people on the face Of the earth. With
lollypops for girls, %treacle for flap
jacks, sugar for cakes, tea coffee and
pies, we devour 100000 tons and
100000 h~ogsheads of molasscs, not to
mention a large amount os honey and

sweetness of our dispositions.

The newspaper fraternity congratu-
late themselves over the new postal
law recently put in force by TIC post
Office department. 1t makes the tax
ing of i newspaper and a refusal to
pay for the same theft, and any per-
son guilty of such an action is liable
to criminal proceedings, the same as
if he had stolen goods to the amount
of the subscription. Hereafter it will
not be considered a very shrewd
scheme to take a newspaper from the
post-otiice for a year and then inform
the publisher that you never ordered
it.
