MAKE YOUR MARK.

In the quarries should you toil,

Make your mark;

Do you delve upon the soil, Make your mark;

In whatever path you go,

In whatever place you stand— Moving swift or moving slow-

Make your mark.

Life is footing as a shade-

Make your mark;

Mark of some kind must be made-

Mako your mark;

Make it while the arm is strong, the golden hours of youth; Never, never make it wrong;

Make it with the stamp of truth;

Make your mark.

Much trouble and disap- to sond small valuable trifles through the pointment is caused by persistent attempts Post.

The Post Office is not, by law, responsibl, for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (even if the packet be re- gistered); nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission,et

To guard agalist such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer fro stamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragile artiole should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered that every packet has to be handled several times; that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mail bag; and Its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.
