Tltc New J'tmluij Law.
There i.- it.?t!it-.tt;r*.etiienl anion.:
(In- white citizens of South Carolina
with reference to the propriety
ami desirability of divine aid
to the indigent and deserving Confederate
soldiers or to the widows
of such Boldeirs, says the Cireenville
Mountaineer. No one criticises
the appropriation of ?11)0.0 IK)
from the treasury for this purpose,
and the only tjuestion upon which
there is any difference relates to
the method of" distrihntion. The
new pension law is more stringent
than its predecessor, and is lmsed
upon the principle that this small
relief fund shall ho piven to those
who iii'n ni'Imilh* it?
?kV> timij 111 uvirii vn ihiji,
so that 1 !?? pension rolls contain
only the names of such as arc deserving
anil unable to care for
themselves. It has been charged
time and again that persons wciv
drawing pensions who did not
come within the scop 1 of the law,
or who were possessed of property
and had an income sutlieient for
their individual needs, or who had
children abnudantly able to take
cure of them, and therefore they
were not entitled to share in the
distribution of the pension fund.
Hence, the law now requires that
new applications be tiled, a ? that a '
close scrutiny shall be exeri ised in
making up the list, and only those
clearly entitle 1 shall bo paced on it.
1. The applicant must have resided
two years in this Sialo prioi
to the tiling of the application.
o t 1 1 ii* *?
.\u Humi< rs aim Bailors wlio
l< ?t both arms or both let?s, or
1 shjht, or wlio arc physically 11o!j?le.-8,
aiv oiven priority in the dis
tribution, and aro to lie paid in lull
the sum i f t ipdit dollars per mouth.
II. 11 a man, that lie was a bona
tide soldier or sailor in the service of
the State or t he C b in federate States.
That while in such service lie lost
a h*o or arm, or r-.e ived otiier
bodily injury whereby he lias be|
eome disabled; that neither himself
or his wife is receiving an
ineotne exceeding $].>0 per annnni,
nor property snlK -ieiit to produce
such au income. Or that it' nut
disabled, lie has reached the a?_re
of sixty years, and that neither lie
iiui iu? win' is ri'i'iuv 11!<111 annual
i income of $7f> from any source,
nor possessed of property suificient
to produce sueli nn income.
1. If n woimiu, she must ho the
widow of a bona title k tidier or
sailor in the service of the State
or Confederate States, and lias
never remarried. That either she
is i?0 yeais of aj^e or that her husband
lost his life in the service,
and that she has not an income of
$100 per annum, nor properly sufj
lieient to produce the same.
5. Soldiers and sailors who lost
an arm or It ;j; are to he paid 5?.l per
month, and all others entitled to
pensions s:d per month. These
amounts can only he paid, however,
if the roll of pensioners does not
exhaust the appropriation, \\hieh
inakes it incumbent upon the
county boards to retain only such
persons upon the roll as clearly
come within the scope of the law.
Much depends upon the township
representatives as to the efficiency
of the pension law, which
is plain and unequivocal. These
roprehentativescan aid and instruct
the applicants, and very often they
can point out to those applying
the spec:id feature which debars
the npphcant. For instance, in
the ease of a debarred veteran, lie
cmi not draw a pension if he or his
wife liasj.il income of ?150 a year,
or property snHieitnt to p*oduce
it; and in the cafe of a woman,
that her income is not Slot) a year,
or the ie without prop ity to produre
it. All other requirements
may ho valid, but an excess of
these r? quinmerits would debar
applicants. I< is certain that the
object of all concerned in the administration
of the law is to (lis
tribute the fund in aeeoidance
with the intention of its fiamers,
which is to reach the needy and
deserving with the pittance afforded

called the "king <>f terrors." All j
k11< \v the strauuc thrill felt when
lirst tin' cold corpse is touclu'd, the
peculiar solemnity of the graveyard
at eventide and the deep awe
that depresses us in the presence of
the d< ad. The son! tin 11 is willing
to look in upon its If and se the
things of life as they really are.
More than anything else.death can
make us honest with ourselves and
with our God.
Of all deaths there is none like
that of an infant. It happens
oftener than that of any other kind.
Of the liffy milli ms of person.,
who died in I'ddO, about 40 per
cent, or twenty millions, were infants.
Thou is no lloel;, however watched and
tended,
Hut one dead laiuh is there;
There is an fireside, how soe'er defended,
J'at has oin vacant chair.
i u all deaths it awakens amotions
the iiio.it tender. Parents
mi list love their olii!!: they gave it
existence, and it Incomes a part of
their own life. !t is tin* tight of
the 11 in , the musie of the heart,
the sweet pulse ?f 11 t ir being.
When the shadow of death i'al s
on a Imhe. then the whole house is
darlu ned, every daughter of music
is laid low. and the current of life
Hows so sadly and sluggishly along.
We ofti'.ites eatidi ourselves looking
f r the bright face, hut see it
not; listening for the sweet voice,
hut hear it n ?t; ami reaching forth
to embrace the loved t ii'tll, lmt
hearts and hands clasp only the
empty air.
Ah, then I feel the way is long.
And tears leap up in the light of the
sun:
IM give my world lor a cradle song.
And a kiss from Kt1>y?only one.
The other day 1 read these wolds
of a father bereaved of his Imhe:
'"Our pearl was pie.dons, its casket
heaut iful. The dark hand of dent h
touched our treasure the casket,
was broken and our pearl was "one.
