forbids the too frequent sending Of mails.
1t is true that letters may be and are sent
through the cOnsignees Of vessels, who when no
regular mail Is dispatched are generally kind
enough to keep a letter baE open for the accom-
mediation Of the public. But still this mode is a
departure from the legitimate course, and is not
satisfactory; besides the general public cannot
avail themselves Of it. The Post Office is estab-
lished for the use Of the public, and in no coun-
try is expected to be a source of revenue; on the
contrary if IL at any period pays its own expenses
from its receipts, it will generally be conceded
that the time has then come to reduce the rates
for postage. We doubt if any one could be
found to make complaint if, by reason OF fire.

The intelligent taxpayer would consider the
money well spent in the public service.
The Hon. Mr.. Money, who recently visited
these Islands on a pleasure trip, and who holds
the important position in the U. s. Congress OIL
Chairman Of the House Committee on Pos
Offices and roads, made a remark IN our hearing
which struck US as quite pertinent here as well al
elsewhere. Said he: - No reform in Pos
Office affairs ever comes from the Post Office
itself: it must be effected from the outside" i
our community desires to see a change in thu
mode and the number of mails dispatched hence
to the East-and our business relations abroad
seem to demand 1.-THE movement must original,
in The community itself. aud it must consist o
something more forcible than a mere grumbl'
among business men.

Then know that win catch it, and my nesh in

As listen to the patter of the shingle on my

Every tiuEle of the shingle has an echo and a
sting,
And thousand burning iancies into active be-

And a thousand bees and hornets meath my coat

As listen to the patter of the shingle, Oh so
warm.
In splutter comes my father-whom supposed
had gone
To survey the situation and tell her to lay it on;
To see her bending DER me as listen to the
strain
Played by her and by the shingle in a wild and
weirod refrain.
In sudden intermission, which appears my only
chance,
say "Strike gently, mother, or you'll split
my Sunday pants"
She stops moment, draws nor breath, the shin
