THE English postoflee authorities have a "par
cells post" which is another name for what is
known in this country second and third-cass
mail matter. Some OF the provisions of the English
law are superior to our own Instead of throw
ing aside packages on which there is insufficient
postage, as is customary here, the rules require
that a clerk shall in person receive them of the
senders, and see that the required number of
stamps is affixed. The maximum weight OF such
packages is fixed at seven pounds, and the list
of articles permissible in the mails includes
many which mere forbidden. The rates of
postage vary from two to six cents, which is
considerably lower than our own on heavier
parcels.

this ruling was correct. While iB may be true
that newspaper productions are not, as rule,
of the highest order of 'that class of writings
distinguished for beauty of style expression in
distinction from scientific treatises" which is a
definition of literature they will bear favora-
BILE comparison with much that being between
the covers of books bears the accepted badge.

THEODORE TILToN is now in Europe. His
once stately form is bent, and his long locks arc
almost silvery white. George Alfred Townsend
once said that Tilton was more sinned against
than SHINING, and perhaps he spoke truly. Ad-
uniting that Beecher was innocent Tilton has
always believed him guilty. This belief has
crushed him, and he has become changed in de-
meanor and intellect aud is prematurely aged.
Mrs Tilton is said to be somewhere in central
New Jersey, taking in sewing for a living.

Outcast nv Society.

THE folly Of young men and women who, with
out money or assured qualifications for earning
a livelihood, 20 to the large cities In expectation
of getting paying situations Immediately re-
ceives fresh Illustrations every day. OF this ma
ture is the story told by a young and pretty
woman who was arrested in New York the
other day for drunkenness. When brought into
the police court with the ragged and degraded
Migrants on either side, she endeavored in a
shamefaeed way to conceal her identity, but
finally told the causes which led to her condi-
ton, statements which were afterward corrob-
Grated She was the daughter of a Clergyman
and the widow of a country physician in Ohio,
with whom she had lived happily until his death
few months ago. After this event she collected
what money she cOnld-about $1O0-and came,
with her child, to New York, animated by
glowing hopes of going upon the stage
and attaining distinction. She had failed
to obtain a situation of this sort and with her
funds rapidly melting away, turned her atten-
tion in other directions. Nowhere could she sue
coed in getting employment until finally, with
starvation staring her in the face, she took a
place waiter girl in concert hall at a salary
OF three dollars per week. On this she had
managed to keep her little girl and herself I'M
til, overcome with the humiliation of her posi-
ton, and influenced. perhaps, by the surround
ings, she tried the masculine plan of drowning
sorrow and found herself in the station-hou
The child, which was found locked in her room
at a lodging house, where it had been without
food for a day and half, was sent to juvenile
asylum and the mother discharged-to go on,
perhaps, in the downward path in which she
had set her feet.

4 Change of Tone.

Our late disorganizing contenpora-
rieS have become exceedingly SollcitouS
all at once for the Democratic party.
For months and months we have been
urging them to hold their horses, but
the more we urged the more they would
crack whip and rush onward, "hell-bent
for Lexington" to use an expression
common in our boynood days. Now
they talk gingerly and tell us-by us
mean the papers that supported Nj.
Randall-that we must keep quiet,
must touch them up tenderlv, handle
them with care, lest we afford aid and
comfort to the enemy. This is very
pretty talk from papers that predicted
all manner of disaster to the Democratic
party in case 4 certain scheme which
they had concocted should fail of sue
cess. We sued for peace, they sowcd
the wind; and row they ;lIe suing for
help to avert the whirlwind. They
have become alarmed at the result OF
their folly, and now expect us to catch
on to their fears just rs though we had
not been pleading with them SO long
aul tendcrly, and urging them to a
more cautious and conservative course.
Well, We'll catch on in our own good
time. and We'll give the Democratic
candidate for President all the support
in our power, but we say to these late
disorganizers, now and here, that wheth-
er our support be ardent or lukewarn,
and though you e3pouse the cause with
all the artlor of enthusiasts, and pursue
the enemy as llnrelentingly as you late
" pursued one Of the truest Democrats
in the country, if defeat comes we will
shake our hoary locks at you and say,

Editors Times and Democrat:
At a regular communication of Smell
Lodge, No. 1872. A. F. NJ, held at their
hall in Middle Township, on Saturday,
the 22d, it was my good fortune to be
present and unite with the brethren in
their annual installation of officers.
The following were reelected. to serve
for the ensuing year
H, L. Rickenbaker, W. NJ; Jno. L.
Rush, S. W.; A. J. Syfret, J. W.; S. NJ.
Fairey, Treasurer; A. d. Fair, Secre-
tary; s. w. Sullivan, S. D.; P. B. Stro-
man, j. D.; G. Y. Patrick, Steward; ".
P. Ayers, Tyler.
A very large audience being in at
tendance, the hail could not accommo-
date them, and in order that all might
witness the interesting ceremoney of
the installation, the exercises were con-
Quoted in open air. The Rev. ID. w.
Cuttino Past Master officiating, who,
after performing" his duty in an impress
sive manner, delivered an oration char
acteristic Of this able Divine. HI Illus
trated very forGibly the duties and
work of the brotherhood and the grand
result to be accomplished. No one pre-
sent could fail to appreciate such a
mastery effort, on the part Of brother
c., for the good Of the order.
Dinner was announced soon after,
and such banquet-served in picnic
style"--onc seldom enjoys nowadays.
The good housewives and younger
ladies who were entrusted with this
part of the days programme did their
work to projection, and all who gather
ed around the board did full justice to
the elegant dinner.
AS your correspondent was about
saying goodbye the young people were
making preparations to "tip the light
fantastic toe" and we presume they
fingered long and late. So ended a day
Of genuine pleasure. "a. +. NJ"

: 80 Tao Ney Year.
On New Years Day ne pass another
nliie stone on our journey to the great.
Eternity, whittier We are all travelling,
aud it is Eell for us to stop and look.
back over the ground that We have
passed during the past twelve months.
d TO some It hiss been smooth and the
journey pleasant, but to others the road
! has been dark and .dreary, and the
: Journey attended with trials and annoy
s aaces. No better time Will ever present
itself for turning over new leaf" than
JANUARY I, 1884, and when You turn it
oxer be sure that it is kept clean and
bright. OF course, the sanguine man
believes that ne will have no difficulty
1 in keeping his good resolutions. He
thinks that somehow, in some mysteri-
Gus igay hidden in the glowing future,
hswill aceenp nplish won nderful things in
the way Of reform. He will stop all his
bad habits; stop chewing tobacco, re-
fsain from chickering's with his wife,
and pay for his paper. He is deteEmin-
ess that. he will contriinte no material
for the sidewalk or roadbed of the place
that is popularity supposed to be paved
with good intentions. With these COM
menaable resolutions fresh in his mem
DRY, he buys diary, sharpens zip his
pencil, braces himself, and writes them
down. Let US all deFoutly pray that
the sangiune man may be enabled to
keep every one Of his good resolutions.
We agree with Bishop Clark that many
win enter upon the New Year in a
state of great encouragement. Every
thing has gone wrong during the past
year; it was nothing buta series of dis
appointments, q blowing OF bubbles
that burst in the air, schemes That fail
eii, labors that came to- naught, aspira-
tiols that were crushed, hopes that were
were: Elighted. alThas is the use of
trying again p Let your situation be
rs desperate as you may, the meanest
thing you can do is to give up and go
J TO the bottom. When we cease to hope
we are lost. Despair is death. Keep
On hoping and keep on trying. The
light may break through the clouds
when'We least expect it. The wish of
THE TIMES AND DEMOCRAT is that ey-
sery one Of itsTeaders may have ajoyous
and happy New Year, and that the
close of the year 1884 win find them
nore prosperous than they were at its
Sapentng.
