I The money consideration would never induce any one to take the office, hut that anything which will convert the leisure moments of the day into three-cent pieces or even copper coin, is welcomed hv persons who are hound to get something ahead?at whatever honorable cost. Ic carries precious little honor with it. Tim ~r 1? w n.-im?ruig a gratuity to govern- 1 ment?or rather of slaving without any rod- I sidcrntion in behalf of the government, and i licing, willing or unwilling, the tool of a party whom half the neighborhood believes cor- j nipt, ami liablo to the mortification of ejectment, without shadow of ofteneo, at the will . of the Postmaster General, doos not confer) great honor upon the incumbent in anv part of the country with which we are familiar. Nor has it privileges worth buying at their cost. The Postmaster is supposed to receive and scml his letters vijke. Hot it is only those on 1'twtOffieo business tlmtaro so transmitted?unless, indeed, he puts blinders on bis conscience, and being his own judge, construes any which concerns his own interests to bo of that nature. This is a curious perversion of our legislative wisdom. Members of Congress may scml home copies of the "Census," bushels of bound "Messages" ..,.i <>it.i?i "?

Hut the poor unpaid Postmaster if lie nends his love, which weighs nothing, to -his wife at the next post office, mus. write on the envelope "On 1'oat Official Business and makes himself meaner in his own eyes, or hr." the precious franking privilege. Hut let us see what Ills Inlnir is, ami what j his pay.

That would construe him into a mail carrier?a thinjj which a postmaster is under strict penalties forbidden to he. However distant or near, ho must be on hand at the moment that the oars arrive. The leathern j hag must not be entrusted for one moment to ! an unsworn officer. If tho engine breaks down ho must wait till she is mended and the arrival made. If she runs ahead of time, he is not excusnblo for his tardiness, 'tis his business to take tho mail when it comes.? llo must not stop to shoe his horse or buy a ppool of cotton on his way home. When the mail arrives in town the people have a right to their mail matter. Tbo law now is vcrv strict. Ho must open the bug in a private room, with 110 one at hand but a sworn ilcputy?he must do it himself?not his wife, nor Ins grown-up daughter. If anybody's weekly is lacking, there is a row.? The subscriber must have seen through the lattice-work every bundle that was taken out, and noticed that his was not in the com- ; ??ny, or our postmaster is suspected.

If n letter does not conic, "why doesn't it come?" is the ciuestion which our Postmaster must explain. Alas! poor Postmaster! on hini fulls the hlatno of correspondents negligence. of the law's rates, of blundering clerks in new'a offices, of everything for which his ingenuity cannot devise a most plausible and excellent excuse.

Because soft water unites freely with soap and dissolves it. instoml i>T !? composing it as lianl water does. \\ hy do wood a&hes make hard water .soft? 1st, liecause the carbonic acid of wooil allies combines with the snlphato of lime in the hard water, converts it into chalk ; 2d, wood ashes also convert $om? of the soluble salts of water into insoluble, and throw tlwiu down as a sediment by which the water remain? more pure.

That fresh particles of air may be brought in contact with their face by the action of the fun ; and as every fresh particle of air absorbs some heat from the skin, this constant change makes them cool. boos n fan cool the air? Xo, it makes the air hotter, by imp-ATting to it the heat from our fare : hut it cools our face by transfer- \ ring its heat to the air.

Hecanse cohl air rushes from the hall j to supply the void in the room caused 1 ?y the | cscojie of warm air up the chimney,&c. Why is there always a strong draft through the keyhole of a door 2 lSucause the air in the room we ocnpy is warmer than the air in \ the hall ; therefore the air from the hall j rushes through the keyhole into tlic room, and causes a draft. Why is there always a draft through the window crevices?

There is not one j I am persuaded, who feels tho least tin kindness towards you. Hut you must J recollect that it is necessary, however painful it may he, that the murderer must lose her life in order that the lives of others, who do not offend, may be saved.
