A Winter Te Deum.
The voice of the storm is hushed,
The stars unclose their eyes,
And the wind that over the hill has
rushed
In the silent valley lies ;
Round yonder distant star,
The changeless central pole,
I seem to hear, through the vault afar,
The song of the heavens roll:
“Shine, ever shine,
Stars of the circling sky!
Shine as you twine
Round the pole divine,
You are watched by an infinite eye.
The heart of the ocean beats
To join the Choir unknown,
Till the lip of each billow repeats
Te Deumi of its own ;
And everywhere I go
Twin stars are watching me ;
One shining up from the depths below,
One down on the silent sea ;
“Shine, ever shine,
Let me sing to the tune of the sky,
Like the stars entwine
Round the pole divine,
In the light of an infinite eye.”
“DONT YOU FORGET IT.”
How to Conduct Yourself When Hav
ing Business at the Postoffice.
Postmaster Wisecarver on H--1 or Holliness.
E-ven if you do receive your letters
regularly cajl around occasionally and
give the office a raking on general
"riflo-pl#}, This for the clerk is as
good as going *0 th« circus, and some
times a little bettf*r-
If you have any letters f-9 write do
not write them at home, but go down
to the postoffice, where you can have
all the facilities. This is a good prac
tice, as it prevents other people from
monopolizing the desk room. If you
can get to the office just as the clerks
are closing up, so much the better.
The clerks enjoy the office so much
after staying in it all day, that they
prefer spending the evening in to go
ing home. This also affords late com
ers an opportunity for transacting
their business, for which they and
the clerks will be duly thankfull.
If you have a lock box do not fail
to read all your mail before getting
out of the way of those waiting. This
is very essential as it will teach them
to control their tempers, and give
them an opportunity to guard against
the sin of profanity. If some one
knocks you down for thus doing your
duty, get up and let some other per
son do the same. It will thus teach
you Christian forbearance.
Never forget to ask the clerk in
which box to put the letter, or else
ask him to put it in the box himself.
This gives the clerk a little exercise
which he needs.
Ask the clerk when the mails go out,
and at what time a letter will reach
its destination. This is good school
ing for the clerk, as it stimulates his
inventive faculties, and gives him a
chance to prepare for the next cus
tomer that asks the same question. .
It is of the utmost importance that
you go to the postmaster occasionally
and make complaints. Tell him that
the office is very poorly conducted;
and that if you had the management
you would show him how things
should be done. This puts the post
master in good humor (?) with him
self and you, and gives him an op
portunity of blowing up the subord
inates.
These few rules have been prepared
with great labor and care, and are be
lieved to be applicable to the needs of
the community. A faithful observ
ance of them will benefit the window
clerk and be a source of instruction
to the entire force, from the post master
down. The clerk (?) fortunate enough
to have waited upon you will rise up
and call you blessed, and you can go
home with the proud consciousness
of having done your duty.
