UHAPTER I.

Moonlight evenings-shady grove- Two young people much in love: Heroine with great wealth endowed, Hero handsome, poor and proud. Truth eternal-hearte united- Vows of changeless passion plighted; Kisses--quarrola-sight-caresses, Maiden yields one of her tresses. Obstacles to be surmounted, Happy hours pas by uncounted; Ugly rival, old and stale, Overhears the tender tale.

Morning in the east looks ruddy; Scene, young lady's father's study. Hero, with hat in hand, Comes, her ditto to demand; Angry parent storms-abuses, And at once consent refuse. Maiden taints beneath the blow- Mother intercudes-no go; Bbrieks-byatorics-protestations, Mixed with old man's excorations, Exit lover midst the din- Ugly rival enters in.

To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from atamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragile article 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 that, whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.net

No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a Post Office except to the parsons to whom they are addressed; and in no other way in official information of a private character allowed to be made public: A Postmaster way, however, give au address if he has no reason to believe that the person whose address it in would disapprove of his doing so.

Postmasters fe not allowed to return any letter or other packet to the writer or sender, or to any one else, or to delay forwarding it to its destination according to the address, even though a request to such effect be written thereon.***---

PAROELS-The public is reminded that, In Obins and Japan, there is no such thing as Parcel Post.

PATTERNS.Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining a general understanding of what is a Pattern. It is a bona fide sample of goods which the sender has for sale, or of goods which he wishes to order. It is to consist of the smallest possible quantity compatible with shewing what the goods are, and must have no intrinsic value,

To provide means of remitting small sams of money to or from this Colony and between the Forts of China and Japan, the Postmastera and Agents of this Offos will in future be allowed (but not required) to purchase Hongkong Postage Stampa from foreign residents.
