WHO KNOWS e--HOME QUESTION.

WHO KNOWS ..-HOME QUESTION.
Who knows where pins and needles go
Where all the buttons stray?
Who knows where all the pennies 60,
That somehow get away?
Who knows how all the china breaks
That wasn't touched at all?
How baby gets so black bruise,
Yet never gets fall?
Who knows whence all the fashions come,
And, when they disappear,
Why one brief month should make fright
Ofwhat was "such a dear?"
Who knows little bills can swell
To such prodigious size?
Who knows, indeed, what's going on
Beneath his very eyes?
Who knows Just where her husband goes
When "busness'' keeps him out?
Who knows when best to wear smile,
And when to wear pout?
Who knows the time to face the fact
That she's no longer young?
Who knows how best to speak her mind,
And how to hold her tongue?
Who knows the most convenient day
To bring friend to dine?
Who knows the half of what he spends
On clubs, cigars and wine?
Who knows one bonnet cannot last
A woman half her life?
Who knows the woman is the same
When sweetheart turns to wife?
Who knows why all the pretty girls
Are often last to go?-
How all the ugly women wed
Who never have beau?
Why small men fancy wives so large,
And large men fancy smallf
Who knows, in fact, how half the world
Was ever matched at all
Who knows how far to trust friend?
How far to hate a foe?
Just when to speak kindly eyes,"
And when a sturdy mop
Who knows? The grim old Grecian sage
Says, gravely, "For myself,
The wisest man in all the world
Is he who knows himself"

K1NDL1NG WooD.-Now is the time for
housewives to see to it that there is in store a
plentiful supply of kindling wood under Gov
er, 80 that the fall rains cannot reach it.
Those who depend upon wood for fuel have
little time enough, if they have not already
attended to the matter, to prepare for the
winters cold so fast coming to u.s. Green
and wet wood does not 60 nearly so far as
dry in heating or cooking, and its capacity to
use up ones patience is simply wonderful. A
stick in time will save nine. "Sheltering fuel
beneath snowbank in winter, and under a
thunder-cloud at other seasons Of the year,
is the worst Of economy.

EDUCATION AMONG FARMERs.-Iti is fact
shown before the British Parliament, that
while the rental of land in Ireland had
doubled during the previous hundred years,
and that of England trebled, the rental Of
Scotland had sextupled itself in the same
time. This is attributed mainly to the vastly
superior school system which Scotland has
possessed, and the skill and enterprise it has
fostered among the people. 1t is fact that
a truck farmer within dozen miles of any Of
our large cities, will get clean profit of two
or three hundred dollars from an acre of land,
while the average old style farmer hardly gets
that amount of profit from his hundred acres
or more. These facts are worth studying by
the still large class who do not see the use of
ricultural papers and teaching, etc., and think
muscle is the main thing in successful farming.
The truck farmer studies his markets, knows
what is wanted, learns how to raise it, when
and where to sell it, believes in manure, buys
it, believes in knowing all about his business
takes his paper, reads and thinks, don't kick
at facts because they are printed, keeps his
eyes open, and drinks in knowledge from men
and books He keeps learning and succeeds
in his business. There is still large class Of
our farming population completely stereo-
typed. Many take no agricultural paper, at
tend no fairs, no farmers clubs, try no exper-
iments, have no faith in improved tools and
stock, and are hardly able to tell at the end
of the year whether they lose or gain in their
business. Success in cultivating the soil is al
ready, and is to be more and more, dependent
upon brains. Men who read and think most,
plan most wisely, and execute most skilfully,
will succeed best. We need all the hel p we
can get from the teachings of science, from
journals, from fairs and clubs, as we'll as from
the daily experience of the 6elds.-American

Observation-Disclosures S0DTH CAROLINA

These admirable Historical Skethes will be pub
lished in the FAMILY VISITOR. They are
written by REV. RoBERT LATHAM, who has be-
slowed upon the task much thought and extern
sve research. Tracing the rise and progress of
the State from colonial times, the Sketches will
also contain the stirring scenes and important
events, the anecdotes and notwithstanding
and authentic-connected with the early history
of the State, and which have never before been
fully published. Much of the material of the
Sketches-especialy that relative to the middle
and upper portions of the State-being tradition
al, many of the events portrayed having never
been in print, and written in Mr.. LATHAN's easy,
familiar style, they will be read with peculiar in
terest by all classes; while no more entertaining
or instructive history could be placed in the hands
of the YOUTH or those who would inform them
selves unon Colonial and Revolutionary events.

RICE.
Rice has been cultivated in South Carolina
for about two hundred years. 1t was brought
to the State from Madagascar, shortly after
the State was first settled. As an article of
food, there is no need that one word be said
about it. With large proportion Of the in
habitants of the State, rice has, from its first
introduction, formed principal article of
food, as we'll as a staple article Of export.
Notwithstanding this fact, there are multitudes
of people in the up country who never saw
stalk of rice growing. Nearly every body in
South Carolina eats rice, but only those in the
southern section of the State are engaged IN
raising it. The reason of this is the mistaken
notion with regard to the nature of rice
Among the up country people generally, the
notion prevails that rice will grow only in
swamp. A lagoon, and a rice field with them,
means nearly the same thing. This is mis-
taken notion Rice, sufficient for home con-
sumption, can be raised on any farm in the
State. 1t will grow on spots of land that are
not fit for scarcely any thing else. The rice,
when raised, is said by dear lovers of the ar
ticle, to be better than what is kept for sale in
the provision stores.
Remember, we are not advocating the pro-
duction of rice as crop from thesale ofwhich
to make money. We advise its production
for the sole purpose of saving money. If we
can raise rice, we can raise it for home con-
sumption cheaper than We can buy it. The
Yankee theory is, make and sell every thing
you can, and buy as little as possible! This
is orthodox doctrine. There is recuperation
in it. The theory of South Carolina is, sell
nothing but cotton and buy every thing else!
This is heterodox doctrine. There is decay
and death in it.

YORKVILLE ENQUIRER
VOLUME 22.--1S78.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on
the lst Of January, 1876, will enter upon the TwEN-
TY-sEcoND volume, is large, twenty eight COL
umn paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible
type and devoted to the POLITICAL SOCIAL, AG-
RICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE
SOUTH. In announcing the new volume, we are
enabled to promise increased attractions in all the
different departments Of the paper, conspicuous
among them being the SERIAL STORIES, written
expressly for the ENQUIRER.
AS nOn-partisan, independent family newspa-
per, the future editorial conduct of the ENQUIRER
can be as well Judged by the past AZ by any prom
Use which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience Of thrty-five years in the newspa-
per business-of which time at least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER-fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
the paper, is the correct mode journalism in the
present day. The true mission Of the newspaper
is place before the public facts as they may exist
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives;
and the propriety of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success of the ENQUIRER, which
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any
country newspaper in the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming TO publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be welcome visitor to the Home Cir.
cle and acceptable alike to all classes of readers.
Hence, the news department of the ENQUIRER,
whether of matters at home or abroad-political or
otherwise-wilb be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts they seem to exist, will be pre-
ptn6 frao frprn cartional or biaS.

ANEW FAMILY STORY PAPER !
THE FAMILY VISITOR.

In order to meet the requirements of large
class of readers who take no interest in much of
the reading matter with which the inside pages of
the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have
determined TO commence the publication, on the
first of January 1876, of new paper, to be called
the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides contain
ing matter prepared expressly for it, will also be
made up from the LITERARY AND MISCEL-
LANEOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE ENQUIR-
Err, thus affording purely Literary and Misce-
laneous publication, entirely devoid of local and
other matter unadapted to the tastes of the gener-
al reader. To accomplish this object, therefore,
of local character either of the affairs Of this or
adjoining counties, nor will there be any adver-
tisements of a local nature admitted in its columns.
1t is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely exclu-
ding this class of matter, to render the FAMILY
VISITOR an entertaining, instructive Home
Companion in every family throughout the land.
THE LITERARY FEATURES.
The same Serial Stories published in the EN-
QUIRER will be transferred to the columns Of
the FAMILY VISITOR and among other origi-
nal Stories will be published during the year,
