boors SINCLUX
A FIGHT WITH A WILD 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 jun
gles and African deserts had contrib..
uted, clergymen and others were cor
dially invited to witness the trained
lion and the lamb lying down togeth
er, and particularly to inspect the
pictures upon the flags of the various
stages, which were nothing' less than
scenes :row the Holy Scriptures, con.,,
stunting, on the whole, an illustrative
Bible Show.
Of the performance, of which I am
particularly speaking, the last item
bad been descrihted. in Opt advertise
ment as the " Terrible Exploits of
Bartonro in the Den of Wild Beasts;"
the capitals bad.been thrilling. Ac
cordingly, after a sufficient quantity
of little boys bad been thrown by the
horse; an enormous carriage, that fill
ed nearly half the space, was slowly
wheeled upia . the scene, the sides
were let down, aid the Den of Wild
Beats was disclosed.
It was in three compartments, with
strong parti lons made of lattice-work
of iron bare between them. In the
first one, some leopards and a Bengal
tiger of gre•st beauty were roaming
restlessly mind, up and down, in and
oat, -round :old about, in a way to
make one's heart ache. In the cen•
tral compar+ meat a lion was striding
up and down, lashi ng . Lis tail about;
while his li nese, lying in one corner
with her two whelps fawning around
her, looked with complacent curiosity
st the crowd who returned her gaze,
But when the lids were let down from
the last compartment, all thought of
the Occupants of the other two vitas
for a moment forgotten, as the im
mense and single lion within that one
sprang upon his hind legkt,, pawing 4
the side of "the cage, ha if he- would
break through and hound out upon
us, and tilted eg simultaneously a roar
that resounded and reverberated from
side to side and made every heart
stand still. *-
We were almost decorouslyplaced
on the tiers of seats, but at the sound
and the sight the whole audience
shook a little cloier together; and
for my part, never liking such scenes
as this prontisud to be, I bad risen to
go•
" Never miod," said my a extpanion
to me, as I excitedly eignified mywish
to hasa.n off ; " it's a trifling thing
enough—the creatures are gorged
with IcoOd and dandled from their
birth ;, the exhibitor is in no danger."
" You are Mistaken, sir," said one
of the group of bystanders. 11 In the
first two cages they are certainly Wine
enough ; but the last beast 1a the
true Nemm.,, raging for his liberty,
as ready to rend a man to atoms as
ever his wildest ancestor was."
" Then why is he in that cage, sir?"
I asked, shivering beneath the blase
of those eyeballs like coals.
" He was only •added to the collec
tion a few hours since," said another
gentleman at my side. "Some sailors
brought him home on thick owa ac
count ; the ship happened to arrive in
harbor this morning, just as the me
nagerie was setting up its tent; the
sailors lost no time in making their,
bargain, and the animal 'was trans
ferred immediately ; but an injury
happening to .his own car . , he was
temporarily shut into thys one, till
better accommodations cOnld be ar
ranged, I believe."
"Oh, without doubt."
" And then the exhibitor does not
venture into that compartment?" _
" Not unless he is insane, I fancy{"
" AL
~ what a roar I It is thunder's ,
self."
"Possibly he has not been fed to
day."
" I think we had better go," I said.
"It realty makes me M.".
" indeed," n as the response I
met with. "If there is going to be
anything -notional, let no have the
benefit of it I"
" Bfit it seems to me the exhibitor
is not ready; I do believe he is afraid
himself."
" He has eveceasion," said the sec•
and bystander again. "In spite of
our friend's opinion of the beast, un
less the exhibit. )r 'should ppen the door
of the third cage there is absolutely
not a shadow of danger." •
" And if he ehonid
Why then I imagine be
,emul!l
- get hie deserts 1"
"The lion would, at any rate," re.
joined my companion.

colmen; it is the torso of a , hero:
Was he put together in :that splendid
way, I wonder, for-nothing else than
to play with kittens r
He was a Picture as he fronted M , ;
the two leopards stood with spew on
either shoulder, the spots seeming to
waver in
-their supple sides like the
sparks and
-glows in half blackened
fire brands, while the tiger bounded
to and fro over the switch he held for
him, as if his sleet• curves were Made
of nothing but caoutchona. It was
plain that the. creatures loved the
man ; they reached out their - long
rough tongues and licked him,—be
had fed them and tended them, and
was to them their only visible irovi
dence.
As I thought- thus, Bartonro flung
aside the first partition of iron bars,
.ith a thrust, and was in the central
cage, stepping quickly Lathe lioness
and switching her till she rose upon
her feet, catching the little cubS iu
his irms, and throwing them about
like juggler's balls, calling the lion
to his side and lying down bt tweeu
them ail, as if for peaceful repose in
the bosom of his family. Mt anwhile
the tiger came and stretched himself
At his feet, and" one of the leopards
amused himself with boxing au im
pertinent little cub, while another
leopard retired to the farthest corner
of the cage, and appeared to - keep
watch like Csentinel over the domes
tic scene. It wit', after all, a chirm
ing sight ; and the place- rang with
plaudits. _
Suddenly, the dauntless . Bartouro
- sprang to his feet, bowed again to,
the audience, stepped - and threw open
the list partition. My tongue chive
to the roof of my month with horror i
the whole amphitheatre hung upon
one breath. The three apartments
were now a single cage alone—but
the animals iu the llret portion' hur
riedly huddled themselves together
in the remotest part, cowering and
whining and trembling abjectly.
But with a magnificent fearless
ness, Bartouro trod swiftly towards
the lion, who still stood erect, holding
bybis tremendous paws to the side
of thecage, hie huge black mane tie
ing and bristling around him as if in

" Come back 1 Fur.GiA's sake, come
back I" cried the ring master, darting
across the arena towards the cage.
"It is the lion, wild from the. woods.
You are a dead man 1"
The whole audience .rose. Oh, the
cruel hamisome faces of those dea.i
and gone Raman women I these were
not their gh6sts. But Bartouro did
not vouchsafe him a glance--only he
trod swiftly forward, and struck the
great beast a tingling blow in the
face,
It was the death-Clow mrage.
The lion, amazed for one heart=beat,
with the nest did notpause to crouch
ere springing, but had thrown him
self in one mass upon Bartow°, who
tottered audfell, bat rose again, and
lifted hie arms, that were like springs
of steel, to' thruSt the beast away.
Then as if lightning fell, the arms
dropped powerless, the man sank
slowly down; his eyes wide open and
staring on .the lion, his ' face whiter
than ashes, blo od pouring along
- his side in a scarlet torrent
Women were fainting now in the
audience, children were Shrieking,
men were springing forward ; the
people of the menagerie were running
to get some weapon, an aze,,a pistol,
anything ; there was not' one who
dared to cuter the-cage and snatch
his prey from the'dreadfal thing which
would devour it before out very eyes
for all we knew, and 'which dragged
it a few steps, and thorn settled him-
self upon it with a growl like the
rumble of an earthquake—while Bar.
touro gazed up; at him, the color now
of a corpse tong dead, and utterly,
patalyzed•and insensible alike to paid
or terror in the lethargy of the beast's
benumbing stroke.
Alt at once, in that breathless in

COIMMUNICATED:
Mezzos, Sensation, and Thought, are the
three physiological functions. of a - nervous
system: The two first manifest themselves
through the simplest fqym of nervous or
rangement,—an individual nerve aro.
nerve 'are is a minute reservoir of nerve
force, with its attendant nerves of sensation
and motion. Phe one transmits a sensation
to the reservoir of force, the other sends off
the force where is required. • -
Thisapparatus for the propagation of
nerve force, is all the'lOwec animals require.
It answers all their wants. Ever busy and
active, they' seem to enjoy their existencein
seeking their food and multiplying their
kind, and when we say that thousands Of
millions of these little creatures swarm in
the elements with no other nerve system to
connfact . themselves with the world they '
inhabit, we are within the truth.
4Laianitaal organization develops into a
higher class of living beibgs, we find the
syste* of nerve force becoming more per :,
fact, yat it is still based on the unity with
which it commenced. It is atill a nerve aro
—it is still a reservoir of nerve force, with
its nerve of Sensation and of motion. But
as organization advances the arcs are mul
tiplied. they are strung together by cora
missures, making a limited system for the
propagation of nerve influence, and they
supply many organs, 'binding them togeth
er in a chain of nervous sympathy.
Ascending again to the nett higher class,
we see the development of a nervous appar
atus still more complex, and. yet more C 0312
plete. It is that of a spine and brain. We
have now come to the Vertebrates, (and as
man belongs to that Clais,) , to the'most per
fect organization of nerve matter. In the
lowest order of thiti highest class, that of
Fishes, we find a rudimentary brain, formed
by two small nerve -arcs placed upon the
top of the spiral! column. Here we first notice
a quality of nerve force above the automa
tic. It •is the first faint, feeble; imperfect
glimmering of consciousness and thought—
the first perception of the creators ofa world
above and beyond its own. • This brain -in
the lowest order of the class vertebrates,' en
largo by accretion and aggregation of brain
matter and by developments of more com
plex parts, until it becomes the perfect brain
of man.
But it is said that organizations below that
in which we place consciousness and thought
often manifest a will, a choice, and are
therefore capable wf thought. This we
call instinct. But whatever it is called, t
is neither will,_ nor choice, nor thought.
These latter qualities of nerve force are all
intellectual, and are born only from a per
brain, for Only a perfect brain of a com•
pier organization can elaborate them. - We
may as well expect the rocks to think, and
(setting poetry and Shakapeare aside) the
atones to preach, as to find thought beiow
a properly constituted brain. Thought, con
sciousness, will, in short, all the intellectual
manifestations of brain forca, require refers
tera of impreosiona, convolutions of brain
surface, and a circulation yielding phOspho
rug, for their elaboration.
The motions We call instinctive originate
in the nerve arcs. They serve the lower
orders in place of thought and , reason, and
as they are the lowest manifestations of a
sentient life, so they spring from the lowest
organisations. But we are not to assume
that min has no instincts because he has a
well-develbpe.3 brain. He has many, and
when they appear, he is living in his lower
life, in the lite of the polyphus or worm, for
in all his pride of intellect, helms the worm's,
organization still within. •Isis higher or
ganization is based upon his lower organiza
tion, 'his higher life is based upon his lower
life, His higher organizationand life have
not titisplaced the lower organization - and
life—they the former, are Superadditions,
supplements to the lowir, and She Riveter
include the less.
Now let us remember that the single nerve
arc is the type of all nervous structure,
whether in the _lower or higher organiza
tions. The human brain is therefore a great
and controlling nerve aro, made up of many
others, and dominating them all. Besides
exercising a sway over all the functions of
animal life, whether voluntary or involun
tary, it is the instrument the acid uses in
conversing with nature. It stands between
two worlds, the material and the immaterial,
and influences them bOth.
