Fairs in England.

It is wonderful how completely the
old English fair has disappeared. Every
year the characteristics of "merrie Eng
land become more and more historical.
At EPSON races there are no more side
shows, no speckled boys, no fat women,
no dwarfs, giants, or living skeletons.
The Richardson show is gone. The in
creasing crowds of people amuse them
selves with plenteous potations of beer,
throwing sticks at cocoanuts, and shoot
ing from toy guns at targets. 1t is the
same at fairs even at Coventry Fair
there is almost nothing of the old time.
Lady Godiva is forbidden to lead her
procession through the town, however
thickly clad. The old Shrewsbury show
occasionally appears, but only as ghost
of its former self. The Lord Mayors
show holds out longest, but it is sad
spectacle. Probably George Stephenson
is responsible for this hiding away of
the fairies that used to dance and sing.
The railways have let in too much light
on their solitudes. The fragments Of
that strange past, picked up and set
APPLYING like puppets at Albert Hall,
were amusing, but there was a sad side
to them. Human nature devours its
own children, and sometimes plays with
their bones.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN wrote in 1887 to
Mary Owens, who declined his offer of
marriage, letter lately printed for the
first time. "What l wish" he says.
sis that our further acquaintance shall
depend on yourself. If such further ac-
quaintance would contribute nothing TO
your happiness am sure it would not
to mine. If you feel yourself in any de-
gree bound to me, am now willing to
release you, provided you wish it; while
on the other hand 1 am willing, and
even anxious, to bind you faster if 1 can
be convinced that it will, in any consid-
cradle degree, add to your happiness.
This, indeed, is the whole question with
me. Nothing would make me more
miserable than TO believe you miserable
nothing more happy than to know
You were so.' Aif ffI Iff.
