exempted from postage where exclusively devoted to the education of
youth, to temperance, agriculture and science, or for other reasons,
it is ordered, that with respect to periodicals which do now enjoy
this privilege or exemption, the exemption shall continue until the
expiration of the current year--that is until the 31st December,
1868, and that from the 1st. January, 1869, all such special
exemptions and privileges shall cease.
