After a time the government signified a wish that these boxes should possess certain qnalitins to insnre safety. The Post Office Department at Washington has carefully refrained from recommending any particular box, but it has indicated a dozen or more, made by private manufacturers, which comply with its requirements. The farmer may buy and use any one on the list. This regulation has in a number of instances been misinterpreted, and bus caused no little irritation in consequence. In the first place, some of the people who now get their mail in this manner feel that they shonld be permitted to choose (or make) their boxes without any advice.

But inasmuch as the government is responsible for the safe carriage and delivery of the mails, it feels justified in prescribing the character of the boxes. Uuloss it is free to do so, it would not be just to hold it accountable for losses. After a time wisdom of this de- ision willbe generally recoguized. --Exchange. WlnlerTuurM.

TotviKcml. Rev. Gcorgo W. Townscml, of Ccciltoti, Cecil county, semis the following tribute to tlio late Pi of. James "Had tho funeral services of Brother James tSwnun been held at any other time than on the Sabbath, at which time it would havo bcon almost impossible for luo to havo mailo provision for my own work for thitt day, I should have endeavored to be present at thorn.

It would have boon a great satisfaction to me to havu bonio my testimony to his Christian character aud religious fidelity aud integrity. Tho intelligence of his death received by mo last Saturday was a great shock to me, having had no previous intimation of his illness. I can hardly realize that my friend has gone from earth and that I shall never again, in this life, look into his uiunly face nor share iu that hospitality which I havo so often enjoyed and which was always so sincoro and unaffected in its character. There have been but few deaths outside my own family which havo come so closo to uiy heart and affected mo with such a sense of great personal loss as his. I count him as one of the truest friends that I have ever had.

There was nothing demonstrative and gushing in tho manifestation of his friendship; certainly nothing assumed and affected, but it was deep and trim and abiding. His attitude and relation toward ono were never affected by the attitude and focliugs of any ono else, but he judged each case on its own merits and made up his judgment from his own data. We did not always coincide in our i i and opinions; wo sometimes widely differed. I remember ono instance in particular, during my pastorate at Denton, when'our opinions and feelings were sharply variant, and when each of us expressed ourselves, perhaps, in strong and positivo language; but that difference of opinion never affected his attitude toward mo nor did he give mo any occasion to i that he felt any differently toward mo. He was the very soul of honor, a manly man, in whose breast there beat a heart that had in it nothingof deceit and hypocrisy.

He never did or said anything that wounded mo or that led me to infer that his friendship for me had wavered in the least. By his death Denton has lost ono of its many attractious to me and the loss of his friendship has robbed my heart of one of its sources of wealth. The memory that I shall ever cherish of him will be sweet, unaffected by a single drop of bitterness. "He was a man of strong conviction and as true to his convictions as tho needle of the compass is to tho pole. No considerations of personal interest, of loss or gain, could him from his convictions of right or lead him to make the least sacrifice or compromise of them.

His naturo was as sensitive to wrong as tho eye is to a flying mite and as instinctively repelled and shut itself against it. It seems to mo he must have left an impress for good npon tho honest heart of every one who knew i and his death has entailed a loss upon all who are interested iu the i of right. Ho enjoyed, I am sure, the highest respect of the entire citizenship of the town of Dentou with which he has been so long identified, and no words of praise that may have been indulged in at the time of his bnrial were inappropriate nor excepted to by the people who know him so well. The church to which he belonged, and to which he gavo snch faithful and efficient service, has sustained a loss that it can ill afford to sustain. His place iu it cannot easily be filled nor his worth to it bo easily duplicated.

The strictest fldel- iyt marked him in every official relation, while his life and character wero utterly without reproach. The cause of Christ never suffered by any even seeming inconsistency on his part while his blameless and faithful and useful life was a constant blcssiug and benefit. He was an invaluablo help to his pastor. Always at his post at tho prayer meeting when his precarious health permitted it, scrupulously attentive to the Sabbath services, and, by his intelligent listening attitude, greatly assisting the preacher, and he was a a i standby and an efficient in revival services. Moreovei, ho was friendly and kind in his admonitions, wise and prudent in counsel and supplementing it all by a bearing that was the very essence of goiitloinau- lincss and courtesy.

That his 'soul has entered the abodes of peace and that lie has received his Master's 'Well I have no doubt, and the hope of ultimately mooting him there and of enjoying unbroken fellowship with him forever will constitute one of the happy anticipations of the future. The strain of eulogy that I have indulged in is Hoiuowh.it unusual with me, but every word of it has come out of my honest henrt and is fully deserved and justified. Having been deprived of the privilege of attending his funoral I know of no better way in which I can pay some small part of the debt I owe him. than by rendering this tribute to his memory throngh tho columns of the DKSTON llr. CUrk'H KccoiHlHcnilatlniis.

Dr. J. Clement Clarke, superintendent of tho Springfield State Hospital, in his report to the board of managers, just issued, suggests levying a lax for the care and maintenance of iill tho insane. Ho says: "From my observation and study of this ijucs- tion, I am led to believe that it will bo to tho best interest of tho Stato and the people as well to have all tho insane taken care of by a direct tax rather a by appropriations. Tho present system provides that each county and Baltimore shall pay the sum of "0 per year for the care of iusano patients.

It is estimated a in tho development of the wealth of a Stato that the life of cach individual has a financial value of $200 per annum. Ou the other hand, the average duration of insane life is about 1'2 years, and the average annual cost of properly maintaining an insane person in a public institution, including interest on the iuvestment, is about $200. It appears, therefore, that every insane dependent represents a pecuniary loss to the State or county approximately of $400 each year that he remains under earo as a public charge. Therefore, if the average longevity of the insane is 12 years and the annual per capita cost cost of maintenance is $200, each insane person who fails to recover duriug this period represents a loss to the State or county of whereas a sano person for a like period of time wonld represent a gain of $2,400."
