comfortably when they return home again,
Prince Albert has had a model building erected, with four dwellings,
or sets of rooms, each containing all the conveniences essential to a
distinct family-house, with four distinct entrances for the four
different families, such as he wishes every honest working couple in
this country, and indeed every honest couple in all parts of the
world, should possess. And, in order to shew to working men, and to
builders, and to persons of property who desire to do good, how they
can usefully assist their fellow creatures to comfortable habitations,
for the same rent that they now pay for closely-built, unhealthy ones,
he has erected these four model houses under one roof, each of them
dry, warm, convenient, fire-proof, and healthy, and yet cheap. They
are built of very hard hollow bricks, made by machinery, and are
situate at the corner of the barrack yard, near to the Crystal Palace,
and will be shown freely to all persons visiting the World's Fair.

Now, boys and girls, good-bye; I know you are sorry to see me going
away, and you may be certain I am sorry to be obliged to leave you.
But I hope we shall soon meet again, for I am thinking of coming to
see you very shortly, to tell you more stories and have another talk
with you. So, if you say you have been amused, and have learned
something, by reading these stories, I will pay you another visit
soon, and tell you something more about other things. But in the mean
time, let us hope that the suggestions of Prince Albert, the husband
of our gracious Queen, will do good; and that every body, and every
nation, may become better, and learn more, and love each other more,
in consequence of meeting together, in friendship and harmony, at

"THE WORLD'S FAIR."
