A New Postal Suggestion.

II there is any point on which our
postal system does not stand in need of
improvement, it is in the cheapness of
postage. Our newspapers are carried
within the county of their publication
for nothing and everywhere else for
next to nothing, and a letter of an
ounce weight is transported from any
point to any other of our enormous
area OF 3,6OO,OOO square miles, for the
smallest unit of letter postage known
IN Chrlstendom. But far more i'm
portant. matter, and one wholly neg
lected, is that of postal delivery. In
other civilized countries, the post-ofice,

Precious Ointment.

do not keep your box of ointment,
Break 1t DER your friends to-day;
DO not keep 1t in the darkness,
Half forgotten laid away.
Little deeds of love and kindness.
Don't forget to give them now;
Don't forget to smooth the pillow,
Don't forget to bathe the brow.
Send your flowers to the living
DO not keep them for the grave
They may comfort some poor mourner,
They may strengthen, help and save.
Send them in their fragrant beauty
Show your friendship true and warm;
What would care a rosebud casket?
What would care a lifeess form?
Hearts there are with burdens laden.
Bearing bravely toll and care
Ready to receive your kindness
Should you leave your ointment there.
Don't forget the kindly counsel,
Don't forget the loving tone;
They will make the cross seem lighter
To some sorrow-laden one
All along life's rugged pathway
Stretch your hand and lift your voice.
Bringing all your love and kindness,
Making every heart rejoice.
Keep your ointment ever ready
Use 1t freely-there is room
1t will bring you richest blessings,
Smooth your passage to the tomb.

Last year disturbance occurred at the

account Of MiGiin's remarks until his

violent temper, rushed out and began
to beat Niiiliu. A great crowd gathered
about the combatants, Rathel among
them. and it was alleged that Rathel
kicked the PROSTATE man and broke
his jaw.

of the whole crime was shifted to the
