The Fair.

As the hour approaches for the great eNhi-
bition, it forms the prominent topic of inter
est and conversation in city and country
We continue to hear from various portions OF
the State that large numbers of our country
friends intend visiting US. One gentleman
writes, half our county will be there Ano-
ther, 1--WE shall send thousand Come one,
come all Richmond will receive you with
open doors and open arms. The State Fair,
should the weather continue fine, will be the
grandest agricultural display, and the finest
exhibition OF live stock ever seen in Virginia.
The multitude itself viii be worth seeing-a
multitude composed of the farmers and plan
ters of Virginia, the finest looking, the most
intelligent, the most polished generous and el-
evsted agriculturists in the world, with their
wives and daughters, the pride of their sex
and of human nature If the Old Dominion
can be outstripped in agricultural or manu-
featuring productions. we defy any country
in the world to produce such specimens Of
men and women

A fruitful theme Of moralizing with the es-
sayists of England has been the vanity of
power and official station Invigor0us and
truthful lines they have depicted the cares and
anxieties which are attendant upon the high
est station, and the transitory and empty cha
racter of its pleasures. Uneasy sits the
head which wears a Crown and many a
courtier of the Crown has had reason to la
ment in his old age that he had not served
his God as well as he had served his King.
Power in a Republic is even more uncertain
and transient Where are the official celeb.
rites of quarter of century ago? Not one
Of them who did not possess intrinsic merit,
is uow even remembered. They have flashed
athwart the horizon for a moment with me-
teoric brightness, while the really great men
of the country, whether in Office or not, re-
main like fixed stars, shining in their 0rigl-
nal brightness, and guiding aspiring souls
in their path to true fame.
The mania for Office which prevails IN our
country would be soon remedied, could these
wholesome truths be impressed upon the
minds of oul young citizens. Theappetite for
office is acquired in childhood and fostered in
school Parents and teachers hail each pre-
cocious exhibition of cleverness with the pre-
dicsion that the youthful prodigy will at some
future period, be Governor, or President OF
the United States Is it not natural that
Young America should grow up with the
rooted conviction that official station is the
acme of human happiness Would it not be
wise to teach the young that it is better to
deserve than to obtain high Official position,
and that the insignia of power, obtained by
intrigue and unworthy arts, are like the jew
els of the courtegan, badges Of degradation
and iufa!ny

Miss Lucy Stone.

This is the name cf a young lady who is
delivering lectures in the free States on Abo-
Iition, Woman's Rights, and a variety Of
other subjects, upon which she is equally re
condite and entertaining. Miss Lucy is said
to be young, pretty, possessing sweet voice,
very fascinating manner, and considera-
bic degree of elo1uence. With these quail
ties we are not surprised that her lectures
are attended by large and admiring congre
cations. The elderly spinsters will forgive
her the charms of her person on account of
her advocacy of Woman Rights and the
men will forgive her the advocacy of "Wo-
mans Rights on account of the charms of
her person, We have observed that sundry
newspaper editors, not usually given to fa-
naticism speak in a very fervid style of
Miss Lucy Stone. 1t is needless to say that
these gentlemen are bachelors and we can
not be wrong in the sprmiSe that they wish to
take away the heart of Stone and give her a
softer heaTt-apd it must be soft heart in
deed as well as a soft head which can be com
manded by an itinerant female lecturer.

Think of this pretty young damsel rebuklng

attention, and that they go home, if not with

lecture, we venture to say, every mother 5
son of that immense congregation feels an
unwonted pressure on his heart sees the fair
form of the lecturer in the graceful smoke

health of Miss Lucy Stone.
