Who shall tell my love I love her?
Such sweet song
Aneel lips nre chflni.'uiR over
This new snint amid Uieir threim;
Scarcely w.U th"y chanue their strain
Couutinp human love so vain.
Who shall tell my love I love her ?
Shall the lark,
Startlno from liistRraa'y cover

friay : mine own son-i soars as hifrh
A the brown lark's minstrelsy.
Who shall tell my love I lovelier?
Shall the breeze?
That most sweet but thriftless rover,
Doe3 It stir the living trees?
Can my mesa"e thus bo given ?
Nay, the breeze blows under heaven.
Who bhall tell triy love I love her ?
Hlia.l not I ?
When life's fever-sleep is over,
And my soul's glad open eve.
Darts Through, blue and amber space
Searching looks for her dear face ?
1 shall tell my love I love her
Very soon
Human words do more may move her,

Sonssoi love as hie h and sweet,
Soups ot love as pure and meet,
As anifPls' own, her ears to greet
1 shall tell my love I love her.
HE GREAT FAIR 0 NtJNI NOVGOROD.
analated from the German Illustrated Gazette.
In an immense, almost entirely flat country,
ke Russia, the trallic by land must be ot lm-
ense Importance. Almost all the Internal
ade is carried on by land; besides which the
issiau Empire entertains a very active coni-
unication with Asia by means of caravans,
lich bring the products of China and the East
lies. The inland trade) in the South is
lefly effected by means of wagoug, which,
awn by oxen, are seen slowly moving across
steppes throughout summer and winter,
e difliculties ot the river navigation are the
3on that products and merchandise are
ostly brought in this manner to Odessa,
though the land route, on accountof the heavy
iow storms in winter, is not without danger,
(.'enerally, intercourse in Russia takes place
iring the winter season by means of sleighs.
boon as the winter has spread a hard,
nooih surface ot snow over the plains, the
eighs rush with whirling rapidity over lakes,
veis, and motasses, always in aireci lines,
ilhout the least reeard to the regular roads.
hus in Archangel duilng the winter are seen
ousHUds of Meigbs from oil portious of the
niptre, bnueing to mat city eiderdowns,

yited by sea during the summer seaseu; by
le same conveyance the t'overnment in St.
tersburg receives the costly product or the
ines of the Ural Mountains. Ot great import
ice to the inland trade aro the rivers, most of
hich are navigable at least during a part of
fie year. The Volga in particular is covered
itti an Kinds ot cratt. rue long interruption
It river navigation during the wiuter is, how
.er. a very great drawback; besides which
Ye outlets of many of the rivers, like thoe of
e Dnieper and Doe, are obstructed by sand,
like that ot the Hug, Duna, and fllcmel, reti
red unnavieable in their lower course by
)Cks. In connection with the rivers the canals
ust be mentioned. There is perhaps no
her country where so many canals have been
nstructcd as lu Russia.
Three canals connect the ri-vprs of Nova and
olga, of which oue is the gigantic work ot
eter the Great, rue obstacles, caused nere
md there by the insullicient supply ef water,
ave been removed witu aannraDie industry.
Is soon as a fleet ot merchant ships approaches
Sie administration ot the canals eives notice by
leans ot the telearraph, and witbin an mcredi-
ly short time the basins are failed to their ut-
Jiost capacity by ir.eaus ot flood gates. In a
ountry where the internal trade is of such
romincnt importance, tairs must ot necessity
flay a greai part. The dillerent lairs which
lake place in liunsia are far more important,
na have an mtireiv aiiiereut origin ironi inoae
which still exist in other countries. The latter.
lor the most part, date from niedueval times, and
re based ou what are caned tair privileges,
Vhich were granted to certain localities, and
ur C.xea periods, in oraer 10 giveio purcnasers
onie protection anainst the encroachments of
he home merchants, and to enliven commerce
y competition.
In the interior of Russia, where the restric
ions and other impediments to free trade
auseJ by the privileges of guilds, never existed,
md where whoever is once settled in the
Wmpire has the right to carry on whatever
lusiness or trade he may judge proper, such
Isylums ot commerce, like the regular lairs in
he cities of the continent, were not necessary,
and the large assemblies ot merchants were
isuaiiy causeu oy large concourse 01 Olivers.
Mlgrimages, on certain holidays, to celebrated
oinbs or images ot saints, quite naturally
brought together pilgrims and merchants. The

ales encouraced trades people,to repair to such
laces. Thus, beside the original pilgrims,
kere soon cougregatad a large number of other
eoyle, led by the desire to improve the oppor
unity offered, and if the political and geogra
phical conditions were favorable, often an ini-
Lortaut fair was thus established, which made
people entirely forget the original religious pur
pose which had originallv led to their assem-
fuliner. This was the origin of the great fairs
Jof ltomni, Makariew, Kursis, Charkow and
ioine others.
The celebrate 1 fairs of Europe, such as thoe
!of Loipsic and Frankfort, in (lermany, Novi
md Civitt vecchia, in Italy, Lyons and St.
Etienne, in France, and several others which
were founded on mediu-val wants, have become
Jin our times when most of the restrictions oi'
commercial intrcourse, and particularly the
privileges and mnnuuities of cities aud towns,
have been abolished of greatly loss import
ance; ana in an prooaouuy, irom tne general
adoption of the principles of free trade by the
Drlncinai wiate or curope, mey win granuany
entirely disappear, becauseon account of the ex-
Eeuse and 1 lie distance wuien doiii sellers and
avers are obliged to make to reach them, they
are no longer the most natural and cheapest
mode of exchanging products and commodities.
But in Kussia, where customs and habits are
entirely dillerent, commission business is as yet
very little developed, andyconsequeutly buyers
and sellers are obliged to meet each other per
sonally, especially as a ortuin nomadic ele
ment still uervades the commercial relations of
the country, many of the merchants havinar no
settled estabiisomeuts, out move witn tueir
stock of merchandise from one place to another.
Iu liuBsla there is no posiointy or a generul
correspondence between the numerous popula
tions ot various origin which occupy its ex
tensive territory. Consequently, mauy atlaiis
which in other countries are treated by corres
pondence, mr.st be managed there orally by
the perfonal meeting of thu parties, so thfct
the fairs are Lot only in a highly flourishing
condition, but with the increasing development
of commerce they are likely to become every
year more important and more extensive.
Among the various large fain of Russia. tliB
oldest mid most celebrated is that of Nijnl
Novgorod, or of Makarien, us it is still called by
the Russian merchants, aft"r its former seat.
It is, without any doubt, the laivest fair in
Enrope, and probably in the world at least
In renard to the amount of merchandise aud
the number ot people who congregate there from
all parts of Eastern Europe anil Western Asia,
purine the months of July and August, ut least
300.HO0 people visit the fair. ' The whole sur
reiiudiiiif country is covered with booths.
f Kvrry cl's of tnen-hiiti.li.sP, surli m dry co.ls,
', furs, leather, objects ol metal, china, woolen
and earthen waie, eatables, et-., occupy a sepa
rate place or booth. The booths which are
destined for the leetption ol merchandise ore
constructed of wood or of stone; the latter re
main through the wlmlc year.
Those constructed of wood i land in the public
sq-mres, and are verysoacious; licsi les the store
rooms, thev Usually contain smaller ones, des
tined for the despatching of busines-, and in the
background are places for wagons, boxes, and
other uion-tK
As has already been observed, in all the Ru
Man fairs racn kind of eoorts is placd in differ
ent rows of hooiba which, according to the mer
chandise they contain, are called the "Max," or
"ironware," or "glassware" booths; some bear
the names of the nationalities to which the mer
chants belong, as, forinstaticp, the "Armenian."
the "(ireek' booths, etc.
Certain sorts ol merchandise are brought to
the fair and exhibited in sleighs, so that whole
rows of them are seen ranged in order, the
tinders sitting on them and .doing busiuess
without even being protected b tents or awn
ings against the inclemency of the weatlier.
Among the merchandise of a Russian fair
there arc niBny articles peculiarly Russian, aud
unknown in other countries; some of them,
which nre found in the other European mar
kets in small quantity, are hero stored up in
immense masses to supply the wants of the
Eastern populations, while generally good are
nssottpd on-na entirely dillerent system from
that usual In other countries; the way of pack
ing, exhibiting, and storing away the wares is
also quiie peculiar.
It is extremely iiiteresting even for the mere
spectator to walk about in this immense empo
rium, w here buyers and sellers resort from all
puits of Russia, and from many distant regions
of Europe and Asia, to observe the variegated
dresses of so many uations, their different Ian
puiijes, and various customs and hnblts. No
stranger will leave the celebrated fairofNijni
Novgorod without conceiving great respect of
the extensive comniprse of Kussia, which,
under the enlightened; government of the pre
sent Emperor is every year increasing more aud
more.
Art'ldeuta of Speech.
Pat has long labored under the imputation of
making more "accidents" with the tongue than
any ot his lellow-mortals, but it can be verv
readily shown that the "bull" is not necessarily
indigenous to Irihh soil.
A Frenchman named Calion, who died lu

P. 8. Never mind sending the knife; I have
found it."
There is a note to his wife, which he sent
home with a basket ol provisions; the postscript
to Viliich read: "You will And my letter at the
bottom of the basket. If you snould fail to do
so, let mo know as soon as possible."
It Is said of this same character that on one
occasion he took a lighted laper to find his

getting down brought it hack- with thanks,

A Western editor once wrote: "A corres

A Maine editor says a pumpkin in that State

ot the hoosicr who saw a Hock of inueons fly so
low that he could shake a stick at them.
