A CHANCE STILL LEFT.
BY BOB BEAMBLE.

| do believe she worshipped me,
Yet when did propose
She turned away with scornful looks,
And eieUated nose!
! asked her if she would be mine,
In one year-two, or three !
Still scornful with bitter laugh
She answer'd mo Stree"
But yet feel she loved me well,
Although the other day,
| offered her a drige-she said
81 am not on that lay -
Oh changing sex !! uncertain kind
How can we morlals tell
Which one TO trust? like modern skirts,
Our feelings can but SlceH.
| kno1O she loved me, though she went
And with another wed
A fellow with long broomslick legs,
And locks of fiery red,
No matter, let her slide; | feel
A chance is left for me,
Good fish there are, as any caught
Remaining in the sea"

FAIRFAX COUNTY, July III frequently
read With pleasure, favorable notices of our
good old county in the Gazette. Let me ask
come one competen. to tell, if the harvest Of
wheat, the growth Of oats and rye, and the
prospect OF corn, this year, do not show that
Fairfax has suffered lees than almost any
other county in the State-and whether It's
products will not compare favorably with
those of the same extent of territory in any
other quarter of the State, not executing the
Red lands and the Valley? ! am inclined
to think, although our wheat crop has been
Injured to some, and in instances, to con-
siderable extent, Fairfax ia not behindhaud,
generally. The lands here must increase in
value yearly. 1t is kindly soil, and the
coutiguity Of the best markets, will make
farming, judiciously carried on, profitable.
We want more improvement and more care
but all things are working together for
good ~.
