I-and of Ihe South, where Nitun smiles, Aii>1 perfumes, waiting from the islas Of tropic seas, spread lliro' the air And leave their grateful incense there ; Where fields all robed iu 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 laurnls now ; (.live him a rich and fadeless crown, And gild his uame with height renown. Thou poet, priest, whose faith sublime llss leaped the realms of space and time, Whose spirit in its lofty flight lias surely seen the Heavenly light And revelled where the chernbitn Sing anthems 'round the throne of Ilim Whoso gifted child and priest thou art ; We hail the ! For thy words impart Swcot solace to tho wounded breast, With tears and sorrows sore oppressed. AVhnn flinti nrl ?oi1 tin 1 KUIawu *..11 Across the pathway of thy soul. How soft the music of thy lyre ! .lint when the touch of halloweil fire Sweeps boldly o'er the tuneful strings, How truly grand the music rings ! M'o mount with the ascending notes Until the soul in ether floats And leaves behind the lesser lights That pale iu those empyrean heights. These grander strains the earth's dull car Is not refined enough to hear ; liut there's a chord within the soul That vibrates to the hymnal roll? The spirit lithe can catch the sound, Tho' deepest silence reigns around. Farewell, sweet poet ; may thy life Toss smoothly down the verdant slope, Nor outword woo nor inward strife lmpnir thy faith or blight thy hope. And when Almighty God's command Shall call thee to that Rettor Land, May thy tossed spirit wing its flight To realms of never fading light. . ? HOUSEHOLD RECIPES.

I doubt if any young girl, who has just taken on herself the tows of a wife, and is about enteriug on the possession of a new houae, evor allows herself to think of the cares, trials and responsibilities, which form so largo a share of every housekeeper's life. She has dreamed loug bright dreuuis of the ucw home to which cvory woman looks forward ; 8ho lins painted glowing pictures of the cheerful fireside, wliero Lova and Peace ?.Kin Bit as uany welcome guests; she lias imagined everything bright aud hopeful, and has pcrsistcutly refused to believe that her dreams may not bo fulfilled, that her 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 not ouly humiliating iu the extreme, but one that is calculated to send the bright dreams flying "like leaves before tho wind." Nearly every girl is versed in the poetry of housekeeping. It is usually called "helping mother," aud cousists in dustiog the parlor furniture, filling the vases, arranging tho lights und shades, so as to show.the room ofT in the most attractive manner ; iu the scttiag of the table so that napkins, silver, and glassware ahull be disposed of to the best advantage ; iu going into the kitcbcu at slated intervals^ enveloped in a long uprou, and an air of importance, to concoct a dessert which shall testify to her skill, and at tho same time form a dainty and toothsome ending to a meal which has becu the perfection of cookery. But of the prose?tho serious, important part?she is cither wholly ignorant, or her kuowlcdgc is so limited, as to be of no avail. lint luKat ott.1 i\ r\c\ot\ ' t L'nntv ! *? * V n.uv/? V/UVi U.USl ICII U, aud so the young housekeeper marches boldly into her kitchen with the feeliug of one who is determined to "do and dare," but who would prefer to "cut and ruu." The kitcheu! What a valley of humiliation it has been to thousands of young housekeepers, aud will contiuuc to be to many more, until tbc mothers of tho laud grow wise euough to givo their daughters that thorough training which they so well know is essential to the comfort aud welfare of a family. The first trouble is generally with the stove. New stoves?for, of course, no one would allow an old stove to come into the polished brightness of hor new kitchen? have a habit of getting red-hot, and icy cold, in a very short space of time, which AO tlJiU? VUVIIgU IU tuuou n IIU UIU ilL't'US? toaied to the use of stoves, but simply terrifying t hose who are not. Then t>-3 "good fire," of which the cookbooks constantly speak, is uudcrstood as meaning a great, roaring blaze, instead of the geutle, steady flame, "slowing down" as the end approaches, till by tho lime dinnor is ready only a little wreath of steam, v? ? faint aimoicr, indicates the presence of Arc at all. In consequence of vu;H misunderstanding, or rather owing to tho neglect of the cook-books in failing to make things so plain that they caunot be misunderstood, a'great many dinners And their way to the swill-barrel. Tha Under, juicy roast comos forth from its baptism of lire hard and black on top and raw at tho bottom. The biscuit shrivel into flat, hard lumps, which yet have a half apologetic look, as much as to say : "Pou't blame us ! If you had ouly transferred that awful top-heat to the bottom, we should have riseu up as white aud puflfy as hoart could desire." And the bread, which was to have becu so light and wholesome, ''just like mother's broad," splinters its crust, and spreads its heart of dough along the knife, which has vuinly endeavored to cut it. Of course, ouly enough is eaten to keep dowu the pangs of hunger, the rest goes to fatten somebody's pig, while somebody's darling for whom it was prepared, grows dyspeptic, begins to look at life through the eyes of doubt, and to wender vaguely, if a state of single blesseducss is not, after all, the one to be dc sired. When thin?6 come to this pass, the young wib had better pause and take counsel with herself, bccauso it is ouc of the most dangerous times that ever oouies to any woman. A single hasty stop now, aud a broken home and bitter memories may be the result. The best thing you can do is to shut up your house, go right back to your mother and let her do for you what she should have doue long ago, teach you letter by letter the alphabet of housekeeping. Or, if that is impossible, cultivate the acquaintance of some wise, experienced housekeeper, buy a good cook book, a nice little note book and a new lead pencil and begin your education. The friend will open her store-house of information, will make clear to you the mysteries of the cook book?and it is full oi' mysteries to the uninitiated?teach you to obtain the controlling power over that stove, aud so aid you that your work will be greatly lessened. The little note-book will gather within its cover the most valuable of your owu private experiments, all your observations, all that you read or hear ou the subject, in short orcrything that will be useful to you, or any one else, and in ai'ter-tiuie its "wisdom written pages" will be worth more to you than you can imagine now. Finally, when the bard times arc past, and the machinery moves smoothly, without jar or hitch, let the remembrance of your trials aid you in educating jour daughters so that their experience may not be a repetition of your own. Tho plain, unattractive part first, tho graceful finishing touchos afterward. Put tho responsibility or uiiiuugtug a iiuuso on thorn, while you are still near, to aid and sustain, and tUv will "rise up and oall you blessed."?Housekeeper. >?. A Capitol Hkvkkaok.?Mr. McClure, of ibo Philadelphia Tones, has apparently been sampling tbo be?erages at the Capitol. The test was satisfactory, judging by his enthusiastic remark that "whoa Commissioner lie Duo ean raise the kind of cold tea that is sold at ^the Capitol restaurant, he can get as big an appropriation from Congress fur the purchase of an experimental tea farm as lie may ask for."

THE EXTBA SESSION. A VEHV IMPORTANT SUBJECT WHICH NEED; ATTENTION. Should theiicgislaturo be reconvened i is to be hoped they will not adjourn befori taking action npon (ho equalization of reu estate. Tho Slate Hoard do not appear to have bestowed much time or thought upon thi; subject. They made a few uoimportan changes in the assessments reported by tlx County Boards of Equalization and thee adjourned, leaving inequalities of so grav< a character as to render aDy taxation upoi luuds, as now assessed, altogether unequa and unjust. * * * Abbeville, with some of the best lands in the State, is rated at 57 ccufc per acre lower than Greenville, only 75 cts higher than Darlington, and only 44 centi higher than Sumter. Land with buildings in Abbevillo is assessed at 77 cunts per aero less than Greenville, only 40 cents highei than Darlington, and actually 11 cents pci acre lower than the comparatively pooi luu(18 ot aumtcr. i/liarlcston Uounty will its immensely rich truck farms and its price less phosphuto beds, averages only 81.9] per acre?less than half thu assessed value of lauds in Greenville! 81.G9 less than landi in Abbeville! and 81.25 less than in Sunt tcr ! Lands in Clarendon aro assessed at lesi than half the value of lands in Sumtor, di vided by an imaginary line and having lh< same general oharacler and productiveness $1.35 per aero less than lunds in Darlington and about one-lhird the assessment of landi in Greenville. Muuy similar inequalities exist througl other counties, and yet tbo State Boart raised and lowered a few counties by 10 pel CPnl nnlo nnd If* ft iho onhrA nlsnfimr nnt j .... I-?-6 ??" wood lands of tho Stale at almost the sauu unequal and unfair valuations placed upor them by tho local boards. Practically, lh< Stnto Hoard did nothing. 1 The General Assembly, which is by law the final and supreme board of equalization, did not even consider the subject at nil.? 1 It was not brought to thoir attention by tho Comptroller tieuernl who, it would seem, was tho proper official to do so, aud no G member of either houso appears to have thought about it. It is not too lato now lor tho Oenoral Assembly, if it docs uicct again, to take up this question and remedy . tho grave injustice which the ucequalized assessment works in the State. Tho first i collection of taxes does not tako place until the first of May and 'there is plenty of time r for the County Auditors to correct thoir L , real ostate assessments, when so instructed i by the Legislature. It need not be apprehended that the total valuo of real estate will be reduced by a . proper system of equalisation. Far from 0 it; tho effect will be a very largo iucreasc > in tho assessed value of real estate, and 1 consequently a largely increased rcveuue a I Iroui the taxes, or, still better, a greatly reduced rate of taxation.?A Tax-Payer, m Columbia Ilcaistcr. Tiik Lien Law Not Disturbed.?Tho ? Legislature, at its Inst session, passed a Bill ( repealing Section 4, Chapter CXX of the , Gcueral Statutes, and souie have thought, . without looking iuto the matter, that tho lien law had been disturbed. Tho Section allu ded to is on page 549 of the General StatI utcs, and reads as follows : "Every person 3 or persons who shall mortgage the same u .goods or chattels a second time, a former ^ - mortgage being in force and not discharged, r shall have no power or liberty of redemp1 tion in equity or otherwiso." Section 4 was iutended to take away any right of rcdemp3 tion from any person who should bo guilty G f of giving a second lien on property to one ' party where it hod already been mortgaged 1 to another. Tho Scctiou really aniouuted ^ to nothing, as very few persons of the class f who would be rascally enough to give a sccl ond mortgago on property knew of its exis1 tcnco, aud if they did, few, if any, could redeem property twice mortgaged. Tho repealing of Section 4, Chapter CXX, thcre9 fore, hurts nobody, as better laws exist that t give more adequato punishment to those disposed to commit frauds against any who [ may bo willing to do them a service. .
