a POSTAGE STAMP.

Montenegro has issued a jubilee post
age stamp in honor of the two hun
dredth anniversary Of the Niegoch dy-
nasty.
There are 10000 post Offices in the
United States, against 10000 in Great
Britain, $4,000 in Germany, 1000 in
France, 5000 in Austria-Hungary and
5000 in italy.
The growth of the post office business
of the country has been amazing. At
the close of the revolutionary war there
were only Is post offices in the United
States. At the close of the war OF 1912
there were 5000. At the beginning of
the civil war there were 2s, $3.50, and five
years after it's close, in 1870, there were
80, 1872, or about 100 fewer, the only step
backward during the history of the
post Office department. BY 1880 the up
ward rise had started again and in full
force, and the number of post offices in
the country reached $4,000. There are
now 10000 post offices in the United
States, and the number is constantly
being increased.

A shepherds body was recently car

A LULLABY.

Sleep, my dear one, sleep:
What though men laugh, what though men
weep?
What though the wind and rain
Murmur their rapture or their pain?
Love watches over thee
Like the still moon above the sea.
Sleep, my dear one, sleep:
What though men toll, what though they
reap?
What though the devious days
Lead radiant lives in darkened ways?
Sorrow is not for thee,
Soul of my soul and heart of me.
Sleep, my dear one, sleep
Time in its tenderness shall keep
Thy sweetly budding soul
In it's divinely wise control:
Hope sings it's song for thee
Hope that is now and yet to be.
Sleep, my dear one. sleep:
The hours move fast, they rush, they leap;
Red sunrise, then the noon
A life is lived and lost so soon:
May fate be kind to thee,
Soul of my soul and heart of me.

The fact that he was on time made me
study the fellows looks, as one gazes
with interest at some prodigy devel-
cped in altogether unexpected
place. He was stout and well built,
with little of the slouching clumsiness
Of the typical plowboy. His face,
though far from stolid, was not at
tractive, and several days growth of
beard helped to lessen such slight
claims to comeliness as it might have
possessed. His garments were coarse
and stained, and his boots were old and
worn.

linquished the reins. Its good

gruffiy, and, turning on his heel,
walked away.
At another time his manner might

ers'. civilization. Miss Gray was ready

THE GREAT LECTURE,

Our readers may not know Rev. S.
Parkes Cadman of New York, who is
to deliver his great lecture on "Abra-
ham Lincoln" in the Methodist taber-
nacle, Bloomsburg, Pa, Tuesday
evening, May IL, but they can rely
upon the following statements made
by persons whom they do know.
Rev. f. H. Yocum, d. d., Presiding
Elder of the Danville District, writes
Rev. B. c. Conner and says: "Amid
the many splendid productions of the
American platform, 1 regard Mr.. Cad
mans abraham Lincoln" as one Of
tie 0e,y lest No one who has the
opportunity to hear it can afford to
miss it. The people of Bloomsburg
will be the wiser and better for this
splendid intellectual and patriotic
treat"
Chaplain C. C. McCabe also writes:
at has been my privilege to hear the
great lecture Of Rev. S. Parkes Cad
man on abraham Lincoln" 1t is a
noble tribute of patriotic American
citizen of English birth to the greatest
American that ever lived. The church
ought to be crowded to hear the lee
ture and if anybody fails to 60, he
will regret it after it is over"
The following is from citizens well
known in this vicinity: 'tOne year
ago last March, we, the undersigned,
had the privilege and pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Cadman's great lecture
on "Abraham Lincoln" We record
it as our deliberate judgment that
this is one of the most thoughtful,
brilliant and eloquent lectures we
have ever heard by any man on any
subject. We are glad it is to be de-
livered in Bloomsburg, and feel conf
dent that all who enjoy inspiring, pa
triotic eloquence will be delighted
with it as we were.
