5 of mail steps around with agility that is sur
prising compared with his ordinary move
ments, and hands the lady several letters, and
! as many copies of religious papers, "monthlies'
and tracts, as she can well hold in her white
! and delicate hands. She passes quietly out
|. and away and when she breaks the seal OF one
of those letters it will read all about her hus-
| pulpits, next Sunday, and she's the minister's
wife. About this time the village school will
close for the afternoon and every pupil from
two years upward will rush up to the delivery
with, ''Any mail for our folks ?" 'Has my
| sister Sal got letter 2" ''Mother says how
there orter be letter here fur her." "Why
didn't fathers paper come yesterday" ''Say,
haint there suthin' fur us" etc., etc, This
noise and rush subsidies at last. Then comes
IN the man who has not had letter in two
years but inquiries regularly three times
every day if there is a letter for him ::
and another who asks for a letter,
and when told there is none, says,
"Wel, now, that's strange. don't see into
it," The postmaster knows these fellows and
their occupations, and SO does everybody else.
Next comes a tall slim man with ''lean and
hungry look" as Shakespeare has it, of a
thoughtful and puzzled expressionA His nose
is generally the most prominent fea Azure about
him, and has an inden;ure each eide of it, like
fissuresin mountains side. where the inevita-
BILE nose glasses have rested for years. The
courteous postmaster hands HIM several letters,
more circulars and few papers. The first
letter he opens is an urgent request to be pres
ent and take an active part at teachers
institute meeting. The circulars are address
ed to the Chairman of the school board"
and speak in glowing terms of ''patent desks
and the New series of Geos revised geogra-
phies," &c, &c. Well, he's the Professor"
and has been the teacher of the high school
and at the head of educational matters in the
town for years. Then there walks up spruce
youth with an adolesCent mustache whose
puniness it is painful to see, and anxiously
peers into box g. If it should contain a cor
pulent letter you will see flush of Joy like
au Italian sunset spread all over his face, and
he will eagerly say, "1'll take that letter,
please" Everybody knows he is lover and
that the letter is from his girl, land that it will
so charmingly commence, ''My dearest Aon-
TO-" might tell how the man who expects
dun walks along witha hang-dog expression
and sides up to the delivery and looks pleased
when the postmaster says there is nothing for
him. Of the deathly countenance of those

No, SIR!-A Scotch minister once said no
woman could bear pain as we'll as man.
That is not SO. The fact is generally the
other way. Mrs Edward Meyers, of Rondout,
N. T., submitted to the operation of the re-
moval OF her hand by amputaton, without
taking ether, or moving muscle or uttering a
groan DIR. Kennedy also of ROndout N.
Y, who performed the operation, said he
never saw such heroism. The auy's disease
was erysiDelas and afterwards the Doctor
gave his ''Favorite Remedy" to cleanse the
Blood. Mrs. Meyers is now well and strong.
