A SchOOlmaster's Reveric.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

When the lessons and tasks arc all ended,
And the school for tho day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around mo.
To bid me goodnight and be ldsaod
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
Ny neck in their loving embrace;
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
OF my childhood too lovely to last,
or love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickcdness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin;
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh my heart grows as weolis as wonans,
And the fountain of feeling will dow,
When | think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER them,
or the tempest of Fate blowing wild;
Oh there's nothing on earth half SO holy
As tho innocent heart Of child.
Tacy are idols Of hearts and Of households;
They are angels Of God in dagaiso
Ills sunlight still sleeps in their tresscs,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Oh, those truants from homo aud from heaven
They have made mo more manly ani mild,
And know how Jesus could lihon
Of al - n 1li11
ask not life for the dear ones,
All radiant as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
70 temper the glare of the SUM-
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself,
All, seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The tvig is so easily Bonded,
[ lave banshel the rule and the rod;
have taught them tie goonlo3s Of knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness Of God;
My heart is a dungeon of Darkness
Where I shut them for breaking a rule;
Ny frown is sufficient correction
.Ey Iowa IL the law of the school.
shall leave the old house in the Autumn,
10 traverse its Threshold no mora
All, how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door.
shall miss the 'good-nights' AMI the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent gleo,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me-
I shall miss them at morn and al evening,
Their song in the school and the street;
| shall miss the low hum Of their voices,
and the tramp of their delicate feet
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says, "Tho school is dismissed "
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed.

unless something of what was taken from
it in the way of producing qualities was re-
turned to it, it must 90 from bad to worse.
He advised Virginians to raise grass and
sheep. He regarded this State as peculiar
ly well located for this purpose. 1t might
do most profitable business in the way Of
sending early lambs to New York. In
April and May lambs were worth in New
York from fifteen to twenty-five cents per
pound.
Col. Ruffin: How much of that goes to
the middle-men?
one would go into the business largely, the
buyers would come to you, and you would
lose no commissions. Besides the profit
from selling the early lambs, the ewes can
be gotten into market early. Then there is
the profit. Wool raising is money making
business. 1t is already worth from 62 to
So cents, and getting higher every day. He
thought light wool the best. The sooner
lambs could be gotten into market the more
they would bring, and here the Virginia
grazier had a strong advantage over the
Northern and Western men, for we could
get our lambs in the market from four to
six weeks sooner.
He advised our people to diversity their
crops-to raise fruit and vegetables. The
cultivation of onions was profitable. The
soil around this city was well adapted to
their culture. But above all, he thought
Virginia should devote her attention to
grazing, and he proceeded to exemplify,
from his own experience, how profitable
the business could be made.
He mentioned, too, that Orange county,
New York, had once been grain-growing
country, but the crop failed for several
years, and the farmers devoted their atten-
ton to something else. Now they could
raise wheat and other grains very well,
but found stock-raising had more money in
it. He believed in the common breeds Of
cattle, and thought they yielded better
profit on the amount of money invested.
Major Ross, of Rockbridge, attributed
the frequent failures of wheat to the poor
seed used. And he thought when we sent
abroad for seed we had better send to the
South than to the North, for the reason
that the wheat would then probably mature
earlier and thus escape the heavy summer
rains, which produce rust so often.
Col. Ruffin: How far South would you
send for seed?
Major Ross: TO North or South Caro-
lima.
Colonel Ruffin: The worst crop of wheat
have made since the war was from seed
procured in the Roanoke district of North
Carolina.
The discussion was continued to very
late hour of the night, but we find it i'm
possible in the crowded condition of our
columns to publish more of it, though il
was very interesting.

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
THE LAST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Racing, Pigeon Shooting, and Other incidents.
ADDITIONAL LIST OF PREMIUMS.

Yesterday was the closing day oil our
Agricultural Fair, and from the inclemency
of to-day and its unusual unpleasantness,
it is well for all parties it is so.
We conclude our report of the proceed
ings and the premiums awarded, which we
were unable to obtain on yesterday.
When we consider the bad weather of
the first day, the Fair just closed has been
the most successful one ever held in Vir-
ginia. A greater number of people were
present, larger collection of fine animals,
fowls, hogs, sheep, &C., &C., than ever
before.
The friends of the Association have rea-
son to congratulate themselves on the sue
cess of their enterprise.
May our next Fair be even on a grander
scale.
THE HURDLE RACE.
The hurdle race was decidedly the feature
of the day. The liyeliest interest were man.
ifested in it, and it was witnessed by the
entire crowd present. The hurdles, four in
number, were three feet high and erected
at intervals of quarter Of mile.
