call attention to the announcement made by the
La lies IN our columns this week, that n Grand
Promenade Concert will be given on next We'd

the shedding of Southern blood and the ruin of

such memorials to our gallant dead, we have TO
depend upon the promptings of every Southern
heart TO contribute from his or her poverty small

The County Fair,


MIR. EDITOR The .bill Of fare" presentoJ
| by the Executive Committee under the ausp;ccs
OF the Pomona Grange is sufficiently tempting,
IL would SEEM to draw out everybody in the
town and country who feels a spark of interest
In developing the resources of the County,
But for fear that some peoI le may not be alive
to the Importance Of feeling an interest, we beg
leave to offer few suggestions:
Many people will be deferred from bringing
an animal, field product, garden vegetable, n
jelly or jam, pot of butter or jar of lard, or
an article of needle work, patchwork or embroid-
cry, from belief or feeling that somebody will
have something nicer on exhibition
Now, this is not the proper spirit, and no
County will ever get up q decent exhibition
where the people are influenced by such notions
We have had good deal to do with Fairs and
have often heard visitors exclaim, "if we had
known what we know now we could have beat
good many things here on exhibition" We
remember once an old gentleman took us out TO
show MS his herd of cattle. They were fat and
good looking "Do you think that they will
take Premium" he asked. We replied, don't
know; but there's nothing like trying He
sent them and came home with his pocket fi,ll
Of Premiums

would never know but he had the best of every
thing. But if he goes out and finds that other
people have better things, his judgment is i'm.
proved, his eyes opened to conviction and he
seis TO work to improve his condition. Then
the interest Of Fair much depends upon the
varicty-cvery little thing helps and everybody
who has anything on exhibition naturally feels
more interest in the exhibition than if he had
nothing. The resources of Country are main
ly brought to notice by means Of those Rural
Exhibitions, and in the Western, North. western
ami middle States, all the great Agricultural
States, immense crowds turn out at their County
Fairs, everything that is rare. useful or interest

We entreat every one to turn out-not for the |
paltry premium, but the peoples good.

6D" The Greenville Agricultural Fair last
week was great success. We regret that we
could not attend. Gov. Chamberlain made an
excellent speech, in which he insinuated that he
was Granger-in principle. We hope he was
initiated before he left the Mountain City but
fear the outside political pressure was too great.
We are pleased to hear of his mingling among
the people. In that way only vii. se be able to

For you and me who love the light
OF Gods uncloistered day,
II were indeed a dreary lot
To shut ourselves away
From every glad and sunny thing, SO
And pleasant sight and sound,
And pass from out silent cell
Into the silent ground
Not so the good monk, Anselm, thought,
For in his cloister's shade.
The cheerful faith that lit his heart
Its own sweet sunshine made;
And in its glow he prayed and wrote;
From matin song till even,
And trusted in the Book of Life
To read his name in Heaven.
What Holy Books his gentle art
Filled full of sanity lore.
What pages frightened by his hand
The splen lid missals bore!
what blossoms, almost fragrant, twined
Around each blessed name!
And how his Saviour's cross and crown
Shone out from cloud and hame
But unto clerk and unto clown,
one summons comes alway,
And Brother Ansclm heard the call
AT vesper chime, one day.
Ills busy pen was in his hand.
His parchment by his side
lie bent him Ger the halfwrt prayer,
Kissed Jesus name and died!
They laid him where q windows blaze
Flashed o'cr the craven stone,
And seemed to touch his simple name,
With pencil like his own;
And there he slept, and one by one,
His brothers died the wb;Io
And trooping years went by, and trod
His name from off the aisle.
"And lifting up the pavement then,
An Abbots couch to spread,
They let the jeweed sunlight in
Where once lay Anselm's head.
No crumbing bone was there, no trace
or human dust that told
But, all alone, warm right hand
Lay fresh upon the mould
1t was not stiff, as dead men s are,
But, with n tender clasp,
1t seemed to hold an unseen hand
Within its living grasp;
And ere the trembling monks could turn
To hide their dazzled eyes,
1t rose, rs with n sound of wings.
Right up into the skies
OH loving. open hands, that give
Soft hands the tears that dry;
Oh, patient hands, that toll to bless,
How can We ever die?
