First Round

This morning was cool, clear and
pleasant. AT half past eight we
started ont to see what was going on.
We found the streets and side walks
crowded with people
Going to the Far Grounds we found
half a dozen persons already there.
Among them were our old and much
esteemed friends, Jacob A. Sell and
Green Thompson. They were at the
first fair, quarter Of century ago;
they have been there at every fair
since that time. They were in fine
spirits, and Thompson, upon shaking
hands with us, said: "Have you heard
from Maine" Thompson is DEM
ocrat.) Like a Yankee we asked:
"Have you heard from Arkansas" He
wanted to have our answer first. We
said Yves. We have heard that Maine
elected Republican Legislature, three
out of five members of Congress, and
a Governor who has always been a
Republican, but now running on the
Greenbaca ticket" So we rather had
our old friend.
We told Sell and Thompson that
seeing them present reminded us Of
what Laird said some years ago. 1t
was the morning Of the first day Of
Court. Sam Pickens and William
Paul Anderson were in town bright
and early. Laird said to them SOL
emnly: "Now if Judge Plyley were
here, we could go on with the Court. y"
We told Sell and Thompson: "Now if
we had some stock in, we could 60 on
with the fair"
As we came up street the school
house bell was ringing, and we met
hundreds Of children going to school.
They were clean, bright and happy.
They were not like Shakspeare's school
boy, "Crawling like snail, unwillingly
to school"
Jackson has a great army of child
rem, the most healthy, pretty and in
telligent children we ever saw.

THERE are great many persons in
this county who have never seen
printing done on a power press, by
steam power. On Tuesday, when we
were printing the rugular edition Of
the STANDARD, several men and wo-
men came in, and some Of them said
they had never before been in print
ing Office.
Now friends, from three to four
o'clock each day of the Fair, we will
be printing the Daily Standard. You
are invited to come and see our ma
chinery at work. Do not all come at
one time, as there is now a weight Of
over four tons in the room, and a
crowd might be too heavy for the
ioists; but when you hear the whistle,
q few COME at Q time.

Ih9 Democratic meeting at the
Court House last night, under the In
strhctions of John G. Thompson was
the sickest political affair we ever wit
messed. Park Reed and Irve DUNCAN
burned Il few barrels i'll front Of the
Court House, Long Ed. got out an
anvil and attempted to make a noise,
but like all of Long Ed s military ex-
ploits, it only resulted in few foul To-
cal explosions. Isaac the Slim, Spike
nose Bill, Frizzly John, the "Col."
and others attempted to make speech
es, but could get up no enthusiasm.
There were pictures of Hancock in
the room. The speakers generally
were men who cursed Hancock all
through the war, for killing Demo \
Gratis. But under the maxim that
''the way to make dog like you is to
whip him." these fellows now have
great love for the bull-necked Gen
eral. Taken altogether, it was the
richest meeting ever held in Jackson.

Second ROund.

We went to the Fair Ground at ten
o'clock this forenoon, and found hor-
ses and cattle coming in, and some very
fine stock. We found the President
of the Agricultural Society, John L.
Long, on hand, moving matters. Mr..
Long is pretty nearly worked down.
He was in Cincinnati week or more
buying goods. He informed us that
he bought nearly eight thousand dol
lars worth of goods, and he believes
he has the best selected stock Of goods
ever brought to Jackson. He has just
opened out, at the old Sternberger
Corner, opposite the Gibson House,
where he wants every body, with his
wife and children, to call on him. He
has secured the services of doctor"
Dyer, one of the Oldest and best sales
men in this place.
We will have more to say about Mr..
Longs new store tomorrow.

Fifty Tears Ago.
~ pA-1s MAcGLE-.

MANY matters which have been entire
" changed, as they do not belong le-
Ultimately to farming. These relate
more particularly to home manufact-
ures. and domestic concerns. | will
briefly mention some of these.
The women of the present day
ought to be thankful that their lives
have fallen in so pleasant places. Fiji
ty years ago 1 do not think there was
sewing machine or cooking stove
in the county, and do not think
there was suit of clothes, either for
men or women, that was not manu-
factured by hand, within the county.
Only think of the great clothing
stores now in the county, such as
Washam's, so largely advertised in
this paper, and then think of the time
when we had none Of these improve
ments.
It would take all the space Of two
Or three such papers as this daily, to
enumerate the work of the farmers
wife and daughters. 1t was an almost
endless task to manufacture flax into
bleached linen clothing, while cotton
and wool took great deal of work.
During the winter season the women
would often sit up and spin until
eleven or twelve o'clock, then be up
long before daylight to get breakfast.
There being no stoves, the cooking
had to be done at the great log fire.
The pots were hung over the fire with
iron hooks, and these were held up by
the potrack, or trammel. This was
generally made Of iron, so adjusted
that it could be raised or lowered as
the size of the fire might require. This
potrack was sometimes made of wood,
and was hooked over a stout pole
across the chimney. This pole was
technically called ''lubber pole"
The baking was done in an iron
oven. The lid had Aange around
the edge, and this held the live Goals
from falling off, Goals were put under
the oven, as well as upon the lid. In
this way corn pone, and dodgers were
baked, as we'll as biscuits and salt
rising loaves.
If | had time to tell Of all the work
the women had to do in the house, in
making all the clothing, doing all the
cooking, and taking care Of the child
rem, you would think that was enough;
but they did a great deal Of out door
work on the farm. They helped the
children to pick up the limbs, and
brush, and bark that had fallen from
the deadened trees during the winter.
They did nearly all the work in the
garden, helped to plant the corn, doing
the dropping and covering. When
the corn was plowed they did most of
the hoeing. They helped to pull the
fax, bind the wheat, oats and rye,
helped to pull the blades from the
corn in the fall, for fodder, helped to
pull and haul the corn, and helped to
husk it, and great many other kinds
Of out door work.
It was rarely that woman broke
fax, plowed, threshed, chopped wood,
made rails, or such heavy work; but l
have seen them do all these things,
and occasionally, when work was very
throng, reap, lay up worm fence, &c.

Wise Sayings.

SELF-ExAMINATIoN is necessary to

"IF it be possible, as much as lieth
in you, live peaceably with all men,"
LIVE by the day; you will have daily
trials, and strength according; leave to-
morrow to the Lord. .f0,..fi4r.
Mediate long, mediate humbly, on
what it is to have a Creator, and conf-
fort win come at last. If broad day-
light should never be yours on this side
the grave, He will hold your feet in the
twilight that they shall not stumble,
and at last, with all the more love, and
all the more speed as well, He will fold
you TO his bosom, who is himself the
Light Eternal n W. Fd5er.
FORGET self. Think nothing what
ever of shining. The sun does not
shine because it has n will for it; no
more does a man or woman. Even the
moon, which shines with only a bor-
rowed light, has no thought about it.
but only let's her unoriginal beams play
off their glistening into what quarter
they will. And so Il is universallv,
both in the original and the unoriginal,
the first and seeond-rate characters.
Their real merit is the unconscious
show of what they are; and there is
nothing so refreshing in this world of
affectations as the natural. unstudied
revelation, whether Of goodness or
beauty, or genius -Hordce Bushnell.
THAT love which the Bible calls
charity is not mere matter of feeling.
Il is q spirit and Q purpose of Kindness
toward others. Our surface feelings
are not wholly within our Control; but
for our inner purpose we are directly
responsible. Hence it is, that charity
or Christian love toward all-is a
plain duty. We have no right not to
love the unlovely. There is no being
right and doing right without being
loving and showing love, in all our in
tercourse with all. AS Sir Thomas
Browne puts it: "Moses broke the
tables without breaking the law, but
where charity is broke The law itself is
shattered, which cannot be whole with
out love that is the fulfllihg Of it.l' If,
indeed, we are compelled 70 admit that
we are not charitable --notloving where
il is hard to love-let us recognize the
fact that we are just MS truly guilty in
this spirit of uncharitableness as we
should be in a spirit OF envy, or hatred,
or untruthfulness, or impurity, or ir.
reYereneei and let US turn in our guilt
to crave pardon and to seek new heart
in place of the one which can harbor
such guilt as this.-S. S. Times.

Lack Of Reverence in Church.


We think our brethren in England
excel us in reverential demeanor in
Gods house. They bow while the
minister leads them in prayer and
some are seen to kneel, with no .ap-
parent CONSEQUENCES that their attitude
will be considered singular. One of
the most painful spectacles that we
know is presented by the congrega-
tion, ostensibly engaged in prayer, Sit
ting bolt upright in the pews, with
eyes wide open. The pain is not sim
ply that ooeasiOned by manners inap-
propriate TO the time, and hence bad,
but also by the fact that the congrega-
ton as a whole is certainly not engaged
in PRAYER The people may listen; they
may not listen but II is certain that in such
a posture, and with all the objects be-
fore them appealing to their open eyes,
they do not pray. Then, again, our
brethren in England always bow while
the benedictiohi q being pronounced, and
remain m the posture Of devotion for a
moment after the minister has ceased in
stead Of scranbling at once for Overcoats
and oYershoes, or rushing at once for the
doors Some of our congregations
here have adopted the custom of re-
ceiving the benediotiOn while seated,
and this favors a reverential demeanoI

THE New York World says no good

ists on one side only the sight of the eye

tooth appears will be destroyed in cases
where the wolf-tooth is left undisturbed
FURNITURE PoLIsH.-The following
recipe will restore the original polish of
furniture, especially in the case of such
lacquered ware, etc., which have be-
come tarnished by use. Make polish
by putting half an ounce of shellac, the
same quantity of gum lac, and a quarter
of an ounce of gum sandarac into a pint
of water. Put them all together in
stone bottle near the fire, shaking it
otteni as soon as the gums are dissolved
it is ready for use. Then take q roller
of wOOlen rags-soft old broadcloth will
do nicely-put a little of the polish on
it, also few drops,of linseed oil. Rub
the surface to be polished with this,
going round and round over small
space at time until it begins to be quite
smooth; then finish by second rub
bing with spirits of wine and more of the
polish. Furniture thus treated will have
a brilliant lhster equal to new. '.l. .
THE farmer who lets all the liquids of
his barnyard run to waste is q spend-
thrift, however " close-fisted ~ he may
be with money. A practical farmer said
recently: "On my farm on the Hudson
River, have built cisterns under the
barn and stable, in which this liquid is
collected. These cisterns are all con-
nected, and one being built on a lower
grade, they all empty into this one.
When it rains l put force-pump into
the cistern and fill two water-carts, such
as are used in watering our streets, and
scatter this liquid over our meadows; in
forty-eight hours aftetward a change is
perceived in the color of the grass"
Another farmer who has a similar ar
rangement in his barnyard, says he saves
100 loads every year, and thinks the
liquid worth as much as so many loads
of solid manure.

IA wonderful Sermon.

NNN ~
WE quote from Richard Henry Dana s
paper, in Scribner, on the late President
Leonard Woods, of Bowdoin's College:
'Some thirty years ago, it had been an
nounced that President Woods was to
preach in what Is now the Parish Church
of the Advent, in BOwdOin street, but
was then in the possession Of q Congre-
gational society, under the pastorate Of
the Rev. DR.. Winslow. The house was
well filled. President Woods spoke ap-
parently without even notes. He spoke
for nearly an hour aud n half, Of warm
summer afternoon, to a congregation
which had been used to set their mental
chrOnometers to twenty or thirty min
utes. Yet it was a case of " Co1ticuere
OnlneS inte3tigue ora tene u7lt, " from first
to last. There was not only attention,
but an excited glowing attention. His
subject was tThe DELAYED Justice,of
God the text being, Because sentence
against an evil work is not executed
speedily, therefore, etc. For his space
of time, and his purpose, he was the
master of every one in the house, and
DIR. Winslow, in his concluding prayer,
was so carried away that he entered
unconsciously upon eulogy on the
preacher, thanking the Almighty
for the great privilege we had
enjoyed that day. At this time,
it was rarely, if ever, that a preach
er Of the orthodox sects took exam
pies or illustrations from elsewhere
than the Scriptures; but in this dis
course, it seemed that, rs was said of
Burke, there had gone ont decree that
all the world should be taxed. He drew
his Illustrations from all history, from
all the known experience of mankind.
As l have said, it is more than twenty
five years since | heard that sermon;
but | can repeat, think yerbatiDl, many
OF its finest passages, and retain clear
memory OF its thought and order. After
some years, happening to speak with a
scholarly and thoughtful man on the
subject of sermons, he said that the best
he had ever heard was one by Presi-
dent Woods, in the old meeting-house
in BOwdoin street, on The DELAYED
Justice of God, and he proceeded to
describe it.. Again, at New York. mt a
gathering of men of letters, the subject
of best sermons was started, and one of
the number a man Of high Tepute as a
writer, said that, CHANGING to be in Bos-
ton of Sunday, some years before, he
went to hear President Woods, at Bow
doin street, and there heard a discourse,
on The Delayed Justice of God, which
had ever remained in his mind the ioeal
sermon. Thus, the only three persons
l know to have heard it give it the first
place; and l doubt il any intelligent
hearer on that day will fail, even now,
to acquiesce in this judgment" .#.
