THE OLD MAN AT THE FAIR.

Pm very dusty aud tired, wife I've just come
home from The Fair;
So give me my pipe and tobacco, and III
smoke in my easy chair
It's tresome work playin for feeble old
men like ne;
It's tiresome work a seem where every one
wishes to see.
Our Fairs are runnin' down. they are not
like the Fairs Of old
Where you took the prizes for bread, and but
Ter as yellow as gold
There was hundreds of useful things, that
were well worth seem then,
Now dozens of racin horses, and hundreds of
bettin' men.
What all this sportin will come TO- is more
than now can tell;
But, somehow, il seems TO me like the down
ward road 10 h--well.
| may he little harsh, but IN speaking the
simple truth,
For bettin', racin' and drnkin, are the foes of
our noble youth.
We shall come to a nation of gamblers, if
matters keep on this way;
Why, what do you think ? n youngster accused
me of bellin' to-day;
When laid my hand GU the head-that hash [
seen ten years yet
And called him fine little felow-he an
swered me back, . You betl'
''Tut tut little man. said I, 'that thing
! have never done;
Come stand By grandpa's kee-let me reason

look so queer,

I'm old, and IN gctlin' blind, but differ

1Twixt the boys of eighteen hundred and eigh
teen hundred and seycnty-three.
How is it about the girls? They, too, from
the path have strayed
! didn't see one a shown the butter her hands
had made,
They stood in their pony phaetons, with u
woman ense and grace;
And shouted as loud as any when lavorite

All eyes were watching the track the race
was every mans theme
And said to myself lis this Fair, or is it
only dream r.
| saw bout dozen boys ookin round at the
sheep and swine,
And the irosts OF seventy winters had sivered
their heads like mine.
| Why on earth don't they change the name
when the wrong name it has got?
| No longer call it Fair, but an Agricultural
Trot;
! Then men won be takin' things for sensible
folks to see,
With nobody there to see EN- but crippled old
folks like me.
There, take my pipe and tobacco l'l sleep IN
I my easy chair;
It's tiresome work talkin' about degener-
ate Fair.
You needn't disturb me, wife, till the bells OF
the evening chime,
For may 90 back in my dreams to the Fairs

Letter from Germany.

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY.
Mr.. Editor Why should not you
have "a Correspondent in Europe?' The
idea Of offering myself as one, was sug
guested to me as we were rolling smooth
ly in coach over the splendid roads Of
rugged Scotland. Recolecting that the
last time | visited your town was in
order to attend Mr.. A. b. Davis meet
ing, called for the purpose Of improving
the roads Of Montgomery, | thought
that view Of the same subject taken
from distance might be useful, if not
entertaining. What confirmation Of
the ideas of that faithful advocate Of the
one great improvement in which we are
so much behind the old world is afforded
to every traveller in these foreign lands !

seventy Americans, representing seven
teen States, there are eight persons from
Maryland and we are all painfully re
minded by contrast of our deficiencies in
this important branch of civilization -
happily for our patriotic feelings, we
meet with other cases where there is a
glaring contrast in our favor Bat, in
regard to roads, there is really no justi-
ication for our supineness, either in the
tbinness Of our population, or its power
ty. Scotland is about three times the
size Of Maryland, and has but little
more than a proportionate wealth and
population--so that our capabilities, to

to be taken into account.
l fear your readers will think 'the
European Correspondent" dwells too long
on dry subjects. For the benefit Of those
among them who may be tempted to cross
the Atlantic ferry. must say something
in regard to our way of travelling. Our
party is under the guidance Of Thomas
Cook, of London, who has been engaged,
very successfully, for many years in the
Tourist business, sending out parties to
all quarters Of the world, and sometimes
clear around it. His business in this
way is immense. and there is general
agreement that he richly merits, the sue
cess his novel enterprise has met with.
In the engagement we made with him at
starting, there were certain routes offered
to us, with certain advantages; and we
agree in saying that Mr. Cook has hand
somely fulfilled all his promises to con-
duct us, on moderate terms, through a
delightful region, omprising the choicest
spots in Europe, to give us transportation
in the best conveyance and entertain
ment at frst-class hotels, al the same
time relieving US Of III trouble about
luggage, about the payment Of hotel

A queer case recently came up before
Des Moincs court 1t appears that an
inebriated individual went into drug
store and called for glass Of soda water.
In going out he staggered against pane
of French-plate glass, shivering it to
atoms Two clerks pursued him and de-
handed that he make good the loss. He
protested his inability to pay, when the
clerks went through him, and finding
Il $500 bill, deducted the price of the
glass and stuffed the change in his pock-
ct. Subsequently it was discovered that
the bill was counterfeit. Search was at
once instituted for the drunken fellow,
who when found, was brought before
the bar of justice and charged with pass
ing counterfeit money. The prisoner
urged that be was guitless Of any crime;
that the counterfeit money happened to
be in bis pocket at the time Of the ac-
cidcnt, and that it was taken from him by
force. The court accepted the plea and
dismissed the case.
