Id. 1. 57-tf m R0BEsM0if\Ty m\ THE Sixth Annual Fair of the Robeson County Agri- / liUural Society, will be held lU RED SPRINGS, on Wr'lnesJay. Thuriiday and Friday, the 21st, 22d and - id lays of November next. The friends of Agricultu ral iiuprovemeni, in whatever branch of industry they iiiAv be engaged, whether their scale of operations b« large or mall, are again called upon and earnestly so licited to co-operate with the officers of this Society in pr •uioting the success of our approaching Fair. Agri- ■ ulmral Societies have aided very powerfully in the de- vt-!,,pment of the Agricultural, Mechanical and general pn'trres«ive interests of our country, and should be warmly sustained by all patriots and lovers of improve- Uient. i)ur Annual Fairs have contributed much in ^;;I^ulating etfort for improvement in the results of hus- • A.i.lry; and it cannot be questioned that much good has rf?ulted from the encouragement thus afforded by State tud I'ount}' associations: for aside from the mere pecu niary value of prizes, a spirit of active emulation has i.berebjr been awakened; and they have been the means . ''.ringing into notice the results of improved culture. .;i-‘reby leading others to adopt the methods by which the iDf >f«cimens of produce and stock have been obtained. Tuf great improvement manifest in the appearance . r. luctiveness of our farms, since the organiiation ■' i’.iie and County associations, must satisfy every ' — observer that they exert a powerful influence • ; and that our Fairs are something more than : •: ■- ws for amusement and to gratify sight-seeing . . ’ « t V . are «ocial gatherings where new acquaintances : rne'l. where petty animosities are forgotten and ws--' :;.c ' luJ' which unite us as a people are strength- ihe Farmers Mechanics and Artists of our : y will ftilly sustain their character for energy and ti-irri at the approaching Fair. The ladies, u- will nut allow it to be said that they have been iL !z in their duty, therefore we confidently expect j Haii t.: be eiegantly furnished.

I had no right to be so near the green-house.” The boys ran to the green-house, and there, sure enough, was Mr. Harding’s beautiful scarlet cac tus, in full bloom, thrown down upon the floor, and the plant broken. “OhI what will Mr. Harding say?” said George; “it was only yesterday he was showing it to Squire Lowndes’ gardener, and he said it was the finest he had seen for a long time.” ‘• '’on’ll catch it,” said Richard Gray, who was a very ill-tempereci boy, “you’ll catch it for going '1 lie. the j-reen-house with your ball.” • >lr. liardiog need not know anything about it,” said i'iiilip, “at least I will not tell who did it.” “Nor I,” said Joe Green; ‘none of us will; so do not trouble yourself about it George. When Will Thompson let the water run out of the water-butt, Mr. Harding tried all be could to find out, but he could not. We all said we did not do it.” “And,” said Philip, “we will all agree that we know nothing about how the cactus got knocked down, and he will think some one threw a stone out of the road and broke it. And so you will get out of the scrape.” George left them, and stood under the tree thinking of the mischief he had done, when Joe Greeen came up to him. “Be sure, George, if Mr. Harding a.sks you who did it, to say you did not.” “I could not say that,” said George, “for I did • do it.” Yes,” said Joe, “but then you needn’t say so, and we will all keep it quiet.” “OhI” said George, “but I shall be unhappy till 1 have confessed it.” “Then you are very foolish, and deserve all you will get,” said Philip Gray. “Yes,” added Joe Green, “and Morris will change his mind when he comes to school to-mor row.” When George reached home, he told his father of what had happened. “1 think,” said Mr. Morris, “that you do right to tell Mr. Harding all about it. If you were to follow the advice of your school-mates, you would cause them to practice deceit, and the blame of the aocident would fall ou the wrong person. Besides, you will add sin to sin; and suppose you deceive your teacher, you cannjt deceive God, for he knoweth all things. H is all-seeing eye is upon you, and you must act in his sight.” “We will see how he manages it,” said Richard, as they stood in a group at the school-door, on ttie following morning; “depend on it, he will be glad to do as we say.” All were seated in the school-room, and the master was about to commence the duties of the day with prayer, when George was seen leaving hia seat, and going towards Mr. Harding. Every thing was so atill, you might have heard a pin drop. “If you please sir,” said George, “Icanno^tell a lie,” and paused. “1 know you would not willfully,” said Mr. Harding. “Well?” George proceeded to give the history of the matter, and to beg Mr. Harding’s forgiveness. Mr. Harding’s eyes filled with tears; he could scarcely speak at first. AH eyes were fixed upon him, and on the youth who dared to be true. “George,” said Mr. Harding, “had you broken every pane of glass in the green house, and de stroyed every flower it contains, I would forgive you. You have done right in telling me the whole truth, snd I respect and love you for it. Give me your hand—I heartily forgive you.” George bowed and went to his seat.. “Perhaps,” said Mr. Harding, “there is n&t a boy in my school who never told a lie; for boya forget, I fear, that speaking what they know to be false is not the only way in whieh they may lie. Some deceive by their conduct, seeming to be what they are not; others tell o«ly a part of the truth, while others tell more than is true. Some promise ivhat they know they cannot do, and others neglcct to do what they promise. In all the.se ways they practice deception. When I was a boy, as I was standing in the play-ground, I received a blow from somebody (I did not know whom,) when a lad came up to me, and, putting his arm around my neck, said: ‘What a shame! I only wish I could catch him—he should not hit you for nothing!’ It was he that had struck me; he tried to deceive me. This was a lie in action. A nd have you never acted in a like manner? Oh! ■ftarc of lying in word or action. God hates Ij in- Never -iay I ‘didn’t do it,’ either by word or action, il’yuu Jid.” The late .Judge 1‘ease, of the Supreme Court of Ohio, was a noted wag. A young la'wyer was once making his first effort before him, and had thrown himself on the wings of imagioBtion, into the seventh heaven, and was preparing for a high er ascent, when the Judge struck his rulei' on the desk two or three times, and exclaimed astoniHhed orator: Hold on, hold on, my Don’t go any higher, for you are already ot the jurisdiction of this coart.” A Harmonious Country.—If there be any virtue in music to make a nation harmonious, the people of this country should dwell together in amity, for they purchase about twenty million pages of sheet music in a year, and their expendi-^ tures for music, musical instruction, and instru* meots reach many millions of doliars.
