TO FATHER RYAN. Arrcii rraoi.no his voli'mnr or pokms. Land of tho South, where Nature smiles, And perfumes, waiting from the islas Of tropic seas, spread thro' the air And leave their gratoful incense there ; Where fields all tubed in fleecy while, And forests green the eye delight; Thou uiust entwine another wreath. Fresh gathered from thy flowery heath. Oft hast thou docked the statesman's brow ; A poet claims thy laurals now; (live him a rich and fadaless crown, And gild his name with bright renown. Tbou poet, priest, whose faith sublime Has leaped the realms of space and time, Whose spirit in its lofty flight Has surely seen the Heavenly lijiht Anil rovetlcd where the cherubim Sing anthems 'round the throne of Him Whose gifted child and priest thou nrt ; We hail the ! For thy words impurt Sweet solace to the wounded breast, With tears and sorrows sore oppressed. When thou nrt sad, an 1 billows roll Across the pathway of thy soul, How soft the music of thy lyre ! Hut when the touch of hallowed fire Sweeps boldly o'er the tuneful strings, How truly grand the music rings ! We mount with the ascending notes Until the soul in ether floats And leaves behind the lesser lights That pale in those empyrean heights. These grander strains the earth's dull car Is not refined enough to hear ; Hut there's a chord within the soul That vibrates to the hymnal roll? The spirit lithe cau catch the sound, Tho' deepest silence reigns around. Farewoll, sweet poet ; may thy life l'ass smoothly down the verduut slope, Nor outword woe nor inward strife Impair thy faith or blight thy hope. And when Almighty God's command Shall call thee to that Hotter Land, niny my (osseu spirit wing its mgiii To realms of never fading light. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES.

I doubt if any youug girl, who has just j taken on herself the vows of* wife, and is I about cuteriug on the po?scssion of a new houie, cvor allows herself to think of the cures, trials and responsibilities, which forui so large a share of every housekeeper's life. She has dreamed loug bright dreams of the uow home to which every woman looks for- ' ward ; sho has painted glowing pictures of * the cheerful lireside, where Lova aud Peace s.iall sit as daily welcome guests; she has ] imagined everything bright and hopeful, | and has persistently refused to believe that * her dreams may not be fulfilled, that her 1 hopes may fail of fruition. And yet, to the shame of our modern education be it said, the young wife's first experience in her own ; home is uot only humiliating in the extreme, but one that is calculated to scud the bright dreams flying "like leaves before the wind." J Nearly every girl is versed in the poetry s of housekeeping. It is usually called "helping mother," aud consists iu dusting the t parlor furniture, filling the vases, arranging 11 the lights and shades, so as to show.the J room off iu the most attractive manner; in ? the scttisg of the table so that nnpkins, sil- t ver, and glassware shall be disposed of to 'J the best advantage ; iu going into the kiteh- c eu at stated iutervals, enveloped iu a long apron, aud an air of importance, to concoct ? a dessert which shall testify to her skill, and at the same time form a dainty und l; toothsome ending to a meal which has been the perfection of cookery. 1 Hut of the prose?the serious, importaut i n.'irt.?villi* iv irlmllv iininr-ttif nr ln?i* < ...... ... ......... ........ j ................ ..... V knowledge is so limited, as to be of no avail. 0 ]>ut what one doesn't know ouc must learn, 8 and so the young housekeeper marches c boldly into her kitchen with the feeling of fcone who is determined to "do and dare," fi hut who would prefer to "cut and run." The kitcheu! What a valley of humiliation * it has been to thousands of young housckeepers, and will continue to he to many more, y until the mothers of the laud grow wise c euough to give their daughters that llior- c ough training which they so well know 9 is csscutiul to the comfort aud welfare of a v family. n The first trouble is gcucrally with tho r stove. New stoves?for, of course, no one would allow an old stove to couie into the J polished brightness of her new kitchen? , have a habit of getting red-hot, and icy t cold, in a very short space of time, which t is trying cnongh to those who are accus? | toiued to the use of stoves, but simply ter- ' rifying to those who are not. Then the "good fire," of which the cook- u books constantly speak, is understood as b meaning a great, roaring blaze, instead of V the gentle, steady flame, "slowing down" J.1 as the end approaches, till by the time din- S( nor is ready only a little wreath of steam, r or a V-.uut simmer. indicates the presence of c tire at all. lu consequence of twin misun- 11 dcrstauding, or rather owing to the neglect 1 of the cook-hooks in failing to make things so plain that they cannot he misunderstood, a'great many dinners Qnd their way to the ^ swill-barrel. The touder, juicy roast comoe forth from its baptism of tire hard and black on top and raw at the bottom. The ( biscuit shrivel into tlat, hard lumps, which |, yet have a half apologetic look, as much as to say : "Don't blame us ! If you had a only transferred that awful top-heat to the 11 bottom, we should have risen up as white J| and putfy as heart could desire." And the ? bread, which was to have been so light and n wholesome, ''just like mother's bread," splinters its crust, and spreads its heart of " dough along the knife, which has vainly 1 cudeavorcd to cut it. Of course, only B enough is eaten to keep down the pangs of t hunger, the rest goes to fatten somebody's 0 pig, while somebody's darling for whom it J' was prepared, grows dyspeptic, begins to J look at life through the eyes of doubt, and to wender vaguely, if a state of single bles- g ecdness is not, alter all, the one to be de- h sired. * When thing6 come to this pass, the u young wit3 had better pause and take couu- ,, sel with herself, because it is one of the t> most dangerous times that ever conies to d any woman. A single hasty stop now, and a broken home and bitter memories uiay he the result. The best thing you can do is to shut up A your house, go right back to youi mother and let her do for you what she should have uoue long ago, teach you letter by letter is the alphabet of housekeeping. Or, if that t; is impossible, cultivate the acquaintance of e: sume wise, experienced housekeeper, buy a good cook book, a nice little note book and b a new load pencil and begin your cduca- si tion. The friend will open her store house cl of information, will uiakc clour to you (he C mysteries of the cook book?and it is full a< of mysteries to the uninitiated?teach you a to obtain the controlling power over that la stove, and so aid you that your work will ni he greatly lessened. The little note book will gather within its cover the most valna- b hie of your own private experiments, all p your observations, all that you read or hear h on the subject, iu short everything that will h he useful to you, or any one else, and in ii after-time its "wisdom written pages" will h he worth more to you than you can imagine tl now. a Finally, when the hard times are past, h and the machinery moves smoothly, with- il out jar or hitch, let the remembrance of h your (rials aid you iu educating your daiigli- p ters so that (heir experience may not be a o repetition of y?ur own. The plain, unal- ii tractive part first, the graceful linishing t< touches afterward, Cut the responsibility or managing a house on ilioin, while you t are still near, to aid and sustain, mot ?hoy \ w ill "rise up and call you blessed."?House s /. er/nr. ? . ?. a A Cai'Itol JlKVKitAtiK.?Mr. McClurc, ii of the I'hiladelphia Tunes, has apparently been sampling the Leverages at the Capitol, o The test was satisfactory, judging by his r enthusiastic remark tbut "when Commix- e siouer la: l>uo can raise the kind of cold tea w that is sold at ^thc Capitol restaurant he u can get as big an appropriation from Con tl gross for the purchase of an experimental tea farm as he may ask for."

Should the "Legislature he reconvened it > to be hoped they will not adjourn before iking action upon the equalization of real state. The Slate Hoard do not appear to have cstowed much time or thought upou this J abject. They uiadc a few unimportant liatiges in the assessments reported by the ouuty Hoards of Kqualizatiou and then 1 ijourried, leaving inequalities of so grave " character as to reuder any taxation upon nubs, as now assessed, nltogethor unequal J nd unjust. s * * * Abbeville, with some of the a est lands in the State, is rated at 57 ccuts t er acre lower than Greenville, only 75 cts. igher than Darlington, ami only 44 cents j iglier than Sumter. Laud with buildings v i Abbeville is assessed at 77 cents per acre i ss than (ireenvillc, only 40 cents higher linn Darlington, and actually 11 cents per ere lower than the comparatively poor uids id' Sumter. Charleston County with :s immensely rich truck farms and its pricc ss phosphate beds, averages only 81.01 or acre?less than half the assessed value ' f lands in (Jrecnville! 31.00 less than lands o a Abbeville! ami 81 25 less than in Sum- ? er ! i Lands in Clarendon are assessed at less t han half the value of lands in Sumter, di:.i ..i i : i:..?

Many similar iuc?|ualities exist through ! . tlicr counties, and yet the State Hoard f lined and lowered a few counties by 10 per 1 ent. only and h it the entire planting and 'ood lands of the Stale at almost the same neijtial and unfair valuations placed upon , K in l>y the local boards. Practically, the late Hoard did nothing. 'J'hc Mcneral Assembly, which is by law he final and supreme board of equalization, lid not even cousidcr the subject at all.? It was uot brought to their attention by the Joinptroller General who, it would seem, vas the proper ofiieial to do so, nud no G ncuibcr of either house appears tc have hought about it. It is not too late now or tho General Assembly, if it docs uicet igain, to take up this question and remedy ho gravo injustice which the unequulized issessment works in tho St.ito Tho fir?i ollection of taxes does uot take place until he first of May and 'there is plenty of tiuie *<>r tho County Auditors to correct their L cal estate assessments, when so instructed >y tho Legislature. It need uot be apprehended that the total raluc of real estate will be reduced by a iropcr system of equalisation. Far from O t; the effect will be a very largo increase n the assessed value of real estate, aud < loiisequently a largely increased revenue tt v roui tlie taxes, or, still better, a greatly reluced rate of taxation.?A Tax-Payer, n Columbia liegittcr. The Lien Law Nor Disturbed.?Tho Legislature, at its last session, passed a Dill 'cpcaliug Section 4, Chapter CXX of the jrcueral Statutes, and some have thought, vithout looking into the matter, that the lieu aw had been disturbed. The Section alluled to is on page 549 of the General Statltcs, and reads as follows : "Every person >r persons who shall mortgage the same *oods or chattels a second time, a former norfgage being in force and not discharged, ihall have no power or liberty of redemp.ion in equity or otherwise." Section 4 was ntended to take away any right of redempion from any person who should be guilty Q: if giving n second lien on property to oue jarty where it had already been mortgaged o another. The Section really amounted ^ o nothing, as very lew persons ol the class ^ vho would be rascally enough to give a sec>nd mortgage on property knew of its exisencc, and if tliey did, few, if any, could roIcbui property twico mortgaged. The rejcaiing of Section 4. Chapter CXX, thereore, hurts nobody, as better laws exist that jive more adequate punishment to those lisposcd to commit frauds against any who nay bo willing to do them a service.

CLARK, SOLE AGENT, 400 HUOARWAY, NEW YORK. The distinctive features of tliis spool cotton arc that it is made from the very finest SEA ISLAND COTTON. It is finished soft as the cotton from which it is made ; it lias no waxing or artificial finish to deceive the eyes ; it is the strongest, smoothest and most clastic sewing thread in the market : for machine sewing it has no e<]iial ; it is wound ou WHITE SPOOLS. The Black is the most perfect JET BLACK ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed by a isystern patented by ourselves. The colors arc dyed by the NEW ANILINE PROCESS. rendering them so perfect and brilliant that dressmakers everywhere use them instead of * sewing silks. A Gold Medal was awarded this spool cotton at l*aris, in 1S7S, for "great strcngtli"tand "general excellence," being the highest award given for spool cotton. We invite comparion and respectfully ask tallies to give it a fair trial and convince them selves of its superiority over all others.
