HUMBLE LIFE- Tell me not that he's a poor man, That his dress is coarse and bare ; Tell me not his daily pittance Is a workman's scanty faro. Tell me not his birth is bumble, That bis parentage is low ; Is he honest in bis actions? That is all L want to know. Is his word to be relied on t j Has his character no blame ? Then 1 care not if he's low born Then 1 catt not whence his name. Would he from an unjust action Turn away with scornful eye? Would he, then, defraud another ? Sooujr on the scaffold die. Would he spend his hard-gained earnings On a brother in distress ? Would he sucoor the ofilietcd And the weak one's wrongs redress? Then he is a man deserving Of my love and uiy esteem, . .And I care not what his birth-place In the eyes of man may seem. Let it be a low thatched hovel Let it be a clay-built cot Let it be the pariah work-house In my eye it matters not. And if others will disown him, As inferior to their caste, I.el litem do it I'll befriend him As a brother to the last. . JttisccILinfous THE MUSICIAN'S MARIJIAfiE. After liariug passed thesunitiicr in vis itiug the principal towns of tJcrmany, the celebrated pianit, Liszt, arrived at Prague in October, 1S45. The next day after lie came apart ment wsh entered by a stranger sn old man, whose appearance indicated misery and suffering. The great musician re ceived Litu with a coidiality which he would not, perhaps, have shewn a u oh Io nian. Encouraged Ly his kindliest', Lis visitor said : "I come to you, sir, as a brother. Ex case me it I take this title, notwithstand ing the distance that divides us ; but for merly I could boast some skill in playinir on a piano, and by giving instructions I gained a comfortable livelihood. Now I am old, foobls, burdoued with a large fam ily, and destitute of pupils. I live at Nutemburg, but I came to Prague to seek to recover the remnant of a small pioper- ty which belonged to my ancestors. Al though nominally successful, the expense of a long litigation has more than swal lowed up the trifling sum I recovered. To day I get out tor home petiniless." "And you have come to nie ? You have done well, and I thauk you for this proof of your esteem. To assist a broth er professor id to mo more than a duty it is a pleasure. Artists should have their purse ia Common j and if i'oituuc neglect some, in order to treat others better than they deserve, it only makes it more neces sary to preserve the equilibrium by fra ternal kindness. That's my system ; so dcu'i speak of gratitude, for I feel that I only discharge a debt." As ho uttered these generous rords, Liszt opened a drawer in his writing case, and started when he saw that this usual depository for his money contained but three ducats. He summoned his servant. ''Where is the money?" he a,skcd. "There, sir," replied the man, pointing to the open drawer. "There ! Why, there's scarcely any thing" 'I know it, sir. If you please to re member, I told you yesterday that the cash was nearly exhausted." 'Yon see, my dear brother," said Liszt, smiling, "that lor a moment I am no rich er than you ; but that docs not troublo me. I have credit, and I can make ready money start from the keys of my piano. However, as you are in haste to leave Prague and return home, you shall not he delayed by my present want of funds.'' So saying he opened another drawer, and taking out a splendid medallion, gave it to the old man. "There," said he, "that will do. It was a present made to me by the Emperor of Austria his own portrait set ia dia monds. The painting is nothing remark able, but the stones are Cue. Take them and dispose t?f them, and whatever they bring shall be yours." The old musician tried in vain to tie- dine so rich a gift Liszt would not hear " tB wrocinT or the iaws. of a refold, and tl Pr tnan length 4 af inwtftltinrv tb iWipilt ( a w I LleSMDa of heaven on bis generous ben- lefactor. He then repaired to the shop of the principal jeweler in the city in order to sell Ue diamonds. Seeing a miserably drcssel man anxious to dispose of mag nificent jewels, with whose value he was unacquainted, the master of the shop very naturaly suspected Lis honesty, aud, while appca;iug to examine the diamonds with clusotlention, whispered a feT words in the ear of on$ of his assistants. The lat ter went out, and ppecdily returned, ac compauied by several soldiers of police, who at rested tbe uuhappy artist in spite of his protestations of innecescc. "Yui must first come to prison," they said, ."afterward you cau give an explana tion to the magistrate." The prisoner wrote a few lines to his benefactor, imploring Lis assistance. Liszt hastened to the jeweler. "i-'ir," eaid he, "you have caused the arrcsLof an inuocant nan.- Ouuie with me immediately, and let us have him re leased. He is the lawful owner of the jewels in question, for I gvc them to l.iui." "Hut, sir," asked tho merchant, "who arc you V "Jly name is Liszt." "I do not know any very rich man of that name " "That may be ; jet I am tolerably well known." "Arc you aware, sir, that these dia monds are worth six thousand florins that is to say, about five hundred guineas, or twelve thousand francs 1" "So iiiucU tho better for Liia on whom I Lave bestowed them." "Hut in order to mako such a present you ntut be very wealthy." "My actual fortune consists of three ducats." "Then you are a magician !" "Jy no means ; aud ye:, by just mov ing my fingers, I can obtain as much money as I desire." "Then you must be a magician !" "If you choose I'll disclose to you the magic I employ." Liszt had seen a piano in the parlor be hind the shop. lie opened it, and ran hi? fingers over the keys ; then, seized by sudden inspiration, he improvised one of those tout-touching symphonies peculiar to himself. As he sounded the first chords, a beau tiful young girl entered the room. While the melody continued she remained speech less and immovable ; then, as the last note died away, eha cried, with irrepressible enthusiasm : "Dravo, Liszt ! 'tis wondrous !" "Dost thou know him, then, my daught er ?" a-.ked the jeweler. "This is the first time that I have had th plcasuro of seeing or hearing him," replied she ; "but I do not know that none living, save Liszt, could draw such sweet sounds from the piano." Expressed with grace and modesty, by a young girl of remarkable beauty, this admiration could not fail to ba more than flattering to the artist. However, after making his best acknowledgments, Liszt withdrew, in order to deliver the prisoner, and was accompanied by the jeweler. Grieved at his mistake, the worthy merchaut sought to repair it, by inviting the two musiciaus to supper. The hon ors of the table were done by Lis amiable daughter, who appeared no less touched at the generosity of Lk:t, than astonished at his talent. That night tho musicians of the city serenaded their illustrious brother. The next day the nobles and most distinguish ed inhabitants of Prague presented them selves at the door. Thev entieated him to give concerts, leaving it to himself to fix any EUm he pleased as a remuneration. Then the jeweler perceived that talent, even in a pecuniary light, may be more valuable than tbe most precious diamonds. Liszt continued to go to his house, and to the merchant's great joy, he soon per ceived that his daughter was the cause of these visit. He began to love tbe com pany of the musician, and the fair girl, his only child, certainly did not hate it. One morning, the jeweler, coming to ,ue Fwat with German frankness, said to Liszt "How do you like my daughter ?" 'SIib is .m angel !" "What do you thiak of marriage ': "I think so well of it that I have the greatest po&aiblo inclination to try it." "What would yon say to a fortune of three million francs 1" "I would willingly accept it." "Well, we understand each other. My daughter pleases you ; you please my daughter; her fortune is ready be my son-in-law." "With all my heart." The marriage was celebrated the fol lowing week. And this, according to tbe chronicles of Prague, is a true account of the mar riage of the great and good pianiat, Liszt. FEARFUL LIGHTNING STROKE. Last Thursday afternoon, about five o'clock, a large crowd had assembled in the Fair Grounds of the Springvilie Union Agricultural Association, when a bhtirp thunderstorm came np. The rain began to fall, and the crowd sought refuge from its effects in the exhibition sheds. A flash of lightning took place, accompanied by a loul peal of thunder, and instantly an awful spectacle was presented. The lightning struck one of the sheds which contained men, women and horses. About a huudred persons were paralyzed iu an instant, falling on their faces, and as many as fifty were rendered insensible lor five or teu minutes, while about a doz en were quite seriously burned. Two hor ses were killed on the spot. An old gen tleman named John Gordenier, and two or three others, are not expected to re cover. Uue woman was prostrated aud deprived of her senses, but not her power of locomotion ; she instantly jumped up and ran to tho otnuiLus aud was conveyed tj lio'.mes' Hotel, and declares she had no Luowicdge of what took place after the Rash until she found herself in a room at tho house. The lightning struck a po?C in the cen tre of the shed, against which Henry Til lou. the landlord or the West Falls-Hotel, was leaning, aud to which a horse was at tached by a chain halter. The horse was iustautly killed, while Mr. Tiliou escaped by being dazed and knocked down. A singular fact mentioned in connection with the strnngc freak of the electric fluid is that all the persons rendered insensible fell on their faces. A yo-aug lady named Miss Xellia Cas sey, who wore a white aud black checked uress, was quite seriously injured, and her dress was fairly scorched, but did not take Hire. Another woman was stuck on the shoulder, the fluid passing down her side raising a perfect blister iu its course. A man from Otto was hit on the riht side of the head, and on Lis recovery the mark was found to comuence at the right eye, which was swelled like a puff ball, and could be plainly traced down the neck, across the chest, and off the left arm. The most fearful consternation existed among the people until it was discovered how light the injuries were that hud been inflicted, aud the excitement was most in tense. A great many attributed the stroke to the attraction of a mowing machine which stood near the shed, but two boys who were sitting on it at the time escaped uninjured, nor was the machine at all damaged, if struck. A valuable mare which was hitched to the pole was knocked down and died on Friday from the effects of the lightning. If such thunderbolts visit Fair grounds, other establishments may espeet to be vis ited, but, thanks to the genius of the im mortal Franklin, ample protection is affor ded to all who avail themselves of the ser vices of lightning rods. buffalo (X.Y.)

EDITOR AX ri-BLlSMER WHOLE NUMBER 10.50 aasmMneaniMMHniBaii A MAN ATTACKED BY A LWN.-A TER F0RMA.NCE NOT IN THE BILL The following we take from the Roclics ter Union of July 5: Last night, during the performance of Messrs. Thayer & Noycs' Great Circc and Collection of Wild Animals, a most frightful accident occurred. At the termination of the circus per formance a huge den, containing four ferocious lion.i, was dragged into the rinp.. Mr. Charles White was then introduced, and fearleSoly entered the cage and com menced performing with these brutes. The performance consists of the lions jumping through hoop, and over barrels, and concludes with Mr. White feeding the animals raw meat out of his hands. The performance went EmooiLly along for several minutes when it was observed thac one of tha lions, a vicious looking fellow, seemed loth to act Lis part, and White commeuccl puui.ihing him with his whip. This so enraged the beast that he sprang upon Mr. White, felling Lim to the Socr cf the cage, setting Lis jaws into his body, as though he intended to cat tho follow up. It was very soon noticed that a j art of the programme was being en acted not advertised in the bills. Tho canvas was filled to its utmost, many ladies being present, and the scene which followed baffles description. The furiou3 roaring of the lions, creaking of the breaking bones of this unfortunate man, and the screaming of the women, was more than the stoutest heart could stand. Men who braved the danger of the batt!u-Ge'd, and saw death in its every form, turned pale and trembled. A few seconds only elapsed, when it was noticed that Nero, a noble lion, rush ed forward to the rescue of Lis keeper, and in the meantime Messrs. Thayer and Noyes, with their usual presence of mind, with a few oi their attachecs, rushed to the cage armed with bars of iron, axes ' and everything that was conveniently near and commenced beating the brute off Lu keeper. In this they soon succeeded, and Mr. White was taken bleeding from 'he lions' den and carried to the National Hotel, where Le now lies in a very critical situ ation. Dr. Whitbect was called in to dress Mr. White's wounds, of which there aro many. His right shoulder is most hor ribly mangled by the sharp teeth and ponderous jaws of the excited and furious beast. Every attention possible is shown to this unfortunate gentleman by Messrs. Thayer & Noyes, and it is hoped that, with good care and the skillful treatment of Pr. Whitbcrk, Mr. White will recover. The circus closed with this rather trag ical performance, and has left the city, taking these lions to exhibit elsewhere. Aristocracy. Ouo of the parvenu ladies of Cincinnati, who would be won derfully aristocratic in all her domcstio concerns, was vLsiting at the house of Major G , (all know the old Major,) when, after tea, the following conversa tion between the Major's lady and "Top knot," in consequence of the hired girl occupying a seat at the tea table : "Why, Mrs. G , you do not allow your hired girl to cat with you at the tabic, do you 7" "Most certainly I do. It was so when you worked for me don't you recollect 7" This was a "cooler" to silk and eatin greatness, or, as the boy calls it, "Codfish aristocracy." After colericg and statu mcring, she answered in a low voice : "Yes, I believe it was," and went Lome. fcy-Oue day Jack Whaley's wife chanced to find an elegant piece of wbito leather on the roai, and she brought it borne with her in great delight to mend Jack's small clothes, which she did very neatly. Jack set off next day. Littla expecting what was in store for him ; but when he had trotted about five miles it was in the month of July ba began to feel mighty uneasy in his saddle, a feeling that continued to increase at every mo ment, till at last he said "it was like tak ing a canter on a bte hive in swarming time," and well it might, for the piece of leather was no other than a blister that the apothecary's boy had dropped that morning on tho road.
