A good story is told by a Van ken editor, in illustrations of the folly of judging from oppearartecs. A person dressed in a ?uit of homespun clothes, stopped into a house in Huston, on some business, where several ladies were ns>em bled in a inner room. One of the com pany remarked in a low tone, that n countryman was in waiting and agreed to have some fun.-The following dia logue ensued: ???7 "You're from the country, 1 sup pose r "Yes, I'm from the country." "Well, sir, what do you think of the city r "It's got a tarnal eight of houses iu it." "I expect there are--* great many ladies where yon come from." "Oh, yes, a woundy sight! just for all tho world like them," pointing to the ladies. "And you are quite a beau among the in, no doubt. "Yes. I besus 'em to moctin' and about." "Maybe the gentleman will take a glass of wine," said one of the compa ny." "I thankee: don't care if T do." ".Bttt jou must drink a toast." "I cots toast what Aunty Dcbby makes" hut as to driukin,' I uover seed the like." What was the surprise of the com pany to hear the stranger speak as fol lows : "Laities and gentlemen, permit me to wish you health' and happiness with every blessing the earth can afford, and 1 advise you to bear iu mind that wc "are often deceived by appearances. You mistook me by my dress for a coun try booby : 1 from the same cause, thought th?so men wore gentlemen. The deception is mutual. . I wish you good evening.' Spice. A zealous divine in this city unfor Innately encountered last Sunday a de taehmcut of Harris' lirignde 'pickit* guards, busily a work on the streets and sternly accosted the bullet headed rep rcsontativu of the green isle nearest him : ?What arc you doing this for ?" ?Three dollars a day, sur,' promptly responded Pat.' ?i 'You might be better employed on*a day like this.' ?

News & Courier.] La>t- Saturday had been appointed lor THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE OF THE FAIR BUILDING which isbe:ng erected by the Agricultur al and Mechanical Association of Or angeburg County, and, by seven o'clock people in buggies, wagonsand carriages, and on horseback, inuleback and on foot commenced to pour into the village The .Masons were to conduct tho cere monies, and, at tcu o'clock they nsseui bled in tremendous force, several bun dred strong, at Masonic Hall, over the store of Vose ?k Izlar, on Ilms-?!! street. There a procession was formed consisting ef th? Masons, the various Granges and the officers of tho Agricultural and Mechanical Association. The Masons carried their banners, three of which bore respectively the inscriptions 'Faith,' '?Hope" aad "Charity" and three others rc-pectively the Ionic, Dario and Corin thian columns, symbolic of strength, wisdom and beauty. The procession marched through llusscll, Market and Amelia streets to tho Fair Grounds. At the gate of ?ho* Fair Ground, they passed ander a large arch h in4somo!y decorated with evergreens and flowers , and thence marched to the platform which had I c a ereeled on the ioun lations of thu building for the a *c unmodition of the speakers, musicians nnd officiating Masons. The platform having been oocu pied by those to whom it was assigned, the remaiuding of the procession form.'l in double rank in front and around it. To the right of thu platform, was a large pine brush shelter crowdc 1 with TilE DKAU1Y OF ORANOEBIRO fount v. whilo back of the Masons and Granges was a semicircle of vehicles of all kinds, filled with ladies whi could nit find a place in the arbor. Samuel Dib ble, Ksq, acted as mirshil of tho diy, and to his admirably systematic manage ment and indefatigable exertion* are to he attrihuted the oxc dient orJer and i|uiet with which the wh >le proceedings were vomducted. lJef.ru Touching the ground* the pnoovsion wus interrupted for a moment by a pleasing hut unexpected inoident A daughter, of Mayor Briggniiun advanced to Dr. Barton, tho worthy president of the Agricultural and Mo ehanieal Association, and encircled his neck with a beautiful wreath as a token of the esteem in which ho wa* held by the fair daughters of Orangeburg. THE FAIR OROUNDS contain thirty four acres of rolling ground, situatod on Amelia street uot very far from tho railroad. They are capable of bung highly embellished, nnd will no doubt, iu a few years prosont a very handsome appearance. It has already heei dctcrmiuud to ioonte a race track or halt a mile around them, and although it will require some grading the society have no doubt of sccuriug a firstra'c trade. They also propose to allow ouch stockholder to pan a tree either along thu track or in front of tho building uud to give it his uuwio. In this way all will take an individual pride and pleasure in ornamonting the groandg THE BUILDING itself is to he oighty foet long by fortv five feet wide and two stories high. Tho front will show three doors and four windows in the lower story, aud sevon windows in the upper story. Tho low er story will be divided into a large hall and a small committee room and small ladies, rooms, whilo the upper will be all one large hall. The root will be what is k nown as a truss roof, so that thore will be nooolumns to take up ro.uns in the halls and msr the et. et produced by their large si/o When not in use by the Association, the lower story will pro 1 bably bo rented out as a sohool room, aod the upper story as a public hall for for amusements of various kinds. The audience being now all atlention It \V James F Izlar, district deputy grand master addressed them as follows: ADDRESS OF GRAND MA8TJSU IZLAR. We uro assembled here to day for the purpose of laying the oorner stone of the Fair Building of the Orangeburg Agri cultural and Mechanical Association, according to ancient masonic usage ; and we extend to all those who hare come up 10 cheer and assist in this noblo enterprise a roost cordial and .hearty greeting. To those unacquainted with the object of our institution, those com iconics may appear vain, idlo and un meaning. Hut to us who have pr?sod the Square, and have seen the liglrt, 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, is symbolical of our rude and imperfect state by nature, 30 this polished stone made ready by the hands of the skilful workman to be adjusted in the building, is typical of that perfection to whioh w? may at last arrive by a good and virtu ous life?"our own endeavors and the blessings of God." It represents the heart aud mind of man, divested of "all the vices and superfluities of life," and fitted as a lively and living etone lor that spiritual building, "That bouse not made w ith hands, eternal in the heavens." It represents the soul of man ripened for tnaven and glory; for it can only be now tried by the Square of God's Holy Word, and pronounced perfect. This stone is a perfect cube, which is sym bolical of truth. Tt is square, which in an emblem of morality, or the strict per formance of every doty. Its durability, in contrast with* the decaf and raw of the wooden edifice to-be erected upon it, reminds the Mason that when this sank ly huuse of his tabernac!^ shall til** passed away, - he to <f with iciest a?Wre ^ fomtdatmn stenw^fer 'eternal ner stone of immortality?an eiuvoattoa. from that Diviee Spirit whioh pervades all nature, and whioh, therefore, abut survive the tomb, and rise triumphant aud eternal above tho decaying dust of death aud tho grave. Thus, by tho our ner stone, tho good Mason is taught signifioucn and useful lessons. Lessons of duty, virtue and religious truth am portrayed to the contemplative mind, and he it led "from nature op to nature's Sod"?from the vanity and deformity of the things of earth to the glories and beauties of Heaven. The stone ef tho temporal building is tried by the Square, Level and Plumb, aud pronounced to be ? well tot med, true and trusty." So tho Mason in this life must be tried by temptation, suffering and adversity bo fore he becomes a polished stone, fit far the Temple above. He must be tested by the Square of Faith, tho Level of Hope, and the Plumb line of charity? before he ean bo pronounced by the Master Builder of souls to be material fit for tho spiritual building of Sternal Life. But if he cornea forth from tho trials, temptations and sufferings like pure gold from the renncr's firo, then verify shall be be doomed "Well formed, true and trusty," aud worthy to offer "Unto the Lord an offering in righteom neas," Tho corn, wine and oil are types and symbols of nil those abundant gifts of Divino Providenco bestowed 00 us daily, and are spoken of by King David in his catalogue of blessings, 11 As wine that maketh glad tho heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengUteneth man's heirt/* "Wherefore, my brethern, do y?u carry corn, wine and oil in your preoersioas, but to remind you that in the pilgrim age of human life you are to impart a portion of your bread to feed the hungry, to send a cup of your wine to cheer tho sorrowful, and to pour the healingoii of convolution into the wounds whioh tick ness hath made in your bodies, or afflio tloo rent in the hearts of your fellow travellers." Such are some of the use ful lessons and important truths those ceremonies are intended to teach. Lot us study, then, these truths, practise these virtues, and so live as to it our selves as lively and living stones for the spiritual building of eternal life, again ?
