Come to me darling, without thee I'm lonely, By day and by night I think of thee only, 1: By day and by night in my dreams I am with E thee, Nothing but dreans, yet happy they make me. Come to me darling, my sorrows you lighten, My heart and my life, your presence doth f brighten. t Come in thy womanhood, so pure and so lovely. Come in thy loveliness, so tender and wo manly. Come to me love, in the early hours of morn- ij ing, IP When the birds begin to siog, and the flowers f adorning The bosom of nature, lift their pure, graceful heads, t And distribute their perfume through the c agency of sephyrs. Come to me love, in the twilight of evening, h When the shadows have removed the golden light beaming From the "fountain of light," and the win- 6 dows of heaven b Open, to give us a glimpse of the Christian elysium. The springtime has gone with its music and D flowers, And autumn has come with its sombre-hued bowers; And thoughts of thy love, with its thricely t rich treasure, "Are circling my heart with a promise of pleasure." t Oh! life of my life, oh, source of my pleasure, Ennoble my. life till it equal thy measure; The past of my life with its moment of sor- e row, Is lost in the hope of peace for to-morrow. Thy voice is as sweet as the song of tho syren, I Thy features like those that to angels are given,_. Thine eyes are as brigtt as the bright stars of even', s Thy soul, grand and pure as the apex of heaven. 'Tis the spring-time of life and we now love each other, V Through the pathway of life let us travel to gether E Till our journey is ended, and "we pass over I the river And rest-under ther shade" with our blessed Redeemer. d Come to me, darling, for -my spirit is lonely, Come to me now, for thou, and thou only Cnst remove the sorrows that often oppress V me, di Come, my love, come, I would fondly caress thee.

BROADBRIM'S PARIS LET TER.f NO. 27.n If Internatorial Exhibitions shall I' have no other effect, at least they ~ will serve the purpose of making t people acquainted.' You would a have to travel over many lands to S see as many different ationalities 4 as can be grouped together in a single hour while standing on the Pont d'Iena on the bright autumn a afternoons. The grand towers of 1 the Trocadero are covered with I crious visitors, the walks are crowded by eager and good natured I thousands. In all these months I t have sca1rce4y heard a respectable ' dispute, and never anything that 8 amounted to a serious quarrel a waived from the stately towers of r the Trocadero. The sight is mag- 1 nificent and impressive. At your I feet flows the Seine, alive with a boats filled with tourists and coy- r ered with gay pennants and flags. c Immediately b,eforo you is the Pont d'Iena, over which mighty armies r have marched forth to victory, and r over which, too, rolled the remnant a of a shattered and defeated host, i while Blucher, with his victorious t Prussians, was thundering after r them from the field of Waterloo. c It was this bridge that the savage r Prussian desired to blow up, and it I is said that it required all the nerve3 of the Iron Duke to divert him from I his cruel purposs. On the right d are mont Yalerien and St. Cloud, d and between you and them are the d beautiful allies of Passy and the s pleasure grounds of the Bois de c Boulogne. The great Arc de I Triomphe seems scarcely a stone's C throw away, and the Avenue of the I Champs Elysees, the Place de la f Concorde and the splendid gardens s of the Tuileries lay before you a like a fancy map, a scene of un- i supassed loveliness. Wiho glitter- I ing' variety of costume and charac- y ter are among the most attractive fea- i +m-re ofthalxsnition. The quaint c oiffeures of Alsace and Lorraine I Lre' jostled by the fez of the Turk f nd the caftan of the Arab. Pic- i uresque, indeed, these fierce sons c If the desert look in the midst of c he throng; their dark faces peer- t og out from the folds of their r nowy burnouses, while the glilter- ' 3g dagger and keen sword which ang suspended from their girdles erve as a wholesome warning to he crious spectator not to make oo close an inspection, or too un- 1 eremonious acquaintance. Grave and stately men are these xab chieftains. I sometimes doubt they even smile; they are accom anied by a few of their women and :om the limited opportunity I have c ad for inspection, I should say a bat their charms were not of a P haracter to - make them in danger e f christian spoliation. The men t ave, some of them, handsome e oble facts, heads over which the f culptor would delight to linger, ut the women are short and tumpy with pug noses and little a ,rret eyes, which make them the t iost unattractive of human crea- t .tures. I can now understand why 9 de Arab thinks more of his horse ban he does of his wife, for the t orse is both pretty and fast and c Le wife is neither one or the t ther. If Rachel looked thus 9 acob paid a fearful price for her, ven with a herd of goats thrown p ito the bargain; and if Leah was G ot. as good looking as her sister, should regard it as one of the ightfalest swindles ever recorded a i history. In no one thing is the e lent but rapid change which is 0 oing on in Furope, more percep Ible than it is in national costume. a t is only in the small towns and t illages that you can find the dis s nctive national characteristics. In n erlin or Vienna, at Frankfort or t] 1russels, the people you meet are s ressed all alike, and are in nothing s ifferent from the people in Lon- b on, Paris or New York. The " rould-be belle of St. Petersburg rags her costly flounces through ~ be mud with as much nonchalance s her transcontinental sister, and r lories as much in all the mysteries d f rats, mice, crimpers, pull1 backs, ~ Lingamabobs and whatdeyecallums, i~ s the fashionable dames of Liver uol and Manchester, Boston or il hiladelphia. But it is a delight- 9 21 thing to see them grouped to-i ether, for in France there are iore distinctive lines of character. d 'he soldier, with his dashing uni- 2 >rm ; the priest, with his immense at and his somber flowing robes;y be grey monk, in sandaled feet f nid shaven head, his robe of coarse c uff and his girdle of twisted rope, a mnd constant variety to the pic- a are The awards, as usual, have caused C 11 sorts of bitterness and heart- 1i urning. And this has been the t istory of every International Es- r, ibition since 1851. Firms that r ave expended thousands upon 1 bousands, and have looked for. a rard with certainty to the honor of e gold medal and find their hopes nnihilated by a bronze medal or s 2erely honorable mention. As r >ng as men are men, it is impossi- . le that it could be otherwise, for C preponderance of friends on the b 2ost impartial jury in the world is r angerong to the cause of justice. t The season of fetes is about com- a 2encing, and it is somewhat re 2arkable that the great military of L few weeks ago was participated I a by the royal representatives of e he very* nations that have doneC aore to destroy the military as endancy of France than all the t est of the world combined. At 9 he final review on the 15th at 6 rincennes, as the Russian Grand ( )uke and the Prince cf Wales t Lashed down the line, flags were t ipped, arms presentLed, and hun- r red.s of thousands roared them elves hoarse for the descendants the men who drove their fathers i ack through the blinding snowso f Russia and hurled her shattered I attalions all bleeding and torn rom the field of Waterloo. The uccess of the Exposition is assured ( s far as the inter p4ipnal triumph t a concerned. Its humanizing in tuence will extend ". b>eyond the ~ ear ET, and may possibly leave ts impress on ages and ages to t ne The national treaury will iave to supply a few millions of rancs to make up the probable leficiency; but the plethoric sacks f the merchant, the mechanic, the abman and hotel keeper will more han compensate for the loss and aake them wish for another ex ibition in 1879.

The action of the State Board of ( iqualization has been sharply criti- C ised in Abbeville, Lexington, Lan ister, and other counties, where it is f sserted that the valuation cf property 3 roposed by the State Board is an in- I rease upon the assessment on which ixes is now paid,- and in excess of a de true value of the property. Our 1 )nteuiporaries misunderstand' the of ct of the action of the Board, and I ave not been correctly informed as I ) the proposed assessment. But t issatisfaction with any procedure is, t least, the best way of provoking I iat discussion by which the whole a -uth can be brought out, and we are lad to giVe our aid in exposing the t iodes of taxation in South Carolina, > that any existing evils may be In fligently considered and permanently red. The first step is to review the ix system in South Carolina. We c ive a clear summary: . ( Taxes are raised as follows: C 1. An Appropriation Act is passed i roviding for the necessities of the 'rovernment. 2. Then by comparison of the ag- a regate so obtained with the assessed e alue of the taxable property of the tate, the number of mills is as artained which will raise the amount t ecessary, and that number of mills is t vied as a tax. t It will be seen, therefore, that the 1 bsolute valuation of the property of f ie taxpayer is a matter of no con- t >quence to him; for instance, if 5 t iills upon an assessment will raise the I im needed, 21 mills will be levied if I Kie assessment be doubled, but the ( am taken from the people will be the ime. Reduce the assessment one- I alf, and to raise the sum needed 10 t iills will be levied. While the ab. t Jte valuation is thus of little mat er, the relative assessment of property I Sof the greatest consequence. In-< istice is done demanding prompt I aparation when the property of an in ( ividual is valued higher than similar f roperty of his fellow taxpayers. The law of assessment is as fol- dj ws: 1L Personal property being much of < invisible, is subjected to an in-J uisitorial process. The taxpayer is 4 quired to list it and himself values] o o ath. Bis oath determines its alue, and is so taken unless fraud, sc., is suspected; then the County uditor and Board of Equalization I re vested with very high powers in scertaining the true amount and alue. These finally settle the value >r assesso,ent of personalty in each ounty fur itself, subject only to an ppeal to the Comptroller-General by taxpayer deeming himself aggrieved. < 2. Real property, being visible, is ssessed by a different method. The< ~ounty Auditors themselves make a t of each tract anid lot of realty in e county and fix value upon it. In I oing this they are aided by assessors gularly appointed, are vested with owers of inspection, &c., and when is land has escaped the Auditor's< ttention or new structures have been rected, the owner is required to re- I ort the same. (A A. 1874, 681, sec. 8, 59, 125. Rev. Stats. p. 66, 1 sc. 61.) The taxpayer's oath is not equired by the law as to the value f his land. While relative valhations are alone f consequence, some standard must e adopted; the Auditor is, therefore, quired to assess the land at the sual selling price of similar property t the place where the returns are >ade. (A A. 1874, No. 631, sec. 50.)< The Auditor submits his list ofi inds and valuations to the Countyi ~oard of Equalization, who proceed to qualize the sum by adding to or de ucting from the valuations of the1 everal parcels so that each tract or1 >t be entered at its true value, b;ut !te Board cannot vyduce the aggre ate value of the county below the ggregate returned by the Auditor. Ibid, Section 61, A A. 1875, 798.) A just relative valuation having hus, in contemplation of law, been at ained between the taxpayers in their espective Counties, the law now at ampts to secure a just relative valua ion between the Counties themselves,I ad for this purpose creates the Statei soard of Equalization, consisting of ne member from each Congressional' )istrict resident therein, to be ap- - ointed by the Governor, and three of be State offieers, to wit i Seeetary I f State1 '.easurer and Cow"' oller-I eneral, are called nopa1.O eirssao1nog the Comptroller-i eneral, lays before them the ab- 1 tracts of the real property of each] ~ounty made up as described, and 1 fterwards communicates its actions to .1 he County Auditors. The emans takea n oath to dis -harge their duty to the best of their knowledge and ability, and proceed to ''equalize the valuations of real prop ,rty awoog the several Counties" of ,he State. (AA. 1874, 631, Section 34.)r The action of this Board is re- d< iorted to the General Asseinbiy at its b< iext session, and, until accepted and , :onfirmed by its adoption, no tax is 2. evied or collected upon it. The Gen- ' ,ral Assembly may adopt it in whole d >r in part, and by a joint resolution 7. nay direct the Comptroller General to 1 ate any County differently from the ra ate reported by the Board. In this a ase there is no reassessment, but the a ustruction of the tax levying power is St peedily carried out through the ta JoInptroller-General's office and office w f the Auditor of the County affected. This summary brings out the salient re acts that the State .Bord have not eot affected, in any way, the assessed by alue of property in South Carolina. pc "heir decision does not touch the a ssessment on which taxes have just a ieen paid, nor does it become opera ive for the succeeiing fiscal year, PC eginuing this month, until it shall su Lave been approved and confirmed by tb he Legislature. ed We shall next submit an official re >ort of the proceedings of the Board, m .id show how far they have raised the th aluation of property for purposes of ac axation, th PRIE AUGUSTA MONUMENT. -' ca There was an immense concourse us f persons at the unveiling of the ci Jonfederate Monument in Augusta, 01 n the 1st inst. The ceremonies vere very touohing and impressive. 7he monument is obelisk in shape, a nd rises seventy-two feet to the Y< tatue at the top. The base, of Geor- pr ;ia granite, is twenty-two feet square, ci .nd is laid upoa a raised foundation, m ocreasing the altitude of the structure o seventy-six feet. With the excep- b ion of this granite forming the steps, tb he monument is built of the finest w nonumental marble. At each of the se our corners of the base it i3 proposed s o place an iron or stone cannon. On he first section of the monument iroper are inserted four tablets, each earing an appropriate inscription. h: )n the North side-"In memoriam. o No nation rose so white and fair, d( ione fell so puro of crime.' Worthy o have lived and known our grati ude; worthy to be hallowed and held - i tender remembrance; worthy the 0 adeless fame which Confederate sol- dl liers won, who gave themselves in o ife and death for us; for the honor of L 1eorgia; for the rights of the States; ar 'or the liberties of the people ; for the bi entim3ents of the South; for the it. >rinciples-of the Union, as they were re iande.d down to them by the fathers i >f our common country." On the ~ast side-?"Our Confederate dead." P~ )n the West side-'Grected A. D. tlh 878, by the Memorial Association of be Augusta, in honor of the men of Iii .ichmnond County, who died in the ause of the Confederate States" At a" he top of the first section, twenty SC eet from the base, stand in bas-relief, w t the corners, life-sized statues of it >f Generals R. E. Lee, W. H. ('. Walker, Stonewall Jackson and ['howas R. R. Cobb, representing re- te pectively the Lost Cause, the State Ie f Georgia and Richimond County. is Lhe second section above the statues in f the Generals contains various Con- a ~ederate emblems carved upon two ides showing the coat.of-arms of the Jonfederate States and that of the di state of Georgia. The obelisk rises c >roportionately with tasteful orna- a nentations from this section to the ap, where it is surmounted by au tatue of a private Confederate soldier, o ieroie size, at rest. The United sc tates and Confederate flags, corn- st >ined with "peace" overhead, make di in appropriate banner. ~0 MUSIC TAKEN OUT OF A SONG.- te [be latest sentimental ballad is tI mtitled ''Give Me the Home of w KIy Childhood."

So they are. ut boys are wanted-bonest, anly, noble boys. Some one has ,clared, and truly, that these >ys should possess ten points, hich are thus given: 1. Honest. Intelligent. 3. Active. 4. In istrious. 5. Obedient. 6. Steady. Obliging. 8. Polite. 9. Neat. Truthful. One thousand first te places are open for one thous d boys who come up to the indard. Each boy can suit his ste as to the kind of business he )uId prefer. The places are dy ii every kiud of occupation any of them are already filled boys who luck some important ints, but they will soon be ra nt. Some situations will soon be cant, because the boys have been isoned by. reading bad books, ch as they would not dare show eir fathers, and would be asham to have their mothers see. The pure thoughts suggested by ese books will lead to vicious ts, the boys will be ruined, and eir places must be filled. Who 11 be ready for one of these va ncies? Distinguised lawyers, eful ministers, skillful physi Ws, successful merchants, must soon leave their places for sone e else to fill. One by one they e removed by death. Mind wr ten points, boys; they will epare you to step into vacan ,s in the front rank. Every an who is worhy- to employ a y is looking for you if you have e points. Do not fear that you il be overlooked. A young per n having all these qualities will ine as plainly as a star at night. LITTLE CHILDREN.-People who ,bitually pui little children out their hearts, and close their >ors upon them, have no idea >w much comfort they set asid: what pleasure, what amusement. course the little creatures med e with thimgs, and leave the aces of their fingers on the wall, Ld cry, and "bother" a little ; Lt when one gets in the way of as mothers and other loving latives do, those things become of inor importance. They say such 'etty things, and do such funny ings ; the touch of their little mnds is so soft; the sound of their tle voices so sweet ; their faces e so pretty ; their movements graceful and so comical. The hole family goes baby- mad-and is no wonder. No book .was 'er written that was half so in resting as a little child that is arning to talk and to think, that developing from a tiny animal to a being with a conscience da heart. Parents who cram their chil en into an up-stairs nursery, in mpany with a nurse, while they o into society ;" old bachelor ecles who always call somea e to take away that trouble-. me one if he scrambles into the udy ; or aunts who detest chil -en because they climb upon to's lap, and rumple flounces and ar laces, are all losing more than e smiles and bows of people ho care nothing for them. The ost important business affairs, the most immaculate toilets, ne never repay them ; for the reetest thing is a little child ben it has learnt to know and ye 'ne. Plenty and indigence depend on the opinion every one has of em; and riches no more than ory of health, have no more auty or pleasure than their issessor is pleased to lend them. Very few people go into an gument in order to discover the tith of the matter. They want hold their Qwn and rout the emyp Uence, .the general loss temper. We are only real!y alive when e enjoy the good will of others. He only employs his passion bio can make no use of his reason. Wine has drowned more per.: us than the sea. Few things are impossible to ill anid industry.
