At a house by tall trees shaded, * Away in a Jersey grove, Young Jonathan serenaded His buxom lady love. He stripped himself of Us duster, And swigging a flask of gin. His courage he tried to muster, And thus did lie begin. “Get out of your bed, dear HeUie, Te gladden your love sick beau, And list to the amorous ditty, I’m t-ingin’ to-night for you. • “Git up and come to the window So I see yourifijee so fair— There’s no one—not even Beliuder— With you I would .compare. “The moon is up in the sky love, And its face is round atid blight, And it says that you and 1 love Should be out enjoying its light, “The stars are at recreation, Velocipeding the skies, And Hjtarkeing emulation Os your more brilliant eyes. “But whence does this odor come love. That now salutes my nose ? Though flowers around me bloom love ’Tis uot from them it blows. “ 'Tis not from the sweet carnation That grows here underneath. • ’Tis the fragrant ex imitation Os your delicious breath. “Oh, rise from your downy pillow, And come to ny eagar arms, And under the spreading willow We’ll talk, of nature’s charms. “Get out of this riokettv bastile, Aud I’ll cany you on my back Away to my lordly castle. By the murmuring Hackensack. “Forsake your parental tyrant, Who tortures and plagues you so. And fly with your young aspirant Who watts for you here below. ’‘l know that your sire has stamps, love, So hasten and come away— -1 want to get over the swamps love Before tire dawn of day. For others I have no thought, o f Even a look, as you know well”— Just then a tub of hot water Around his shoulders foil ! THE STATE FAIR. The Telegraph of the 20lb thus speaks of the THE FAIR. Whatever opinion may ho expressed to the contrary, the exhibition itself is triitg nificent. It far exceeds in magnitude the anticipations of the Telegraph. The whole of the iminence building—the Laboratory —is filled with trophies of art ~and inge nuity, and the upper floor—a hall between three and tour hundred feet in length, i<- crowed with interesting objects. Syiendid pianos, costly furniture, beautiful pictures, plate, jewlry, embroideries,cloths, clothing lor ladies aii<f gentlemen, books, carpeting, boots and shoes, caockery harness, plants fruit* confectionaries, preserves, and many hundred articles of household and personal adornment and utility are here in endless detail. Below in the first story the show in ma chinery ami agricultural implements is lit.- eraly grand, and fills the whole space. Outside are horse powers, cotton presses, ploughs, wagons carriages, stock and fowls besides a great many outside shows of all kinds. The sight of tiie'amphitheatre or hipodrome was literally magnificent. That imnienuc cicrl« built to accormaodato ten thousand people was crowded, not a foots’space was osL It was aliving bank of human flowers —brilliant with all hues and radiant’s with Georgia loveliness. The hipodroine con tained eigh or ten thousand. The ground outside was thronged. The laboratory building was literally a press above aud below, and Huff’s Rink, outside and inside was a sea of life. The whole represented an assembladge of fifteen thousand people, and constituted one of the most brilliant scenes we ever beheld. WHAT TUB NORTHSBN VIBITOUT SAY. Every visitor has been struck with ad - miration at the appearance of the popular throng at the State Fair. Colonel Knoxi who, as a private citizen, and as Presi dent for some years past of the State and a county agricultural society in Pennsyl vania, is very fatuilliar with such gather ings, says he never saw one to compare with it iu point of intelligence, "order so briety, good manners, and the* splendid physique of the people, women an I men. Colonel Forney and others of our North ern visitors made substantially the same admission. Sulou Robinson, of the New York Tribune, who has been in attendance upon fairs for a lifetime, says the appear ance of such a concourse, so well and rich ly dressed, in so short a lime after a ruin ous war, is the most wonderful illustration of the recuperative energy of a people lie ever saw He could never, h »ve believed it had he not seen it. When we asked him how toey* compared with similar gather ings in other parts of the country, bis terse reply was, “As well as the best.** SAD ACCIDENT TO A WELL-KNOWN GIN-MAKER Ur.
