The Circus.

lrTonl SaCoruay fteVIeWI
 All healthy boys intend to be clowns when they grow up Wishing to be clown is phase through which must pass every boy who is boy truly, and not young lady in disguise. In Great Britain the clown whom the boy desires to be like is the clown in the Christmas pantomime, the parti-colored per son who practices certain merry jests in ac- tion-buttering the slide, for instance, and playing with the rsd-hot poker. In the United States the clown to whom the boy looks up with amazement and delight is the clown in the circus; for as America is land given oyer to Democrats and Republi- cans and other irreverent persons, the due and proper observance of the sacred feast of the Christmas pantomime has been allowed to die out. For this negligence the Ameri- cans have received deserved and awful unishment-surely there is no need for us to dwell on the painful picture or to point out the manifest and immense inferiority of the circus clown to the true pantomime clown. Thus it happens that the American boy has at best but stunted ideal. Yet the circus clown and separated from any crush ing comparison with thepantomime clo VII. is most interesting character; and the circus it. self is fertile field for study to the observer of human nature. The circus, as we find it in walled towns like Paris and Prague, is picturesque enough; but it is not as romantic by half as the wandering circus which leads life of adventurous vagabondage along the kings highway. The Cirque d'Ete on 8 fashionable Sunday night in the height of the Psrisian season, and the hippodrome on Sunday afternoon when it's rising benches are filled, tier on tier, with happy children, are spots on which the philosopher reflects with amusement; but they are not as joyful or as comforting the little ring beneath the smoky canvas of the equestrian strollers who are wont "to fold their tents, like the Arabs, and as silently steal away"
