CoMPEEsA TroNss-T The amount Of toll and vexation
of spirit, necessarily attendant upon the life Of an
editor Of daily paper is seldom fully appreciated by
those who recsF 10 large portion Of their pleasures
from his lahors.
A wise Providence has provided, to some extent
compensations for nearly all the trials Of life.
Yesterday, while involved in onr usual routine of
nnnoyances, our sanctum was entered by an imp of
darkness bearing IN his hand magnificent bouquet,
composed of rare and rich flowers for which we have
most particular fancy Apropos to editorial annoy
ances, now the gas suddenly went out, leaving our
Office, from composition to counting room, in total
darkness, for five minutes. more lessl Accompany
ing the bouquet was note from q fair lady:
n. lovelief the pencil never drew;
ss Tor the fond graces form her easy mien, +
And heavens soft in her eye is seen.p
The note requested our acceptance of the floral of
ferings and conclnded thus May your path always
be stts With roses without thorns. May you live to
enjoy nany days with much happiness prosperity and
good health the sincere wish Of your friend. God
bless WI. M
We thank our fair friend for her remembrance, and
for her kind Wishes and could we have our DESIRES life
henceforth should be to her all joy and happiness
without alloy.
May angels guard thee may their wings
Fan every shadow from thy brow,
For none but pnre and loving beings r
Should wait on good as thou.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICS FAIR.-We have
received copy Of circular, signed by large mum
Der Of the most influential citizens of this city and
the parish Of Jefferson, calling the attention of the
public to meeting to take place at the Carrollton
Hotel, on Saturday evening next, the object OF
which is to give shape and force to an idea which has
agitated some of our best minds for several years
past, toWit: that Of getting up grand annual de-
velopment and exhibition Of Southern enterprise and
industry, under the title of the Louisiana Agrcul
tural and Mechanics Fair
We hail this project with pleasure, as must every
thinking man who has the welfare Of his city and
State y heart Nothing in all the wonderful progress
Of this country has aided that progress SO powerfully
as the stimulus which has been impaired to its great
leading elements the mechanic arts and agriculture
by the annual exhibitions and contests for supremacy
which have taken place in its different sections.
Agricultural and Mechanics Fairs have done much,
very much for the North and what they have done
for the North they do for the South if we will
but prove ourselves worthy Of their benefits by exer
cising that spirit of enterprise and determination
which lies latent within US, and only needs waking
up byus to keep itself alive increasing after
ward.
The meeting at CarrolIton will be addressed by
era speakers competent to the task and we hope to
be able to report q very large attendance.
