This example answers those who affirm that the art of letter-writing is dead, but it is rather an exception to a rule of dull carelessness.

A sort of heavy indifference of attitude seems to be regarded as eminently correct, but it is very chilling to the stranger within the gates.

MAIL STEAMER DEPARTURES.
The following table is a chronologically arranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canada, and Australin. Coast ports, Manila, and Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports. All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Munila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers ran there. The departure of evory steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O. mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French, and German in about 28 or 30 days.

Many good men now have striven,
And their precious lives have given

Dead so far from home, from mothers;
In Manchuria's soil reposing, Life's short chapter sadly closing. Courage! Heart! we are demanding, All these perils notwithstanding. Fear of death shall not alarm us; Trusting God, no power can harm us; Though the shells around aro bursting, For a better fight we're thirsting.

So, wo quickly closed in battlo; But, we could not stay this cattle; Crossing seemed to raise their ardor, And they rushed us all the harder. Stop then!
