Take the post olliee, for example—a

watch 1 >r an hour or so the ‘poste

immigration of the present day gives
rise to an immense addition to the
letters which are intended to letnain
in tlu* post oflioe till called for, and
probably there is no city in tlu; world
which receives hall as much corres
pondence of 111i3 character , as New
\ r oik. It is almost awful to observe
the ever waiting crowds one by one
asking with a beating heurt for a let-
icr which has not come or receiving
with joyous glee from the impassible
clerk a missive which brings happi
ness or sorrow to tlie poor expatiated
creatuie who has news from the old
country at any rate. One wonders
what becomes of the dead letters!
S uiething must com; of them or
they would accumulate In mountains
of unbroken envelopes. At any rate

the City Hull park while the moving
multitude of expectants weep or
laugh, according to the news their
transatlantic letters bring them.
