as such is subject to the ordinary letter
postage. Any postmaster, therefore, at
whose office it letter card may be posted or
who may receive such a card from another
office showing less payment than would be
tequired in the case of a letter, should tax

Laid .et Rest,
The funeral of the late Maggie Bell on
Friday last, was something rather oat of
the Ordinary and yet the most becoming,
quiet and orderly conducted funeral we
have ever seen. Four young ladies dressed
in white and each carrying a bouquet
anted as bearers. They were assisted by
two young gentlemen. At the grave the
bouquets were deposited On the casket.
Another part of the ceremony which we
believe to be a sensible departure from the
ordinary custom was baying the service
private and a few hours before the time of
burial, In the abseticeof Rev. Dr. Gifford,
Rev. Mr. Hamilton officiated. The bearers
were the Misses Pattison, Miss Watcher and
Miss Aitken and were assisted by Messrs.
M. Park and R. Galbraith. A large con-
course of friends attended the funeral
showing the high esteem in which the
young lady was held by all. The sting of
death is deep at all times, but when the one
called is one who is just entering on the hap-
piness and hope of womanhood, it seems
doubly hard to part with her and therefore
it is that the mother and brothers of the
deceased has the full sympathy of aIt in
this their ead bereavement.
—The followingpostoffice directions may
be of local'uee. The reader is not asked to
spend valuable tune in speculating as to
which of his neighbors it is intended that
they should apply. "When you call at
the office for your mail ask him if that is
all. If you ask him for your mail and he
tells you there is none, tell him there ought
to be, ancI then go home and send the rest
of the family around at different parts of
the day. Don't bring your mail to the
post office until the mail closes, then sail
into the clerk for not opening the mail bag
and putting your Lotter in. When you
want a stamp on your letter, tell the clerk
to put it on; if he don't liok it lick him.
In case yon put it on yourself soak it in
your mouth long enough to remove the
mucilage, it will stick until dry. 13e sure
to ask the clerk to credit you with a stamp;
if he has any aocomruodation about him he
will do it. If you have a box stand and
drum on it until the clerk bands you your
mail. It will make him feel good, especi-
ally if he is waiting on somebody else. If
you have a lock box always leave your key
at home. It is a pleasant way to impress
the clerk with your importanoo and he will
be sure to remember you.
