The writer has a right to reclaim and regain possession of it provided he can prove to the satisfaction of the postmaster at the office from which it was sent that he was the writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived in the office which is its destination and before it has been delivered to the addrest it may be recalled by the writer by telegraph through the mailing office.
It would be a great boon to all of us who speak in haste and repent at leisure if we could as easily recall our spoken messages.

RECEPTIVENESS
The British Weekly gives a good rule in rime to those who need more openness to good influences and blessings:
Open the door, let in the air;
The winds are sweet and the flowers are fair.
Joy is abroad in the world to-day;
If our door is wide, it may come this way.
