THE GERMAN POSTAL CARD.
In Germany a printed formula on the postal cards reads as follows : — " Only a few lines to-day." Then a blank space is left for the written message, After which the following printed formal* is added : " God be thanked. lam in good health, and hope to hear that you are also. The weather ia ; write soon, and give my lore to all. In haste." Thii is all very convenient, but suppose the writer doesn't care about thanking God on a postal card, or suppose he isn't in good health, what good would the postal card do him ?
