In the track os the fallen sun,
And we feel ihe quiet, within and without,
That comes when the day is done.
What have we been doing nll day, all day,
Since the rosy morning smiled:

But much fear those little hands

You have not learned regret
For the sorrOwful years that make us wise
Have rot come to my baby yet.
And still, as sit in this twilight hour,
At the close of weary day,
Even sorrow and sin do not quite have power
TO keep blessing away
A blessing that falls like the dew from heaven
DC the parched and thirsty ground;
And in loving much, because much forgiven,
My deeper peace is found.
Your life, my baby, is just begun,
And mine is growing old;
But we're children both in the eyes Of 0Ie

HOMESTEAD RELIEF.


The provisions Of the new Constitution
a family not exceeding in value SlGCO, to-
gcther with the products thereof. aud also
SlQ0 worth of other personal pro:iertv, is Il
wise aud humane ueasure, and should induce
your early attention in the passage OF al Act
directing the nlanuer in which the details
may be carried out The great advantage Of
this measure is, tha: while it Identifies every
citizen with the s,il and nourishe5 lis love of
State and country, it is Likewise an induce.
ment to the labourer to save his earnings and
invest them in permanent residence, where
his wife and children may have shelter and
protection. Equally sagacious is the provis
ion which secures to the married woman her
property held at the time Of marriage, Tor
which she may afterwards acquire by gift,
grant, inheritance, devise. or otherwise" In
most Of the States Of he Uaion this law has
long prevailed, and doubtless it would haye
Lsen Incorporated among the statutes ofSouth
Carolina, had not its necessity been obviated
by the more inconyenient and cumbrous
method of conveying such property for the
benefit of married women in trust whereby
the debts and control OF the husband.
This feature of the new Constitution, how.
ever, is more simple and comprehensive, and
while it may be objected that both it and the
homestead exemption will have the tendency
to affect credit, there can be no question that
if such be the result, it will operate benefi-
caly upon society. Nothing, perhaps, has
so much cIogged the prosperity ofpersons en-.
gagged in agricultural pursuits in the South,
for many years past, as the unlimited credit
resorted to BY those who always anticipate
the products of their farms and plantations a
year in advance. il this evil be checked, it
will rebound greatly to the benefit OF all
classes.
Some doubts have been expressed as to the
constitutonality Of the provisions of the
homestead law, when applied to debts already
existing but careful examination Of the
decisions which have been made in other
States settles The question beyond peradven-
ture, that the Grneral Assembly has the au-
thority to apply the exemption to existing
debts, even such as may now be in judgment
and execution, as well as to future debts.
X X
The proyisions, thersiora or the new Con.
stituton, securing homestead and certain
articles Of property for the benefit of each
family, is sanctioned by the highest judicial
authority in New York, Michigan, Massachu
setts and other States, AS we'll as by legal
writers Of eminent ability; and there is no
reasonable doubt that any ew whila may 10
passed by you, 10 carry into effect the humane
Intentions Of the homestead exemption, will
