THE OLD STILL-HOUSE.
It stands by the river side,
The still-house drear and brown,
The roof is dark, and the chimney wide,
Bath partly fallen down.
The , oivl hoots there in the dismal night,
Ile looks like a ghost in the moonbeams white ;
And his ghostly bride, with her round, large eyes,
Folds her dark wings and hoarsely cries,
"Too whoot ! too whop!
I know where ghosts walk, do not you?"
Darker and still more dark
• The_shadows gather fast,
And noiseless steps and tall forms stark
Move like a shadow past.
Old age comes first, with thin white hair,
And blear and soar on his brow so bare;
And the old owl stops his chant to look ;
Bat his mate croaks on from her mossy nook,
" Too whoot ! too whoo!
I know where ghosts haunt, do not you ?"
There's youth, once young and strong,
And manhood staid and wise ;
But'tales of sin, and woe, and wrong,
Flash from their blood-shot eyes !
But scowls are on each one's fair face.
And only the tempter's'mark you trace
On the brow where kisses were wont to rest;
But the owl sings on fy‘aii her mossy nest,
"Too wlibot ! too whoo !
I know where ghosts haunt, do not you?"
Around the festal board
Gather the ghastly band,
And up to the brim the rum is poured
By many a palsied hand.
And each one drinks with horrid cheer,
And each one speaks with a haughty sneer
And laugh, and jest, and oath are heard ;
But the owl chants on, with heart unstirred,
" Lt Too whoot ! too whoa!
I know where ghosts dwell, do not you?"
Then cometh another band :
There is IVOMAN, robed in white,
And kindly the touchof a gentle hand
Rests on each shoulder light.
The mother, the sister, the wife are there—
The daughter with white lips moved in prayer;
And the owl stops with a stare so grim,
That his mate half pauses to look at him :
Too whoot! too whoo!
I know whore ghosts walk, do not you?"
There is childhood, fair and pure
As the first wild flowers of spring,
With a trusting heart that will endure
Through wrong, through everything :
And round the neck are soft arms thrown;
But not the tear, the kiss, the moan,
Can melt the heart where the serpent lies!
And the owl chants on with calm, cold eyes,
Too cahoot! too whoo!
I know where ghots haunt, do not you?"
In vain—it is all in vain
Tears cease in mute despair,•
What power can whisper of hope again ?
All, all is anguish there;
And the slight forms sink 'neath the heavy blow,
Lips pale, and faces as white as snow,
And blood-drops stain the golden hair,—
And the owl's voice dies in echo, there,
" Too whoot ! too whoo !
I know where ghosts dwell, do not you ?"
The night had lost her crown,
Behind the forest green—
Softly the young Moon hath gone down,
To slumbers most serene.
The forms fade out in the empty air,
And the owl sits mute with a solemn stare,
Then starts and flies with heavy wings,
While his ghastly bride but once more sings,
"Too whoot ! too whoo !
I know wherh ghosts dwell, do not you?"
THE LAWYER'S OLD DESK
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS
several years ago it was my fate to
reside, for a few months during the spring
and summer, in the uninteresting little
town of B—, New Jersey. I never
shall forget the sleepy quiet of the spot,
ncfr the stupid solemnity of its inhabitants.
The houses, all alike, and unshaded by
tree or shrub, stood in formal rows, like a
line of dominoes after a recently finished
game. The sun beat down upon them all
day long, and seemed to have peeled the
skin off the staring red roofs, so raw and
glowing did they appear. In every garden
lines of wet linen were perpetually hang
ing out to dry, and every parlor window
was perpetually closed. Walking through
the streets, morning or afternoon, a stran
ger's general impre,sion would have been
that every housekeeper in the place had
just finished her washing and was laying
down to take a nap. The only buildings
of importance in the place were the school
house and the meeting-house, and the only
amusements not considered sinful were
scandal and donation parties and sewing
societies.
The house we inhabited was large and
old-fashioned. Its last tenant had been,
it was said, a lawyer ; a grave-stone in the
churchyard near by bore his name, and up
in an unused room on the upper floor stood .
an old desk, which was said to have been
. 4 1r.is property. One day when the town
stltmed sleepier than usual, and I was
doomed to several hours of lonelinpss,
aLzended to the apartment where this
ancient article of furniture was placed, and
began listlessly to gaze from the window
which overlooked the whole place, and even
a.distalt farm-house or two. There being
no seat in-the room, I perched myself upon
the desk which I have mentioned, and, to
prevent myself from slipping off, rested
my hand upon a little moulding which
ornamented the back. I had not remained
in this position many moments, when a
sharp pain caused me to start suddenly,
and, looking down to examine the cause, I
observed a little spring, half-hidden by the
carving which surrounded it. I had seen
a spring like this before, and, knowing
what it purported, I eagerly pressed it
with my finger, and opened by its aid a
little secret drawer, of the existence of
which I had never before had the slightest
suspicion. In this drawer were several
papers and a small kid bag. The latter I
opened immediately, and found it contained
the miniature of a female and a lock of
curly hair.
With my curiosity aroused, I seized my
treasure, and, running down to my own
little room, closed the door, and seating
myself in my little rocking-chair, began
to examine it at my leisure. The portrait
was that of a very young and- lovely girl,
whose hair corresponded to that of the
-curly- tress which lay beside it. The
papers were four in number: two were
little - notes of invitation, written in a
_lively, familiar manner, beginning,
4 Dear
".Mark,' and ending, Your cousin Stella ;'
the third was a scrap of poetry in the same
band, and the fourth was a manuscript in
large, business-like characters, but evi-
Wendy not a legal or business document.
Manuscript—at least, any except my own
--aliisys fascinates me, and I composed
myself for the' perusal of this waif of my
ownonding. The paper was old and
selini, the characters faded by time, but,
by dint of perseverance, I at length de
:Ophergd it. It was as follows :
STELLA
true and perfect love, is not the
- *l4l,..timpestuqus, stormly feeling which
l*lietfrit to be Love whielxreally,
-Ana,
softly ; not the loud and glittering ripple
and wavelet on the shore of life, but
rather the resistless undercurrent—more
like a quiet, undemonstrative giant than a
noisy, passsionate, hot-brained little dwarf.
Love will sacrifice itself for the happiness
of the beloved object—separation, nay
even death, cannot end its life. An ever
burning lamp in the unseen innermost of
the heart, its very existence is often un
known save to the vestal soul which trims
and watches it.
Stella! Stella! loved of my youth and
age, lost forever here, but garnered up for
me among the gems of heaven, dost thou
know now, in that bright sphere to which
the-angels bore thee long ago, how well I
loved thee '
I pause and start ! The moon, falling
through my study window, lights up the
mirror upon the wall, and reveals to me
my own reflection. I see an old man, grey
haired and careworn ; not " feeble or
decrepit yet, but past the bleised age of
sentiment and romance—the spring and
summer time, which Byron calls the
passionate part of life.' A fitting person,
truly, to write and speak of love, a
proper hero for a love tale.' Yet I, Mark
Ashford, sitting. here in my lonely study,
with law books piled about me, with noth
ing near me which does not speak of dry
business and money transactions, could
write a love tale from the memories of my
old heart which might put to shame the
records in the lives of younger men on
whom the whole world looks as heroes.
Come, old goose-quill, there are no briefs
or deeds upon the desk—there is no case
for you to draw up to-night—Doe vs. Roe
can lay over until to-morrow—let me use
you for myself for once ; open for me the
closed tombs of the past, and record the
dead feelings and actions which time has
hurried there. Stella, bright star of my
boyhood ! how sweetly your picture seems
to smile upon me. You look now as you
did upon that autumn day when I first met
you, and when you gave me your soft hand
so frankly, and called me Cousin Mark for
the first time.
She wasvery beautiful, not only to my
own eyes, but to those of every one who
gazed upon her; but I did not love her
for her beauty only, it was her heart and
soul which won me. Heaven knows that
if every charm had vanished from her face
and form, she would still have been as
precious to me. Before she came to dwell
among us I had known that she was
betrothed to another, and she was too pure
and frank to make a secret of the fact.
She spoke of Edward Waring (an officer
in the navy, and who was at that time
absent on a three years' cruise) with the
simple confidence of a child, and would
run joyously to tell us of the receipt of a
letter from her absent lover ; and yet,
despite this knowledge, despite the fact
that she regarded me.almost as a brother,
the love I felt for her grew, against my
will, to be the master passion of my soul.
I never breathed one word of its intensity
to living mortal ; and she little knew, as
she leant in sisterly confidence upon my
arm, that I was praying all the while for
strength to hide my love from her • sweet,
truthful eyes. . .
Time passed on, and the hour of Edward
Waring's return drew nigh. I heard from
my sister that the day for the wedding was
already fixed upon. Soon visions of white
satin and orange flowers were often revealed
to me through an accidentally opened
window, and I knew that beneath busy
fingers and flying needles Stella's bridal,
dress was growing to perfection. Yet now,
for the first time since I had known her,
Stella was sad and abstracted. For hours
she would sit alone watching the sky, or
looking into the far distance with some
thing like fear upon her face. None
seemed to see the alteration save myself ;
but a lover's eyes are far-seeing, and I
had watched her face Qo long and so fondly.
Going to her one day, as she lingered
upon the piazza, I spoke of this sadness,
and asked her, as a brother might, its
cause.
Mark, you will laugh at me if I tell
you" she replied. lt,is very foolish, and
lam ashamed to speak of it. I—l have
had a terrible dream, cousin, and I cannot
shake off its influence.'
4 A dream ! Tell it to me, Stella, that
I may interpret it,' I said laughingly.
Dreams always go by contraries, you
know; a terrible dream will certainly
br,ing the best of good fortune to the
dreamer.'
Stella shook her head. I wish that I
could think so,' she said. 41 know that I
am very childish, but since that dream my
presentiments of evil have been almost
more than I can bear. I fear—oh ! I fear,
Mark, that I shall never see Edward
again.' She buried her face in her hands
for one moment, and then raised it again,
covered with tears. I dreamt that we
were walking together in a wood,' she
said, speaking in a low, tremulous tone—
you and your sister, and Edward and l—
and that at a turning in the path we came
suddenly to the bank of a river; a willow
tree bent over the water, and close beside
it a little boat was tied. We were laugh
ing and talking merrily, when suddenly I
felt my blood curdling in my veins, and
knew that something unearthly was at my
side. I turned with a shudder, and saw
a huge black thing, with wings, holding a
long lance in his skeleton hand. A good
place to make a grave,' he whispered.—
, Look ! a good place to make a grave.'—
He pointed to the willow tree, and there I
saw a grave dug. I screamed and turned
towards Edward, but he was not there. I
strove to fly, but the .day had suddenly
.grown dark, and I could not find my way,
nor see anything but the gaunt figure at
my side, and, with a feeling of despair I
cannot even bear to remember, I seemed
to swoon away. Oh, Mark ! I fear that
dream foretold my Edward's doom. Think
of the perils of the ocean and.of the sword !
I cannot rest nor sleep. I shall die if he
does not come soon !
Again she wept, and I soothed her,
telling her that death meant marriage, and
laughing at her superstition, yet feeling a
strange foreboding at my own heart.
The days passed slowly by, but brought
no sorrow. One bright morning, a ringing
step was heara upon the pathway, a clear,
manly voice sounded through the hall, and
Stella wept , with joy upon her lover's
bosom. lie was there—he was safe ; she
had no fear now—her dream was forgotten
in the living vision of present and future.
A few days more and I had listened to
the words which_ made my Stella another's.
I had been the first to salute her as a bride
and I thanked my God:that He only read
.the osigttiali: or my'donl. •
"THAT COUNTRY IB TEI MOST PROSPIELOTTR wicess LABOR OOKHANOS TEI GBIATIST BZWABD."-
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1860.
She was to leave us soon, and one pleas
ant afternoon we walked out- towards the
woods for the last time—Stella leant upon
her happy husband's arm, and I followed
with my sister. I had fallen into a reverie,
from which I was aroused by Edward
Waring's voice.
A boat !' he cried. 4 A boat ! Now,
if we can find the owner, we may have a
glorious sail. Whose is it I—do any of
you know V
It is Mr. Brown's,' said my sister,'stooping to examine a name upon the post
to which it was chained. s He is a friend
of ours, and will lend us the key with
pleasure. Yonder is his house among the
trees ; I will go and borrow it for you.'
Away she tripped, and Edward Waring
followed her. I'll be back in a moment,'
he said ; don't run away with my wife
while lam gone, Mark.' And he looked
back laughingly, as he vanished through
the bushes.
He had scarcely gone when -a low peal
of thunder broke upon our ears. I looked
up at the sky ; it was fast clouding over.
' We are to have a storm,' I said.—
' The boat will be of no use to us. I wish
they would come back.'
Stella turned as I spoke, and her face
grew deadly pale. Mark ! Mark !' she
gasped ; call him back ! Quickly, cousin
—quickly.'
Are you afraid of the storm ?' I said.
She pointed to the boat and the tree
near it, in answer. My dream 1' she
murmured. My dream! Do you remem
ber it ?'
As she spoke a flash of lightning gleamed
upon the horizon, and another and a
heavier peal of thunder drowned her
'Edward! oh, Edward! come back—
come back !' she sobbed.
But he was beyond the reach of her
sweet voice, that voice which he was never
to hear again—no, never ! for as she knelt
beneath that willow, praying for his safety,
the lightning flashed again, and the thun
der's awful voice was heard once more ;
and when silence reigned again, and I
recovered from the stunning effects of a
deafening crash, I knew not where, which
flung me prostrate on the ground, I saw
her lying, pale and ghastly, with a black
mark upon her bosom, beneath the riven
tree, where I had last seen her, praying.
For the first time in my life I folded her
in my arms. Upon those lifeless lips I
pressed passionate kisses ; into those
closed ears I poured wild protestations of
love; close, close, I pressed that seared
bosom to my own, and wildly moaned as I
felt the soft hand growing cold and hard
as marble.
They found me afterwards, wandering
in the woods, carrying her in my arms,
and raving like a maniac. They say that
I was mad for weeks; but I have lost no
remembrance of that day, nor of the hor
rible despair of the young bridegroom's
face, as he looked upon his sweet wife's
pulseless form. He wept; he mourned—
aye, mourned sincerely—but not as I did.
Friends sympathized with him, and knew
nothing of my sorrow ; but as years passed
on I could see that his old buoyancy
returned, that• he was young and glad
again.
One night—ah ! many years ago—when
Stella had been dead five summers, I sat
beside her grave, weeping, and watched
the lights gleaming from the windows of
a stately mansion near at hand—lights
which shone upon the fair face of another
bride whom Edward Waring had wooed
and won. Yes, he whom she had loved so
well, and trusted in so fondly, had wed
another; and I, whose love she never
guessed, sat there, in the still, star-lit
summer night, and wept upon her grave—
the grave which my hand, and mine only,
still decks with flowerets not half so pure
and sweet as the fair bud so early laid
beneath the sod.
In heaven she will be mine ! Yes sweet
angel, in dreams I hear the promise. I
have been constant to her each moment of
my sad life ; and when, this fitful fever
past, I join the dead ones gone before to
the spirit world, I know she will be the
first of all to meet me, and together we
shall know the bliss of perfect love, un
marred by death or parting !
The tale was done : softly and reverent
ly I folded up the paper, and replaced all
in the secret drawer once more. Then,
stealing out towards the grave-yard, I
sought the lawyer's grave, and found it.
Close beside, with a creeping rose still
clinging about its time-stained marble,
was another stone, marked 'STELLA
WAILING !'
A dandy negro stepped into a store to
buy some potatoes ; but before purchasing
he delivered the following on the nature
of the root : De tater he am inewitably

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Come sit by me, Katy, and tell me
Of what he was talking last night,
When you stood at the gate till the moonbeams
Had quenched all the stars with their light?
You came back with cheeks glowing crimson,
And eye-lashes glittering with tears,
And a smile, which, half sad, half triumphant,
Still over your sweet mouth appears.
Did he talk of the beauty of summer?
Or praise the wild rose's perfume ?
Or speak of our arbors so rustic,
Where woodbine and jessamine bloom ?
"He told you a story !" Oh! Did he?
Well, Katy dear, tell it to me.
" You've almost forgot it ?" Already !
How very much flattered he'd be!
You say that you " think I may guess it !"
Yes, Katy, the story I know :
'Tie an old tale, yet always a sweet one,
I'm certain you found it so.
'Twaa new in the first days of Adam,
When; wandering through Eden's fair bowers,
In Eve's little ear it was whispered,
While she, blushing, played witlk the flowers.
You are blushing too; what is the matter? -
Why, what are you orying about?
Your grandfather told your grandmother
The very same story no doubt.
Just three little words tell this story—
What thousands of hearts they have thrilled!
How many with joy they have gladdened!
How many with sorrow they have filled!
These the little words are: "I Love You!"

Circuses : and What is Done in
Them.
Subsequently to visiting a theatre the
other night, we met a friend to whom, in
the course of conversation, we confided
the important secret of a weakness that
we had for Sports of the Arena,' coupled
with a confession of our having just come
from enjoying the same.
We only wish, though,' we remarked,
by way of finishing a sentence, that they
would do away with the performing animal.'
Oh ! you do wish that V said he, in a
way that made us feel vaguely guilty of
having done something wrong.
4 Why yes,' we resumed, rather hesitat
ingly ; we never feel quite easy on the
subject of the orchestra when unreliable
quadrupeds, like elephants and rhinocer
oses, are allowed to run loose about the
ring within a few feet of the musicians'
heads. There's no knowing what dangerous
sentiment of hostility might suddenly be
provoked in the minds of such beasts,
against the proceedings of the cornet a
piston, or what might be their opinion re
garding a peculiarly" brilliant solo on the
ophieleide.'
Have you no other objection V asked
our inquisitorial acquaintance, with the
same unpleasant manner as before.
Well, yes,' we replied, there's the
danger to the exhibitors, you know. Some
months ago, if you remember, a certain
well known Circus proprietor and self
styled Tamer of the Brute Creation' was
tossed and severely injured by the 'lntel
ligent Mastodon,' on whose head he was
endeavoring to stand , in a state of trium
phant tableau.'
I only wish it had killed him !' ex
claimed our friend, with an excitement that
he never exhibits, unless under the in
fluence of strong emotion.
Good Heavens !' cried we, killed
whom—which—what 1'
g Why the human brute, I mean,' said
he, g of course.'
- What !we rejoined, in a burst of in
dignation, do you
r rnean—you sanguinary
ruffian—that you wish the rhin—that is,
'lntelligent Mastodon '—had killed Mr.
, we should say, his talented and
popular trainer ?'
I do, by Heaven !' replied our friend ;
4 and, what's more, if I had it in my power,
I'd throw every Lion King' into the cage
with his beasts, unarmed, just at the time
when the monarchs of the forest and jungle
were pretty nearly hungry enough to eat
each other, and not by any means in the
humor to hesitate long about experimenting
on the qualities of the human body as an
article of food, even though it might be the
body of their familiar tyrant and torturer !
As it is, I'd give fifty dollars any time to
seQ a talking' or dancing' horse kick
its teacher's brains out ; and I'd walk as
many miles to have the pleasure of watch
ing a sagacious elephant trample into a
pancake the wretch who amuses himself by
driving a three-inch spike into the poor
animal's flesh, or by cutting him in the
open mouth with a heavy-riding whip.'
But you are mistaken,' we began to
urge. Do you not know that all these
poor animals,' as you call them, are
trained upon a system of tender kindness
and mild coercion only to be equalled in a
first class ladies' school, conducted on the
moral suasion principle ? Don't you know
that the talking' horse is induced to
- ascend and descend a flight of steep stairs
at the word of command, entirely by means
of pieces of carrot or apple; and that
when he is being put through his rehears
als, his master invariably looks up every
whip in the place, to avoid being betrayed,
by sudden irritation, into anything like
harshness towards the docile creature ?
Don't you know that the , elephants and
rhinoceroses and camels and lioni and
tigers, are captured when very young, and
are gradually led—by being nursed in their
keepers' laps, softly scratched behind the
ears by their keepers' fingers, rewarded for
good behavior with choice fruits or extra
allowance of beef, and punished only with
a switch that our own children would laugh
at as an instrument of torture--to regard
t'heir keeper with an absorbing affection
that enables them to interpret and anxi
ously desire to execute the slightest wish
their keepers may entertain 1'
We are sorry to say that at this point of
the discussion, our friend suddenly explod
ed into a paroxysm of powerful—not to
say slightly blasphemous—denunciation of
all things equestrian, acrobatic, or in any
way connected with the circus business,
declaring that every travelling show was
no better than a circulating Pandemonium,
and that the daring horsemen, menagerie
people, gymnastic professors, clowns, hu
morists, and all other persons, whatsoever,
engaged therein, were so "many incarnate
devils.
6 I traveled with a circus once, for over
six months,' he went on to say, as he re
lapsed into his usual cool and decorous be
havior ; I was infernally hard up, when I
happened to have thrown in my way a
chance for an engagement to do part of
the agency business of a large concern,
just starting for the West and North OIF
the Summer campaign. I had considera
ble power of imagination, and enough lit
erary ability to write puffs and advertise
ments ; so I accepted the situation: We
hadn't been three weeks out, before I
wished I had tried to get a place as light
porter in a dry goods store, or something
of the kind—anything, indeed, I should
have preferred to associating with the peo
ple I found myself thrown amongst. The
life was a very hard one, in the first place,
though that I didn't mind. But the hor
rible cruelties I saw daily practiced on
animals and children use to rouse me to
such pitches of horror and indignation,
that it was only by painful efforts of self
control that I restrained myself from dash
ing out the brains of certain parties—
whose names yin are well acquainted with,
through the medium of gorgeous posters—
with an iron tent-pin, or anything else that
came to hand. There was Buggins, the
excruciating jester, comic equestrian, and
subduer of the wild denizens of the
forest.' Do you know how Buggins tamed
his rhinoceros. Hitting the wretched
beast over the head with iron bars, till
they bent, was one of the mildest forms of
persuasion adopted by Buggins. Running
iron goads, three inches long, into the soft
flesh behind the ear, was regarded' by Bug
gins as little more than an impressive
mode of ,tickling the intelligent monster.
But Buggins' great feat in the torturing
line of business was a dexterous way he
had of fliokling his whip into his unwieldy
victim's eye. That hgregarded as a mas 7
ter;pieee - of ingenions . punishinintj lie_

used to practice it even at evening perform
ances, in the presence of the public.'
But it must have destroyed' the sight,'
we exclaimed.
• Of course it did,' rejoined our friend ;
but it made the rhinoceros mind ; and
,that's all Bogging, and the pious folks who
won't go to a theatre, but think there is no
harm in the circus, care about.'
Bat,' we venturedto say, we were not
such miscreants as Buggins.'
Buggins was a paragon of friendliness
and mercy, compared to Bill Jones, one of
the : proprietors,' was our friend's reply.
I recollect one morning, Jones was try
ing to teach a gray mare—such a pretty
creature—to keep in the circle. She had
never seen sawdust before ; was a little
skittish—intractable. Over and over
again did Jones lash her with a heavy
whip, till you could see little streaks of
blood showing up through the glossy hair
of her coat. Frightened to death at such
treatment, she jumped round just as he
started her off again, and fell out of the
ring. Jones rushed up to her like a
demon, beat her over the head and neck
with the butt end of his whip, and after
wards with an iron bar as thick as your
two thumbs, till she got down on her
knees, and whinnied for mercy, the blood
all the while bursting out of her ears, eyes
and nostrils.'
Good God !' we cried, did nobody
try to stop the wretch 1'
Stop him ! Why, his father-in-law
stood by, applauding him ; hounding him
on with, g Give it her, Bill ! give it her !'
g His father-in-law ?'
C Well, not his father-in-law then ; but,
since that time, Bill married the daughter.
Ah ! you should have seen that poor
child trained. I have been told, by those
who traveled with the family, that she
was naturally timid. She is considered
to-day one of the most daring horsewomen
in the world. Her courage was flogged
into her: She was whipped np to the
balancing point—lashed through every
position of classic gracefulness she now
assumes with so much apparent ease.—
She was a pretty little girl, and occasion
ally their would be remonstrances against
her father's cruelty. All the worse for
her, poor child, for then her mother would
snatch up the whip, and cut her to pieces,
out of blieer spite at being interfered with.
I often wonder whether Bill Jones keeps
up the system of discipline resorted to her
father and mother, from her cradle up
ward She must have become so accus
tomed to it, one would think, as to feel
quite uncomfortable under any other sort
of treatment.'
And do you mean to say,' we asked,
that all children are taught to be acro
bats and equestrians in such a revolting
way?'
No,' our, friend replied ; oh, no !'
Some like it—have good nerves, naturally
—emulate each other—and would become
excellent performers, almost without tui
tion. But they are the exceptions. Take
Signor Smitherini, for instance, and his
wonderful sons.' Did you ever see them
do the double trapeze, or go through a
series of gymnastic evolutions, a la Ris
ley.' if you knew how their poor little
bodies ached and smarted with the flog
gings they had in the morning, at rehear
sal, you wouldn't enjoy their extraordina
ry feats of agility and youthful strength'
half so much as you do. Bill Jones was
awfully hard on his pupils. He wouldn't
even let them practice on a mattrass.
They had to do it in the ring ; sometimes
in country places, where we couldn't get
sawdust enough to put a layer of three
inches of it on the hard ground. And
Heaven help those luckless boys; when
Bill took it into his head to come and
watch them do their lessons in physical
developement. I need only tell that he
was muscular, singularly skilful in the
management of a whip, and that his
pupils were costumed in the thinnest of
shirts and drawers.'
But, perhaps,' we suggested, ' these
were exceptions with which you met.'
6 No,' said our friend we changed por
tions of our company, over and over again,
during the summer ; we were engaging
and discharging people all the while, but
I never saw much difference amongst
them.'
4 And the Talking Horse'?"
'Has scars on him now, to testify to the
brutality of his training.'
And the Intelligent Mastodon ?"
' Whose size, compared to that of the
horse, is not equal to the greater propor
tion of torture that he has endured.'
c And c Little Angelina, the Fairy
Child ?"
4 Why, the last time you saw her she
was riding a balky horse. Every time the
horse changed its gait, it was as much as
she could do to keep her balance. Her
father was ring -master, and, as he saw
the danger she was in produce an expres
sion of pain upon her face, he—'
Took her away, of course,' said we.
He growled to her, between his teeth,
Smile !' (with an oath) smile, or I'll cut
your (another oath) legs off!' Aye,- the
next time she involuntarily looked sacred
again, he did cut her too. The audience
didn't notice it, but a member of the
company did, and 1 heard him relate the
story as a good joke.
Horrible !' cried we. But the educa
ted ponies, that we see go through their
tricks with such seeming good-humor.'
Do you recollect,' rejoined our friend,
A how enraged you told me you felt one
night, at the Broadway Theatre, when
you saw one of the clowns there make a
pony kneel down, by fairly hammering its
shins from under it
We do recollect.
And the audience applauded, eh
We nodded,
And they laughed like mad men when
the elephant shrieked 1 ,
Certainly.'
Do you think,' said our friend, they
would have laughed so heartily, had they
seen the keeper goad him in a raw wound
under the ear, to make him produce that
comical sound 7'
We were horribly disgusted with the
revelations we had heard, and beseeched
our friend to postpone the subject.
I will,' he assented ; but first tell me
did you stop to-night to see Van Am
burgh's Menagerie V
No,' I answered, I always did object
to that part of the circus -business, since I
read The Wandering Jew, and how Morok
used to tame his lions-and tigers, and his
famous black panther, with red and white
hot irons.' Surely, such barbarity as that
must have had its being only in, the dis.
eased iinaginatipn of algugenellue:
Ah ! poll think that, eh i Well, let
me tell you that beasts of such kind can
be tamed with ' - red-hot iron—and with
nothing else !'
But you don't mean—' we were about
to exclaim.
g Yon asked me to change the subject,'
said our friend : I will. I feel hungry.
Let us have some supper.'
