US reason about your daily vocations.-
Hold up your sleepy heads and see why
sentence of the most unqualified condem-
nation should be placed upon your con-

lmpudence to stretch your lazy bones on
store boxes, or block up the postofice
aoor with your carcases, TO the no small
nnoyance of busy working people, who
are engaged in some useful occupation p
How can you be content to pass away
the time9 in lounging about to avoid the
rays of the Sun-in company with your
equally lazy and useless companions, the
dogs-perchance once in a while setting
your canine friends to fighting for the
sake of brutal love for fun, and how can
you have the unblushing impertinence
to gaze under any lady's bonnet, who is
compelled to pass by, and just before she's
quite out of hearing, indulge your vulgar
propensities by remarkiDg what stuck

IMPORTANT DECISIONS CnMCERMlNG PENSIONS.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS CONCERNING PENSIONS.
The following decisions have been rem
dered at the Pension Bureau:
A soldier discharged on account of a
disease under which he was laboring when
he entered the service, is not entitled to
pension.
Actual rank in the line regulates the
amount of pension, and not brevet rank.
This rule applies to de-camps, adju-
tants, and others.
IF an injury results from the fault of
the soldier, he is not entitled to peusion.
A widows pension ceases if she mar
ries. The minor children, under sixteen
years of age, if any, are entitled from the
day of the marriage
No one while in the receipt of pay or
emoluments as an officer OF soldier of the
army can be placed on the pension list
The pension will not commence until the
party is discharged.
A minor disabled in the service does
not lose his right to a pension, although
he may subsequently have been discharg-
ed because of his being a minor.
A seaman was taken a prisoner, and at
tempted to escape, for which he was Sc
verely punished by the enemy, and there
by disabled. 1t is held that the disabili-
ty was contracted while in "the line OF
his duty, - and for which he is entitled to
pension.
The pension of minor child ceases on
arriving at the age of sixteen years.

BENJAMIN T. Perry, just appointed Pro-
visionaI Governor of South Carolina, is a
man after Andy Johnson's own heart
He has acted the same part in South
Carolina with Mr.. johnson in Tennessee,
leading the party of the poor whites
against the slaveholding aristocracy. He
was born and reared in the mountain re-
gion, among the small farmers who owned
as editor of the Greenville Mountaineer
For ten years before the war he urged the
establishment of common school system
in South Carolina, the extension of the
franchise, and various other popular mea-
sures, and was hated by the plantation
lords as leveler and agrarian.

cOuRTINo rwO HUNDRED YEARS AGO,

Among the amusing "reminiscences OF
those days, Is the famous courtship. of the
Rev. Stephen Nix, of Wethersfeld. He
made journey to Northampton in 1896,
in search of wife. He arrived at the
Rev. Solomon StoddaEd's, informed him
of the object of his visit, and that the
pressure of home business required the
utmost dispatch. Dir. Stoddard took him
into the room where his daughters were,
and introduced him to Mary, Esther,
Christiana, Sarah, Rebekah and Hannah,
and then retired Mr. Mix addressing
Mary, the eldest daughter, said he had
lately been settled at Wethers6eld, and
was desirous of obtaining a wife, and con-
cluded by offering his heart and hand
She blushingly replied that so important
proposition required time for considera-
ton. He replied that he was pleased that
she asked for suitable timefo reflection,
and in order to afford her the needed op-
portunity to think of his proposal, he
would step into the next room and smoke
pipe with her father, and she could re-
port to. him. Having smoked his pipe
and sent message to Miss Mary that he
was ready for her answer, she came in and
asked for further time for consideration.

swer by letter to Wethersfeld. In few
weeks he received her reply, which is
probably the most laconic epistle ever
penned. Here is the model letter which
was soon followed by a wedding:
