Two Mornings.

In armor strong che fearless knipht

And from her window in tho ,owor
The lady watched all day.
There stood that morning by tho cato
a little page, to sec,
And wished to be, in years to come.
AS grand knight as no.
Al! day the idle echoes brought,
Like noises in q dream.
The roar of fighting from afar,
The dashing of stream;
Aud when tho stars came, one BY one,
Inc lady could not sleep,
She feared the shadows in tho room.
She heard tho waters leap.
The daylight fingered ere it camo,
=, Aud hardly with surprise
She heard the tale tho servants BROUGHT
with terror in their eyes;
How at the close barred castle cato
-. at daybrcaK they Ind found
Inc knights horse which camo droopinp in
Weak with mortal wound. =
Oh, all forlorn and ridorlcss,
Stained with his masters blood,
with human sorrow in his look,
TIC hurt and trembling stood.
The Iady did not speak, Sho oamo
Beside tho horse to stand;
l.
ono Kissed tho bride where tho knight
Had hold it in his hand;
And all that day sho longcd and feared
10 hear the soldiers trend,
When they oamo marching up the ellen
10 bring tho knight home dead.
Sho wished the women would not vail:
She hoped that she might die;
oho longed to be tho littlo page,
Who hid himself to cry.

Columbia Correspondence.
CoLuMnIA, S. c., December G. las

~ ~, DeCcmUer u, 1881.
Editors Of the Keouce Courier:
MY associate, MINOR Dendy, gavo YOUR
readers an account Of the proceedings of
the General Assembly up to the past week.
Ih's week the Assembly has been going on
earnestly with the determination to oct
through by the 2yd instont Tic general
ippresslu,i mnue by tho mcmbefs 6pf"HfH titHs
Legislature is. that it is more conservative
and business like than any gathered here
since the odvcnt Of the Democratic party to
power in 1876. The disposition of the
members is to do that work which is only
absolutely necessary, The overlooking the
calendars with bills of incorporation has
been discontinued by striking out the en-
acting cluuso of tho bills, aud forcing par
ties to incorporate their companies under
the generul statutes, by applying to the
Clerks Of tho Courts. BY this means
much burdensomo work is gotten rid of.
A bill to repeal the lien law was voted
down in the House by 20 to TO- The ar
gumcnt was that the homestead and ncces-
sities Of the people demand the continu,.
anco of the law. The homestead takes
away tho credit of certain class of our
people, and the lien law must supply it..
The condition, too, OF tho people of the
lower counties is very different from that in
the upper counties. They deal in cotton
and rice almost exclusively. Upon these
crops os basis the merchants and the
factors in the cities "run" the planters and
tenants. They ore almost universally be-
hind One crop is consumed before
another is made, and hence they argue that
they must have the lien law to gain credit
in this dcpiorable condition.
A bill providing for commission to codify
the statute law of the State has passed
three readings in the House. Tho bill
provides that the Associate Justices and
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
shall appoint three persons, learned in the
law, to do this great and important work
They orc charged with the labor of sys.
tcmatziug the law, making such changes as
are necessary, and reporting, if practicable
to the next General Assembly, at its session
in 1881. This work is vcry important ONT
1t is difficult to find lawyer, however
learned, who understands the statute law
so great is its confusion. The citizen wht
does not make law q profession, when HI
attempts TO look up tho law, on any sub
ject, iu our statutes, becomes bcwilderct
and confused and gives up his labors as
fruitleas ono. The law should bo so simpl
that every ono who reads may know it
This commission is appointed to simplif:
and abridgo the compass Of the law, g.
that all may know it who will. The com
missioners will bo paid salary of tw
thousand dollars each for their work.
A bill has also been introduced into til
+ House, which has not yet been acted upon
! to suggest changes and amendments to ou
constitution. This bill proposes to amon
the constitution by such provisions as th
Legislature may suggest, without th
risks and expense Of a convention. / d
