The author says: Henry VIII was a noted observer of the custom of keeping fools. Will Som- mers, or Somers, was the best beloved of all the number. He is fully described in ‘‘A Nest of Ninnies,’’ a quaint little book published in 1508, by Robert An. min, who bad the bonor of being ai) original performer in many of Shakes- peare’s plays. Will Sommers, born tn Shropshire, as some say, Was brought to Greenwich on a holy day, Presented to the king, which foole disdained To shake him by the hand, or else asham'd. Howe’er it was, an ancient people say, With much adoe was wonne to it that day. Leane he was, hollow eyde, as all report, And stoop he did too. Yet ia all the court Few men were more belov'd than was thig foole, Whose merry prate kept with the king muc» rule. When he was sad, the king and he would rime: Thus Will exiled sadness many a time. The king would ever grant when he would crave, For well he knew Will no exacting knaye, But wisht the king to doe good deeds great store, Which caus'd the court to love him more and more. One of the good deeds that are credit- ed to Sommers was done just before the king’s death, and in favor of Sommers’ old master, Richard Farmor of North- amptonshire. Farmor had been found guilty of an offense against the king, although his deed was what we should consider an act of charity. To punish the offender Henry seized his property, reducing him to great distress. “he case touched Sommers’ sympathy, an in the king’s last illness he influencec. him to restore to Farmor what was left of his estate. Round Thackeray's Grave. Grouped round the grave of Thack- eray were many names distinguished in literature, art or the drama. Anthony Trollope, the novelist; Mark Lemon, then editor of Punch; Georgs Henry Lewes, philosopher and critic; Sir The- odore Martin, Isaac Butt, the predeces- sor of Parnell; Sir W. H. Russell, The ‘Simes’ war correspondent; Sir John Millais, Shirley Brooks, afterward Lemon’s successor in The Punch editor- ship; Miss Braddon, who had but re- cently disclosed ‘‘Lady Audley’s Se- cret;’’ Charles Mathews, the actor; Henry Cole, C. B., of the first exhibi- tion fame; Tom Taylor, afterward the successor of Brooks in The Punch edi- torship; John Hollingshead, not then, I fancy, flickering round ‘‘the sacred lamp of burlesque;’’ Creswick, the Roy- al academician; Robert Browning and many others of more or less celebrity were there. Charles Dickens stood beside Brown- ing, and many besides myself gazed with interest at the keen looking, hand- some, starry eyed writer. Dickens was not in mourning and was wearing trousers of a check pattern, a waistcoat of some colored plaid, and an open frock coaf. He seemed larger in stature and more robust than I had ever before no- ticed him. Most of those whose names are mentioned as assembled to pay the last tribute to Thackeray are now dead, and seven years laier Dickens himself was no more. ‘All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.’’—Cbhambers’ Journal. >_ ee ECONOMY in taking Hood’s Sar- saparilla, because ‘100 doses one dollar” ts peculiar to and true only of the One True BLOOD Purifier. —— ae The Loge (nestion Now is wuere can we get a suitable Xmas oes for the least money.
