Mr. Editor: If it would be in order at the present time to express our thoughts np-oft this subject we would gladly embrace the opportunity.

If the people generally would he more careful in directing their correspondence, it would be better for all parties concerned. Thousands of important letters have reached the Dead letter Olfce for the simple rcasoii that the address of the party receiving tly: letter, was insntiicicnt to imli-catc with certainty the intended person. If letter writers would only reflect one moment they would readily perceive that there are in every town different pcrsohTwuli names'Tiav ing the same initial letters. Now how can we Postmaster know with certainty who among the many is to receive them We will give our idea about this matter and if anyone can suggest a betlr way let them do it I am fur the public and the Postmaster ill feel under great obligations to them lor so uoiug In directing a Jetter to a man with only one given name, it should be icrifen in full if he haa two, or more names, one of them, ntJcast, should also be writteifSout in full, and if he ia a stranger in the 'place it ia well to put it in the care of some one who is well known. We would, lay, however, thst there it generally less difficulty in thi number than in that which follows.

'2nd. In directing a letter to 4 married woman, -it should nlway be written with the husband's given name, nr in his care. Thus, Mrs. John Jones or Mrs. Jane Jons in care of John Jones.

Never direct a letter to a married woman with only her given name upon it unless you want tho letter delayed in the home office. You are aware that in most country plncrs very much of the Post Office matter is sent out hy the Postmaster, in the hands of neighbors and friends. So you can readily see what trouble and vexation is likely to arise out of the practice of merely putting on the given name of th married woman. Don't do it It is foolish for you.

An opinion formed from considerable experience with iti uae, is that the cob is too nutricious to throw away. There is danger, however, of the miller taking clear corn for toll; Unle.s one pay the money for grinding, and danger -sf not feeding nearly double the quantity oftljiv provender that one would of clear corn. a. tho euli riint.iin i nearly half of the hulk.

Which la tho TJoirP A Jeweler who carried on nn extensive trade, and supplied the "deficiencies of one country by the superfluities of another, leaving his home with a valuable assortment of diamonds, for a distant region, took with him his son and a young slave, whom he had purchased in hi infancy, and had brought up more like on adopted child than a servant.

They performed their intended journey, and the merchant disposed of bia commodities with great advantage but while preparing to return be was seized by a pentilentiul distemper, and died suddenly in a foreign coun- XrvT This accident inspired the slave with a wish to liossemi his master's treasures and relying on the total ignornnce bf strangers, and the kindness every where shown him by the CWt'llT, hu dm'laied huiisell the sun of the deceased, and look charge of the property. The true heir, of coiTrae, denied his prcten-lentiona, and solemnly declared himself to lie the son of the defunct, who had long before purchased his opponent as a slave. The contest produced various opinions. It happened that the slave was a young man of comely person and of polished man- tiers while the jeweler' son was ill-favored by tiaUH'e. and slill more iiii'irmi in Ins eili cation bv the indulgence of his parent.

Thi superiority operated in the minds of many to support tho claims of the former but since no certain evidence could be produced, on either side, it became nccccssary to refer the dispute to a court of law. There, however, frora a toul want of proofs, nothing could be done. The magistrate declared his inability to decide pn unsupported assertions, in which each party was. equally positive. This caused a report of the case to be made to the prince who, having heard thru particulars, was also confounded, and at a loss how to decide the question.

At length a happy thought occurred to the chief of the judges, and he engaged to ascertain the real heir. -The two claimants being summoned before him, he ordered them to stand behind a curtain prepared. for the and to project their heads through two openings, when, after hearing their several arguments, he would cut off the head of him who should prove to be the slave. This they readily assented to the one from a reliance on hia honesty, the other frora a confidence of the impossibility of detection. Accordingly, each taking his place as ordered, thrust his head through a hole in th curtain.

An officer stood in front with a drawn cimcter in his haed, and the judge proceeded to the examination. After a short debate, the itulgecrfed out, "Enough! Strike oiff the villain's head!" and tho officer, who wstched thtf moment, leaped towards the two-yonths. The- impostor, -startlevi l-the brandished weapon, bnitily drew back his head i while the jaweler's ion, animated by corcioiiasecuritvrtood jinmovetl, The judge immediately derided for the latter, and ordered the slave to he taken Into custody, to receive the punishment due to bis infamous ingratitude. v. tV Good name for a paper "The Comet with a New Tjile every Week."
