AS TO PENSIONS.

WASHINGTON, September 12.-In
connection with his statement showing
the number Of unadjusted pension
claims that have been filed, Commits
sioner Dudley has made some calcula
tons to show how much money will
be required to pay them. He finds
that the average yearly value of a pen
sion is Sl05 The average date at
which arrearages began TO accrue is
the year 1864. The number OF claims
now pending, which include arrear-
ages, is 1883. If one half of these
be allowed the total amount
required 20 pay them Wilt DC sl2l ,373,-
300. This, Of course, is in addition to
II sums heretofore paid udder the
arrearages act. There are also 5692
claims now pending which do not in.
volve arrearages, If fifty per tent Of
these be allowed, the annual demand
upon the treasury to meet them will
be $5,023, 800. The present pension
list calls for $4,000, 900 a year. Con
sidering all the claims now uUAd
justed to be settled and one half of
them allowed, the sum required for
the entire pension list would be S44,-
836,b65. Should no further claims be
fled and allowed the amount required
would, Of course, diminish annually.

Character Of a Happy Life.

How happy is he born and taught
iha, serveth not another's will;
Whose armor is his honest thought
And simple truth his utmost skill!
Whose passions not his masters are.
Whose soul is still prepared Tor death,
Not tied unto the world with care
Of public fame, or private breath;
WHO envies none that chance doth raise
Or vice who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise;
Nor rules of state. but rules OF good!
Who hath his life from rumors freed,
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose, state can neither hatterers feed
Nor ruin make accusers great;
Who God doth late and early pray
More Of His grace than gifts to lend;
And entertains the harmless day
With well chosen book or friend =
This man is freed from servile bands
of hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord OF himself. though net OF lands;
And having nothing, yet hath all.

THE MORTGAGE.
BY WILL NJ. CARLETON.


We worked through spring and winter,
through summer and through fall,
But the mortgage worked the hardest ana the
steadiest OF them all;
1t worked on nights and Sundays, it worked
each holiday;
It settled down among rs, and it never went
away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost as
bad as theft;
1t watched Is every minute, and it ruled US
The rust and blight were with us sometimes,
and sometimes not;
The dark-broWed, seowling mortgage was
forever on the spot.
The Weevil and the cutworm, they went as
well as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty
all the same.
1t nailed up every window, stood guard at
every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
home with us no more,
Till with falling crops and sickness we got
started upon the grade,
And there came dark day on us Wnen the
interest wasn't paid:
And there came sharp foreclosure, ana
kind o. lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged, and the
farm was cheaply sold.
The children left and scattered, when they
hardly yet were grown:
My wife she pinned and per1Sheui an 1ouhu
myself alone.
What she died OF was a mystery and the
doctors never knew;
But knew she died of mortgage-just as
well as wanted to.
If to trace hidden sorrow were within the
doctors art
They'd found mortgage lying on the wo-
mans broken heart.
Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, on
farmers land may fall,
But for first-class ruination, trust mortgage
