A Good sugrs.tlen sbou, The Census.

A Southern editor who says he "once
performed the arduous duty of census
taker," gives pointed description of the
difficulties which such officials have to
encounter in their pursuit of knowledge.
The head of the family is often absent,
and the other members, suddenly called
upon to give information that they have
never thought about with any exactness,
cannot answer half the inquiries in re
liable manner. Neither can the man
himself, in q much greater number OF
cases than any one would suppose who has
not witnessed the experiment. To reme-
dy this evil in the taking of the next CEN
sus, the editor makes the following sug-
gestions to the rural communities of the
south:
"Now, what we suggest is that each
farmer this fall, as he gathers his crops,
shall keep something like an accurate ac-
count Of, the quantity and value of the
same; and if he will take the trouble to
make out statement Of the names and
ages of his family; the number Of acres
of land, cleared aud timbered; the number
and ages of his servants; the number and
value Of his horses and mules; the num-
Der of bales of cotton, barrels Of corn,
bushels of wheat, oats, rye, barley, pota-
toes, &c, and the value of each, and leave
it in some place where any member Of the
family, who may be at home when the
deputy marshal shall call, can readily get
hold Of il, 1t will tave time to all concern
ed, and very greatly assist to make the
census return perfect, complete, and salts
factory"
The substance Of these suggestions is
equally worthy Of the attention Of our
own farmers Those who follow other
pursuits which enter into the census
tables, will also derive valuable hint from
them. If they even give in their state
ments personally, they will find great ad-
vantage from having gone over the sub
ject beforehand and noted downs the

Happiness.

incline to think that were our minds
capable of apprehending the essential
facts of the life we see, we should be con-
vinced that happiness is one Of the most
evenly distributed of all human posses
sions. The lahorer loves his wife and
children as well as the lord, and takes into
his soul all the tender and precious indu-
ences that flow to him through their love
as well as he. Food tastes as sweet to
the plowman as the placeman. If the
latter have the daintier dish, the former
has the keeuer sppstite. Iuto all ears the
brook pours the same stream of music,
and the birds never vary their programme
with reference to, their audience. The
spring scatters violets broadcast, and grass
grows BY the roadside as we'll as in the
park. The breeze that tosses the curls of
your little ones and mine is not softer in
its caresses of those who bound over the
velvet to meet it.. The sun shines, the
rain falls, the trees dress themselves in
green, the thunder rolls, and the stars flash
for all alike. Health knows nothing Of
human distinctions, and abides with him
who treats it best. Sleep, the gentle
angel, does not come at the call of power,
and never proffers its ministry for gold.
The senses take no bribe of luxury; but
deal as honestly and generously by the
poor as by the rich; and the President Of
the United States would whistle himself
blind before he could call our dog from

q s,epseu,s Old Clothes. u

In room at the Girard College, in
Philadelphia, is kept large portion of
Mr.. Girard's antiquated wardrobe, which
is shown to visitors, aud is generally
viewed with much interest. With this
explanation, the following 'good one,"
from the Philadelphia North american,
alleged to be true, will be understood and
appreciated:
"A few days since party of Friends,
comprising eight persons, male and fe-
male, made their first visit to the city.
They inspected the Mint, Fairmount
Park, aud other places, at once, devoting
the last day of their stay to leisurely
tour through the Girard College. They
first went over the grounds, and then saw
the pupils, the school rooms, the dormito-
res and playrooms. They then asked to
be shown the room where Stephens old
clothing was kept Their escort was a
recently engaged female domestic, rather
fresh from the sod, who professed to know
how to do everything, an dale besides
Milesian female listened to the request to
be shown Stephens old clothing and
remarked that nothing was aysier.' She
conducted the party TO the fourth story Of
the building, occupied by Professor Ste-
vens. She brought seats for her guests,
and then spread before them several pairs
of pants, good deal the worse for wear,
a number of vests in like condition, and
two coats, one with claw-hammer tail,
and the other dress coat that had been
converted into bob
The visitors handled the garments with
great veneration, expressed themselves
freely as to Friend Stephens taste in per-
sonal apparel, commented upon the stitch
ing of the button holes, the cut of the un.
mentionables, and finally retired, greatly
gratified at having ocularly examined
friend Stephens wardrobe Ashley de-
scended the stairs the party passed the
open door of sleeping room, in which
Mrs Professor Stevens was taking siesta.
Mrs. Stevens saw one, two, three, and
finally eight people, coming down the
stairs of her own private dwelling, and
wondered what was meant by the intru'
sion. The servant girl, however, saw them
to the door, received their thanks for hel
politeness in exhibiting Stephens wear
ing apparel, and then returned to hei
| mistress.

what remained was rich indeed. Hisreal
greatness never shone out more than in
the death-hour. When he was told that
he had but few hours to live, his brain
flashed up with all the glow of his best
days, and he talked at least two hours in
a strain of almost supra a-mortal eloquence.
The members of his family, students re-
naming here during the vacation, and
many of his neighbors, were called in at
his request, and he had for each some
word of warning or cheer. 1t twas partic-
ularly noteworthy that his remarks to
each person had some specific pertinence

"His ideas, aud the language in which
he clothed them, were really grand, and

A Wonderful Cure.

DR.. Hill, anotorious wit, physician, and
man of letters, having quarrelled with
the members of the Royal Society Of
London, who had refused to admit him
as an associate, resolved to avenge him
self upon them in novel manner. He
addressed TO their secretary letter pur-
porting to be written by q country sur
geon, and recited the particulars of cure
which he had affected. "a sailor boy,'
he wrote, sbroke his leg. and applied to
8me for help. i bound together the broken
portions, and washed them with the cele-
brated tar-water. Almost Immediately
the sailor felt the beneficial effects of this
remedy, and il was not long before his
leg was healedl" This cure was published
abroad at the very time that Bishop
Berkeley had issued his work on the mar
velous virtues of tar water, and excited
consequently great attention. The lette,
was read aud discussed at the meetings ol
the Royal Society, and caused consider.
able difference of opinion. Papers Wen
written forand against tar-water and ths
restored leg, when second letter arrived
from the (pretended) country practitioner
