Al II ".1 ryitt It my uume,"
Ye fusty old fogies, Professors by namo,
A doed you've been doing of sorrow ami shamo t
Though placed In your Chairs lo spread know!
edge nbroad,
Against half of mankind you would shut up the
ro.id I
Thu Fair Sex from scleuco you seek to withdraw.
ny cnrorclng against Ihcm n strict Hallo law:
Is It fear? Is It envy 7 or what can It bo t
And why should n woman not get a degreo 7
llowungrntcful of You, whoso best cirorLs dc
pend
On tho aid certain Ladles In secret may send I
Ci.io hire writes n lecture, Urania Mere,
And more Muses than ono prompt tho Musical
Chair.
CAM.toi'K sheds o'er tho Classics delight.
And Ihe lawyers havo meetings wllh Themis by
night;
Yet, If Vex us du' Medici came, even She
Could among her own Mcdlcl get uodegrec,
In Ioglo n woman may seldom excel ;
But In Rhetoric always sho bares ofT tho hell.
FalrPoitriA will show woirnn's talent for law.
When In old Shylock'sbond sho could prove such
n naw.
Sho would blunder lu Physic no worso than Ihe
rest,
She could leave thlnjs to Nuturons well ns tho
best ;
Sho could feel nt your wrist, sho could nngeryoar
reo;
Then why should n woman nut got n degree?
Your tardy repentance now seiks to supply
What your Jealousy lormerly dared to deny.
You would open a byway whoro women may
pim,
And by which, Ifthcy can, they may climb loa
c.
But you wish thorn to show Intellectual riches.
Such as only aro found with Iho wenrors of
breeches ;
So If 1 were to marry, tho woman for Mo
Shouldn'ttry for n Class, or desire a degree.
Your Lectures for Ladles somo fruit may pro.
mice
For n Courso of good lectures Is nlways of use :
On a married Professor yourcholce should nllelit.
Who may lecture by day as he's lectured at
night.

Walt Strathmore und his youn
ger biotliur, lmd been frequent visitors
at our lovely mansion in Elton, and
somo ancient spirits nodded their heads
sagely nnd hinted at "marriage," while
young girls fairer than I, tossed their
curls und wondered "what Walt and
Gerard Strathmoro could see in that
Ivy Viiyno to admiro; for sho had nei
ther beauty nor style."
And I, Ivy Vayno aforesaid, listened
mid smiled, for I had learned tho sweet
est lesson a girl can learn tho lesson of
"love."
For many weeks Gerard and Walt
had established themselves in Ellon,
principally nt our home, nnd ono dav
in September, Walt camo alone, and in
a quiet sort of way, confessed "ho loved
mo." Tiiis sudden confession annoved
and startled mo, I had boon so en
grossed with gay Gerard, and as I lis
tened to his passionato words and his
quiet, almost stern manners, I did tho
most foolish tiling a woman could do,
mrst Into a ilood of hysterical weeping.
Ho soothed mo In a tender, calm way,
and spoko of his lovo being lowarded
at last, and I entreated him to leave
mound let mo think.
Ho pressed my hand to his llpi and
left me, to dream of his brother. Ge
rard had paid mo no particular inten
tion; liu had turned my music when I
u as called to tiio piano, ho had held in v
bouquet of lloivers, nnd entreated for
"Just one," as many others bad done,
but ho had novcr shown In any other
way, that I was dearer than other girls
to him. All this I recalled, and at lait
remembered how assiduous Wait had
been townrds mo, I had boon so long
in lovo with Gerard, that Walt had on
ly occupied a small niclio in my heart,
as Gerard's brother, that and nothing
more.
Novcr wero two brothers moro unlike.
Walt, tho elder by two years, was slight
mid of medium height, with brown
hair and browner eyes, hut with a stern
severe look about tho finely chiseled
mouth, that had produced a most unfa
vorable Impression on mo. Gerard, on
the contrary, was tall and dark, with
laughing bluooycs and Jet black curling
hair; tho Jetty lushes gavo a particularly
fascinating expression to tho eyes, in
deed his cntiro facu ; a llnely shaped
nose, and exquisitely beautiful mouth,
shaded by a dark inoustacho, comple
ted us lino it picture as over won a mai
den's first affections. But alas ! as I ro
called Gerard's fair form nnd face, I
smiled bitterly at myself how daro I,
so plain and unprepossessing, asplro to
tiio lovo oi so glorious n specimen of
manly beauty and excellence
Both brothers wero accomplished, but
Gerald was best liked, In society his
wit anil polished compliments wero
courted by fair feminities, and many n
lieurt beat tumultuously at his approacli.
Why did I not respond to thu lovo of.
fered to mo by Walt Strathmoro ? Ah,
mo, tvlio can tell a woman's heart.
I decided lu my own mind to wait a
llttio longer, and then If Gerard did not
proffer mo tho cup of Joy, I would uc
ccpt his brother.
It was weak, and wicked I know, to
trlllo with another's happiness, but I
know Walt loved me, and, must I con
fess tho truth? I would bolmppylu
having oven (ho brother's- lovo Gerard
would glvo me, us tho wife of Walt

FRIDAY, AP1UL 30,
avoided me, and I reproached myself
for giving my heart unsought, nnd after
a while, prido camo to my aid, and I
sang and danced nnd flirted to bring
him to my side, but ho only avoided
mo tho more, and when ono ovcnlng
Walt again pressed his suit with moro
ardor than ho had shown before, t
placed my trembling hand In his, nnd
told him I would bo his wife; then
Joined tho group of dancers nnd I wns
tho merriest among them; bo light'
hearted dltl I appear Unit I even tie-
reived myself Into tho belief that I Was
happy.
In a few days our engagement wns
known and talked of by every onc,and
mnny wondered that two such quiet
people, (for I had never been gay und
girlish until lately) should fancy each
other.
Just two weeks from tho day set apart
for our marriage, Walt had a loiter from
somo business llrm out West, and tho
cull was such mi Impcriitlveouu Unit ho
went,very reluctantly Itmustbo owned.
"Ho wouldbu back innweek"liosald,as
ho kissed mo good bye, and then ho
placed my hand in that of his brother,
nnd told Gerard to tako good caro of
"his wlfo that was soon to be," nnd
with nnother kiss hastily snatched, ho
wns gone.
Three days after ho left, aerard enmo
into the musle room nnd took n sent by
my side, talking on indifferent themes
at tlrst, gradually coming to the subject
of my marriage. Ho sat abstracted a
few moments, then suddenly faclngmo,
ho almost hissed tho question into my
oars, "Do you lovo my brother, as a
woman should lovo tho man sho mar
ries?" If ho had struck mo a blow it
could not havo hurt mo more; to bo
asked the question by tho man I loved
nbovo all earthly things, was llkoublow
from an unseen hand,
I felt tho blood leave my face, and
clonchod my hands till tho nails cut in
to tho (lesh. It was over in one gasp;
I recovered my senses nnd my prido
catnu to my nid. He had now my heart
and wanted to test his power still fur
ther; ho must have seen how passionate
ly I had loved him, but I would give
him no cause to believo 1 still did so. I
returned his gaze willi eyes unflinch
ing, then clasped my hands theatrically
together and answered "Lovo him?
It Is a tame expression, I would die
without li Is love." Was I dreaming,
or did his lips gleam whitely from un
der the black moustache? 1 must have
been dreaming fur ho aroso in a mo
ment and asked mo in a quiet natural
tono of voice, to play for him, and
placed on tho music rack that silly rat
tling nlece,"MyMaryAnn."Not a quiver
In his clear rich voice, but ho was gay
and irreslstably funny, and I laughed
bitterly as I imagined perhaps ho had
loved me. Loved mo ? tho gay, bril
liant, handsome Adonis, love tho plain
Ivy Vuyno so unliko his handsome
self? what wietched folly bad come
over me.
I was looking for Wait's return hour
ly, lor In four days I would be hiswife,
and J looked forward to that ovent as
my only safety. After I was Wall's
wifu It would lie sinful to lovo Gerard,
and I found myself nctinlly longing for
tho return of my hctrothed. Return ho
did, only to put off our wedding till tho
following April. Business would call
him away to tho West again immedi
ately and ho would not tako mo with
him, 'till tho tedious business was off
his mind. I fancied I heard Gerard
mutter "scoundrel," under his heavy'
moustache, while Walt was explaining
hurriedly to mo why ho must leave me,
but again it wns fancy on my part, for
lie was humming an opera air.
The postponed marriage occ;p-ionod
great surprise in Elton, nnd much gos
sip, especially after Gerard took Ills de
parture for his homo in tho sunny
South, butlheedednottho busy tongues
but went quietly on my way, almost
happy.
I was lying ono evening on tho s.ttin
damask faiiteuilXn ourclinriiiiiigsltting
room, when tho door was opened softly
and n voice whoso rich cadence bent
thrills of rapturo through my heart,
mid, "Ivy, are you hero ? Speak to me,
II ljJerard."
What need of telling mo that, when
even tho sound of his footstep was fa
miliar to mo, I sprang up and turned
tho gas on brightly. I shall never for
get tho look on bis handsomo face, as
ho advanced towards mo with out
stretched hands. "Ivy read that, but
for Iiea veil's sako bo calm, I thought I
could tell you, but I cannot. I'oorchiid,
It was cruel, cruel I tho heartless
scoundrel I
"Say good byo to mo Ilrst, for I
cannot stay to seo your misery',' and
know it's out or my power to chastise
tho villain, because ho Is my brother,
tho dastardly wretch I"
Ho clenched his shapely white hand
iu his auger, then snatched mo to his
breast, kissed mo passionately on Hps
nud hair, and was gone, with only a
crumpled lotter iu my hand, to assuro
mo tho past fuw moments wero not tho
continuation of my dream.
I opened tho letter In a bowlldered
manner and read tho following "Upon

Ivy all. I did think' I loved her, until

blotted that I could not decipher it, In

those cruel heartless suggestions, iu his
consideration for my feelings, and his

to witness "my Biifleriugs." I laughed
as I reponted tho word, with a gladness

to me.
Yenrs passed, nnd in my homo nt El
ton, many changes had como; parents
bail gone to a brighter nnd better land,
leaving mo very sad and lonely In tho
great liouse.
I devoted my time principally to mu
sic, I loved It so, for 1 remembered how
many hours my loved parents had lis
tened delightedly to my performances,
and I also remembered days long slnco
dead, when Gerard Strathmoro had lis
tened tome, often Joining in somo ex
qulslto melody, his rich clear voice with
my own sadder cadence. I thought of
tho "ono heart" I had hoped to win
and failed. In nil tho years I had had
no tidings of Gerard, but a letter camo
from Walt bearing these few words :
"My own Ivy may I still call you
mine? My wlfo hns been dead two
yiars, sho was a high-tempered crea
ture, and wo lived most unhappily, and
served mo right for my desertion of so
fair nnd sweet a flower ns Ivy Vnyno,
but I will mnko nmends for all when I
see you. Adieu till then. Walt."
Tho nolo wns charactcrictio of tho
man, heartless, egotistical, I knew that!
Walt Strathmoro had loved mo as well
as his shallow naturo would allow nnd
I almost loathed him. I could after
tills laps of years barely tolerato his
name, and then, only for tho sako of
Ids brother.
I returned the note to tho address with
these words. "I never loved you oven
In tho past, I despiso you now too
thoroughly, to over look upon your
faco." I had heard but oneo since of
him: report said ho was engaged to an
heiress, far from beautiful in looks or
temper.
I was still nt tho piano when n visitor
wns announced, nnd Ann (our old ser
vant) ushered In a tall inlddie-nged
man. I sprang up to welcome him, with
outstretched hands, then, remembering
nil, I coldly placed the tips of my fingers
in his palm, nnd said,"you nro welcome
Mr. Strathmoro, to my home,oucemore.
Alas I there havo been many changes
since I last beheld you, but those whoso
voices wero wont to greet you nrohushed
Iu silence. I am alone, alone."
My voice broko from Its steady calm
ness and beforo I knew It, my head was
pillowed on Gerald's breast.
"Not alone, darling! if I may comfort
you. Oli I Ivy.bow madly I have loved
you all theso years. Even when tho
promised brido of my brother, I loved
nnd fought against that lovo as sinful."
"Do you remember tho tlmo I asked
you 'if you loved my brother asu wo
man should lovo the man sho Intended

death blow to my hopes; I dared not
wrong you nnd him by my love. I fear
ed to wrong your gentle heart, and could
not cndtiro tho thought of receiving
'your pity.' 'How you loved him, 'I said
to myself, and, when that heartless letter
came, I had not strength to remain and
witness your sutlerings, fearful of be
traying my cherished secret.

A correspondent of tho Bradon Mlss
Isslppl.Republican wrltingfrom Forrest
in tho samo State, on tho 23th of March,
payi:
Several days previous immense post
ers were pasted on all tho walls in town,
announcing that Reynold's great Mexi
can Uymnaslum and Menagerio would
exhibit in Forrest on that day. Early
in tho morning all the roads leading to
town wero thronged with peoplo of all
nges,se.es,and colors.nnd by ten o'clock
tho whole town was alive with visitors
awaiting tho arrival of tho menagerio.
At eleven o'clock tho fine brass baud
announced tho arrival oftho show, and
by twclvo tho canvas was stretched and
the cages of tho animals arranged.
Tho huge elephant Hercules tho lar
gest ever imported into this country-
was chained to a stake ; and, by way of
caution to thoso entering tho canvas.
.John Alston, his keeper, stated that ho
had for several days manifested a disno
sition of insubordination, and begged
that no ouo would approach sulUcIently
near to receive a blow from his trunk.
Mr. Mark Kilo, from the northern part
oi mis county, coming in nfter Mr. Al
stou'sndmoultion, thoughtlessly handed
him a pieco of tobacco, which so enraged
mm that ho struck at him witii such
violence as to dislocato Ills shoulder, al
though It was a glancing blow. Ho
plunged with such force that ho broko
his chain, and, although his keeper used
every effort to subduo him, ho was en
tirely uncontrolable.and ho would striko
and kick nt every object near him. By
tiiis tlmo tho sceno was beyond descrip
tion. The vast crowd flew for life. Ho
flew at his keeper and pursued him un
der the canvas.
Tho eleven o'clock freight train being
behind tiiuc.and not having any freight
for Forrest, and tho engineer not intend
ing to stop, camo rushing along at tho
rate of twenty miles an hour. When it
had approached within two hundred
yards he looked up and seemed doubly
enraged. Ho immediately ran toward
it with grcnt speed, und met it witii such
a stroke that ho broko ono or his tuyks
and wns immediately killed. Tho en
gine wn.s detached rrom tho train and
tlirown-rrom tho track, and Mr. Whar
ton, tho engineer, having failed to shut
off the steam, it unfortunately ran into
tho canvn3 and smashed tho lion's case,
killing tho lioness and releasing tho
Hon. Tho lion lludlng himself uninjured
and at liberty, and being frightened by
tho steam and whistle of tho engine,
started at full speed down the Home-
wood road, roaring toirlfienlly. Ho had
gone but a short dfstanco when ho met
Mr.Geerg'i W.Sheppiird and gavo chase.
Mr. Sheppard finding that ho was gain
Ingupouhlm rapidly.and that he would
certainly bo overtaken, attempted to
climb a s.ijillng. Ho struck nt him with
his paw ns lie ascended, hut fortunately
did no other damage than to tear off his
coat till I and carry away n part of his
pants.
Mr. John Smith, or Raleigh, who was
on his way to Forrest, riding his lino
pacing horse, with his littlo son behind
lilin, met him rour miles rrom hero.
As soon us his horso saw him ho neigh
ed, when the Hon rushed nt him, seized
him by the throat nud threw him to tiio
ground. Mr. Smith witii his little son
escaped to tho wood and made their
way to Forrest on root.
Whllo hq wus devouring Mr. Smith's
horso, Mr. Jamoa J. Rltcli, who was on
his way to Forrost with a load or chick
ens, drove up. As soon as ho saw him
ho rcarod ou hu hind feet, lashed tho
ground with his tail, r.ud sprang uthlni.
Mr. Ritch eluded him byjumpiug rrom
his wagon, when ho mounted and began
to tear open tho boxes containing thq
chickens and turned them out. Ho
then seemed to loso sight of overythlng
lu his efforts to catch thorn.
When tho excitement In town abated,
about twenty mounted men, well armed,
started In pursuit with ull tho dogs be
longing Iu town as well ns many who
had followed their owners. Mr.
Reynolds, tho ownor of the lion, begged
them not to kill him, and sent several.
men with tho crowd with Instructions
to capture htm if possible, but no doubt
ino citizen win kiii nun ns soon as
thoy overtake him.
It Is reported that ho killed a frcod
