Rev ard.

The calculation of reward for labor,
whether in the form of money or fame,
present applause or future appreciation,
incites to much endeavor and produces
much of value to society. 1t is one of the
great motive powers to human action,
and therefore we can never afford to de-
spise or to attack it. But where 1t is the
only aim, filling the mind and leav-
ing no room for any earnest desire for
the work itself to endure or to be worthy
of duration, there can be no greatness,
no fine moral character, and none of
the higher forms of human happiness

THE LETTER CARRIERS.
How They are OvorwOrked-An
Increase In tho Force Needed.

The Philadelphia Postmaster has
lately been complaining that his letter
carriers had too much work, and too
much territory to attend to, but it Is
probable If he had an idea of the work
done by some of the carriers In this city
he would no: only be astonished, but
wonder how 1t could be possible for one
man to attend to it. The Post master In
that city has repeatedly asked for an In.
crease CT the force, and few days since
it was announced that he had been au-
thorized to appoint twenty additional
carriers.
A statement of the work done by some
of the carriers of this city will be- suffi-
cient to convince any one that If an
increase in the number of carriers is
necessary in Philadelphia, 1t is doubly
so here. The district assigned to Peter
Ayers, who Is most efficient and faith
full public servant, extends from Poplar
street to the creek, and over Eleventh
street bridge, and from Sixth street to
the Brandy wine. He is obliged to go
twice each day over this route, and
twice over part of 1t, making four trips
daily, during which he walks at least
twenty five miles. The mail is generally
very heavy, especially on the first trip
in the morning.
Samuel Wood also has large route,
extending from Sixth street to the
Christiana, and from Poplar to the
creek and over Third street bridge. He
walks about az many miles each day
AZ Mr.. Ayers, and it Is probable that
his mail is fully as heavy.
Charles G. Carpenters route extends
from Third street through Browntown,
and from Jefferson to Union street.
He, however, has 1t little lighter
than the two mentioned, as he only
makes two trips day.
Thomas Pugh's route is from Jefier'
son to Union street, and from Third to
Tenth street, over which he makes two
trips day.
Isaac Mundorf has q route from Jef.
ferson to Union street and from Tenth
street to the Brandy wine, including the
Forty Acres. All these men have tc
be at the office at very early hour in
the morning, and are not done until
late hour ut night. They have heavy
burdens to carry, and are obliged 10 &C
through all kinds Of weather, for the
little messengers they bring are
oft times freighted with news that
would suffer by delay. None of these
enumerated walk less than twenty
miles daily, and in districts where the
routes are shorter, the work is almost
! as laborious, and it seems but just that
while their work is being lightened in
other cities by increasing the force, tht
same action should be taken in regard
to Wilmington, which has Post-otli CO
from (which the Government Is deriving
40 much revenue in proportion to thu
size of the city as any in this conn
try.

Elkton Bells.

Elkton can now boast Of number of
bells, and when they are all ringing at the
same time upon the pleasant Sunday morn
ing or evening, the music they make is
pleasant TO listen to. Each bell differs from
IFS nei 9 hbor in tone, to such an extent as to
make it an easy matter for the members of
the various churches to recognize the call of
their respective bells. The Court House bell
differs from all the rest, so that onr citizens
are all SO familiar with it as to recognize it's
voice at once and the clerks bell, which
rings at eight o'clock in the evenings to
notify oHr merchants that ",shHtting-up"'
time has arriye., and the Academy bell,
have voices which while differing from each
other, cannot he mistaken for any Of tue
others named. The music of these bells
can upon a pleasant evening be heard far
into the surrounding country, sometimes
when the uundifiuns are favorable, ~ far as
five miles. The bells are all Of fine tono,
save the clerks bell which sounds Il little
potty II all who hear their voices on
Sabbath day would attend service at some
one of the churches, we would guarantee at
least doubling of the congregations Of all
of them.
