The following extract, which we take from the Edgefield Advertiser. eliows wliufc friend Sinipkiiiu thinks of our Diiit.'ict. It, whs our intention to have discoursed of A!>l>evii!c, licr Fair, <fcc., lust week ; but somehow or somehow-elso we did not get back to the sanctum in t ime to do so. A few remarks may not l?c amies even so lute as this. Aldicvillc is truly the Attica of South Carolina. She is not only a "good old district," as ?; i _r t. ww?, ujcuv? uu nuiu 01 ner in ins late .Aiulornon speech, hut a glorious old district. Agriculturally. she is taking tlie foremost rank; politically, she is as liigh-strnng ae need be; and socially, hIic in incouiparrble. It was our good fortune to l?e present at her recent Agricultural Fair, which was indeed a brilliant success. All award to IIoii. J. Foster Marshall, the credit of having been the moving spirit and nctivc principle of this occasion. Yet while this is so, it is also true tliut very many others entered into it with great vim. To nhow the general interest taken in the matter by the patriotic people of Abbeville, it is only necessary to state that there were nearly five hundred contributors to the Fair. Mark that, Edgrfield! and, in the nnran of common district pride, strive to rival it next year ; for, this year, you have fallen how far! below it. But the articles contributed at Abbeville were aluo in great variety aud, we might will ea_\ in prodigious profusion. They were moreover altogether admirable in style, quality and purpose. In stock, ia cereal productions, in vegetables, in fruit.*, in flower?, in household articles, in raechnnicai contrivances, and especially in female handiwork, tlif re was more to altruct and more to invite applause than we have seen at any country fair. It was in fact*a rival of our Sta^e Fairs in many respects. Hundreds of things might he instanced in support of this assertion, but wo have not tpnee; one thing we will name: a pair of bed blanket* made by a lady of the district, an complete in material, ^durability, thickness, softness, and appearance, as an}* the \vffRl*can produos,?-they wore fit for a b'ridal bed on a Christinas night. So with miMiy other artiules, the very best of their kind.?We nre pleased to saj' that Edgefield took ihree prizes in tho midst of this fine dis |>lny: one hy Mr. John Nicholson for the best trotting horse, Another by the Kuolin Factory for the beat Crockery ware, and a third by Mr. Wm. B. Dorn fortho best South Carolina raised Stallion. One fenture of the great day of the Fair was extremely pleasing: we allude to the perfect good order all over the ground*, the quiet decency of the whole four thoopaud there assembled, the uhsencu of uuy thing like intoxication or rowdiiicss, and the genial good humor and noliteneia tliut lipmnp.l fmrn nimi.tt . ? -".J face. There too was an array oflaJiex, beautiful and bright, forming (as they fille l the large touJ prepared for them) a picture of beauty seldom eurpuhSO'1. And to see how tliey enjoyed the show, horaesand a1.!; and how they patted their pretty feet in time with the Columbia Brass Band ad that sonorous corps asserted in uomistakeable strains " We'll go doten to Dixie;" and how they spread the nicest imag. inable dinners on the large gray rooks in the grove below tlie enclosure; aud how the gentlemen managed to squeeze out of the provision boskets certain bottles variou#ly labelled, oil ,.t 1?> _:.l - ? ' VI niaiuii n CI c bWUUIIClj Willi (I]Hb pftrUni IOT* bearance which the pretence of the ladies de; maudcd ; and how even the negroes (hundreds of whom were present) shouted witli glee at the animation of the entire seen*-; ami how still, here, there and everywhere, the most ! perfect good feeling tempi-red the exuberance of all concerned. Miy we live to witness such occasions more frequently! Let the good example of Abbeville be uaivorsally imitated over the State. Yea, she is socially as well as agriculturally, a model, and we bow to her excellence. Do you wish to know the reason of this oxccllencj f We th nk it in to be found in a high order of refinement among her women and of true politeness among her men. To know the Abbeville people, you must beeome acquainted with them in their private circles. When you ee what consideration, and kindness, and courtcsy, and self sacraftce,.and unaffected warmth prevail there, you will" no longer wonder at the general air of geniality whinh marks her larger assemoinges. ine people 01 ADDevillo are also cultivated to an uunsunl degree in an educational point of view. They are a rending and thinking people. They are * hightoned and a public spirited people. They work their roads, train their children to be gentleman and ladies, build good Churchea, and study the amenities of life.

In this great world of sunshine ami Mind- i ows, we haveconstantly shadows from them . in return. There is no pa hway in life j which is not sometimes in tie sliH<Je, and | there is 110 one who walks over these paths, j it matters not which way they tend, who ^ does not now and then cast a shadow with ^ the reM. How often do we, by a mere . thoughtless word or careless act, cast a shadow on soino heart which is longing for sunlight. How often does the husband by a cold greeting, cast a gloom over the happy, trusting face of his young wife, who it may he, has waited anxiously for the first sound of his footsteps to give him a joyous j welcome to bis home. How often bus Lie i | parent, by a harsh reproof, chilled i lie everflowing spring of confidence and love which is bubbling lip from tlio fountains of the heart of the innocent prattler at his knee. How often are the bright rays of hope torn from the cliuging grasp of the souls of! those worn out by poverty and tho never ending conflict of life, by the stinging lidiculc or the sordid avarice of those whom the world honors?aye, loves to honor. IIow often does the child, even it has grown to the full bloom of manhood, and is clad in garments of strength and beauty, bring sorrow to the parent already tottering on the brink of eternity. Then beware lest you cast a shadow over those which are already darkening his happiness. The shadows we cast?can we escape them ? Can wo look back as we walk on lifu's journey, and see no shadowy inurks about our footprints. Couldn't Take a Joke.?Dr. M.t tin army surgeon during the American war, was very fund of n joke, (if not perpetrated at his own expense,).and, moreover, had a great contempt for citizen officers, who were more renowned for their courage than their scholarship. One day, at mess, after the decaufer and performed sundry perambulations of the table. Capt. S. a brave and accomplished officer, unci a groat wag, return ked to the Doctor, who had been somewhat severe in his remarks on the literary deficiencies of some of the new officers; 'Dr. M., you are acquainted with Capt. G ?' 'Yes, I know him well," replied the Doctor? 'lie'sone oftlie new sel. But what of him ; Nothing in particular,' replied Capt. S; 'I have just received a letter from him, and 1 will wager you a dozen of old poit that, you cannot guess in six guesses how he spells cat.' 'Done,' said the doctor, 'Well,' commence guessing,' said S. 'K, a, double t.' 'No.' 'Kate.' 'No.' 'Catte.' 'No.,' 'Catt.' 'No.' 'K?t.' 'No, that's not the way; try again, it's your last guess.' 'Caghl.' 4N?.' said S, 'you'er wrong again; and you've lost your wager.' 'Well,' said the "doctors, with much petulance of manner, 'lidw does he spell it}' 'Whv. he snclls-it e-a t.' re? plied S., with the utmost gravity. Amid '.ho ronr of the , met*, and choking with rage, tho doctor sprang to his feet, exclaiming, '(Japt. S., I f?m too old a roun to be trifled with io this manner.' Colonel Jones anil Major Smith would occasionally get on a spree, nn?l ibeir frolics were often protracted until late iu the night. On such occasions their pleasure was frequently dumped by the thought of their wives at home, who, like T-am O* ShanterV good darae, sat nursing their wrath to keep it warm. One night, after Iia 'ing kepi up their frolic until a late hour, they returned home, when Colonel Jones found bis wife waiting for him with a countenance that foretold n storm. The colp/)|& whose face had never blanched bofor^S^etyeuiy quailed before the righteous indignation of his better-half. ' Jnsft^d of going to UN ho took a sent, and, re*tin" his elbows on his knees, with his face in his linnd?, seemed to bfl completely absorbed in grief, sighing heavily, nnd" uttering mic.1i e*oInnvUions as ?'Poor Smith !

F.Taylor, ol the Chicago Journal, when it is little except souls ; litile pigs, linle lambs, little birds, little kittens, little children. Little martin boxes of homes are generally the most happy and cosy; little villages are nearer to being atoms of a shattered l'aradisc than anything we know of; little fortunes bring ihe most content, and and Utile hopes th^.least disappointment. Little words are the sweetest to hear; little charities fly farthest, and slay longest on the wing ; little lakes aro tho stillest, utile neans tlie I ?i I lest, and Utile tarnis tlie best tilled. Little books are tlie must read and little songs th? dearest loved. Aud when nature would maku anything especially rare and beautiful, she inakfia it little ?little pearl*, little diamonds, little dews, j Agui's is a model prayer, but theu it is a ' little prayer, nnd the burden of the petition is for little.

For fifteen years I breakfasted on porridge flavored with s.dt, and never tasted a pie or pudding, unless it was made with beef, mutton, or liver.

Very many Englishmen apparently have to contend with a thick and unmanageable conformation of the organs of speech, which occasions tho spluttering and mouthing so common in | tbeir public speaking. That the Americans nave great natural lacuity tor clear and lino I articulation, is shown by the readiness with which they acquiro the pronunciation of , foreign tongues, and by the fact that, with proper early training and care, they do attain to remarkable graco of uttoranco. It | Mill remains true that very much more im| portance is attacked to articulation in- En? i gland than here, that more pains is taken 1 in training th?i young to habits ^>f clear j utterance, and that on the whole the En , glisn is more conscientiously articulated by I educated persons in . ngland than by the same class in this country. Wo-mean by | tliis to say, tliat the consonants arc more j distinctly and duly uttered,?that, for in? j stance, 'shrink' and 'shrine' would not, as i with us, be softened into srink and sritie, 'suggest' iuio subjccC 'arms7 into alms. On the other hand, there is a tendency ia this country to more distinct syllabication and more marked secondary accent in long word*.?The English say 'iutVsting,' 'circ'mht'nce,' 'diction'ry,' tripping lightly over all the syllables after the accent, articulating plainly all the consonants, but almost eliminating the vowels; while we put a | secondary accent on the penultimate syllable of long words, and give to the others as much stress a* to unaccented syllables in short words. It is this peculiarity which hrinrr^ linrm A innrinmie tl?n r?hawri? nfrlrjiwl. j -r-.. ~ w ing, and which occasions the remark of foreigners that they can understand an American more easily than an Englishman.'
