An unhealthy woman is rarely, if even

PENNY POSTAGE.
A LETTER THAT COST $55 FOR
POSTAGE:
Wonderful Changes That Have
Taken Place in the Past
Fifty Years.
Fifty years ago to-morrow,
says n correspondent of the
Louisville Standard, of Jan 9
namely, Friday, Jan. 10, 1840
—there came into operation in
this country one of those great
measures of social referm which
may be said to constitute the
landwarks of a nation’s pro
gress —the uniform penny pos
tag: system. This measure,
originating with a private in
dividual who, up to the age of
27, had been a schoolmaster,
and who was wholly unconnect
ed either with the postoffice or
the government, has, in the last
half century, revolutionized the
postal cervice of the world, and
made the name of its author—
the late Sir Rowland Hill—a
housebold word in every coun
try.
’ To the present zeuneration the
old postal system. which was
swept away by Rowland Hill's
reform, is now so mwech n mat
ter of ancient bhistory, and
of history but little
studied,orthat probably very
few have any conception of the
state of affairs which existed in
this country at a date no further
removed than the early years of
‘her majesty’s reign.
Up to 1850 the pesteflice, so
far as the poor and the lower
‘middle elass was concerned,
‘may be said to hava been al.
most uon-existent. The rates
charged on letters were in those
days so exorbitant, especially
when compared with the scanty
wages then obtainable, that cor
respondence was a luxury lor
tao costly for all but the well
to-do. Erven in the upper mid
dle classes the cost of postage
was a heavy item of household
expenditure, only to be incurred
after much careful considera
tion ; but the vast multitude of
the lower orders were practi
cally excladed from all use cof
the post office. When once
their families parted off from
home it was a separaticn almost
like that of death. The huu-i
dreds of thousands of appren
tices, of shopmen, of governess
es, of domestic servants, were
cut off fiom family velations as
if seas or deserts lay betweor
them and home. ;
Except in the local town de
liveries—technieally known as
“penny posts¥—the lowest charge
on any letter was 4 pence, but that
only sufticed for a distance of fif
teen miles ; heyond that radius the
rates of postare rapidly increased
with the distance the letter had mi
be conveyed, till letters from Lon
don to Liverpool or Manchester
were charged 11 bence, those to
Edenburghk or Glasgow 1 shilling
4} pence, and to Cork and Lons
derry, 1 shilling 5 pence, and even
these exorbitant rates were ovce
doubled or trebled it the letter,
however light, contained one or
more inclosures, or consisted of
two or three piecesof paper. Thus
a letter cousisting of a sheet of
‘paper and a check, with an envel
ope to inclose them, which now
goes from London to Cork for 1
penny, would, prior to 1840, have
been treated as a treble letter end
charged 4 shillings 3 pence, or
more than fifty fold the present
rate.
Letters in those days were al
most always sent unpaid, and
were, in many cases, refused by
the persons to whom they were
addressed, especially by those of
the poorer classes, so that the
postoffice constantly overshot its
mark 1 its endeavor to make a
great profit, and had to carry the
letter from the writer to the ad~
dressed, and, after all, to lose the
whole postage. The old ligh
rates of posfage simply killed all
domestic or frendly correspound
ence, or drove it into illicit chan
nels, and in proof of this Rowland
THE DAWSON NEWS.
Hill, in 1847, drew attention to
the remarkable fact that in the
twenty years ending with 1835
(during which period the trade and
population of the United Kingdom
has greatly increased) the revenue
ot the postoffice had remained
statiomary. Asan instance of the
extraordinary charges sometimes
made under the old system, it is
stated that in 1839 Sir John Bur
goyne wrote to complain that ‘or a
pcket of papers sent hinv at Dub
tin, from other part of Ireland, by
mail coach, asa letter, instead of a
parcel, he had been charged a pos
tage of £ll, That is to say, .f".
a packet which he could easily
have carried in his poeket he was
charged a sum for whicii he could
have engaged the whole mail

Social Purity.
To the Editor of the Hartford
Courant: *““Purity” was the sub-
Jeet ot the sermon at Unity church
last Sundsy. The minister main
tained that purity is as much the
duty of men as it is of women.
‘The following verses from Unity.
'un excellent paper published in
Chicago, were used in illustration
of the popular view on this point:
Remorse is written on her fice--
But watch them draw their skirts
asi'e,
And note that seornful look they
cast
At on.(:J who fain would stem sin's
tide,
And watch them ncw —for here he

Farming Sense.
The time has passed for farmers
to depend on muscle and hard la
bor alone. They must use their
brain as well as hands, They
must do more thinking and plan
ning if they desire to receive the
best rosults. The lawyer studies
law; the deector medicine. The
merchant must study commerce,
the laws of supply? and demanrd,
and the banker must acquaint
himselt with the principals and
details of finacce. Just so the
farmers must study farning. The
experiments of last year in erop
raising and stock breeding must be
remembered and put inpractical use
this year. Not only his own ex
perience but that ot his co~labor
ers should be his to profit by.
Farming is a science and there are
many new things to Jearn init yet,
and the cheapest way to learn
‘these things is by study.
Rude familiirities will soon !ay
down the barricade becween the
sexes, and young ladies should
never allow it. ~ A girl with her
good name smirched rarely outs
lives it. Even after she marries
some ‘cllow will say: *I use to
hug that thing for all she is worth.”
Beware girls that your good name
is not smirched.

A WESTERN WEDDING.
FIRST WEDDING ON OWL CREEK,
The Bride Was Lassoed, Hobbled and
Carried Into the Corral.
“A frien lof mine,” said W, A.
Jennings, 03 Wyoming, “‘who lives
outin the cattle country of the
Bix Horn Basin, was a witness in
1885 10 one of the most remarkable
weddings of which I ever heard.
At that time a tew settlers had
formed the nuclus of what is now a
prospercus farming region, but the
sway ot the cowboy was undise
‘puteds The first wedding in that
section on Owl Creek was that of
Big Charlie and Meetutse Nance,
a native sagze-brush belle. The
bride and groom came seven'y
five miles on horseback to the
Squire's and in exactly the same
tashion. When within a tew milea%
of the Squire's home they met that
official surrounded by halfa dozen
cowboys. Then the bvide got rest-‘
less and nervous, declaring that
she wouldi’t marry sny man on
earth. But the Judge, the cow
boys and the groom were equal to
the accasion, At a short distance
stood = eorral, : |
“lake her over to the corral
boys, and put her in.” said His
Honar.
““As Meetutse Nance heard this
order she made a wild break for
the hills, but her days of freedom
were over. She was quickly run
down and amid a volley ot femi«
nine sage-brush eloquence the de«
lighted boys started on a lope for
the corrai. Reaching this, Nance
leaped from her broncho and start
ed like a scared deer for syme ad~
jacent brush, but it was no go.
However, she fought vigorously
aad His Honor ordered: “Hob.
ble her, boys.” The boys were in
ecstacies. A pair of rawhide hob
oles were stripped from a cayuse’s
neck and their twist adjusted about
the sturdy ankles of the strugeling
bride. She was taken into the
corral and His Honor mounting
the tence bade the groom iake his
place by her side and catch on to
her hand. This done His Honor
assumed the look of dignified ims
portance catled for by the occasion
and said :
“‘Big Charlie and Meetutee
Nance, you come into this corral
single. I now pronounce you a
couple. Riz Charlie, unhobble
your wife.’
“But this Big Charhe found it
difficult to do, and it was not until
one of the cowboys had gently cast
his laviat over the newly made
wite that the husbaud was able to
turn the lady lovse. Then the
Justice called the boys together,
and saying, ‘‘Come on, boys, we
kain't got no business here now,”
led them away. One ot the boys
looked back and the happy couple
were busy unpacking their camps
ing outfit and the honeynioon had
evidently begun.” Philadelphia

Poison Oak. '
The following extract, taken
from a letter written by Mr. E. A.
Bell, fully expains itself:
While surveying land in 1883 1
accidentally handled poison oak ‘
vine and in less than three houre
(theeruption usually resulting from
such contact begins in ten days )
my face was swollen and disfigur~
ed and my hands and arms serious-
Ily affected, I immediately began
taking Swift's Specific (S, 8 8.),
and after taking three large hottles
1 found 2l signs of the breaking
out entirely removed. I waeled to
suspect its return at the same time
next year, but it did not, nor has
there been any indications of its re
turn since.
My little boy, eight years old,
was afected with the same poison
in 1884, After taking several
bottles of Swift’s Specific (5.8.8.)
the eruption entirely disappeared.
A very slight form of the same
eruption returned during the next
spring, but we then resumed the
8.8.8., and having taken enough
duripg that season to make the
cure permanent, he has not since
