The First Postage stamps.

The first postage stamps issued by the
government were the denominations Of five
and ten cents. These stamps are now OBJ
solete and they would not be recognized
by the postofiices. The five cent stamp
contained portrait OF Franklin, made
after painting by John b, longacre, in
which the first postmaster general is pre-
sented wearing IA white neckerchief and n
coat with fur collar, The color Of the
stamp is light brown and there is Dor
der of fine, straight lines around the entire
stamp. The ten cent stamp contained a
portrait ST Washington made from Stew
arts painting; its color was black and it
had in the upper corners the letters ~
S" These two stamps were all that were
used until 1851, when letter postage was
veduced to three cents and a new series OF
stamps came In,
All Of these stamps are now obsolete, but
they included eleven different 1enomna
tions. There was one cent stamp, three
cent stamp and five cent stamp. There
were also ten, twelve, twenty-four, thirty
and ninety cent stamps; and in addition to
these two carrier tqR-nps, each of which
cost one cent. These stamps all bore the

PLEASURES OF MEMORY

What blessed thing ia memory
How it brings up tho pleasures OF tho
past, and hides its unpleasantnesses
You recall your childhood days, do YOU
not, and wish they would returnp You
remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant ones are forgotten.
Perhaps to your mind comel the face OF
some Friend. II was once u pale, sad
face. IL showed marks OF pain, lines OF
care. II seemed to bo looking into tho
hereafter, the unknown future. And
then you recalled how u frightened, how
II recovered its rosy hue, how II became
o picture OF happiness and Joy. Do you
remember these thingsp Many people
do, aud gladly tell how the health re-
turned, how happiness came back, how
the world seemed bright, They tell
how they were once weak, nerve
less, perhaps in pain, certainly un-
happy. They tell OF sleepless nights,
restless days, untouched food, un-
strung nerves. And then they
tell how they became happy, healthy
and strong once more, You have
heard il often in the past, have you
notP You have heard people describe
how they were cured and kept in health Z
You certainly can remember what IL 10
that has so helped people in America.
Itnot, listen TO what Mrs. Annie Jenness-
Miller, who is known universally as the
great dress retormer, says; "Six years
ago. when suffering from mental care
aud overwork, received the most pro-
nounced benefit from the use of that
great medicine, Warmers Safe Cure"
All now YOU remember. Now you re-
call how many people you have heard
say this same thing. Now you recollect
how much you have heard OF this great
Cure. Now you are ready to admit that
memory is usually pleasing, that the
highest pleasure comes from perfect
health, aud that this great remedy has
done more TO produce and prolons
health than any other discovery ever
known in the entire history OF the whole
world.

A STRIPPING with shock OF yellow hair
His own rare songs, In mirth or sorrow made,
But tender all. and fair.
And as the years rolled by saw him not.
But still his songs full many time sung
And thought of him as one who has the lot
To be forever young.
Until at last he stood before mine eyes
An age bent man, who trembled DER his
staff;
Ny sight rebelled to see him in such guise,
Ripe for his epitaph
grieved with grief that to a death belongs
How Time is stern had forgot, in truth,
And how that men wax old, whereas their

ages in the grasshopper stricken regions

grasshoppers can easily be driven like

may be driven into those nets and easily
