A good story is told by a Yankee editor, in illustrations of the folly of judging from appearances'. A person dressed in a suit of homespun clothes, stopped into a house in Boston, on some business, where several ladies were assem bled in s inner room. One of the com pany remarked in S low tone, that a countryman was in waiting and agreed to hsve some fun. r The following dia logue ensued :. .Mff "You're from the country, I sup pose?" "Yes, I'm from the eountry." "Well, air, what do you think of tbe city r ? "ICa got a tarns! sight of houses iu it-P ^ t "I expeot thero sre*** great many ladies where yon come from." "Oh, yes, a woundy sight! just for sll the world like them," pointing to the Isdies. "And you are quite s beau among thorn no doubt. "Yes. I bonus 'em to moctin' and about." "Maybe the gentleman will take a laus uf wine," said ono of the compa ny." "I thankee : don't care if I do." "Mat you must drink a toast." "I cats toast what Aunty Debby make*" but as to drink in,' I never seod the like." What was the surprise of the com pany to hear the stranger speak as fol lows : ' "Laflies and gentlemen', permit me to wish you health1 aud happiness with every blessing the earth can afford, aud I advise you to bear in mind that we are olten deceived by appearances. You mistook me by my dross for a coun try booly : I from tho same cause, thought th ?so men were gentlemen. The deception is ui?tnal. . I wish you good evening.' Spice. A zealous divine in this city uofor innately encountered last Sunday a de tnchmcut of Harris' Brigade 'pickit' guards, busily a vrork on the streets and sternly accosted tho bullet headed rep rosontative of the green isle nearest him : ?What are you doing this for 7" ?Three dollars a day, sur,' promptly responded Pat.' . ? . 'You might be better employed oo?a day like thia.' ? 'Thruo for you, nur, an. I'd be glad of a job that u'd nay betther.'

He tuck mo a lick wid a shovol, and, there wer as fine a fight aa.yc'd see this side of Co* naught in five minutes.' 'But,' persisted the good man, 'do you nut feel an inward spirit?' 'Spirit? Jn me inwards? Divil a i dmp ihc day, pud the aiouih of me as dhry as a lime kiln ' . . 'Ah ! no, my friend, 'ti*. that spirt which destroys.' ... ?Sliur I know it?it dodroys third, and ifycr afther lif^pin us the price of a trouble, u' glasses,' said Pat, with a sly twinkle, 'to drink yer 'unuer'a health, why?'

The good man didn't ezaotly sec it in this light; but tho boss of tho gan^, observing Pat's pick was idle, sent some sulphrous expletives iu that direction, which put it in such lively motion that his questioner <vna compelled,to, withdraw oiit-ide them and the circle of splashes and ice splinters that immediately sur rounded the scene ol operations;?Hos ten Com. nnfletm.

KS OF THE PICTUttE?A GREAT OATH Kill NU ? MASONIC CEREMONIES?THE FAIR GROUNDS AND TUE HUILDINO?AD rut KSS OF GRAND MASTER I/KAU AND ORATION OF JUDGE GLOVER?A PLEASANT AND MEMoRAHLE OCCA SION. [Prom the Charleston News & Courier.] Last'Saturday had been appointed for TUE LAYING OF TnE CORNER STONE OF THE FAIR OUILDINO which is be:ng erected by the Agricultur al and Mechanical Association of Or angeburg County, and, by seven o'clock people in buggies, wagons and carriages, and on horseback, mulebsok and on foot commenced to pour into the villago. The Masons wcro to conduet the cere monies, aud, at ten o'clock they assem bled io tremendous force, several bun drcd strong, at Masonio Hall, over the store of Vofce A Izlar, on Russell street. There a procession was formed consisting of the 'Jasens, the various Oranges and the officers of tho Agrioultursl aud Mechanical Association. The Masons earned their bauners, three of which bore respectively the inscriptions 'Faith,' "Hope" and "Charity" and three others re-pectively the Ionic, Dario and Corin. thian columns, symbolic of strength, wisdom and beauty. The procession marched through Russell, Market and Awiella streets to tho Fair Grounds, At the gajle of the Fair Ground, they passed under a largo area hikdsoraeiy decorated with eyorgreou* and flowers , and thence marched to the platform which had \ c a oreo:oden the foun latioos of tho building for the a-o unmoditioa of the speakers, musicians nnd officiating Masons. The platform having been ooou pied by thuse to whom it was assigned, the remuiuding of the procession form.'l in double rank in frout and around it. To the right of the platform, was a large pine brush shelter crowde 1 with TUE UEAU1Y OF ORANOEBURO County, while back of the Masons and Granges was a semicircle of vehicles of all kinds, filled with ladies who could n*t find a place in the arbor. Samuel Dib ble, Ksq, acted as mirshil of tho diy, and to his admirably systematic manage Tueut and indefatigable exertions are to be attributed the oxoollcut order an 1 quiet with which the wh >le proceeding* wero cemdueted. liefere reaching the ground* tha pr?oessioo was interrupted for a moment by a pleasing bnt unexpected inoident A daughter, of Mayor Briggnitun advanced to Dr. Barton, the worthy president of the Agricultural and Me chonieal Association, and encircled his neck with a beautiful wreath as a token of the esteem in which ho w;n held by the fair daughters of Orangcburg. THE FAIR GROUNDS contain thirty four acres of rolling ground, situated on Amelia street not very far from the railroad. They are capable of bring highly embellished, and will uo doubt, in a few years present a very handsome appoaranoe. It has already beea determined to loeate a race truck or halt a mile around them, and although it will require some grading tho society have no doubt of scouring a firstrate trade. They also propose to allow oaeh stockholder to p'ant a tree either along the track or iu I rout of the building an I to give it hi." name. In this way all will tako an individual pride and pleasure in ornamenting the grounds TUE HUILDING itself is to be oighty feet long by fortv five feet wide and two stories high. The front will show three doors and four windows in the lower story, aud seven, windows in the upper story. The low er story will be divided into a Urge hall and a small committee room and small ladies, rooms, while tho upper will be all one large hall. The root will be what is known as a truss roof, so that there will be no eolumns to take up ro uns in the halle and mar the effect produced by their largesixe. When not in use by, the Association, the lower story will pro bably be rented out as a school room, and the upper story as a public hall for for amusements of various kinds. The audience being now all attention It W James F Iilar, district deputy grand master addressed them as follows: ADDRESS OP on AND MASTER IZLAR. We are assembled here to day for the purpose of laying the corner stone of Hew Fair Building of the Orangeburg Agri cultural and Mechanical Association, according to ancient masonic usage; aad we extend to all those who hare coma up to cheer and assist in this noblo ento priso a most cordial and .hearty greeting. To those unacquainted with the object of our institution, these ceta monies may appear vain, idle and na meaning. But to US who have passed the Square, and have seen the liefet, they are full of beauty, fraught with in tcrest, and teach great and important truths. As the rude and unpolished stone, just taken from the quarry, b symbolical of our rude and impurfsSt, state by nature, so this polished stoua made ready by tho hands of the skilful workman to be adjusted in the building, is typical of that perfection to wbiefc wo may at b\*t arrive by a good aud virtat ous life?"our own endeavors sod tba blessings of God." It reprl niSsH SjSj heart and mind ef man, divested af the vices and superfluities of life," tm% fitted as a lively and living stone Sst that spiritual building, "That botest lift made with hands, eternal in tho heavens." It represents the soul of aaan ripcaitfkf htaven and glory; for it can only be new tried by the Square ef God's Holy Word, and pronounced perfect. Tisia stone is a perfect cube, whitu. is sym bolieal of truth. It is square, which is an emblem of morality, or the str'urt per formanee of every duty. Its durability, iu coutrast with' the decay and rain of the wooden edifice to be erected Upon tt? reminds the Mason that whoa this earth ly house of his tabercmcle^ shall hav* passed away, ha l^withioettps* a^Wo ? ' aeV stove of immortality-?an ^utanatioa from that Diviee Spirit ^hioh pervade* ull nature, and whioh, therefore, fstasjfc survive the tomb, and visa triaaajtadtifi aud eternal above the decaying dust of death aud the grave. Thus, by the car nor stone, the good Mason is taught signifieacu and usefv.l lessons. Lessons of duty, virtue and religious truth are portrayed to the contemplative mind, and he it led "from nature *p to aaaure's ? io?"?from the vanity and deformity of the things of caith to the glories and beauties of Heavee. The stone af tha temporal building is tried by the Square, Level and Pluoib, and prououaoedso ba "well formed, true and trusty." So tho Mason in this life must be tried by temptation, suffering and adversity be fore he becomes s polished stoua, fit for tho Temple above. He must be seated by tho Square of Faith, the Level af Hope, and the Plumb lino of oharity? before he ean be pronounced by tfco , Master Buildor of aonls to be material fit for the spiritual building of Eternal Life. ? Bat if he comes forth frost the trials, temptations and sufferings like pure gold from the renner's fire, thea verify shall he be deemed "Well formed, true and trusty," aud worthy to offer '?Tuto the Lord an offering in righteous nos*." Tho corn, wine and oil are types and symbols of all those abundant gifts of Divine Providence bestowed 00 as daily, and are spoken of by King David in his catalogue of blessings, "As wioe that maketh glad the heart of nan, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that streogtbeneth man's heart." "?Wherefore, my brethern, do you carry coro, wine and oil in your processions, but to remind you that in tho pilgrim age of human life you are to impart a portion of your bread to feed the hungry, to send a cap of your wine to oheer the sorrowful, and to pour the healingmil af convolution into the wounds whioh state neas hath mads in yonr bodies, er aMa tloo rent in the hearts of yoOT ftlasj travoller?." Such era some of whs ose ful lessons and important truths these oeremonies are intended to t tacfc. Lot as atady, thea, these truth t, yassies these virtues, aad so lira at t? fit ear selves as lively aad living statist far the spiritual hat idiag of eternal life, aaaia ? I sxtond to you all a. warn aad ksavtftdt welooroe TOR CEREMONIES.
