THE CHRISTIAN WIDOW.

Writing of the humours of a country charity fair in the "Pall Mall Maga- , - zinc," Mr. S. L. Bensusan says: "I remember how, in the year when fire- -, works w«re first introduced here, old Widow Parrott left the fair in anger ' after demanding her entrance-money , -from the clergyman, on the ground , that such an exhibition was not Christian and that she was. The reverend gentleman, feeling rather distressed, paid the entrance fee he had not received, and the old Christian lady stood in the middle of tho road and watched the rest of the display from . there, with clear conscience and replenished purse."
