THE FALL OF THE CURTAIN. nr Wi-vrrs I’jnM.ii’s. The fun of the fair was at Its height ! On every sulo arose tho hoarse shouts, oaths and loud laughter of (he men, mingled with'the shrill mirth of the wo men. the crying of babies, ami the screaming of children, while above this choking, tearing, stifling mass.of life, the music from the shows rolled in billows of sound from every point, and meeting iiluA'e. the heads ol the struggling mob, ending in a tempest of clamor. In every Inti ot’this storm was heard the shouting of (he rival showmen. ‘Mermaid !’ cries one exhihitor, with a derisive-laugh, as he keeps up a running commentary up on his rival’s announcements. ‘Well, she aln’l worth much, though yon buy her by the pound, and weigh her In her own scales. Why don’t you let the young lady come but and take a walk on the platform? She’ll he eaten up with the rhumalix a-sittin’ so long in her wet small clothes. . Let’s see what’s next— Oh! a Snndwidge Islander as will enl raw meat! • And who wouldn’t ?’ this query he addressed to the crowd—‘and be glad to got it, those 1 lur'd times?’ This speech is rewarded by a shout of appro bation from the crowd, with the majori ty of whom .‘ttfeat at any price’ would form an appropriate motto. ‘Gentlemen and ladies!’ roars another showman. Ladies fust!’ from (he crowd. ‘Ladies and gentlemen! Walk up! and seethe hootiful Maid of CirKasher, orig’nally the favorite Siiltaney of the great Sham G’Tartaiy. She was rescued from her captivation by a noble English gentle man, who brought her over to this coun try, and-afterwards ’ . ‘Sold her. to pay expenses,’ puts in the first showman amid a shout of laughter. ‘What 'nve, you got. to.’show agin 1 her?’ asks sbow -■♦♦•i.wniini.ber two, with increased anger. Coorious and sfi , c*w>,c.t- umiressing the mob, who with great impartiality ap plauds both speakers alternately: ‘La dlesand gentlemen,,! will now introduce to your notice the celebrated Jim Panzee; or‘Wild Man o’ the Woods. He will be brought afore you Toradew seconds load ed with chains, becos* of bis untnmeable fee-rocity, and then taken hack to his cage, where ail can witness his amus ing tricks, and subject him to, a neater inspec'ion, can do so by mountin’ the ladder, and payin’ their money. There is a lull of expectation, speedily followed hv a burst of applause, as an, individual, hemetrfcally sealed in a holry envelope presents himselfon the platform. Round his waist is.a broad belt with enormous chain* attached, tho ends of which are firmly grasped by two herculean strollers who show such unraistakeable signs of extreme trepidation, that the died upon the spectators Is tremendous. ‘There !’ says the triumphant showman, ‘look at that! It’s a sight you don’t see every day.’ Aa there is no denying this asser tion, it is rewarded with a shout of ap plause. ‘This ree-mnrkablo creolur,’ he continues, pointing to the gentleman in tho hairv envelope, ‘is the famous Jim Panzee.br Man Monkey, aa lives in a forest of h’onx, one of which he pulls up every morning for a walkin’ stick. Ho has the strength of twenty men, builds bissolf a house of branches, and sits on tho roof, day and night, to keep it from blowing away, which shows his uncom mon sagacity.

Not slow are other combatants to join tho fray, ami rushing up the ladders conies the mob, roaring and inesislible. ‘The canvas paintings that adorn the booths are rent In shreds, a portion of the boarding is broken in, and, as the number of rioters increase, the platform itself begins to crack and among tho cries of the men, and shrieks of the women, slowly to give WftV The rush up Is now changed to a rush down the ladder, but the pressure against the rail in front of tho platform each moment increases till it snaps in several places and precipitates nearly a dozen persona, the owner of the Chim nanzeenmong tho number, to the ground. ‘Stand away from him; give him air!’ ‘He’s dead” ‘Noa heheant—he ho a nMi It tho’!’ ‘Carry him to the Nor folk Anns!’ A dozen hands now lift, j gently lift, the old showman from the ground, he giving no indication of hfo either by word or sign. The sad proces sion then moves slowly through the crowded fair, tho mob, even where it is moat thick, making ready way. ihe loud hubbub subsides for tho moment in to something like silence as the body is borne along. Suddenly the Ups of the before seemingly lifeless man part, and ho murmurs a word, but murmurs it so faintly that ihose around have to bond down close to catch Ills meaning. It la but one word—‘Joel? ‘That’s his son .

Sudden* ly the painful stillness of the room is „ broken by a wild cry, and bursting through the circle around the bed, a boy throws his arms about the dying man, who, as though the sound had called back, the retreating life, opens his glaz ing eyes, and gazes into the little face bent over him, (hen a smile slowly brigh tens on the stroller’s lips') ns with an of ; fort he places his arms about the child’s neck. ‘lt’s little Joe,’ lie says, 'ray little Joe!’ The hoy answers by a sob,- ‘l've been a-wnltiir for you Joe.’ Hero the door is again thrown open, and into the room a little man in full evening dress, ... ~w‘r^rl»g. tf JU)9.u„-JdH..,aelf;complaceirt„.and,. closely-shaven countenancoan expression scarcely in accordance with its usually stereotyped amiabllitj’. This is the doc tor, whom half a score of clamorous mes sengers had summoned froin the county Hall at the Assembly Rooms, opposite. ‘ Well, and how are we now’?’ says the doctor, jerking out the words more from habit than any other feeling, as lie ap proaches the bedside. ‘We’re purty well, Hmnk’ee,’ says the Charnpanzee, who took upon himself to reply for the com pany, ‘and much obleogcd to yo for-ax ing; but its my unforliult mate as re quires your intentions.’ The doctor stares in.some surprise, not a little min gled with alarm, for, as we have previous ly mentioned, (ho Wild Man of the Woods still retained bis hairy cos tome. ‘Get out of the way, boys,’ says the doc tor, as ho sloops over (ho old"stroller to make the -necessary examination, push ing little Joe aside as he d' es so. ‘Don't send him away, sir,’ pleads the showman, faintly. *We shall soon- be parted far enough.’ Is he your son ? asks the little brisk man. somewhat mure mildly. ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘ls them any hope?’ ‘Hope?’ re pealed the doctor in ills sharp, quick tones. ‘Why, no—yes—that is, there’s always hope whole there’s life, you'know, Internal hermorrhage; bad, very bad case. Descending the stairs tlio doctor is followed down by Hie Chimpanzee, to whom ho gives a note to deliver to Mr. {Splint, Ills assistant. He’Jl come himself with the medicine, and stay here till the case is over.’ ‘Over! 1 ‘SVell. under, if vou like it. better. Ha!, ha!— ahem!

The showman had dropped off Into asleep,or rutherlethargy,for ho was evldenlally sinking fast, and asquiet had been strictly enjoined by the doctor, the careful Chimpanzee gave the sobbing boy a rough admonition with his foot ; this being unintended to, he took him-by the collar and led him to the window, tell ing him ‘to give over If he couldn’t do it softly..' ‘You ain’t no feeling to go takin’ on iii that fashion ! It’s time enough to make a row at the funeral, for then you can’t wake nobody with 3'our hulla bal loo,’ ‘Let me stay here!’ said the boy, ih a tone of mingled entreaty and fierce ness. ‘He shan’t hear me.

Beneath him was the roar and tumult of the crowded street, the flashing of 'carriage lamps anddhe glimmer of passing wheels. Opposite to him were the Assembly Rooms, brilliantly lighted, and through ■the windows of which lie could seethe dancers—beautiful women anti elegant men- moving in what appeared to him to be an endless maze, an inextricable confusion. Streams of life, llowlng gracefully as water, weaving and it.tor weaving! gliding apart, only to meet asrain in snm.o yet more, exquisite combi nation of grace and motion, the.whole governed by the breadth of music that came to him in gushes. At lust a strange fear came over the boy, lie listened eagerly for some sound—the prolonged silence alarmed him. lie crept away from the window, and on tip toe approached Hie bed; ho looked eagerly into the white and ghastly face that to his disordered fancy, seemed almost luminous amid.the darkness around, for the doctor had ho placed the candle that its rays no longer fell upon, the bed. He bent down and watched fora tremor in the eyelids, i a movement of the li| s, a gtirdn the shadow's about the mouth. He listened for a breath—not one came; and the dew of fear bung in beads on his fore head, and lay cold on his cheek. He sprang erect, and was about to scieam to bis father to utter one word, but one, to g’.ve assurance of life, when the breath again passed through the parted lips, the breast.of the wounded man heaved, and respiration went on slowly as before. Tlio poor child listened for a moment; then, Horn very covered his luce ‘with his trembling hands, and wept aloud. At this moment the door of the room opened, and several ’members of the troupe entered ; while, as if In mockery ot the sad scene, a burst of llvo ly music rose up from the street. With a suddenness that made those around the bed recoil, the old showman shook oil’ his lethargy, and started up as again the music rose like a wave, and broke with a crush against the window. ‘Play ’em out!’ Play ’em out!’ ‘cried Hie old man, in a loud and joyous voice. ‘lf it hasn’t been a tip-top performance, it’s been a honest one, ami they’ve had their mo ney’s worth ! They’ve had their money’s worth !’ He fell buck, and the red stream of life came bubbling to his lips ; at the same time the music ceased, ami nothing was heard hut the trampling of many feet. ‘lt’s all over!’ he murmured,‘All over, Joe!

A portrait? A lock of hair? No, neither the one nor the other ; but only four bent pins wrought together in tho form of a star. “The history of this singular oruameift is contained in the following communication: Count K —j was, some years ago t iu his own coihury, suspected of being tyo* •muclrinelined to^pollticsrand’Tvas. con-"' sequently, one night, without,examina tion or further inquiry, lorn bosom of his family by police oliicers, conveyed to a fortress In u distant part . of the country, ami thrown into a dark, damp dungeon. - Days, weeks,.and months passed away without hts.beiug brought to trial. The unhappy man saw himself robbed of ev ery succor. In tho stillness of death and. the darkness of tho grave, he fell, not only his strength failing him. but also his mind wandering. An unspeakable anguish took hold of him. He, who feared not to appear before Ills judges, now trembled before himself. Conscious of his danger, ho endeavored to procure something to relieve himself from the double misery of idleness ami loneliness, and thus preserve him from a terrible in sanity. Four pins, which happened ac cidently to be in his coal, had fortunately escaped the notice of the jailor. Those were to he t lie means of deli ver ance to ins spirit. Ho threw the pins upon the earth, Which alone Was the floor of his gloomy dungeon, ami then busied himselfin peeking for them in’the.denso darkness. 'When, after a tiresome search, ho‘.succeeded in finding them, be threw (hem down anew,.ami so,again and again, did he renew his voluntary task. All the day long, Bitting, lying or kneeling, he groped, about with his hands until ho found the pins which lie had inteiition allyscattered. This fearful, yet beneficial recreation continued fornix years Then, at last, a great political event opened suddenly the doors of his prison. The count had Just scattered his pins, but he would not leave his cell without taking with him the little instruments of his own preservation from despair and from madness. He soon found them, for now the clear, bright light of day beamed i« through the doorway of his dungeon.— As the count related this sad story to the countess, she seized, the pins with holy eagerness. Those crooked, yeliow brass pins, which during six fearful years had been scattered and gathered alternately, were become to her as precious relics; and now, set in a fruine of rich brilliants, worth £loo’ ns a treasure of much greater value, she wears them on her bosom. A CURIOUS CUSTOM. Sir John Lubbock, in his recent work bn the “Origin of Civilization,” speaks of a curious custom, very widely spread among savages of all regions, by which on the birth of a baby, the father, and not the mother, is put to bed and nursed like a sick person for several weeks. This custom was almost universal among the Indians of South America. The Jesuit missionary to Paraguay, Dobrliizhofler, tells us that “no sooner do you hear that a woman has borne a child than you see* the husband lying In bed, huddled up with mats and 'skins, lest some rude hren'h of air should touch him, fasting, kept In private, and for a number of days abstaining religiously from certain kinds of viands: von would swear It was he w i om limes,'unu nmgnen at u. nut never thinking I could believe such madness ; I used to suspect that lids barbarian cus tom was more in jest Ilian In earnest; but at last I saw it with my own eves among the Ahipones.” ‘Hrett, in his “Account of the Indian Tribes of Guiana,” says he saw a man whose wife had lately been, delivered, lying in a hammock, wrapped up as if lie were sick, though really in the most robust health, while the mother of the new born infant was engaged in cooking and othei work about the but. Traces of (his custom were found in Greenland, where, after a woman is com fined, the husband must, forbear working for Home weeks: and In Knmskata, where for some time before the birth of a baby, the husband must do no more hard work. Similar notionsnre found among the Chi nese, among the Dyaks of Borueoiand what is still stranger, is that thev exist to lids day in Corsica, in the'North of Spain, and in thcSouth of France, where the custom is called fairc la couvndc.— Max Muller, in Ids “Chips from a Ger man Workshop,” tries to account for it thus: “K is clear that the poor 'husband was at first tyranized over by Ids female relations, and afterward frightened into BUperstitlcm* He (hen began to make a maityr of himself, till he made himself really ill, or took 'o his bed'ln self-de fence. Htrnngeand absurd as the couvndc appears at first sight, there is something in it with which, wo believe, that most niothers-hi-law cun sympathize.” Sir John Lubbock, however, prefers to accept the Carlh and Abipone explanation, and which is that they believe the new born infant would lie injured in some way if the father engaged »n any rough work or was careless of Ids diet.
