Delivering the Mail at Fayal.

The arrival of the mail throws Fayal in
to state Of excitement. Half the popu-
Ii tion then comes TO town and hot and
steaming crowd packs Itself into the one
post-Otficc that the island possesses. As
the postmaster, plainly conscious of his
Importance on an occasion which happens
only once a fortnight. advances with the
letters to the little desk which separates
the throng from the office. the stranger il
struck by the ridiculous di>propoItion be
tween the size of the crowd and that of
the packet, circumstance which j. eN-
planned by the fact that every woman eX
pecting tilliDgs from husband or son is ac-
companied apparently by the rest Of the
family. The jabber subsidies into buzz
of suppressed excitement a. the posima>-
ter adjusts his >pectacles with the most
exasperating composure. He calls out
the name on the topmost letter. shrill
voice on the confines of the crowd init
mates its destination, when half dozen
hands are stretched out to receive it and it
Is passed over the heads Of the crowd TO
| its fortunate recipient
The buzz is renewed after each an
nouncement the postmaster has constant
/ ly to repeat his demand for silence, in
which he is of course Joined by such of
tho Cio"u as nave uol fet ieceiNeu iettei'
As the delivery proceeds the crowd gets
naturally noisier and the postmaster be-
comes hot and angry with the eXertion of
shouting above the din. Although the
number of letters is -Chrstmastide
brings quite as large packet TO many a
country mouse at home-the work of dis
tribution is long, from the circumstance
that each recipient has on the average five
or six names, which Portuguese etiquette
seems to demand shall be duly set forth on
such formal occasion as the despatch of
a letter.

He had intended to educate her without

She remained through life conventional

She wa. always glad to see visitors, TO

of her intellect. Charles Dickens devoted
to her IA weli-known chapter in his ''Ameri-

where she had continuously lived, was OBJ
served, and Mrs, Julia Ward Howe, the
widow of the great teacher to whom Laura
was so greatly indebted, read to her an af-

Rev. H. NJ. Eaton, writing to the Ma
chias Republican, relates an incident that
occurred in the early days of Maine Meth
odism, which illustrates how easy it is for
a man to imagine that his own inclination
is a manifestation of the Divine will. In
the days of which Mr.. Eaton writes, it
was the custom for young ministers to
consult their presiding elders before TAX
ing a wife. Once during camp-meeting
in eastern Maine, a young minister ap-
preached the presiding elder and said he
wished to be married. Whom do you pro-
pose to marry?" asked the elder. We'll" :"
said the young man, "the Lord has made
known to me very clearly that should
marry sister Mary Turner" Il know her

will see you again before the meeting clos
es." During the week four other young
ministers consulted the presiding elder on
the subject of marriage. Each of them
gave the name Of the young woman to
whom he proposed to offer himself. They
had all prayed over the matter a great deal,
and each was certain that it was Gods de-
sire that he should marry the person
named. Neither of the FIVE young men
knew that any one else had consulted the
elder on that subject. On the last day of
the camp-meeting. at noon, the elder called
the five young ministers to his tent to re-
ceive his opinion. He said: Now,
brethren, it may be the will of God for you
to marry, but it is not His aciH that .fce
Methodist ministers should marry that lit.
tie sister Mary Turner"
