Do you imagine that sloth will afford you more comfort thun labor? No; for, as poor Richard says," Troubles spring from idleness, and grevious toils frbm needless ease: many without labor would live by their own wits only; but they break for want of stock." Whereas industry gives comfort and plenty and respect.

He said that he wished it distinctly understood that he appeared not as an opponent of the Spiritualists He had the profoundest faith in the existence of a spirit world, and the deepest veneration for all things that belooged to the realms of the supernatural. But he did not believe that spirits were in the habit of revealing their presence in the atmosphere of the earth by upsetting tables, rapping their knuckles on hard boards, writing on slates like schoolboys, and doing other absurd things in which no immaterial body with anr respect for its dignity and immaterialism would indulge. Mr. Cumberland then requested that six persons in the audience should volunteer to act as a committee, to see that everything on the stage was done openly aud above board. The committee was soon fouud and consisted of Algernon S. 8ullivan, theRov. Drs. Hepivorth. Philip Schaff and Bucklcy, Albert Webor and J. A. H. Johnson.

If the union of tho two services did not improve that of llie telegraph at all, I think it would improve the postal service in some important respects. It would make neccssary the employment, of telegraph operators for postmasters in many offices. This would result in giving to tho administration of not a few offices men who have learned to do one thing in place uf thone who have never learned to do anything. If the two offices were united whenever a uiuil did not arrive on time, the public thronging tho post office would learn, not merely that the wall had cot arrived but "Do you like Reginald ?"

The improbability of the story—to Bay nothing of its source— ought to hare satisfied every intelligent reader of its utter falsity.
