Pavrlept of Pen sion

The United States Pension Agents
under sanction of the Department at
Washington are now sending Govern
ment vouchers carefully prepared, to
each pensioner, enabling him to collect
his own pension with the least possible
trouble and expense. On the receipt of
she voucher the pensioner has only to
sign it according to directions, and re-
turn it by mail to the agent, when a
check on the United States Treasury is
Immediately returned. A pcnsioner can
thus, tor few cents, remain at home
and collect his own pension without pay
ing anattorney orclaim agent from two to
fifteendollars to collect has pension or
prepare his papers" Every pensioner,
to draw his pension, is required, by or
ders from Washington, to have his pen
sion certificate in has oWn possession.
Any person Withholding his certificate
should be reported to the Government
agent. Under this arrangement, if a
pcnsioner is feeced, it would seem to be
from choice.
The plan now pursued by the Pension
Department, and with so successful re-
suits, was first adopted by Pension
Agent FITCH. when in charge of the
Office in this city. When presented to
the department it was at once adopted.
and is now generally practiced through
out the country much to the benefit OF
the poor pensioners.

The Census.

\ subscriber asks us to point out briefly
''the plan on which the census is taken"
He seems to want to know. with the
view of informing disinterested patriots
how to go to work in order to get to help
in the matter of taking the census.
There are, however. two considerations
involved in the question-one, as to the
schedule plan, and the other as to the
execution Of the work according to the
schedule agreed upon.
The defeat of Garfeld's bill by the
Senate leaves the old law in force The
Secretary of the Interior VIII, therefore,
direct the taking of the census, sub
stantialy as it has been taken hereto
fore. The statistics to be included will
be about the same-that is, the forms
viii be about as they have-and they
will be gathered through the various
United states Marshals. These appoint
deputies or assiStants-one or more in
each county-as many as may be necess-
airy to gather the facts expeditiously aud
thoroughly. The assistants are paid a
fair compensation for their work. They
ought to be men woll acquainted in their
neighborhoods, of good business ability,
and capable of writing legible hands
rapidly, without running out their
tongues. With such men everywhere
appointed, the Marshals can have the
census for 1870 in the Interior Depart
ment six weeks after receivingtheir in
structions and forms. -Chicago Post.

Home influence.

To render man happy and contented
his home Influences must be of an agree
able and enticing character. This must
be the spot to which he can retire for
peace and quiet enjoyment; the green
isle in the ocean of life, ever warmed by
the genial sun and fragrant with flowers.
Contention should never enter here but
the good wife, yielding, yet influencing

husbands home an earthly paradise.

Der story told Of an eminent divine,
whose name we cannot recall, that is
strongly Illustrative Of the moral we wish
to inculcate. 4 very respectable young
woman called upon the pastor one day,
and told him. with undisguised feelings
of regret, and with an earnest injunction
as to his secresy, that her husband was
unkind to her; that he passed nearly all
his leisure hours away from home and
that, in short, his conduct was rendering
her quite miserable.
q thought, sir said she, "as you
are good wise man, perhaps you would
advise me what to do, that | might re-
claim my husband.
"Y our complaint is not an uncommon
one, my good woman, said the pastor,
"and | think it is within the reach OF a
simple remedy"
''Oh, tell it to me, and | viii bless
you y said the poor woman sobbing like
a child.
The pastor took her hand kindly, and
looking into her face, said, impress
siyely,-
always meet your husband with a
smile. -
Light broke in upon her mind Instantly
She expressed her thanks, courtesied,
and went away She had the secret and
she resolved to try the potency of the
charm.
1t was about three months Subsequent
~ that the pastor heard gentle knock
at his library door one day, and bade the
| person enter. 1t was the wife who had
come to him not long before, but how
changed True, tear was IN her eye,
but it was tear Of JOY She brought
him as present. q couple of fine fowls,
which she begged him to accept as a
| token of acknowledgment for an indebt-
/ edness she could never repay. She had
followed his advice, and it was completely
! succeSssui-her husband was cured. Love
and kindness only existed in their cottage
and he no longer sought the company of
| boon companions, but was contented and
