WASHINGTON, ID. u, March 10, 1851.
The point where government may interfere
with The mails which it agrees TO carry and
the degree of respect it should pay TO private
kilograms sent from one person TO another,
are under consideration not only by Con-
Gregs but By the people. Lately the Post
master Genera. issued orders fCrbiddlng the
delivery of letters to persons known 10 be
connected with certain lotteries. Because OF
a conviction that he had exceeded his author
ity. or because of influence brought to bear
on him. he has rescinded all such orders.
The subject is very delicate one, and IS moi
relieved of its embarrassments by the terms
of the law under which the Postmaster Cen
eral acted He is anxious for further leglsla-
ton, more clearly defining his duties aud
powers As 10 the inviolability OF telegrams

of all that heir nefghbors are doing and say

THREE ANGELS.

They say this life is barren, drear, and cold,
Ever the same sad song was sang OF Old
Ever the same long weary tale is told,
And to our lips il held the cup Of strife,
And yet-a little love can sweeten lie.
They say onr hands may grasp but Joys de-
strOyed.
Youth mas but dreams, and age an aching
void,
Whose Dead Sea fruit long, long ago has
Whose night with wild, tempestuous storms
is rife
And vet a little hope can brighten life.
They saw we fling ourselves in wild despair
Amid the broken treasures scattered there,
Where all is wrecked, where all once promised
And stab ourselves with sorrow's two-edged
knife
And vet little patience strengthens life.
Is it, then. true, this tale OF bitter g11et,
OF mortal anguish finding no relief:
Lo! midst the winter shines the laurePs lear ,
Three Angels share the lot OF human strife,
Three Angels giorify the path OF life
Love, Hope, and Patience cheer us on our
way,
Love, Hope, and Patience form our spirits
stay,
Love, Hope, and Patience watch us day by
day, .,
And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernai,
Until the Earthly fades in the Eternal;
