SMILE AND BE COATENTIKD
The world grows old, and men grow cold
To each - while seeking treasure,
And what with want, and care and toil,
We scarce hive time for Pleasure ;
But never mind, that is a loss
Not much to be lemmas(' ;
Life rolls on gaily, if we will.
But smile and be contented.
If we are poor and woldd be rich, 4,-
It will not be by pining;
No ; steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silvery lining,
There's never a man that dared to hope,
Hath of his choice repented ;
The happiest soul. on earth are those
Who smile and be contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart
And fortune bids us ftorrow,
From hope we may a blessing read,
And consolation borrow ;
If thorns may rise and roses bloom,
It cannot be prevented;
`So make the best of life you can,
And smile .rvi bo r n44.1t. 1.
A FIG/La INtiLl A MILD LION.
The entertainment was called upon the
bills a Great Moral Exhibition ; and as,
with the circus, it combined a menagerie to
which the Asian jungles and African deserts
contributed, clergymen and others were
cordially invited to witness the trained lion
and the lamb lying down touether, and par
ticularly to inspect the pictures upon the
Saes of the various stages, which were
nothing less than scenes from the Holy
Scriptures, constituting, on the whole, an
Illustrative Bible Show.
Or the perilirautnce, of which I am par
ticularly speaking, the last item had been
described idlithe attire' iikquetit as the "Ter
rible Exploits of Bartow° in the Den of
Wild Beasts;" the capitals had been thril
ling. Accordingly. after a sufficient quan
thy of little boys had been thrown by the
horses, an enormous carriage, that tilled
nearly half the space, was slowly whorled
upon the scene, the aides were let down, and
the Den of Wild Beasts was disclosed.
It was in three compartments, with Stron g
partitions much, ollattice-work ot iron bars
between them. In the IlrA one, Wine leo
pards and a Bengal tiger of loathly beauty
were rosining restica,ly round, up and
down, in and out, round and about, in a
way to make one's heart ache. Iu the cen
tral compartment a lion was striding up and
down, lashing his tail about ; while his
lioness, lying in one corner with her two
whelps fawning around her, looked with
complacent curiosity at the crowd who re
turned her gaze. But when the lids were
let down from the last compartment, all
thought of the occupants of the other two
was for a moment forgotten, as the immense
and single lion within that one sprang upon
his hind legs, pawing at the side of the cage
as if he would break through and bound
out upon us, and uttering simultaneously a
roar that resounded and reverberated from
side to side and made every heart stand
We were almost decorously placed on
the tiers of seats, but at the sound and the
sight the whole audience shook a little dos
er together; and for my part, never liking
such scenes as this promised to be, I had
hurt to go. •
"Never mind," said mx companion to me
as I excitedly signified My wish to hasten
off; "it is a trifling thing enough—the crea
tures are gorged with food and dandled
from their birth ; the exhibitor is in no dan
ger.'
"You are mistalen, sir," said one of the
group of bystanders. "In the first two
cages they are certiiiily tame enough ; but
the last beast is the true Nemec', raging for
his liberty, -r ready Mend a man to atoms
as ever Mt , wildest anintor was."
"Then why is he in that cage, sir?" I
asked, shivering beneath the blaze of those
eyeballs like cads.
"He was only added to the collection a
few hours aiuce," said another gentleman
at my side. "some sailors br, ught him
home on their es,n account ; the ship hap
peued to arriiv in harbor this morning, just
as the mettngerle was setting up its tent;
the sailors. bat no time in ruakind their bar
gain, and the animal :aa tran.tered im
mediately ; but an injury happening to his
own rage, he was temporarily shut into this
one, till better accommodations could be ar
ranged, I believe."
"Oh, without doubt."
"And then the ezhibitor does not venture
into that compartment %"
"Not unless he is insane, I fancy,"
,`Oh, what a roar! It is thunder's
self!"
"Possibly be is not been fed to-day."
"I think we had better go," I said. "It
really makes me ill."
"No, indeed," was the response I me
with. "If there is going to be anything
unusual, let us have the benefit of it !"
"But it semis to nie tho exhibitor is not
ready.; I do believe he is afraid himself."
f 'He has no occasion," said the second
bystander again. "In spite of our friend's
opinion of the be. , xt, unless the exhibitor
should open the door of the third cage, there
is absolutely not a shadow of danger."
"And if he should ?"
"Why then I imagine be would get his
deserts I',
"The lion would at any ratc," rejoined
my companion.
"Oh, how nervous you make me," I ex
claimed, "j wonder why the dauntless
Bartouro does not come !"
"Possibly - he is asleep," said the second
bystander once more ; "he ha: a little habit,
they say, which occasions - drowsiness—l
suppose sp hazardous an occupation as his
may have, in the beginning, required stim
ulants, and he has abused the necessity.
And if they are not sobering him with
bncketaful of cold water dashed over him,
they are probably helping him to hurry on
his tights and spangles."
As he spoke, a man carrying a little
switch bounded into the ring, made tilt bow
to the audience, throw open the cage of the
leopards, leaped lightly up, and in an in
stant had shut himself within. He was a
man of splendid physical development; and
so quick had been his three movements, that
one had nut t i me to see his flushed face and
its swollen veins before it seemed that the
exertion of eetaleg c leopard and waling
him Into the air bad °cautioned it.
"What e handsome feilow cried my
companion. "What shoulders! what
forearm His neck is a white column; it
is the torso of a hero. Was he pot together
that splendid wily, I wonder, for nothing
else than to play with kittens?"
He was a picture as he fronted us; -ze

As I thought thus, Bastouro Bung aside
tbe first partition of iron bars, with a thurat,
and warcin the central ea ge, ‘ stepping quickly
to the lioness and`switching her till sherrose
upon her feet, catching lite little cubs in
his arms, and throwing tbl \ m about like
juggler's ball+, calling the I on to his side
and lying down between the all, es it for
peaceful repoee in the born of‘tis family.
Meanwhile the titter Came and stretched
himself at his feet, and one of the \ leopstda
amused himself with boxing an imperti
nent little cub, while another leopa-d retir
ed to the farthest corner of the cage, and
appeared to keep watch like a sentinel over
the domestic scene. It was, after all a
charming sight ; and the place rung with
plaudits.
Suddenly, the Dauntless Bartow() sprang
to his feet, bowed again to the audience,
stepped and threw open the partition. My
tongue chive to the root of my month with
horror ; the whole amphithe•tt re hung upon
one breath. The three 14. intents 'wets
now a single cage alone----! , - t the animals
in the first pot tin tumidly ituddled them
selves together in the remotest part, cower
ing and whining and trembling abjectly.
But with a magnificent fearlessuem, Bar
tour° trod swiftly towards the lion, who
all stood erect, holding by his Ire
mPtidou paws to the ride of the cage, Cis
huge black mane rising and bristling around
him as if iusti et wit.ll savage life itself,
while he turned his head at the clang of the
bars, and glared - with red but eyes upon
Bent .urn.
"Come back! For God's sake come
back!" cried the ring -ma -ter, darting actual
the arena timards the cage. "It Ia the lion,
wild from the woods. You ure a -de.d
man !"
The whole audience rose. Oh, the crud
loind 7 oine faces of those dead and gime
R man woman these were not !heir
ghosts. But B riouro did not vouchsafe
him a glance—sinly.beinid swiftly hirward,
and struck the beast a tingling blow in the
lace.
It was the de'th blow ofcourage. The lion,
amazed firr one heart-beat, with the next
did not pause to crouch ere, springing, but
had thrown him-elf in one mass upon Bar
touro, who bad tottered end Fell, but rose
again, and lifted his turps, :hat were like
springs or steel, To thrust the beast away.
then as it fi g ritniog fed, the arms dropped
powerless, the man sank slowly down, his
eyes wide open and staring on the lion,
his face whiter than ashes, the blood pour
ing along his side in a scarlet torrent.
Women were fainting now in the audi
ence, children were shrieking, men were
springing forward ; the people of the ma
nagerie were tunniug to get some weapon,
an, axe, a pistol, anything; there was not
one who dared to enter the cage and snatch
his prey from the dreadful thing which
would devour it before our ve , y eyes for all
we knew, and which dragged it a few steps,
and then settled himself upon it with a
growl like the rumble of an earthquake—
while Bartouro gazed up at him,, the color
now of a corpse long dead, and utterly par
alyzed and insensible alike to pain or terror
in the lethargy of the beast's' beuumbing
stroke.
All at once, in that breathless instant, ■
ball of fire plot through the air from one
end of the rage to the other. It was the
leopard, who had sat sentinel. In a not
ment his mate bad followed. One had no
time to denote their superb beauty, nor to
wonder at their furious spring, before the
tiger had but led hims e lf after them, and all
three had fallen with a yell on the lion, who
tore his claws away, and half forgot Bar -
Cum to turn on them.
Whether it was love of their maFter, or
whether Xlme forest ,eert, atilt lingering
about the wild b utes, had roused 'be never
before awakened race of their blood, no one
ran say ; they were, giving their lives for
Bariouro—fo much was certain.
And Bartooro lay there and looked at
them, and now that he wag tree, forgot to
stir, or could not The people were shout
ing to him to save hhnself; th, it voices
seemed to teach him like mere echoes, a
dozen miles away ; he neither moved nor
lose. Ills own lion came and kart ov,r
him caressingly, his long mare sweeping
acroln - Tliartouro ; hut at his hnt, as if
some glimmer of sense teturned in a sud
don flush, 80 - tome must havpAy-lt- that the
animal should not lap away; owever, in
nocently at that, the blood - that was stream
ing down his own sides; and be pushed
him off and sprang to his feet.- With that
be was a man again—a sober man, tea,, in
one sense ; but in another sense more mad
with ragethau he had ever b, en itrefore with
liquor 7 for he, Bartuuro, the lion-tamer,
had been struck to the earth, in the face
of all men, by his own creatures.
"Come out—come out!" we cried. in one
voice. "Oh, you are wad, apouro ! "
He did nut deign us a look ; but his voice
rose over the snail, and roar, and cry, of
the struggling beasts, and over the uproar
awakened in neighboring cages, like a olast
of wind, "And leave my leopards to die ?"
in a moment he had darted forward, the
helpless arm danglig from his' shoulder, but
his right hand graspiiig his whips and as
the lion, turning atihe side glance which he
caught of his first assailant, regardless of
leopards or tigers, shook them off with a
mighty shudder, and collected himall for a
second leap upon him, Bartouro ran up
with his whip, and suddenly, with the pre
cision of a marksman, he had flecked its
thong first in one eye of the lion, and then
'the other, slipped aside as the loin rose on
its spring with a yell of pain and agony and
fell sprawling and rolling over, stoking
against the Iron sides of the cage, gathering
itself together again, and crouching as still
as the sphynx.
Another ray of light never entered those
throng-flecked eyea—the lion was stone
baud Irmo that day.
The whole scene had not occupied three
minutes. At its close, Bartouro caught his
torn leopards and tossed them into the other
end of the enclosure, single armed, drew
his tiger, already badly maimed, away by
the jaws, clanged down the iron door l.e
tween, stepped out, shut the cline behind
him, bowed to the audience—just as the
ring master and his asal4tacts ruched in with
swords and guns—and ran off as if he had
no more than trod upon a fly.
But as it was necestauy that something
should sppear to testify to the terror of the
occasion, I fainted away myself; and never
since that time have I stepped inside the
pavilion of any Great Moral Exhibition.

A SINGULARLY AFFECTING STORY. —When
the war broke out, says the Toleao Com
mercial, there lived In Chscinnati on honest,
IndustriOus, and happy German family.—
The husband and father enlisted in the ar
my in response to one or the flora calls for
men, and served faithfully . 'during many
long and weary months without visiting
borne; His conduct In theArtny was such
as to meet with the approbation of his su
periors, and he was finally promoted to *
captaincy. Just before the battle of Get
tysburg he obtained leave orabsence for the
purpose of visiting home on the following
Thursday, requesting her to be sure :Ltd
to eel hint at the train. The next day the
army started in pursuit of Lee, who wee
marching into Pennsylvania, and the gal
lant German captain, ihrtead 411 going home,
went with his comrades in pursuit of the
invad. r. He was in the fitment of that ter
rible fight at Gettysburg, and when the
smoke of battle cleared away and the dead
were gathered up for burial upon that con
sr crated ground, the German captain was
counted among the slain. The news of his
death reached his home in Cincinnati, since
which time the devoted wife has been cra
zy, and still expects her husband on the
next train, and by day and night--in all
kinds of weatlit r—ittands in the middle of
the crossing in limit of her house, lookittir:
in esery direction tirr the approach of him
who will never come again.
Often she will call on the Mayor and oth
er city authorities to have officers detailed
to go said watch "that train" to see if her
husband is not coining. Thiel strange con
duet has lamed for almost six years, and the
grief and trouble or the poor woman have
heen so great that she has turned prema
turely gray, and although under thirty years
of age. has the appearauce of a very old
person.
AN 'smer Dm/L.—The Helena (Mon
taua)" Herald describes a duel between two
la.lidus, which shows that the red men are
often es punctilious of their honor, and
have as touch cool bravery, as white men.
Some Indians were at I.l. , lter's saw mill,
near Helena, when one of them displayed
his revolver, and boasted so highly of his
...atraordittaty skill in its as • that anoth. r
brave of the party exfltimed, "Ugh you
can't shoot," and denounced hint as a brag
gart, at the same time saying that he could
put him to shame at his own game. Where
upon Waive No. 1 proposed a test of.akill,
giving his opponent the advantage of a
title, his favorite weapon. This was at once
acceded to, and immediate preparations
were made for a duel in their own peculiar
style. By this . time about twenty warriors
had collected, and the party repaired to a
spot near by, where they marked off about
forty feet—the distance that was to separate
the dusky duelis's, who, meanwhile, stood
by manifesting the most social indifference.
When all was ready the two warrior- , took
their position, standing with their heels on
the mat k tack to back,one with revolverand
the other with his rifle. The Indio] who
had been selected to conduct the afftir
waved a spear two or three times above his
bead, gave the (et rible warwhoop,and on the
instant the two savages wheeled and tired.
Both fell—one shot through the brain, the
other p erced to the trart.
A NEW IsaTEUMANT op DKATEL —Several
cases have recent iy occurred in New York
and Brooklyn where windows have been
pierced and persons shot by bullets without
the usual noise incident to the discharge of
a gun or pistol. A correspondent of one of
the New York papers states that these but
lets are not shot from air guns, as has been
genetally supposed, but thtt there is a new
kind at gun now sold that totueu hat re
sembles the old cross gun, except that in
stead of the arrow or bullet being propelled
by the elasticity of a bow, it is iu this case
accompli-bed by the equally forcible OAS
itchy of an India rubber strap. A bullet
placed in this gun, and the strap being for
cibly drawn b.ck and then unloosened by a
'rigger, its sudden relaxation gives a force
to the bullet but little inlifrior to the exp,tn
sitin of the sudd. nly rate tsrd ga+ea of gun
powder ; and this can be dose without any
greater noise than is created by the bow
gun as its bow is releastied. If these state
ments are true, these weapons will prove
very dangerous iu the hands o. assosins,
as the absence of a• y report at the time at
shooting will greatly facilitate the escape of
tke persons using them.
How TO Ganes LkFlXia WATERMECLoNS.—
A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man gives the following as his way of
growing large watermelons:
We select a deep light soil, new ground,
or a good clover sad, as we find that the
more open the ground the better, and if the
soil is largely composed of fibrous roots,
straw, or other material, to prevent
,the
ground from becoming compact, the better
the melon roots penetrate and in conse
quence the more thrifty the growth of the
plant.
S in all good and successful cultivation,
the ground should be well plowed and bar
rowed; draw furrows eighi feet apart each
way ; one, at least, of these furrows should
be tilled with old hay or other light mater
ial, and after making the hills this should
be tramped in and covered with the plow.
At each of the Intersections we place tWo
forks full of well rotted manure ; one foot
or eighteen inches asunder; over this we
draw, the soil to make the hill, in which we
drop ten or twelve seeds of the "Mountain
Sweet," planting the seeds beetween the
manure and, covering lightly.
But one or two plants - are left to grow in
each bill, and but one or two melons on
each vine ; the after cultivation is met ely ,
to keep the ground mellow and free from
weeds, and when the vines begin to run
plow two farrows to them and barrow
down.
A FRENCHMAN SPONTANROVELT COM
BUSTS.—The New Orleans Crescent relates
a case of spontaneous combusilm which
occurred in that city. The victim, one
Gaston Luylay, a Frenchman, who was an
excessive drinker, was knows to absorb as
much as tourteen bottles of .claret in one
day. Luylay became so degraded that he
became a mere hanger-on at slow salon.
During one of his horrible debauches be
was dircovered in the act of diiukinir from
a can containing coal oil. The physicians
woo attended him were unable to divine the
nature of the complaint. The victim utter
ed the most heart-rendering screams, cum
plairmi of intense stinging pains, and died
In the greatest agony. His' whole frame
was convuised anti slightly dlstorttd, the
body in a state of ebullition as it were, and

&MORS' GETITEBVIO) STAR :—Yoti will
doubtless be surprised to heir from this parr
orcreation, not knowing that one of tit.:
qpiindam residents of your state and county
is making his peregrinations" In these parts.
I ottea thought that amongst the many read
ers of the good old "Siren, - (whose lace Is
funillar,) some, if not many, would like to
hear or have a description of the country
and the gold regions of this "Far West."—
Raving been here but a few months, and
during that time wandering over the Rocky
Mountains, I can give but a brier account of
it, but will speak of the things which more
immediately. fell under my notice. This
city is situated upon the narrow b.tnks of
an affluent of Clear Creek, a branch of the
South Platte River, thirty-five miles west of
the city of the plains (Denver).
Gilpin county, of winch Central is the
largest town, is the stusllest, one of the
richest and the mo-t famous, as it Is the
hest developed, of the motte' counties,
and covers the choicest section. as I .r as I
know, of the great mineral belt of Colornd9,
it lies on the east slope of the mountains,
about fifteen or twenty miles within the
Mot hills, at an elevation, it Is said ; tdifrom
eight to ten thousand feet above the sea.
The mountain roads are unsdrptissed and
strike the first beholder with awe, who la
whirled over them at the rate of ten mike
an hour in the tine six horse Concord
coaches of Wells, Fargo . Co. This com
pany run a daily line of coaches to and
trom Denver and Georgetown, (the latter
town being 20 miles north east in the Silver
uistricts of Colorado, of which I miry write
in future,) and expect to put on another line
dut hag the summer. The population of this
city is about eight thousand, including thc
adjoining towns of Black Hawk, Mountain
City and Nevada, the tour iorming a con
tinuous line of scAtlements, in reality but
one town, as the line of separ abut is bat
itnagivary, and strung out to the distance of
three miles, with an ascent In that distance
of over one thousand feet. Here ate flue
