They know where this act is ovt rdone, that

Children of an older growth delight in the
circus, on, and even the very old, who are
past noticing many sublunary things will
check their tottering stomps to see the prrx es
gnu pass, with the gaily dressed blowers of
sonorous brass, the bright. wagon, and the
horses with daminz plumes. The cirrus will
never wear out. There is some charm about
t that strikes the popular heart
after season• it goes about, performing the
same acts with very little change. The le-a
les. rider jumps his horse over garters, bars
and hurdle gates, jumps through ball/a:Kis,
just as he did half .a century ago. They
"tumble" as they long have; tumbled, and
"flip Sop" as they long have flip-flopped, but,
psbaw ! out' readers know all about it, and
have seen it dozens of times and it is always
dime the same way. Old as nearly every-
'thing is pertaining to the circus, it will never
wear out. Wherever its tent is pitched the
people will be allured by its tuusie, its trap
pings and its sawdust arena; jostling each
other in their eagerness to deposit their
tribute at the ticket wagon.
People \milder why it is that when the
horse and rider are sweeping around the ring
n► full speed, and inclining at an angle which
~ee•my•to threaten to send them both flying
in the sawdust, the horse doesn't fail Into the

he is jumping on the horse's back. We shall

the ring is forced to neline inward and . the
greater its speed the greater as a matter of
ectir , e mast he the i clination ; but whatever
the latter may be, the horse could not main
tain it for a moment if at rest. Were it
brought to a sudden] stand still a would at
once call inward. If It, tried to gallop aropd
the ring and to keep upright' at the same
time, its impetus would dny6 it outside the
circle. But it is upheld by the antagonism
of the two torces, although when it is going
'round it is inclined many degrees beyond the
centre of gravity. As concerns, the man, no
matter how high he may leap be is sure to
come down. on the animal's back, for the

rider.
it any of out young readers Want to teach
a horse the cdmmon nick of picking up a
handkerchief,llet' them proceed as follows
Spread on the sawdust a white cloth con.
mining a libel* tjpply of oats, lead the ani•
mel around the rfrig . and , let him take some
oats. This iSlessola 'No.I; its object •being
to _brio the horse's mind a connection be
tween the cloth and the oats. The • march
around the circle being once or twice re-
prated, he stops at the handkerchief as a
matter of course. By dint of practice, say in
a couple of weeks. he will learn to slop as
well in a trot or a gallop as in a walk. After
a time the handkerchief must be doubled
,over and tied in a knot ; the animal shakes
it to get at the grain, but not succeeding,
lilts it hem the ground, iwhich is just the
thing wanted. When the'.horse has done
this a few • times, and finds though he can
shake nothing out be will receive a handful
of oats as a reward, be .may be trusted to
perform in public_
The last step of all, the persuading a horse
to -carry a handkerchief to the owner, is near
ly thine. Of his own accord lie a-ill hold the
cloth till, it is taken from his mouth, and
lltere will be little difficulty in coaxing him
to walk a few pacts when he knoWs: he.will
get a handful of oats or a carrot for his ebedi ,
ence. If the animal be mettlesome and high
spirited, a ditfere.at course must be f.;lio)yed
at starting. A smart hour's gallop round the
ring twice a ilav, with an occasional short
allowance of oats, wilt wen bring hint to his
senses. To teach a horse to tire a pistol, let
the tire-arm be died to a posi, and a piece of
white cloth being attached to the trigger,

movement of his lessons. After a while the

to the rein at the upper side to help the move

It has long been supposed that the spotted
horses used in a circus are a hereditary breed

a mistake.. It. is said, too, that performing
horses are dyed or painted. This is scarcely
ever the case, though artistically colored
horses have been palmed off orrcountry folks
who have no faith in horses of an ordinary
hue. A circus proprietor with money can
easily p.et horses (If alt sorts, as he or his agent

A Wicked Prank.
(From the Newt Orteatut Picayune.)
Wednesday night quite a fashionable wed
ding was celebrated in the Fourth District.
The bride was pretty, as alt newly married
ladies are, and the groom was the glass of
Cashion and the mould of form. A number
of invited guests lent grace and beauty to the
occasion, and hearty congratulations testified
the good wishes of many friends for the hap
piness of the newly wedded p dr. But the
hours waned rapidly, and the time tor retir
ing came at last. The bride' was led by
laughing bridesmaids up to her chamber door.
But, i•nagine their surprise when it was
opened by a lady richly and elegantly clad
in a travelling Suit. and evidently Waiting
for an interview.
"I beg . pardon; madam ; but you appear as
tonished," said the strange lady.
"1 contess I did not expect to see any one
here." replied the bride.
"No madam; I came in very privately,
and wished an interview, subject to no in
terruption."
It did not occur''to the bride to inquire by.
whom she had been introduced, or by what
means she had gained access to her apart
ment.
"It is very strange, madam, and I emit im
agine why you wish to speak to me !"
. "The reavon is simple. - Too man you have

OLD MAlDS.—Neyer be afraid of becoming
an old maid, fair reader. Am old malt is far
more honorable than a heartless wife, anti
single blessedness is greatly superior in point
of happiness, to wadded life without love.
"Fall not in love, dear girls, beware," says
the old song. But we do not it.i.rue with
said song. On the contrary, we bola that it
is a good . thing to fall in love, or get it
love,
if the loved object be wdrthy. No, fall in
love as soon US you like, provided it he a
suitable parson. Fail in love and then mar
ry; but never marry unless you do love.
That is the great point. Never marry tor a
