Ladies and Gentlemen: We aro assembled here to-day for the ptirposo of laying tho corner stone of the Fair Building of the Orangeburg Agri cultural and Mechanical Association,.ac cording to Ancient Masonio usage ; add wo extend to all those who have conic up to cheor and assist in this noblo cuter prise, a most cordial and hearty grectiug. To those unacquainted with the object of] our Institution, these ceremonies may appear rain, idle and unmeaning. But to us, who have passed the Square and seen the light, they are full of beauty, fraught with interest and teach great and im portant truths. As the rude an unpol ished stone, just taken from the quarry js symbolical of our rudo and imperfect state by nature, so this polished stone mado ready by the hands of the skillful workman to be ndjustcd in the building, is typical of that perfection to which we may at lust arrive by a good aud virtuous life?"our own endeavors and the bless ings of God." It represents the heart and mind oi mar., divested of "All tho vices and superfluities of life," and fitted as a lively and living stone for that spiritual building, "That .house not mado with hands, eternal in the heavens." It rep resents the soul of man ripened for. heav and glory; for it can only bo *noW tried by tho Square ol God's Holy Word, aud pronounced perfect. This stouo is a per fect cube/ which is symbolical of truth. It is square which is an emblem of n.o. or the strict performance of every !y\ Its durability, in, contrast with 'he decay and ruiu of the wooden edifice to be erected upon it, reminds the Ma son that when this Earthly house of his tabernacle shall have passed away, he has within him a sure foundation stone of] eternal life?a corner stone of immortal ity?on emanation from that Divine Spirit which pervades all nature, and which, therefore, must survive the tomb, and rise triumphant and eternal above tho decaying dust of death and the grave." m Thus, by the Corner Stone, the good Mason is taught significant and useful lessons. LcssonB of duty, virtue and religious truth, as portrayed to the contemplative mind, aud he is led "from nature up to nature's God?from the vanity and deformity of the things of earth, to the glories and beauties of Heaven. The stone of the temporal building is tried by the Square, Level and Plumb, and pronounced to be "well formed, true and trusty." So thn Mnson in this life must be tried by temptation, suffering and adversity before he bo comes a polised stouo, fit for the Temple above. He must be tested by the Square of Faith, the Level of Hope, and the Plumb-line of Charity?before he can be pronounced by the Master Builder of souls to bo material fit for the spiritual building of Etornal Life. But if he conies forth from the trials, temptations and sufferings, like pure gold from the refiner's lire, then verily shall he be deemed "Well formed, true and trusty/' aud worthy to offer "Unto the Lord an offering in righteousness." The corn, wing and oil are tj pes and symbols of all those abundant gifts of Divine Providence bestowed upon us daily; and are spoken of by King David in his catalogue of blessings, "As wine that makcth glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strcngthencth man's heart.'" "Wherefore my brethren do y6? Carry com. wine und oil in yonr processions, but to remind you that ih the pilgrimage of human life you are to import a portion of your bread to feed tire hxtngry, to send a cup of your wiAe to cheer* ihc sor r? wful aud io p?ur (he hc.alirYg oil Of your eonsolittion ItUo tho wounds which sickness'hath made in "your bodies, Or tiflliction rent in the hearts of your fellow travellers."

If these involve ploughing*, it should be borne in mind that the ground is not often in con dition for tho plough nt this season of] the year, and all things should bonrranu- j gcd to take advantage of every rain. Ploughs, double and single-tree*, gear/ all should ho ready, that u start rorty be made after n rain without a rdorncnt's delay. One of the greatest difficulties in tire way of manuring with, green crops, is the dry weather of our autumns, and tho consequent impenetrability of the soil to the plough. Whenever therefore the latter is softened by a rain, no time should be lost to start the ploughs. Turni pand bnrlcy patches aro to be bro ken up?wheat aud ont fields aro to be turned over?pea vines are to bo turned under. lie is fortunate, who succeeds in j getting all these things douo in good sen son. fall'sowings. of all kind except wheat, should begin just us soon as the danger of excessive drought is over?from middle of August to middle of September. Fall oats were badly winter-killed this year?spring oats have been unusually fine. It will be un wise to conclude from this that fall oats won't do. Our own experience, and the best information we can get from all quarters is, that lall oats aro the most certain crop of tho two, and especially hi this true, if they are planted on rich land, or if well fertilized. A plaut well fed can resist cold, just as an animal well fed/ can do. Another safe-guard against cold is to sow in drills and cover the seed in such manner as to fill the drills in part only, so that the yo'ing plants may come up in trenches below the general surface, and have dirt gradually thrown upon them by the freezes, This may be ac complished by running furrows with a scoetcr, as close together as can be done without filling each other, putting outs and fertilizers in these, and covering by running n light harrow or brush across tho furrows. Cotton seed, Peruvian guana or sulphate of ammonia wih superphos phate, arc the best fertilizers for small grain, where -table immure cauuet be had. soiling chops for early sprino. An excellent succession is rye, barley, wheat and oats. They come on in order named?the rye, barley aud oats should be sown next month?wheat may be sown a month later. One acre through ly rich of cither of them, is worth a dozen of common land. On the latter they will shoot up slowly, you will not be able to get a cutting until late in the ppring,* and once cut, your patience will bo ex hausted before you get another. On the rieh land, the ryo and barley will be ready for the blado in Febuary, and Will hasten to meet you wheu you come for a second cutting.
