Ma. EDiToR:--Lnst tuesday was gala day
for the members Of the Columbia Farmer 3
Club. According TO previous arrang. men',
met at the Columbia school house TO spend .
few hours in social enjoyment and to discuss
the quality of vario IS and suudry hampers Of
diver, aud diversified kin's Of pie, cake,
chicken, &c, prepared by the fair anl skill>
full hands Of the wives, daughters and sweet.
hearts Of members Of The Club, and permit me
70 ,ay, that We will yield to no part Of this,
or any other county, for the comelness, skil
and intel i,ence Of our wives and daughters;
aud the xest and wholeshcartedness with
which they enter into all the soc al enjoys
msnts and amusemen,s Of rural life is truly
refreshing in this age OF social shams and SUE
perfcial sentimenta!sm.
Shortly after ten O'Clock 4. IL. an attentive
observer might have noticed that something
neighborhooi was all aslir, and from all
points Of the compass, directing their STEPS
towards common center on that lovely
springlike morning until from seventy fSe 10
oxe hundred persons old. young and middle
aged had congieea,ed together, every counte
nance radien, with health and happiness and
enlhed in friendships smiles. An hour or
more was spent in visiting and then PAYS.

tents, aud soon the ample tables groancd be-
meath load whose appearance would have
tempted an epicurean. Heaps Of faky buscui,
Of snowy Wilderness aitsrnated with clumps
Of Pc Of every imaginable material, cakes Of
every shape, size and complexion intersper..
ed with piles of butter and pyramids. OF chicks
gus whose appetite, sharpened by heath,
exercise we're eager for the fray. ample jus>
tiec was done by all 10 our bountiful r&pas,
and parties for amusements Of various kinds
we're formed. Ball playing. etc, flied up an
hour or Two, when our worthy Vice President
made his appearance with sundry mysterious
boxes, bags and cans. and soon it was Wis
pcred around among the initiated that the
cargo consisted entirely OF a huge quantity of
bi>vs!ves Of the oyster persuas sion and crack
ers, which, in a sko:t time, would call for on,
uudiv ded attention. Our worthy President
and Secretary acted in he capacity IF cooks,
the tables we're again spread, savory per-
fumc filled the house and the adjoining neig h-
borhood. I was oysters here and oysters
there, and y,iers every where. With a right
good will all parti-e set to work to wipe out
the obnoxious bi>valves and worked with
courage aud zeal rarely cquf lei and never
excelcd until victory crowned their efforts.
To quiet spectator tue sceme was not devoid
Of interest; there was with some an earnest
devotion to business. with others a careless
ease and hilari,y. Sparkling wi, and ready
r,paucc Intern gled with the music of
spoons and plates, and hearty psals Of laugh-
ter The whole was an occasion long to be
remembered ia tile annals Of the Columbia
Farmers Club Truly yours, J. ".

THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE.

How beautiful this earth, where God
His ceascless bounty shows,
The dropping Of autumnal fruits,
The fragrance Of the rose.
And all the varied harvest wealth,
That he on man bcstows.
How beautiful the snowy dock-,
That in green pastures iced
The patient, plastic herds. iItc.t
Tscir masters call to heed.
And with intelligence enduci
The noble prancing stced!
How beautiful the human face,
Through whose expressive lines,
Amid the dawn Of infnit grace
Or wEtrc bright youth redues,
Or age, in holy calmuess smilea,
Creative glory shines.
How beautiful the unfolding mind,
Where reason Oils its urn;
And knowledge stores unrusting gold,
Aud lights Of fancy burn;
And memory bids the buried past
In pictured tints return.
How beautiful the immortal soul,
Its heavenly birth that fecls,
Aud looking upward 70 it's Sire
Mith Faith, that mcekiy kncels,
Gains strength that hc,ghtens every joy,
And every sorrow heals.
How beautiful this life we lead,
That brigltens year BY year,
And bears upon its brow The hope
OFFS more perfect sphere.
