Pro Bono PublicO-Our County Fair.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS the time for holding
the County Fair is near approaching, it
may not be amiss, (though not needed) to
recount some of the interesting items of
great importance to the continued success
of these annual gatherings. AS an out
slider, allow me to suggest that most of the
satisfaction or dissatisfaction arises from
incompetent committees. The writer has
heard more fault found in this direction
than in all others put together. 1t is well
known that the county fair is not political
nor religious institution, and ought not to
belong TO any ring. Hence the public in
general should be called upon to assist in
its achievements. Hence | am satisfied
that no one sect in religion, philosophy or
politics will have control of its affairs
But what qualification it requires to
make II proper and wise choice of the sey-
eral committees to act as judges in the va
rious departments of the fair How natur-
al and common-sense-like to appoint well
qualified committees And this has been
the weakest part of the fair, and the source
of the most censure. | trust this NAV be
avoided this year. 1t requires the best
talent and most prudent selection IN the
choosing of these committees. Grand
mothers and grandfathers are not well
qualified to judge of the many things in
manufactures and fine arts that have been
invented since their days of activity
Young misses just in or out OF their teens
an not fit generally to Judge OF domestic
affairs, or to judge in the department of
fine arts. 1t requires service for competen-
cy. Horsemen are only fit to judge horses,
stock-raisers of stock, whether cattle,
hogs, or sheep. SO of poultry, machinery,
sc. An individual unqualified should not
accept, even if those in authority are weak
enough to appoint him. An elephant
brooding chickens never can make sue

THE AVERAGE Cost OF RAISING GRAIN.
Secretary Edge, of the State Board fAg.
riculture, has been trying to ascertain the
average cost of raising farm products in
Pennsylvania. He sent out 200 circulars to
practical farmers, and from the answers re-
ceived he concludes that the actual cost of
producing bushel of wheat is ST. cents.
of bushel ofrye G3,3 cents, of a bushel of
oats 1873 cents, of bushel of corn 44.G
cents and OF u bushel ofpotatoes 24.S cents.
These figures include the items of interest
on land, taxes, manure, seed, labor, &c.,
and leave nothing unaccounted for. Ifthe
calculations OF Mr.. Edge are correct there

Twilight FaneipS,

Twilight Faneies.
Like a spirit swept the twilight,
AS the day began TO fade,
Till the carthland caught the shadows
Which her outsprcad pinions made;
Where she leaned her sweet face over,
BY the winds of evening kissed,
Sunsets crimson bushes faded
Softly into amethyst.
Thro' the mist-likc purple beauty,
Drcamily watched the play
OF her lovely, subtle changes,
AS they filled the dying day;
Silently it seemed rcposing
On her gentle, tender breast;
While its brief life faded slowly,
From the lovclytintcd West.
Softly fell the hush of evening
Like a blessing DER the town,
While the holy peace Of Heaven
Seemed TO gently waycr down;
] could see the golden radiance
CAS- in some fair, lovely drcam,)
Of the Heavenly city's spires,
Thro' the twilight shadows CLEAN.
And | saw life's surging river,
Aud DEATHS dark and turbid tide,
Till its pillows caught the splGndor
Streaming from the other side;
Saw the print of golden footsteps
All along the snowy shore;
Where the white-robcd angels gather,
Welcoming weary pilgrims o'cr.
Spirit forms of loved departed,
Angel features We have kept
Ever fresh in memories tender,
Whom we long in sorrow wcpt;
Oh ! it seems this lovely hour,
Brings us nearer to our own,
Waiting for us, in that city,
Where like birdlings they are flown,
Now the mist of twilight decpens,
And the fanccs fade afar,
Till the Heavenly city glimmers,
Like distant shroudcd star;
Dark and darker grow the shadows,
Night is dawning on apace,
While fair twilight gently gathers
Wells of purple DER her face.
Royal night, with grace majestic,
Trails her sable garments by,
Throws afar her starry garments,
O'er the arching evening sky;
Watches in her tranquil beauty,
With the moonlight on her breast,
Der our town--and tender twilight
Sinking in its shades to rest.
