bright eyes and rosy lips, then indeed is
he giyer thrice blessed. Thus il is that
1t Fair of this description all is joy and
sladness. The visitor may retire with an
empty pocket, but his heart is OVERLOOKING
with joy, because he is conscious that his
money has been well appropriated, and he
10 replenish his purse and
come again the next evening. We have
no time, while al the Fair, to brood over
the sorrows Of the orphau-no time to
sympathize with them in their
Affections; all this We feel before
goiDg-when we place in our pock-
els the wherewithal TO assist them
to make their homes comfortable and
happy. But this once done, We don our
hat with joy, and hasten to the scene OF
fesiivity to fulfill duty We all owe, and TO
receive the blessings of matrons and maids,
and thanks from sweet lips and pure
hearts. Oh could the miser feel but a
moieiy of the happiness which the
charitable experience in doing good
could he feel the pressure of one of those
delicate soft hands. and listen TO the sweet
plesdings of pure and noble souls, We be-
lieve his heart would soften, his purse
strings slacken, and he would feel himself
a man. and not mere money bag.
Yesterday afternoon we visited the hall,
and were delighted with our visit. Very
few ladies were there, and there was an
air of quiet loveliness which could NOT
fail to create pleasurable sensation upon
the mere locker on. The ten tables ranged
along the east side and the two ends Of the
hall presented beautiful and rich appear
ance. Rebecca's well, on the west side,
seemed like cool shady grove, while
Sybils' cave looked like gorgeous Or fairy
sentry box, whose sentinel was keeping
watch over the enchanted scene. The
ladies conyersed with each other in sub
dued tones, while The birds sang sweetly,
as il inspired TO give prase TO God for bis
goodness 10 man, and to express their
thankfulness in glad notes that they, toe,
we're able to add 10 the Orphan Fund.
THE SHOOTING GALLERY.-This insti-
tuition is doing remarkably well, under the
direction Of Messrs. Martin Kerrigan and
John Ksgan. Thus far, We believe, Mr.
A. II. French and Mr.. Robt. Murphy have
excelled all others in skill. Tonight the
beautiful large silver pitcher will be shot
for.
THE PosToFFICE.-This department,
under The immediate supervision of the
Misses Massengale, with that pink OF in
dustry and politeness, Jerry Buckley, in
the delivery department, is doing thriv-
ing business, much better than Uncle
Sans p. o. Visitors should not fail to
call for a letter. Some laughable incl
dents occur in connection with this depart
ment. Last night a young gentleman
received a letter 10 which the writer de-
sired an interview in Our corner of the hall
at nine o'clock. The young gentleman
was at his post at the appointed time, but
no "lady in blue" appeared during the
half hour he patiently awaited her coming.
