Under the present law, postage on periodicals is one cent for three ounces, and one cent for each additional ounce; but, when paid quarterly in advance, a deduction of one-half is allowed. The "Examiner" weighs not over eight ounces. The postage is, therefore, six cents per number, and, if paid quarterly in advance, but three cents per number, or eighteen cents a year.

His strength was exhausted. Enfeebled nature yielded, and he sank serenely, in the conscious possession of all his mental powers, and with a cheerful submission of his soul to God, into the arms of death, and was, as we trust, borne upward into the invisible realm of his faith and hope.

If I speak rather of our capabilities than of our defects, it will be because I think our chief want is encouragement. We need faith, hope, courage. We need to see what we are able to do, what are the special advantages of our position. Our open fault is want of zeal; the hidden defect out of which it springs, want of faith in our own ideas. I believe that we want, as a denomination, faith and hope; that we are for the time being a discouraged denomination. But the want of courage is a great want; the victory which overcomes the world is faith. This is especially the case with a sect holding views which differ from those of the majority.
