OUR COUNTY FAIR.

OUR COUNTY FAIR
The County Fair, twas talked about
By men with stock and men without
Strong healthy women, Farmers wives,
And pale town bellies of useless lives
Mechanics, with stout, snewy arms
Great sunburnt boys who worked the farms
Farmers daughters, fresh aud gay
Little children at their play,
The lawyer in his tipped back chair
All talked about the County Fair.
The Farmers carried stock and grain,
Mechanics, work, both rich and plain,
The ladies, (but I've not the space to mention
All their nice things which deserved attention
Pickles, Preserves, Bread, Butter and Cheese,
t1mbroideries and bedquilts as nice as you'pease,
With much to look at, not to use,
But then you know we don't refuse
To praise and look at useless things,
Which pretty lady brings.
Mammoth Squashes Sweet Potatoes
Irish Murphys ; large Tomatoes;
Solid Cabbage tender Beets
Biting Peppers Sorghum sweets
Stoves and Kettles Blinds and Sash

A fine machine for lshing clothes
A Bed on which to find repose
Good machines to do up sewing,
Click clack click cack, they were going.
Fruit is plenty, fresh and sweet,
Giving all u wish to eat.
Without the halls, within the pens,
Were Sheep and Turkeys, Pigs and Hens

Displayed hne talents rich and rare.

1t would be difficult to find any facts in
the above statistics, or indeed in any which

its progress. sS.--AibaRy Journal

ready to crafty every appetite except that
which expected wines or spirits, and he
presided at his board with the dignity of
King Arthur at his "round table," The

The Impending Crisis of the South.

Having shown that the area of the Slave
States exceeds that of the Free States by
several hundreds Of thousands of miles
enough to make half dozen States of the
average SIZE the author of the Crisis y

Of each section. BY the census Of 1850,
the population of the Free States uclud-

He is taught labor to despise that he
is decided genius and has nothing to dc
but to fold his arms in idleneSs and live by
his wits fatal rock upon which thousands
have been wrecked. But the young genius
soon finds he has no business qualifications
and, as matter of course, gets nothing to
do. Whereupon he becomes disheartencd
and discouraged, and too frequently ends
his life in misery and shame.
While it is true that nothing great is at
tainable without labor, it is equally true
that with it we are enabled to accomplish
almost every thing Of which the history
of the world affords abundant proof.
The Latin maxim Labor, omaia ciucit'
is eminently true and whatever be your
hopes, your dreams of distinction, young
man never forget that trite sterling truth.
Labor is what really dignifes life, and woe

Difference in favor Of the Free

Difference in favor Of the Free
States, 7,0l7,I7l
In other words, more than two to one in
favor Of the Free States. If we give the
Slave States credit for their human chat
ties, their entire population amounts to s.
6l2, ,797. Leaving difference in favor of
the Free States of 3,Sl6,8O7 souls. This
was the result nine years ago with the
rapidly increasing population Of the North,
aud the slow progress of the South in that
respect, the preponderance of the North
would now probably reach 100000. In
1852, the militia of the Free StOtes amount

1886. Difference in favor of the Free

lars to transport less than one-third Of the
mail matter transported in the Slave States,
that it costs to transport three times that
amount in the Free States. This proves
that slavery is rather an expensive luxury
at all events.
