| Tickets 80 cents. Well if Col. Lent will afford
me half the fun I used to get out of circus

his tickets and then I'd go him something bet

wonder if these fellows do 80 now. Then
they sent the Paste Brigade ahead with four
spanking horses and an elegant cart, which
would drive up to the tavern door with slam
bang and demand the best the house afforded.
And how we boys stood with mouth and eyes
open studying the pictures as they were unrol-
led on the bar room walls and the stable door.
They were the incest works of art that ever
were produced, and were criticised and specu-
latedon by boys and girls, and the deacons and
church-members who held that the circus was
the chief work of the devil always had some er-

they never looked at the pictures because
twas sinful. And the cavalcade was escorted
into town by regiment of boys and girls, who
drank in every note of the band, and admir-
ed the horses and wondered where all
the good clothes came from, and envied
the happiness of the raggedest and dirt

body came to town then, if it was the best hay

baby in foot-blankets; and such confusion!

The hard earned and carefully boarded pennies
were counted over several times to see if there
was enough of them to balance the cost of the
ticket. The show! oh, nay! Fairy land could
not be so amazing! and the sides of the canvas
dropped amid the regrets of,the crowd that the
performance was so short; and the names of

If not food for thought, material for talk with
Young America for twelvemonth. So all my
boys are going to see Lent tomorrow, if they
go barefoot, and they expect to see all their
aunts and uncles and cousins there, and every
body will laugh at the humor of the clown, and
cape with wonder at the performances of the
trained horses, the men who were apparently
born without any back bones, the tumblers, the
leapers, the famous riders, and the lovely wo-
men in short petticoats who jump in and
through balloons, and realize the story of Jack

THE FERRY BEACH. The new house re-
Gently erected by Messrs. Moulton & Clark at
the Ferry Beach in Saco, is now nearly ready
for the reception of summer travel. Its enter
prising proprietors have been most fortunate
in the selectiOnof its location. 1t is situated
upon an eminence about midway of the inden-
tatiOn known among our fishermen as ''The
Bay" and at the terminus of shaded and
pleasant road which furnishes a short and
agreeable drive from the business portion of the
city. The house is four stories high and calcu-
lated from the size and airiness of its rooms to
accommodate its hundred guests with a greater
degree of comfort than is generally experienced
in the cramped and heated chambers of our
seaside houses while from each one of the
rooms that are intended for the occupation of
guests can be had such a view of the bay and
ocean beyond as toe render highly appropri-
ate the name which has cen conferred upon it,
that of the Bay View House. Nearly in front
is Eagle Island, Or as it is called by the fisher
men in their homely but perhaps more apt no.
