THE HOME CONCERT.
HY MARY l>. URINE.
Well, Torn, my boy, I must say good-bye.
I've had a wonderful visit here ;
Knjoyed it, too, im well as I could
Away from all that uiy heart holds dear.
Maybe l'vo been a trifle rough?
A little awkward, your wife would say?
And very likely I've missed the hint
Of your city polish day by day.
Hut somehow, Tom, though the same old roof
Sheltered us both when we wore boys.
And (he same dear mother-love watched us both,
Sharing our childish griefs and joys,
Vet you arc almost a stranger now ;
Your ways and mine arc as far apart
As though we had never thrown an arm
About each other with loving heart.
Your city homo is u palace, Tom ;
Your wifo and children arc fair to see;
You couldn't breathe in tlie little cot,
^ The little home, that belongs to me.
B Aud 1 mu I st in your grand large house,
W And dazed with the wealth on every side,
And 1 hardly know my brother, Tom,
In the midst of so much stately pride.
Yos, the couccrt was grand last night,
The singing splendid ; but, do you know,
My heart .kept longing, the evening through,
For another concert, so sweet and low
That muvhe it woutdii t please the car
Of one so cultured and grand as you ;
lint to its iniiic?laugh if you will?
My heurt and thoughts must ever he true.
I shut my eyes it: the hall last night
(For the clash of the music wearied me),
And close to my heart this vision came?
The same sweet picture I always see :
In the vine-clad porch of a collage home,
Half in shadow and half in sun,
A mother chanting her lullaby,
Hocking to rest her little one.
And soft nud sweet as the music fell
From the mother's lips, I heard the coo
Of my baby girl, as with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with "tioo-a-goo."
Together they sang, the luother and babe,
.My wife and child, by the cottage door,
Ah ! that is the concert, brother Tom,
My cars arc aching to hear once more.
So now good-bye. And I wish you well,
And many a year of wealth and gain.
You were burn to be rich and gny ;
/ uiii t'liuiuni iu ??c [m;ui **.iv* pi??ui.
Ami I go back to my country home
With :i love lliut absence lias strong! Iicnet
too?
Hack to the concert all my own ?
Mother's singing ami baby's coo.

When Ihinicl Webster was otieo asked
''What is the must important thought that
ever entered your mind ?" after a moment':
reflection, he seriously replied, "The tnosi
important thought 1 ever had was that ol
my personal responsibility to (?oi."

pa?ses through the grounds, thereby facilitating
the loading and unloading of machinery without
any expense of drayage.
To the citizens of Spartanburg, York, Chester,
[.aureus and Newberry, we extend a special invitation
to our Fair?both as visitors and exhibitors.
As they are our neighbors, wc make no
distinction between tiicirs ami the products of
our own County.
Tho excuse that heretofore many of our citizens
have made to "taking a hand" in anything
I looking to a general public improvement, has
j beeu the situation of the country ; the bail govI
eminent ; burdensome taxes placed upon us by
thieving otlicials ; didn't know how long they
could stay in such a country ; hadn't the spirit
to go into anything of the kind ; didn't believe
it would pay no how ; where is the money in it?
j Well, we have now, a Governor of our own
choice : local otlicials from our own people, aud
an honest government, almost as if by magic ;
now where is your first class croaker? Whilst
most of our citizens are confining themselves at
' home, making every effort to recuperate our
worn lands, add some littlo attractions to their
homes and do something towards reconstructing
our social interest, would it be out of lime or
place to aid in building up this Association for
our mutual benefit? Other classes of men have
their cotton exchanges, boards of trade, trudss
] union* ; all tor tlioir own exclusive use ami tienj
Hit ; a?ul arc you so suit* that you are the class
I designated as hewers of wood ami drawers of
| water, that you fear to join in with an AssociuI
tion which will advance you in the three depart
' inents of life?intellectual, social and business?
| Is it against your interest to meet here once a
year, compare notes and rub intellects together?
t>ut of so many, some new and useful idea may
spring.
You have now, no school from which to learn
hut that of experience. Is there anything unj
pleasant in meeting your old neighbors or friends
' who, perhaps, otherwise you might not meet for
; years? liecau.se you live in the country is that
| any reason why you should not all come together
1 for a few days, or is it only for towns and cities
to have "societies"? So let us conic, one and
j all. and have an old "bcforc-thc-war-like" hand.
I slicking ami.social meeting of all our people.?
Let us see if there is not snine'good in the.".'o4d
I land yet." Let us see if we cannot yet. show
j 1(H) bushels of corn, '2 bales of cotton, .'>0 bushels
of wheat, and ? "> bushels of oats to tliie acre,
' with a plenty of peas, potatoes, turnips, pindcrs,
I clover ami grasses; an exhibition of stock not to
; be excelled in the State, and last, but by no
j means least, a Ladies' Department, such as
I'nion ladies can mako such an exhibition.
In conclusion, allow us to say it is by no moans
} lost time to attend the County Fair. In fact,
' 1 wo t liink you ought to make il a special business,
. I ami when there, remember it will pay to study
1 and carefully examine all machines and implc
u"iiis. products and stock, so as not to be imi

children, shhul1 have something toexliibit there,
and should^compare ami judge for themselves,
all other exhibits. It no prize is gained, there
should bo no dissapointuient, vexation, jealousy,
or heartburnings; but a determination to
immrove upon the effort next year, and, if possibVh,
th'enL) succeed; each and every one doing
