HIESTAND « E. M. KLINE, Editors and Proprietors, rsFntten for the Examiner 4 Herald. SOKGS OF FIFTY YEAES AGO. KO. 5.*—THE PKAISE.S OF WO.MAN. "Fond memory brings the light of other days around me." Both Eexc.1 givo ear to my fancy. While the praises ol' woman I sing, Conflned not to Molly or Kancy. But, nliko, from a beggar to a King. When Adam wns flrst created, And lord of this planot wascrown'tl. Ills happiness was not completed. Until that a help-iucot waa fouod. Sbo was uot tahen out of his head, sir, To rule and Triumph over man, Sb'^ was not taken out of hi3 feet, air. To bo rilled and trampled upon. But sho wns taken nut of hia aide, sir, His partner and oqaul to be. Then na Ihoy are united in one, sii*, Tlie man is the trunk of the tree. * In Hcquencn ofllme. No.5 oflhis sorloB. •would be a song entitled the "Little Old Man" —whicli we transcribed and published,wilh some mcitjinons thereon, iu llio DtiUj/ Evnn- iixa j:ri}rejii:," of February ai, 16«9. which sufli¬ ciently redeems it from oblivion, and lo which IboreiidPTis referred, should ho be in anywise Intcrejilrd in tlto Sonnsof fittt/vears «i70. Itwill llieref.ire. not be reproduced liere. The first timo we heard this song— about the year 1S2-3—we have n distinct recolleptio'n, Ihnt lho first line ended with the word .'='or.!.', instead of "fancy." Subsequently it was puni: as we have transcribed it above, but, upon what authority, or for wliat reason wc know not, unless il might have beon for the sake of the rliyiiie. "Wo are doubtful, liowever, whether this substitution lins improved tlie .sentlnient, for it must be evident in whnt follows, that tho au¬ thor intended to represent the subject as nfacf, and not ol faney. A fact, too, not merely .-ipplicable to ons class, or ono society, or n.ation, but to the wholo huinan rice, high and low, rich and poor, bond and fiee. AUhough writ¬ ten, perhaps, much raoro than lifty years ago, it will be .=eon that the writer had no mean estimate of the social, doineatic, and moral position of wo¬ man ; nevertholes.s, it is quite aa evi¬ dent that he ooiiteniplaled a functional distlnctloD in the sexes, which ultra moderu reformers seem to think there Is not. Jn the -Uh lino of tho second stanza, tho word ficlp-matc was universally used—indeed, wo do nol recollect of ever baving had heard it sung otherwise; but we have, notwitliatanding, substl- Ihe word " liclp-vicet." There is no otherbook, of equal authority, in which tho creation of man is recorded, except the Bible, and in that book it is dis¬ tinctly stated, that tho creator mado him a *' help-meet." Wo use this as a compound word, and therefore in the singular number. Help-meet, therefore, ia an innpircd word, a word of God, whilst help mate is only illuminated—a word of roan; ooDsequeutly, there must be n distinc¬ tion in their meanings, for a woman may be a hclp-inate and not necessarily a help-meet. Indeed, in an analogous sense, onom.iy be a help-mate to an¬ other man. A help-mato only seems to involve a physical relation, whilst a help-meet involves something more, something higher—a mental, a moral, and a spiritual relation. A help-meet Implies the kind of help a man needs, In uis social, moral and spiritual regen¬ eration, and not one of merely physical or even domestic help. ^Yo venture to assert, that if every man on this earth had a belp-7ncet for liim—that is, the kind of help his social aud moral con¬ stitution requires—there would be less unliappines.s, less inlidelity, less in¬ temperance, and less debauchery, and wickedness of all kinds, in the %vorld than there ia now. Because, we sin¬ cerely believo that there is no physical force—no legal suasion, that can wield such an effective power over man, aa the moral suasion of a woman, who is his God-appointed help-meet. Shecan even exercise this power for evil, when she ceases to be his help-meet, as Eve did, after she had listened to tlie temp¬ tations of the serpent. A woman may slave herself in perpetual vesatioD of spirit, In catering for the merely phys¬ ical wants of the husband and family: she may murmuringly impose untold burdens upon herself, iu order to re¬ lieve or gratify her wayward children, and still not be the help-meet that her huaband and children require. Ali tbese things are perishable and will perish with her; for they ara the mere ad- junots of a ?ielp mate, and may effect little or nothing in building up a beau¬ tiful and orderly spiritual body, suoh as tbe angels have. Indeed, in these perishable duties, theso panderings to physical wants only, these unwise in- auigencies of her family, sha may so far sacrifice all mental and moral cul¬ ture in herself as to be unable to render moral and spiritual support to her hus¬ band and children, at the very timo when they most need them. Woman may become an apparent help-meet for man, when through her superior tact, energy, perseverance, in- telligenon and skill, she helps him in accumulating a fortune, advances his pecuniary, aocial and political iuterests, or by temporary self denials and sacri- flccs, aids him in attaining tue ends of his merely wordly ambition; but it will become manifest to what extent she bas been ahelp mcciforhim, when their ends have been accomplished — Whether she is wise or foolish, benex'o- lent or parsimonious, prudent or profli¬ gate, economical or wasteful, charita¬ ble or grudging, social or selflsh, moral or carnal, indulgent or exacting, spir¬ itual or sensual, at such times, at sucli places, and under such circumstances, wheu those good .sttributes ought to be exercised, and the evil ones avoided ; and how far she is in unity with him lu all these things. JVoman is the subject of our song, and we aro discussing the rela'ivo po¬ sition of womau. When we discuss man we may havo as much, and even much more to say, in respect to what Ar ought to be. AVoman'a slatus is neg¬ atively slated in tho third stanza. Uo women themselves see antl acknowl¬ edge that she was neitlier taken out of tho head nnr the feet of mnn? Some women voluntarily act as if she was taken out of the head ; and othcrsquite as voluntarily as If she was taken outof ' the feet of man. Both of these posi lions are a perversion of her true posi¬ tion—her God-appointed position—for Itwas not so " In the beginning." Wo¬ man may unwoman herself so far as to desire a position that is foreign to her sex. So may human beings walk in¬ verted on tiieir hands, or write witb tlieir feet; but these are no greater ex¬ hibitions of physical disorder than a woman's performance of tho functions ofa man are evidences of social disor¬ der. Her truo position is shadowed forth In the Inststnnza. She was taken out of his Si'rfe, which implies tliat she waa intended to be liis equal, although none tlie less his help-meet: his equal just as the eye and the ear arc equal, although functionally different. Every woman who is aljle to appreciate her mission asa helpmeet, will beable to discover this difference, nnd will con- ductherselfaccordingly. Heaven needs woman angels as well as mau angels, and these the Almighty can only re¬ cruit from among women on earth. If they cultivate and build up a masculine, moral and social manhood In this world, they will be unscxed iu tbat realm where tbe moral and social rela¬ tions of the human family exist in their pristine purity and perfection. She is neither to " triumph over man" nor to he " trampled upon" by him : let her not tramjile upon herself. They are to ba one, just ns the trunk and the branches ofa tree are one, but different in functions. Tbe mau the supporting frun/;-sometimes even a rough trunk, bnt none the worse for that if there is a sound heart within; the woman, the gentle, the beautiful, flower and fruit- bearing branches. This aong was quite popular in East Donegal fifty years ago, and at a later dato. Although we had heard it be¬ fore, we only learned it In 1827 from a fellow-apprentice, who was as fall of song as an orange is fall of pulp, and withal was a most excellent singer.— We parted from him in 1830, and have never seen him but once since—fall thirty years ago. We wonder If he re¬ members the song, and has ever been led to reflections on it analogous to ours? Grantellus. LAKOASTES AOBICVLTimAI. FAnt. BEPOBTED BV J. D. PYOTT. The Exhibition which was to have commenced on Tuesd^, on the grounds of the Agricultural Park Association waa unavoidably postiionea untU W^ed-: nesiUy inornlng on account of tbe (nr clement state of the wealher, which made It Impossiblo for eshlbltore to get their stock and goods to the ground, and also rendered the track too deep for successful trials of speed. The warm aun of Tuesday, however, remedied these evils—the track dried up flnely, and many additions were made to the Hat of entries. There was more than twice as much stock on exhibition as at the last An¬ nual Fair, and much ofit of a very sap¬ erlor character. Among the horses was a very fine browu Hambletonian stall¬ ion colt, two years old, of beautiful build and style, entered by Mr. .1. F. Echter- uach. Mr. H. G. Hiestand entered a hand¬ some two-year old sorrel stallion, that gives promise of great excellence. Isaac Zeamer exhibited a fine brood mare and two twin blooded sucking colts. K promising yearling darlc sorrel horse colt of the Candian breed, belong¬ ing to L. Hoffman Hershey, was on the ground. L. G.

The announcement that there would bo a trot between a fleld of nine horses, and a running race between three oth¬ ers drew to the ground In the alternoon of Wednesday a large concourse of apec- lators. The grand stand was graced with the presence of a larger number of ladies than we recollect to havt^ aeen upon It before. At tbo appointed time, 'Ih o'clock p. m., the gong rang lor tho "appearance of the horses, and at tho summons no leas than eight trotters stepped upon the track, a larger number lhan had ever appeared there to take part in a single race. The following horses were entered : .Toshua McComsey enters g. b. •• Harry.'' Paris Iluldcmau Gnter.s br. m. " Juliet.'"" Peter Erb entera r. b. " Ited Squirrel." Jacob Myer entera br. h. "Bill." Win. Deitrich enters a. h. " Bushel Foot." J. M. Hess (miller) enters r. h. " Bill." Gen. Ross enters s. h. " Frank." Alj. Hiestand enters i». b. " Warsaw Ned." K. II. Kautfman euteis 1<. m. " Sallie .Swarr.'' Considerable difflculty was experi¬ enced in getting them sent off, but they finally came up in two or three rows and got tlie word "go" forthe First Kcat.—Harry soon drew ahead of the olhers, and then Warsaw Ned followed bim, leaving the othere strug¬ gling and straggling In the rear. Harry won the heat in 2:501, Ned coming in a good second. Bushel Foot and Bill dis¬ tanced. Tho othera not placed. At tbe conclusion of tbis lieat there was a boat of Ibe half-mile running race look place. Second Mcat.—S'ix. horses started, but Harry and Ned again aoon took the lead, the others breaking and behaving badly. Hnrry had a little the best of the heat throughout, and crossed the score a little ahead in 2:4SJ, the others being all distanced. Third Heat—Harry and Ned now Iiad the track to themselves. At the first attempt they got away very evenly, and kept together around the lower turn ; along the back Harry showed slightly in the lead, aud kept it until near the flnish of the half-mile, when Ned made a slurge and crossed the line a little ahead. Along the back-stretch Harry broke badly, losing several lengths, which he could not regain, and Ned cnme home a winner of the heat in 2:46. Fourth Heat.—Ned now took the pole, nnd the horses got off very evenly. Along the back-stretch Ned took the lead, but, breaking, Harrv came along¬ side of him, and stayed there, the two crossing the half-mile line neck and neck. Horry broke In going around the lower turn, but lost no distance. In going by the back-stretoh Ned also broke several times, but gained more than he lost.. Both horses turned into the home-stretch together and came down at good apeed,T)ut hefore reach¬ ing the scoiie Harry broke and crossed It on a run half a length iu the rear of Ned, who took the beat in 2:48} At the end of the heat there was consider¬ able excitement among the friends and drivers of the two horses, each party charging that the other had gained ad¬ vantages by running his horse., Tho Jadges, however, paid no attention to the complaints; and so each borse had now won two heats and the friends of each were confident of winning the next. Therewas considerable betting going on while the horses prepared for the Fifth Ucat.—KUer one falae start the horses got away well together, Ned having a little the beat of it. Harry broke badly on the back-stretch, and lost some distance which he failed to regain in the first half-mile, Ned cross¬ ing tiie lino a full length ahead. In going up the back-stretch Harry again broke and Ned appeared to be trotting with his fore feet and hopping with his liind feet. Ho kept thelead until com¬ ing down the homo stretch, when he broke and Harry overtook him, aud tiiere was a spirited conteat forthe heat and race, and they dashed pnst the Judges' Stand side by side amid tbe cheers of the spectators, a huudred volcea called out "heat." But the Judges wlio had carefully kept their eyes on tho horses, decided that Harry hnd won the heat and the race In 2.4Si. THE ItUKNINO KACE. This event was a half-mile race, best 3 in 5, Lancaater county horses, for a purse of $175, ($100 to flrst horse, $50 to second, and $25 to third,) the following entries were made: Daniel Logan enters a. h. ''Sorrel Dan." Uriah Eckert enters b. s. "General Negley." KauCfman &. Millor enters s. h. " Moltke. First Hea/.—Sorrel Dan took the lead from the start and kept it thronghout tho hent, Negley coming In second and Moltke far behind. Time 54i^. * Second Heat,—Moltke was drawn, leaving the contest between Sorrel Dan and Negley. After a few false starts they got away evenly. At the lower turn Negley attempted to bolt, ran off to the outairie of track and lost consid¬ erable distance, and Dan came home an easy winner by a dozen lengths in 53}-. i'hird Heat.—A new rider was mount¬ ed on Negley, the boy who had pre¬ viously rode him heing unable to hold him. The new rider, however, was too heavy, weighing 135 pounds. At the flrst attempt the horses got ott' together. Dan took the lead, and although the rider of Negley used the whip through¬ out the heat, he made no show of win¬ ning, Dan taking the heat and raceun- der a pull In 57j. This ended the racing for tlie day, and the crowd soon dispersed. TKnSSDAY'S EXHIBITION. The attendauco at the Park on Thurs¬ day was aa large if not larger than at any former meeting, ihcrc being not lesa than six or eight thousand visitors present during tbe races in the after¬ noou.

At two o'clock, p. m., the hour an¬ nounced for the trials of speed to take place, the stands and the grounds around the track were crowded by a throng of spectators, numbering uot less than six thousaud ]ieople. Two races wereudvertiseii totake place—the flrst a trot for a premium of $175, for Lancaster county liorses that had uever beaten 3 minutes, best 3 in 5 In haruess. Tho second, a trot for $300, for Lancas¬ ter county horses that had never beaten 2:40, best 3 in 5 in harness. The lieats of tbe two races were run alternately, but we will report each separately. For the first race si.x horses were en* tered, but only four started, viz: Mr. McComaey's grey horse Harry, Mr. Clark's brown horse Jack Rodgers, Mr. Hiestaud's bay horse Warsaw Ned, and Mr. Kauffman's bay mare Sallie Swnrr. First Heat.—After two or threo fail¬ ures to get awa3', the word was givon, with Ned Inside, Sallie next, Jack third and Harry on the outside. Ned soon drew to the front, with Harr.v in hot chase. At the hnlf-mile polo Ned waa a length to tho front, Harry second, Sally a number of lengths beliind, and Jack still further in the rear. The last half mile was ruu without materiai change, and- Ned ero.s.scd the score two orthree lengths uliend of Harr3', Sal¬ lie some distance behind, and Jack dis¬ tanced. Time. 2:12^. Second Uenl.—Tlie horses got offat the .second atlempt, Ned ieniling, and Harry closing up, Sally lagging behind. Tho half mile was llnlshed with Ned a length in the lead, Harry second, and Sallie several lengths behind. Those positions were not much changed du¬ ring the last half mile, Ned takiug tho heat by a short length, in 2:42J. Third Heat.—HotHCH off nt lirst at¬ tempt, Ned slightly leadiug. Bolh horses drew away from the mare, and trotted elose together during tlie entire half miie, crossing the line neek nnd neck. During tho second half mile Ned broke badly several times, makiug a number of awkward jumps, but losing little or nothing by them. On entering tlie home-stretch he was a full length ahead; lost distance, Harry closing on him, and at length passing him, winning the lieat by half a leugth in 2:44.j. Sallie almoat distanced. Fourth Heat.—Around the lower turn nnd along the buck-stretch Harry led, Ned breaking before reaching the up¬ per turn, but as usual gaining by it. At tlie upper end Harry also broke and lost a length or two. The half mile wus completed with Ned three lengths ahead. Aloug the back-stretch he did some more fancy jumping, and Harry passed him and ekpt the lead to lho close, passing the score two lengths ahead of Ned and several hiore in ad¬ vance of .Sallie. Time, 2:48*. During thia heat all three of the horses broke frequently and run a great deal too much. Fifth ncat—lXei\ a little ahead at tile start—both together along the back- stretch—Harry ahead along upper end —half-length ahead at half-mile score— Ned caught up and took lead on baek- atretch, along which he broke and run —at upper turn Harry followed smart, but did not catch u\i—down home- atretsii Harry trotted splendidly and gained rapidly, Ned making several ugly hops, and crossing the score a short length ahead In 2;&, Sallie being I nowhere. The j udgea gave'the heai ini the race to Harry, on account of Ned's frequent eccentricities in the'way of imoving his The following is a summary: Lancaster Agrlculiaral Park, Oct.

SECOND RACE. This was a mile trot for a premium of £300, for Lancaster county horses that had never beaten 2:40, best three in five in harness. For it were entered the bay horse Dave, the sorrel stallion Vosburg and tha blue mare Blue Belle First ^ea<.—Belle took the lead with Vosburg following—Dave broke at low¬ er turn and lost four lengths—Belle broke at upper turn and both others pnssed her—at half-mile pole, Vosburg with tha others closed up—at three- quarter pole all together—Vosburg crossed tbe score one length ahead of Dave, and Belle wns four lengths be¬ hind. Time, 2:421. At the conclusion of the first heat, objection was made to Vosburg on the ground that ho was not a Lancaster county horse. Mr. Uriah Bltzer, of tbia city, came forward and made afli¬ davlt that ho was the owner of the horse, and the race was proceeded with. Second HeaL-OR' even at first at¬ tempt—along backstretoh Vosburg led, with Dave second—Belle behaving bad¬ ly—at half-mile Vosburg,two lengths ahead of Dave, and Belle the same dis¬ tance behind him—up the baokstretch Dave gained and Bello fell off—pretty trotting down the liomestretch—Vos¬ burg crossing the score and taking the heat by a half a length in 2:46J—Bolie several lengths behind. Third flisat.-Vosburg and Dave kept well together during the first half-mile, the former passing the pole a short length ahead—on lower turn he broke and Dave took place beside him—on backstretch Dave showed a little to the frout—fine trot home—Vosburg win¬ ning the heat aud the money by a short length in 2:41—Belle havingbeen out-footed throughout the entire race.

On Friday morning at an early hour the country folks began to come into the city in great numbers. By ten o'clock many hundreds of carriages ranged along the curbs of the different hotels. Brawny lads and bonnie lasses from the rural districts promenaded the streets chatting gleefully. Tho staid farmers with stalwart frames el¬ bowed their way through the crowd with sturdy independence. All day the Fair grounds were crowded by a great concourse of people, who looked with mnch interest upon the various objects so tastefully displayed. When tho races began iu the afternoon the grand stand presented a very animated and attractive appearance. It was crowded with ladies arrayed in bright colora all busilj' talking to their com¬ panions. The railing outside the track was liued with a struggling and eager hiass of sight-seera. As a favorite horse gained advantage the crowd cheered lustly, and the preference thua exhibit¬ ed snowed that they were just in their judgment and anxious that the beat animal should win. All seemed to en¬ joy the occasion highly, nnd it Is safe to predict that in couiing yeara the exhi¬ bitions of the Association will annu¬ ally be looked forward to with eager interest by the mass of onr people and liberally patronized. The receipts du¬ ring the day from tickets of entrance amounted to fifteen hundred dollars, and the crowd on the grounds could not have numbcrod less than six thousand. We continue our comments on arti¬ clea on exhibition: In the department allotted to fine arts, musical Instruments, textile fab¬ rics, needle, leather, and hair work, the display waa very creditable. On entering the room the attontion of tha visitor was at once arrested by the fine display of fur goods, made by Mr. Frederick J. Scheuing, the most prominent article exhibited b.v him be¬ ing the Immense polar bear skin cap¬ tured during Hall's expeditiou in search of Sir John Frankiin. The musical instruments exhibited by Steinhauser & Brother, were of a very superior quality. They consist of a fine patent Arlou piano, tliree of Shoninger'a Eureka organa, a melodeon and a harp. Esther A. Best exhibited a very beau¬ tiful wax wreath, encased in a deep oval frame; Mrs. E. H. Brown au elegant wax harp; George Lutz a vase of wax flowers, and Mrs. Woifersber- ger a frame of wax flowers. Mrs. W. L. Peiper, Mrs. M. Ehler, Mra. S. P. Eiiy, aud Miss Sue C. Fr.v zer exhibited some elegant sofa cush¬ ions. Miss Leah Balmer also exhibited one zephyr and bead-work sofa cushion, four beautiful pin-cuslilons and a few samples of needle work. M iss Lottie Balmer exh ibi led a liaiid- some tide and toilet set. Mrs. .S. Eby exhibited a variety of lineu, thread and woolen yarn spun by herself, and several sheets, blankets and coverlets made from the same. She also exhibited a beautiful patch¬ work quilt. Jlrs. Heury Widmyer, Mrs. Eliza Harman, Jlrs. George W. Engle, Mra. E. Spurrier, Mrs. L. Peiper, Mrs. S. B. Everts, Mra. Georgo Calder, sr., Mra. Cyrus B. Porter and othera diaplayed a nuniber of silk and muslin patch-work quilts, and iHrs. John Simpson an al¬ bum quilt. Quilo a number of beautiful al'ghaus wero on exhibition prominent among which were thoae of Mrs. Strickler Everts, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Sue C. Fra¬ zer, Maggie Dougherty, and Kate Filz¬ patrick. Anne M. Deaner sliowed a flne vari¬ ety of bead and crochet work, and samples of fine embroidery. Mrs. D. R. Ehler had ou exhibition a beautiful, largo, while counterpane, and Philip Shu ma variety of coverlets. Mrs. C. Gunlon exhibited a uumber of elegantly worlsed uight-gowu and chemise yokes. Miss .Sue Himes a wreath aud boquet composed of hair, and Mrs. H. L. Zahm a beautiful vase of (lowers. lira. E. J. Henry cxhibted an old looking glass purchased in 1740 by Wm. Lightuer, her great-grandfather. In tho house-keepiug department, in addition to articles heretofore mention ed, Mrs. C. B Moore, Mrs. Amos K. Bowers, Mrs. S- Himes, Mrs. Martha J. Leachy, Mrs. Amanda Rohrer, Mrs. Margaret Heed and E. J. Barr exhibited each some very flne samples of bread, rusk, cakes, doughnuts, crullei's, &o. A nuinber of ladles exhibited very choice samples of Lancaster county butter. Hundredsof articles of merit wereon exhibition which It is impossible in our limited space oven to notice. Suffice it to say that all tbe the articles on exhi¬ bition reflected taste on tha enterprise, taste. Judgement, or skill of the differ¬ ent exhibitors, and the Fair as a whole wns a decided success. THE BACKS. The grand stand, the open stand, and the grounds were again thronged in the afternoon to witness the races advertised to take plnce. The flrst was a running race for a premium of $400, open to all horses. To carry weight for age. Mile heats, best 3 In 5. For this premium the celebra¬ ted horses Jerrold, Boaster and En¬ chantress contended. First Heat,—Boaaler won the inside. Enchantress second place, and Jerrold ouUide. At tha third trial they got away well together but Jerrold soon fell behind. There was not much change in position durlngthe half-mile. Boaster passing tha pole first, Euchantrcsa aecond and Jerrold some distance be¬ hind. On the th ird quarter Jerrold be¬ gan to pull up and collared tha othera at the upper turn, and crossed the score a length ahead of Boaster and three lengths ahead of Enchantress, in 1.601. Second Beat,—"Sha horses got off well together and kept together throughout the first half-mile passing the pole neck and neck. Ou the back- stretch Enchantress lost distance, and the others ran together until coming down the homestretch when Jerrold pushed to the front and took tho lead by a short length la l:50j—Enchantress four lengths behind. ¦Third Heat,—%ome difflculty was ex¬ perienced in starting the horses. Boas¬ ter insisting on leading off. At last they got away, and kept together dur¬ ing the first quarter, when Enchant¬ ress again fell away. At the half-mile pole Jerrold and Boaster wero together, and in going up the backstretch Boas¬ ter was a full neck ahead and Enchant¬ ress half a dozen lengths behind. On entering the homestretch Jerrold seem¬ ed to have a very little tbe best of it. The rider of Boaster freely used the whip but failed to come up, Jerrold taking tha heat hy a neck, in 1:61. There was a good deal of growling among the betters, many believing that Boaster had been ridden to lose. The time was complained of, ns not¬ withstanding tho excellent condition of tho track, the raco was some flve sec¬ onds slower than it was in June last, between tho same horses, when tho track was comparatively heavy. In explanation tho owner of Boaster said his horse was lame, and wanted tu draw him after tlie first heat, but ns the Judges said they would havo to de¬ cide the horso disturbance if he was drawn, the race went on as bofore. The following is a summary: Lancaster Agricultural Park, Oct. 7. 1870. Running Premium ?400 (230 to flret, $100 to second and S50 to third horse.) Open toall horses—weight for age.

First Heai.—hhvi tiiree attempts they got away, Ned a little in tiie lead, wbicli he kept to tbe half miie pole, at the third quarter they were neck and neck, and Ned passed the .score, a short neek ahead in 2:41i. Frauk was outfooted and drawn. The Judges de¬ cided tliat the heat should begiveu to Harry on account of Ned's frequent running and the unfairuess ofhis gait, and warned his driver not t.o repeat the tactics heretofore used to make liini win, or he would be ruled off. Second Heal.—Harry took the lead at tbe lower turn and kept it ihrougli¬ out the race, the driver of Ned appar¬ ently afraid to pusii his horse for fear of getting bim into his half-trotting and lialf-running gait. Harry wou easily in 2:58. I'hird i/ca<.—Harry took tlio lead and kept It througliout, Nedexhibitiug a uumber of hia fancy iiop-skip-aiid- Jump tricks. Harry crossed the score In a Jog trot In 2:55.

THE LITTLE SE.\MSTUE3S. On the eastern coast of England, (whiuli is almost an island, and lias, therefore, a great oxtentof coast,) lliero stretohea out into tho beautiful North Sea a narrow strip of laud, rioh iu veg¬ etation, and covered in summer with the delicate and gorgeous bluum of a great variety of wild flowers, aud the tangled masses of trailing vines. The tali reeds out in the water bent loving¬ ly over it, refiectiug their graceful forma in this puro mirror, for tbe sea is clear and blue, ihough many of the rt vers of England are turbid aud yellow, The grass here gr>>ws rank, tall, and green ; and when a soft wind fans it gently, it looks liko a wonderful eme¬ rald sea, with tiny ripples breaking over it. But beware how you confide iu Its alluring beauty, for if you liope to walk upon it, out to the reeds beyond you are more than likely lo siulc Into tbe porous earth, aud maj' not get back to the substantial meadow iu tlio back grouud wilhout great trouble! The prettiest, greenest moss is to be found lieie; the treea are covered with it, and the gay-colored vines cling to the brauches, mailing them look, in un au¬ tumn sunset, like noble old caatle: crowded together, witli bright lighta in the windows, an'! ivy growing thickly over all. But the waves come up through tbe swaying reeds; uji over the waving, treaclierous grass; up over the flowoi'- ing mosses and tangled vines; laving tile feet of tho nearest trees, nnd keep¬ ing everylhing moist, but luxurious, half tho "long year. Overall this autumn beauty, in the autumn stillness, and floating iikea fairy in the soft, iiumid uir, while carol iug a liappy, tuneful lay, comesabusy little seamstress to her day's work. Her attire ia of modest, demure brown; but slie bustles aliout in a quick, eiiergelie way, with her head o-j oue aide, wijlle her restless, inquiHitivo eye Holes all thecbanges which have take piacesince aiie was here in the early spriug. She observes keenly that the old oak, over there in the glade, wears a new head¬ dress; and sbo laughs to see how the young mistletoe haa been making love to him ! But being an industrious little body, she soon sets hersif to work. Goiug to a greatclusterofbrown leaves, under the shadow of a willow tree, she brings out iu her mouth a slender thread. " What will she do now?" Ahi she will sew together some bright green leaves which hang from the low branch of an alder bush When, after a timo, her thread is out whero do you suppose she goes for another supply? She skips aliout among the tall flags, lu nnd out through tbe sedge by the shore, and in a few mo¬ ments is back again, wilh a spider's web in her mouth. You will say tbis must be. Indeed, a dainty seamstress, who can sew witli a spider web I Ab ! so she is; and while she thus merrily Btitohes and sings, d.iy after day, from sunrise to sunset, a week glides by. When at last the final stitch is taken, and all is finished, what dn think has been made? A dress? No. A coat "J No. A suit of clothes? No. Towels? No. 'lable linen? No. Any .trtieleof dress ? No. All I you must give it up, for It is a house! Yea, a complete dwelling; and to see the little seam¬ stress now, as she goes about to seek furniture for ber new abode, would scarcely remind you of the pretty, brown-suited ladies who go shopping ou Lake street. But tliat she pleases herself quite as readily as tbey, it is not hnznrdous to hope—selecting tlio very heart of an ugly, thorny plant, as life sole embellishment for the complete conifort of her new dwelling. And I may assure you her abode is now lux¬ urious, for what eould be softer than thistle down. From the very beginning, the happy husband of the llttie seamstress (he is a tailor) has been near her, laboring contentedly beside her, though his forta does not seem to be so much in the architectural line as hers; and he sometimes stcalsaway to singand bathe, while she is ot work. But we will not condemn him for this, as he has many noble qualities. He is an excellent commissary and soon has an opportun¬ ily of proving this fact. They are, too, a very contented, happy couple, though occupying a humble station. Happi- nesss does not belong alone to tbe rich or the great, and of tills truth the little talloraodseamstress are flt illustrations. As usual, the wife assumes her hus¬ band's name, and thus both are known as the "Tailor Birds." After a time, several tiny seamstress¬ es and tailors come out of the eggs that have so long rested ou the soft thistle down, and begin to gaze upou the great, wide world, and wonderful, bluo sea. Then how the little husband and fath¬ er files about! Not a worm or insect in their nelgiiborhood escapes his eye. Of course, with such care, the little family soon grows large enough to ex¬ plore the suriounding country, aud in a few weeks go out into the world on theirown account. When the autunin air beeomcs cold, and the littlo brown dresses and jack¬ ets are not warm enough, the wholo family fiy across the sea to tlie sunny climalo of France, wiiore they spend tho winter. But In April they come back to build their nest in some reedy marsi), warbling some sweet love sto¬ ries lo the sedges on tho bank, and fanned by the fragrant air of their own dear native England.—iiWc Corporal.

JOHN A. HIESTAND « E. M. KLINE, Editors and Proprietors,
rsFntten for the Examiner 4 Herald. SOKGS OF FIFTY YEAES AGO.
KO. 5.*—THE PKAISE.S OF WO.MAN.
"Fond memory brings the light of other days around me."
Both Eexc.1 givo ear to my fancy.
While the praises ol' woman I sing, Conflned not to Molly or Kancy.
But, nliko, from a beggar to a King. When Adam wns flrst created,
And lord of this planot wascrown'tl. Ills happiness was not completed.
Until that a help-iucot waa fouod.
Sbo was uot tahen out of his head, sir, To rule and Triumph over man,
Sb'^ was not taken out of hi3 feet, air. To bo rilled and trampled upon.
But sho wns taken nut of hia aide, sir,
His partner and oqaul to be. Then na Ihoy are united in one, sii*,
Tlie man is the trunk of the tree.
* In Hcquencn ofllme. No.5 oflhis sorloB. •would be a song entitled the "Little Old Man" —whicli we transcribed and published,wilh some mcitjinons thereon, iu llio DtiUj/ Evnn- iixa j:ri}rejii:," of February ai, 16«9. which sufli¬ ciently redeems it from oblivion, and lo which IboreiidPTis referred, should ho be in anywise Intcrejilrd in tlto Sonnsof fittt/vears «i70. Itwill llieref.ire. not be reproduced liere.
The first timo we heard this song— about the year 1S2-3—we have n distinct recolleptio'n, Ihnt lho first line ended with the word .'='or.!.', instead of "fancy." Subsequently it was puni: as we have transcribed it above, but, upon what authority, or for wliat reason wc know not, unless il might have beon for the sake of the rliyiiie. "Wo are doubtful, liowever, whether this substitution lins improved tlie .sentlnient, for it must be evident in whnt follows, that tho au¬ thor intended to represent the subject as nfacf, and not ol faney. A fact, too, not merely .-ipplicable to ons class, or ono society, or n.ation, but to the wholo huinan rice, high and low, rich and poor, bond and fiee. AUhough writ¬ ten, perhaps, much raoro than lifty years ago, it will be .=eon that the writer had no mean estimate of the social, doineatic, and moral position of wo¬ man ; nevertholes.s, it is quite aa evi¬ dent that he ooiiteniplaled a functional distlnctloD in the sexes, which ultra moderu reformers seem to think there Is not.
Jn the -Uh lino of tho second stanza, tho word ficlp-matc was universally used—indeed, wo do nol recollect of ever baving had heard it sung otherwise; but we have, notwitliatanding, substl- Ihe word " liclp-vicet." There is no otherbook, of equal authority, in which tho creation of man is recorded, except the Bible, and in that book it is dis¬ tinctly stated, that tho creator mado him a *' help-meet."
Wo use this as a compound word, and therefore in the singular number. Help-meet, therefore, ia an innpircd word, a word of God, whilst help mate is only illuminated—a word of roan; ooDsequeutly, there must be n distinc¬ tion in their meanings, for a woman may be a hclp-inate and not necessarily a help-meet. Indeed, in an analogous sense, onom.iy be a help-mate to an¬ other man. A help-mato only seems to involve a physical relation, whilst a help-meet involves something more, something higher—a mental, a moral, and a spiritual relation. A help-meet Implies the kind of help a man needs, In uis social, moral and spiritual regen¬ eration, and not one of merely physical or even domestic help. ^Yo venture to assert, that if every man on this earth had a belp-7ncet for liim—that is, the kind of help his social aud moral con¬ stitution requires—there would be less unliappines.s, less inlidelity, less in¬ temperance, and less debauchery, and wickedness of all kinds, in the %vorld than there ia now. Because, we sin¬ cerely believo that there is no physical force—no legal suasion, that can wield such an effective power over man, aa the moral suasion of a woman, who is his God-appointed help-meet. Shecan even exercise this power for evil, when she ceases to be his help-meet, as Eve did, after she had listened to tlie temp¬ tations of the serpent. A woman may slave herself in perpetual vesatioD of spirit, In catering for the merely phys¬ ical wants of the husband and family: she may murmuringly impose untold burdens upon herself, iu order to re¬ lieve or gratify her wayward children, and still not be the help-meet that her huaband and children require. Ali tbese things are perishable and will perish with her; for they ara the mere ad- junots of a ?ielp mate, and may effect little or nothing in building up a beau¬ tiful and orderly spiritual body, suoh as tbe angels have. Indeed, in these perishable duties, theso panderings to physical wants only, these unwise in- auigencies of her family, sha may so far sacrifice all mental and moral cul¬ ture in herself as to be unable to render moral and spiritual support to her hus¬ band and children, at the very timo when they most need them.
Woman may become an apparent help-meet for man, when through her superior tact, energy, perseverance, in- telligenon and skill, she helps him in accumulating a fortune, advances his pecuniary, aocial and political iuterests, or by temporary self denials and sacri- flccs, aids him in attaining tue ends of his merely wordly ambition; but it will become manifest to what extent she bas been ahelp mcciforhim, when their ends have been accomplished — Whether she is wise or foolish, benex'o- lent or parsimonious, prudent or profli¬ gate, economical or wasteful, charita¬ ble or grudging, social or selflsh, moral or carnal, indulgent or exacting, spir¬ itual or sensual, at such times, at sucli places, and under such circumstances, wheu those good .sttributes ought to be exercised, and the evil ones avoided ; and how far she is in unity with him lu all these things.
JVoman is the subject of our song, and we aro discussing the rela'ivo po¬ sition of womau. When we discuss man we may havo as much, and even much more to say, in respect to what Ar ought to be. AVoman'a slatus is neg¬ atively slated in tho third stanza. Uo women themselves see antl acknowl¬ edge that she was neitlier taken out of tho head nnr the feet of mnn? Some women voluntarily act as if she was taken out of the head ; and othcrsquite as voluntarily as If she was taken outof ' the feet of man. Both of these posi lions are a perversion of her true posi¬ tion—her God-appointed position—for Itwas not so " In the beginning." Wo¬ man may unwoman herself so far as to desire a position that is foreign to her sex. So may human beings walk in¬ verted on tiieir hands, or write witb tlieir feet; but these are no greater ex¬ hibitions of physical disorder than a woman's performance of tho functions ofa man are evidences of social disor¬ der. Her truo position is shadowed forth In the Inststnnza. She was taken out of his Si'rfe, which implies tliat she waa intended to be liis equal, although none tlie less his help-meet: his equal just as the eye and the ear arc equal, although functionally different. Every woman who is aljle to appreciate her mission asa helpmeet, will beable to discover this difference, nnd will con- ductherselfaccordingly. Heaven needs woman angels as well as mau angels, and these the Almighty can only re¬ cruit from among women on earth. If they cultivate and build up a masculine, moral and social manhood In this world, they will be unscxed iu tbat realm where tbe moral and social rela¬ tions of the human family exist in their pristine purity and perfection. She is neither to " triumph over man" nor to he " trampled upon" by him : let her not tramjile upon herself. They are to ba one, just ns the trunk and the branches ofa tree are one, but different in functions. Tbe mau the supporting frun/;-sometimes even a rough trunk, bnt none the worse for that if there is a sound heart within; the woman, the gentle, the beautiful, flower and fruit- bearing branches.
This aong was quite popular in East Donegal fifty years ago, and at a later dato. Although we had heard it be¬ fore, we only learned it In 1827 from a fellow-apprentice, who was as fall of song as an orange is fall of pulp, and withal was a most excellent singer.— We parted from him in 1830, and have never seen him but once since—fall thirty years ago. We wonder If he re¬ members the song, and has ever been led to reflections on it analogous to ours? Grantellus.

BEPOBTED BV J. D. PYOTT.
The Exhibition which was to have commenced on Tuesd^, on the grounds of the Agricultural Park Association waa unavoidably postiionea untU W^ed-: nesiUy inornlng on account of tbe (nr clement state of the wealher, which made It Impossiblo for eshlbltore to get their stock and goods to the ground, and also rendered the track too deep for successful trials of speed. The warm aun of Tuesday, however, remedied these evils—the track dried up flnely, and many additions were made to the Hat of entries.
There was more than twice as much stock on exhibition as at the last An¬ nual Fair, and much ofit of a very sap¬ erlor character. Among the horses was a very fine browu Hambletonian stall¬ ion colt, two years old, of beautiful build and style, entered by Mr. .1. F. Echter- uach.

THE RACES.
The announcement that there would bo a trot between a fleld of nine horses, and a running race between three oth¬ ers drew to the ground In the alternoon of Wednesday a large concourse of apec- lators. The grand stand was graced with the presence of a larger number of ladies than we recollect to havt^ aeen upon It before.
At tbo appointed time, 'Ih o'clock p. m., the gong rang lor tho "appearance of the horses, and at tho summons no leas than eight trotters stepped upon the track, a larger number lhan had ever appeared there to take part in a single race. The following horses were entered :
.Toshua McComsey enters g. b. •• Harry.'' Paris Iluldcmau Gnter.s br. m. " Juliet.'"" Peter Erb entera r. b. " Ited Squirrel." Jacob Myer entera br. h. "Bill." Win. Deitrich enters a. h. " Bushel Foot." J. M. Hess (miller) enters r. h. " Bill." Gen. Ross enters s. h. " Frank." Alj. Hiestand enters i». b. " Warsaw Ned." K. II. Kautfman euteis 1<. m. " Sallie .Swarr.''
Considerable difflculty was experi¬ enced in getting them sent off, but they finally came up in two or three rows and got tlie word "go" forthe
First Kcat.—Harry soon drew ahead of the olhers, and then Warsaw Ned followed bim, leaving the othere strug¬ gling and straggling In the rear. Harry won the heat in 2:501, Ned coming in a good second. Bushel Foot and Bill dis¬ tanced. Tho othera not placed.
At tbe conclusion of tbis lieat there was a boat of Ibe half-mile running race look place.
Second Mcat.—S'ix. horses started, but Harry and Ned again aoon took the lead, the others breaking and behaving badly. Hnrry had a little the best of the heat throughout, and crossed the score a little ahead in 2:4SJ, the others being all distanced.
Third Heat—Harry and Ned now Iiad the track to themselves. At the first attempt they got away very evenly, and kept together around the lower turn ; along the back Harry showed slightly in the lead, aud kept it until near the flnish of the half-mile, when Ned made a slurge and crossed the line a little ahead. Along the back-stretch Harry broke badly, losing several lengths, which he could not regain, and Ned cnme home a winner of the heat in 2:46. Fourth Heat.—Ned now took the pole, nnd the horses got off very evenly. Along the back-stretch Ned took the lead, but, breaking, Harrv came along¬ side of him, and stayed there, the two crossing the half-mile line neck and neck. Horry broke In going around the lower turn, but lost no distance. In going by the back-stretoh Ned also broke several times, but gained more than he lost.. Both horses turned into the home-stretch together and came down at good apeed,T)ut hefore reach¬
ing the scoiie Harry broke and crossed It on a run half a length iu the rear of Ned, who took the beat in 2:48} At the end of the heat there was consider¬ able excitement among the friends and drivers of the two horses, each party charging that the other had gained ad¬ vantages by running his horse., Tho Jadges, however, paid no attention to the complaints; and so each borse had now won two heats and the friends of each were confident of winning the next. Therewas considerable betting going on while the horses prepared for the
Fifth Ucat.—KUer one falae start the horses got away well together, Ned having a little the beat of it. Harry broke badly on the back-stretch, and lost some distance which he failed to regain in the first half-mile, Ned cross¬ ing tiie lino a full length ahead. In going up the back-stretch Harry again broke and Ned appeared to be trotting with his fore feet and hopping with his liind feet. Ho kept thelead until com¬ ing down the homo stretch, when he broke and Harry overtook him, aud tiiere was a spirited conteat forthe heat and race, and they dashed pnst the Judges' Stand side by side amid tbe cheers of the spectators, a huudred volcea called out "heat." But the Judges wlio had carefully kept their eyes on tho horses, decided that Harry hnd won the heat and the race In 2.4Si.
THE ItUKNINO KACE.
This event was a half-mile race, best 3 in 5, Lancaater county horses, for a purse of $175, ($100 to flrst horse, $50 to second, and $25 to third,) the following entries were made: Daniel Logan enters a. h.

First Hea/.—Sorrel Dan took the lead from the start and kept it thronghout tho hent, Negley coming In second and Moltke far behind. Time 54i^. *
Second Heat,—Moltke was drawn, leaving the contest between Sorrel Dan and Negley. After a few false starts they got away evenly. At the lower turn Negley attempted to bolt, ran off to the outairie of track and lost consid¬ erable distance, and Dan came home an easy winner by a dozen lengths in 53}-.
i'hird Heat.—A new rider was mount¬ ed on Negley, the boy who had pre¬ viously rode him heing unable to hold him. The new rider, however, was too heavy, weighing 135 pounds. At the flrst attempt the horses got ott' together. Dan took the lead, and although the rider of Negley used the whip through¬ out the heat, he made no show of win¬ ning, Dan taking the heat and raceun- der a pull In 57j.
This ended the racing for tlie day, and the crowd soon dispersed.

THE RACES.
At two o'clock, p. m., the hour an¬ nounced for the trials of speed to take place, the stands and the grounds around the track were crowded by a throng of spectators, numbering uot less than six thousaud ]ieople. Two races wereudvertiseii totake place—the flrst a trot for a premium of $175, for Lancaster county liorses that had uever beaten 3 minutes, best 3 in 5 In haruess. Tho second, a trot for $300, for Lancas¬ ter county horses that had never beaten 2:40, best 3 in 5 in harness.
The lieats of tbe two races were run alternately, but we will report each separately.
For the first race si.x horses were en* tered, but only four started, viz: Mr. McComaey's grey horse Harry, Mr. Clark's brown horse Jack Rodgers, Mr. Hiestaud's bay horse Warsaw Ned, and Mr. Kauffman's bay mare Sallie Swnrr.
First Heat.—After two or threo fail¬ ures to get awa3', the word was givon, with Ned Inside, Sallie next, Jack third and Harry on the outside. Ned soon drew to the front, with Harr.v in hot chase. At the hnlf-mile polo Ned waa a length to tho front, Harry second, Sally a number of lengths beliind, and Jack still further in the rear. The last half mile was ruu without materiai change, and- Ned ero.s.scd the score two orthree lengths uliend of Harr3', Sal¬ lie some distance behind, and Jack dis¬ tanced. Time. 2:12^.
Second Uenl.—Tlie horses got offat the .second atlempt, Ned ieniling, and Harry closing up, Sally lagging behind. Tho half mile was llnlshed with Ned a length in the lead, Harry second, and Sallie several lengths behind. Those positions were not much changed du¬ ring the last half mile, Ned takiug tho heat by a short length, in 2:42J.
Third Heat.—HotHCH off nt lirst at¬ tempt, Ned slightly leadiug. Bolh horses drew away from the mare, and trotted elose together during tlie entire half miie, crossing the line neek nnd neck. During tho second half mile Ned broke badly several times, makiug a number of awkward jumps, but losing little or nothing by them. On entering tlie home-stretch he was a full length ahead; lost distance, Harry closing on him, and at length passing him, winning the lieat by half a leugth in 2:44.j. Sallie almoat distanced.
Fourth Heat.—Around the lower turn nnd along the buck-stretch Harry led, Ned breaking before reaching the up¬ per turn, but as usual gaining by it. At tlie upper end Harry also broke and lost a length or two. The half mile wus completed with Ned three lengths ahead. Aloug the back-stretch he did some more fancy jumping, and Harry passed him and ekpt the lead to lho close, passing the score two lengths ahead of Ned and several hiore in ad¬ vance of .Sallie. Time, 2:48*. During thia heat all three of the horses broke frequently and run a great deal too much.
Fifth ncat—lXei\ a little ahead at tile start—both together along the back- stretch—Harry ahead along upper end —half-length ahead at half-mile score— Ned caught up and took lead on baek- atretch, along which he broke and run —at upper turn Harry followed smart, but did not catch u\i—down home- atretsii Harry trotted splendidly and gained rapidly, Ned making several ugly hops, and crossing the score a short length ahead In 2;&, Sallie being I nowhere.
The j udgea gave'the heai ini the race to Harry, on account of Ned's frequent eccentricities in the'way of imoving his

FEIDAY'S ESHIEITIOS.
On Friday morning at an early hour the country folks began to come into the city in great numbers. By ten o'clock many hundreds of carriages ranged along the curbs of the different hotels. Brawny lads and bonnie lasses from the rural districts promenaded the streets chatting gleefully. Tho staid farmers with stalwart frames el¬ bowed their way through the crowd with sturdy independence. All day the Fair grounds were crowded by a great concourse of people, who looked with mnch interest upon the various objects so tastefully displayed. When tho races began iu the afternoon the grand stand presented a very animated and attractive appearance. It was crowded with ladies arrayed in bright colora all busilj' talking to their com¬ panions. The railing outside the track was liued with a struggling and eager hiass of sight-seera. As a favorite horse gained advantage the crowd cheered lustly, and the preference thua exhibit¬ ed snowed that they were just in their judgment and anxious that the beat animal should win. All seemed to en¬ joy the occasion highly, nnd it Is safe to predict that in couiing yeara the exhi¬ bitions of the Association will annu¬ ally be looked forward to with eager interest by the mass of onr people and liberally patronized. The receipts du¬ ring the day from tickets of entrance amounted to fifteen hundred dollars, and the crowd on the grounds could not have numbcrod less than six thousand.
We continue our comments on arti¬ clea on exhibition:
In the department allotted to fine arts, musical Instruments, textile fab¬ rics, needle, leather, and hair work, the display waa very creditable.
On entering the room the attontion of tha visitor was at once arrested by the fine display of fur goods, made by Mr. Frederick J. Scheuing, the most prominent article exhibited b.v him be¬ ing the Immense polar bear skin cap¬ tured during Hall's expeditiou in search of Sir John Frankiin.
The musical instruments exhibited by Steinhauser & Brother, were of a very superior quality. They consist of a fine patent Arlou piano, tliree of Shoninger'a Eureka organa, a melodeon and a harp.
Esther A. Best exhibited a very beau¬ tiful wax wreath, encased in a deep oval frame; Mrs. E. H. Brown au elegant wax harp; George Lutz a vase of wax flowers, and Mrs. Woifersber- ger a frame of wax flowers.
Mrs. W. L. Peiper, Mrs. M. Ehler, Mra. S. P. Eiiy, aud Miss Sue C. Fr.v zer exhibited some elegant sofa cush¬ ions.
Miss Leah Balmer also exhibited one zephyr and bead-work sofa cushion, four beautiful pin-cuslilons and a few samples of needle work.
M iss Lottie Balmer exh ibi led a liaiid- some tide and toilet set.
Mrs. .S. Eby exhibited a variety of lineu, thread and woolen yarn spun by herself, and several sheets, blankets and coverlets made from the same. She also exhibited a beautiful patch¬ work quilt.
Jlrs. Heury Widmyer, Mrs. Eliza Harman, Jlrs. George W. Engle, Mra. E. Spurrier, Mrs. L. Peiper, Mrs. S. B. Everts, Mra. Georgo Calder, sr., Mra. Cyrus B. Porter and othera diaplayed a nuniber of silk and muslin patch-work quilts, and iHrs. John Simpson an al¬ bum quilt.
Quilo a number of beautiful al'ghaus wero on exhibition prominent among which were thoae of Mrs. Strickler Everts, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Sue C. Fra¬ zer, Maggie Dougherty, and Kate Filz¬ patrick.
Anne M. Deaner sliowed a flne vari¬ ety of bead and crochet work, and samples of fine embroidery.
Mrs. D. R. Ehler had ou exhibition a beautiful, largo, while counterpane, and Philip Shu ma variety of coverlets.
Mrs. C. Gunlon exhibited a uumber of elegantly worlsed uight-gowu and chemise yokes.
Miss .Sue Himes a wreath aud boquet composed of hair, and Mrs. H. L. Zahm a beautiful vase of (lowers.
lira. E. J. Henry cxhibted an old looking glass purchased in 1740 by Wm. Lightuer, her great-grandfather.
In tho house-keepiug department, in addition to articles heretofore mention ed, Mrs. C. B Moore, Mrs. Amos K. Bowers, Mrs. S- Himes, Mrs. Martha J. Leachy, Mrs. Amanda Rohrer, Mrs. Margaret Heed and E. J. Barr exhibited each some very flne samples of bread, rusk, cakes, doughnuts, crullei's, &o.
A nuinber of ladles exhibited very choice samples of Lancaster county butter.
Hundredsof articles of merit wereon exhibition which It is impossible in our limited space oven to notice. Suffice it to say that all tbe the articles on exhi¬ bition reflected taste on tha enterprise, taste. Judgement, or skill of the differ¬ ent exhibitors, and the Fair as a whole wns a decided success.
THE BACKS.
The grand stand, the open stand, and the grounds were again thronged in the afternoon to witness the races advertised to take plnce.
The flrst was a running race for a premium of $400, open to all horses. To carry weight for age. Mile heats, best 3 In 5. For this premium the celebra¬ ted horses Jerrold, Boaster and En¬ chantress contended.
First Heat,—Boaaler won the inside. Enchantress second place, and Jerrold ouUide. At tha third trial they got away well together but Jerrold soon fell behind. There was not much change in position durlngthe half-mile. Boaster passing tha pole first, Euchantrcsa aecond and Jerrold some distance be¬ hind. On the th ird quarter Jerrold be¬ gan to pull up and collared tha othera at the upper turn, and crossed the score a length ahead of Boaster and three lengths ahead of Enchantress, in 1.601.
Second Beat,—"Sha horses got off well together and kept together
throughout the first half-mile passing the pole neck and neck. Ou the back- stretch Enchantress lost distance, and the others ran together until coming down the homestretch when Jerrold pushed to the front and took tho lead by a short length la l:50j—Enchantress four lengths behind.
¦Third Heat,—%ome difflculty was ex¬ perienced in starting the horses. Boas¬ ter insisting on leading off. At last they got away, and kept together dur¬ ing the first quarter, when Enchant¬ ress again fell away. At the half-mile pole Jerrold and Boaster wero together, and in going up the backstretch Boas¬ ter was a full neck ahead and Enchant¬ ress half a dozen lengths behind. On entering the homestretch Jerrold seem¬ ed to have a very little tbe best of it. The rider of Boaster freely used the whip but failed to come up, Jerrold taking tha heat hy a neck, in 1:61.
There was a good deal of growling among the betters, many believing that Boaster had been ridden to lose. The time was complained of, ns not¬ withstanding tho excellent condition of tho track, the raco was some flve sec¬ onds slower than it was in June last, between tho same horses, when tho track was comparatively heavy. In explanation tho owner of Boaster said his horse was lame, and wanted tu draw him after tlie first heat, but ns the Judges said they would havo to de¬ cide the horso disturbance if he was drawn, the race went on as bofore.
The following is a summary:
Lancaster Agricultural Park, Oct. 7. 1870. Running Premium ?400 (230 to flret, $100 to second and S50 to third horse.) Open toall horses—weight for age. Ona mile—best 3 in 5. John West enters bl. b. Jerrold-11 i. John Bonghram enters ch. s. Boaster—2 2 2. Geo. .Scheuc'li enters s. m. Knrhantress—

First Heai.—hhvi tiiree attempts they got away, Ned a little in tiie lead, wbicli he kept to tbe half miie pole, at the third quarter they were neck and neck, and Ned passed the .score, a short neek ahead in 2:41i. Frauk was outfooted and drawn. The Judges de¬ cided tliat the heat should begiveu to Harry on account of Ned's frequent running and the unfairuess ofhis gait, and warned his driver not t.o repeat the tactics heretofore used to make liini win, or he would be ruled off.
Second Heal.—Harry took the lead at tbe lower turn and kept it ihrougli¬ out the race, the driver of Ned appar¬ ently afraid to pusii his horse for fear of getting bim into his half-trotting and lialf-running gait. Harry wou easily in 2:58.
I'hird i/ca<.—Harry took tlio lead and kept It througliout, Nedexhibitiug a uumber of hia fancy iiop-skip-aiid- Jump tricks. Harry crossed the score In a Jog trot In 2:55.

A STOEY FOE THE UTILE FOLKS.
THE LITTLE SE.\MSTUE3S.
On the eastern coast of England, (whiuli is almost an island, and lias, therefore, a great oxtentof coast,) lliero stretohea out into tho beautiful North Sea a narrow strip of laud, rioh iu veg¬ etation, and covered in summer with the delicate and gorgeous bluum of a great variety of wild flowers, aud the tangled masses of trailing vines. The tali reeds out in the water bent loving¬ ly over it, refiectiug their graceful forma in this puro mirror, for tbe sea is clear and blue, ihough many of the rt vers of England are turbid aud yellow, The grass here gr>>ws rank, tall, and green ; and when a soft wind fans it gently, it looks liko a wonderful eme¬ rald sea, with tiny ripples breaking over it. But beware how you confide iu Its alluring beauty, for if you liope to walk upon it, out to the reeds beyond you are more than likely lo siulc Into tbe porous earth, aud maj' not get back to the substantial meadow iu tlio back grouud wilhout great trouble!
The prettiest, greenest moss is to be found lieie; the treea are covered with it, and the gay-colored vines cling to the brauches, mailing them look, in un au¬ tumn sunset, like noble old caatle: crowded together, witli bright lighta in the windows, an'! ivy growing thickly over all.
But the waves come up through tbe swaying reeds; uji over the waving, treaclierous grass; up over the flowoi'- ing mosses and tangled vines; laving tile feet of tho nearest trees, nnd keep¬ ing everylhing moist, but luxurious, half tho "long year.
Overall this autumn beauty, in the autumn stillness, and floating iikea fairy in the soft, iiumid uir, while carol iug a liappy, tuneful lay, comesabusy little seamstress to her day's work. Her attire ia of modest, demure brown; but slie bustles aliout in a quick, eiiergelie way, with her head o-j oue aide, wijlle her restless, inquiHitivo eye Holes all thecbanges which have take piacesince aiie was here in the early spriug. She observes keenly that the old oak, over there in the glade, wears a new head¬ dress; and sbo laughs to see how the young mistletoe haa been making love to him ! But being an industrious little body, she soon sets hersif to work. Goiug to a greatclusterofbrown leaves, under the shadow of a willow tree, she brings out iu her mouth a slender thread.
" What will she do now?"
Ahi she will sew together some bright green leaves which hang from the low branch of an alder bush When, after a timo, her thread is out whero do you suppose she goes for another supply? She skips aliout among the tall flags, lu nnd out through tbe sedge by the shore, and in a few mo¬ ments is back again, wilh a spider's web in her mouth. You will say tbis must be. Indeed, a dainty seamstress, who can sew witli a spider web I Ab ! so she is; and while she thus merrily Btitohes and sings, d.iy after day, from sunrise to sunset, a week glides by. When at last the final stitch is taken, and all is finished, what dn think has been made? A dress? No. A coat "J No. A suit of clothes? No. Towels? No. 'lable linen? No. Any .trtieleof dress ? No. All I you must give it up, for It is a house! Yea, a complete dwelling; and to see the little seam¬ stress now, as she goes about to seek furniture for ber new abode, would scarcely remind you of the pretty, brown-suited ladies who go shopping ou Lake street. But tliat she pleases herself quite as readily as tbey, it is not hnznrdous to hope—selecting tlio very heart of an ugly, thorny plant, as life sole embellishment for the complete conifort of her new dwelling. And I may assure you her abode is now lux¬ urious, for what eould be softer than thistle down.
From the very beginning, the happy husband of the llttie seamstress (he is a tailor) has been near her, laboring contentedly beside her, though his forta does not seem to be so much in the architectural line as hers; and he
sometimes stcalsaway to singand bathe, while she is ot work. But we will not condemn him for this, as he has many noble qualities. He is an excellent commissary and soon has an opportun¬ ily of proving this fact. They are, too, a very contented, happy couple, though occupying a humble station. Happi- nesss does not belong alone to tbe rich or the great, and of tills truth the little talloraodseamstress are flt illustrations. As usual, the wife assumes her hus¬ band's name, and thus both are known as the "Tailor Birds."
After a time, several tiny seamstress¬ es and tailors come out of the eggs that have so long rested ou the soft thistle down, and begin to gaze upou the great, wide world, and wonderful, bluo sea. Then how the little husband and fath¬ er files about! Not a worm or insect in their nelgiiborhood escapes his eye. Of course, with such care, the little family soon grows large enough to ex¬ plore the suriounding country, aud in a few weeks go out into the world on theirown account.
When the autunin air beeomcs cold, and the littlo brown dresses and jack¬ ets are not warm enough, the wholo family fiy across the sea to tlie sunny climalo of France, wiiore they spend tho winter. But In April they come back to build their nest in some reedy marsi), warbling some sweet love sto¬ ries lo the sedges on tho bank, and fanned by the fragrant air of their own dear native England.—iiWc Corporal.
