A Student Playing Lion.

The Dayton Gazette tells the following
story:
A young student from Oxford, who was
on a visit to Troy, few days ago visited
the malthouse OF Messrs. Munday O. War
ner, a, d while there was informed that
Teutonic gentleman in their employ had
been made to believe that lion had escap-
ed from the managerie, and was prowling
about their premises, They were thinking
about getting some one to play the part Of
the hon, and then lots of fun might be ex-
pected. The young gentleman at once
consented to personate the lion,-procur-
ing buffalo robe and ensconsing himself
within it, slipped around the back way in
to the lower story. The Dutcbman was
then requested to bring some article from
the basement. When he arrived there,
out sprung the lion, somewhat frightening
the Dutchman, who on the instant grasped
a bludgeon, gave his lordship one vigorous
blow, and then with gigantic strides and
blanched cheeks rushed up stairs to tell his
adventure. Thereupon the party above
FASTENED down, and were themselves con-
siderably astonished and alarmed when
they found the young student lying sense
less upon the floor, with fearful cash up
on his head and covered with blood.
After calling in physician and apply
ing restoratives, the facetious man gradually
revived. His wound was dressed, and he
is able again to be about, but he declares
that he has no disposition to play the lion
to Dutchman any more.

Astonishing Performances of an
American before Queen Vic.

On the 18th of January. at Windsor,
Mr.. J. S. Rarey, from the United States Of
America, had the honor of exhibiting before
Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the
Royal Family and suite, in the riding house.
Several animals were selected as subjects
of his experiments. He commenced with
a colt, Is months old, belonging to the
Prince Consort, which was brought from
the Shaw Farm, andwhich had never been
handled except by halter, and had been
chosen by Colonel Honorable A. N. Wood
for the occasion. After being alone with
the animal for about one hour and halt,
the royal party entered, and found Mr.. Ra-
rey sitting on its back, without holding the
rein, the horse standing perfectly quiet
Mr.. Rarey then made few remarks in re-
gard his great experience in the treatment
of this noble animal; drum was after
wards handed to Mr.. Rarey, which he beat
with fury whilst sitting on the horses back
without the colt exhibiting any signs of
fear. The royal party afterwards withdrew
for few minutes, and on theirreturn found
the animal lying down, and Mr.. Rarey
knocking its hind ligs together, one Of
which he put against his face. Afterwards
restive horse, selected from Mr.. Ander-
sons stables, in London, which Mr.. Rarey
said be had before handled, was placed at
one end of the Riding house alone. Mr..
Rarey went to the other end, and at his
command the horse walked quietly up TO
him. He then made the horse lie down in
the presence of the Queen, when Mr.. Ra-
rey crawled between his hind legs, aud over
him in various ways. Mr. Rarey then roll
ed the horse on his back. The horse was
afterwards placed in various positions, in
which it stood without holding, and with
out bride. A third horse, selected by
Mr.. Meyers, the riding master, as very
nervous animal, was then brought in, and
in few minutes afterwards it was made
to do all which had been done by the other
horses. At the conclusion of this exhibi-
ton of Mr.. Rarey's wonderful power over
the horse, his ROYAL Highncss the Prince
Consort expressed to Mr. Rarey his graft
fcation and thanks. The secret has been
entrusted to Major General Richard Airey,
in confidence, who has pronounced that
there is nothing in the treatment but what
any horseman would approve of.
1t is suggested that the American horse
tanner who so astonishes royalty has dis
covered the secret of horse-talk, and whis-
pers the restive animal into submission.

Seed Corn.

There is very general complaint among
our farmers of the scarcity of seed corn rails
ed last season in Franklin co. that will do to
plant. The early frost last fall, and the
wet weather since then has not only :otted
large proportion Of the crop, but Of that
which looks to be apparently sound and
ripe, small part of it will do to plant. In
this connection we publish part of COM
munication which appears in the Marysville
Union county, Tribune of Thursday
The writer, a Mr.. Mcneil, of Claybourne
tp., of that county says:
In husking out about 80 bushels of the
best of my corn, l shelled with great care,
about two bushels, all sound and clear in
the cob. Of the two bushels I took "a
ears, "a fair average), and took one grain
out Of the middle part of each ear-9 of
them being of the mixed white, and Is of
them yellow. l filled "sap trough" with
common good corn soil, or earth, and set
it by the fire one hour. 1 then made a
straight hollow or gutter in the soil in the
trough, one inch in depth, and put in the
above "a grains, and covered them over one
inch with the soil; and then buried the
trough about one foot deep in pile of
fresh horse manure, mixed largely with
corn stalks and straw, and being in high
state of fermentation. In 4s hours, the
corn was examined, and two grains of
the mixed white and one grain of the
yellow, had sprouted finely, and the other
81 grains were nearly rotten.
The corn from which the above was ia
ken, was about rs good as any in the neigh
borhood; was cut up in good season and
put in small shocks-eight hills square
was husked out after the freeze of Nov;
and l had about 80 bushels nearly all fit
for kitchen use.
made similar experiment on corn
that was gathered and put in an out loft
before the Nov, freeze, and none of it
sprouted.

A CLEAR CAsE.-Passipg along the
street the other morning, we overheard the
following conversation, which is as clear as
mud:
"Julias, / was better yesterday, but Use

covery?"
"Discovery OBJ what, Juliase"
"Your discovery from de conwalescense

on de prognostication which amplify de dis
ease. Should dey continue de fatually, de
docta thinks Use gone nigga: should dey
not continuate fatally, he hopes dis cullo'd
indiwidooal won't decease till anoder time.
As said afore, it all suspends on de prog

Why is the South so solicitous to rush
Kansas in with the Leeompton Constitu-
ton?
There certainly does not appear sub
stancial and valid reason upon che surface,
for so much heat and determination a.
they evince. Nay, even as prominent pa
per as the New York Times saws it is an
lmmaterial matter, since the Free State
men control the Kansas Government,
both Executive and Legislative. However
this may be, it is now questioned. But
the South persist, true as steel, they will
have the State in with the Lecompton Con-
stitution. Now they must have a motive.
What is it? and why is it that the noble
Free State leaders in Kansas saw they new
er will recognize the Constitution
We believe the reason, with the ultra
pro-slayery men, to be this Kansas, with
slavery Constitution, as long as it exists,
sanctions slavery and the introduction Of
any number of slaves into her borders
This, we suppose, is unquestionable.
Now, suppose this Constitution is chang
ed in four months, and slavery is prohibit
ed? The slavery men will claim that no
law or Constitution can invalidate their
right to the slaves who are there, because
the first Constitution, ike Charter, con-
fers vested rights, and these cannot be d.
vested by subsequent Constitution, no
more than by a subsequent law of the Leg
islature.
The Supreme Court of the United States,
as we understand it, in the matter Of the
Ohio Banks, decided that the New Consti-
tuition had no more power to meddle with
and invalidate Bank Charter, than
mere law of the Legislature.
Now, if we are right here, is there not
every reason why the Infamous Lecompton
Constitution should be :hrottled at once
by Congress, and every Northern Lecomp-
ton Congressman throttled by his constitu-
ents!
1t may be said, this could be of no con-
sequence, because the Free State influence
is so strong that it will annihilate slavery.-
But We forget that If it is once legalized.
the Courts, where the Marshal selects the
Jury and is backed by government bsyo-
nets, do all the rest and laugh at your pub
lie sentiment.
AT Sandusky City Mr.. Parish was found
guilty and mulcted for harboring slave
1t this can be done on the Reserve, much
more can and will it be done in Kansas.
The Court to be sure, ought to scout
this Constitution, conceived in wickedness
and born in violence; but there of this is
little hope now We must make brave
fight now, and We honor our Free State
friends in Kansas who are doing it, Clepe.

WA very little boy had one day done
wrong, and was sent, after parental correc-
tion, to ask in secret the 70 giseness of his
heavenly Father. His offence had been
passion. His mother, anxious to hear
what he would say, followed him to the
door of the room. She heard him ask to
be made better, never again to be angry,
and then be added with simplicity, "Lord
make mas temper hetter, too!'

TO MY WIFE.


Thy cheek is pale with many cares,
Thy brow is overcast,
And thy fair face shadow wears,
y, That tells of sorrows past;
But music hath thy tongue for me.
How dark soe'er my lot may be;
turn for comfort, love, to thee,
Ny beautiful, my wife!
Thy gentle eyes are not SO bright
.. As when ! wooed thee first;
Yet still they have the same sweet light
Which long my heart hath nursed;
They have the same enchanting beam
Which charmed me in loves early dream,
And still on me with joy they stream,
Ny beautiful, my wifel
A shadow comes across my heart,
And overclouds my fate.
Whene'er ! think thou may st depart,
And leave me desolate;
For as the wretch who treads alone
Some gloomy path in wilds unknown.
Such would be if thou wert gone,
My beautiful, my wifcl
If thou vert dead the flowers might spring,
But should heed them not;
The merry birds might soar and sing
They could not cheer my lot.
Before me dark despair would rise,
And spread pail Ger earth and skies.
If shone no more ,hy loving eyes.
Ny beautiful, my wife! 49,.
And those dear eyes have shone thro' tears
But never looked unkind;
For shattered hopes and troubled years
Still closer seemed to bind
{ Thy pure and trusting b cart to mine,
Nor thyself didst thou repine,
But all thy husbands grief was thine.
q My beautiful, my wife
When at The eyontIde see
Ny children throag around,
And know the love oil them and thee.
My spirit still is bound se
To earth, despite of every care;
/ feel my soul can do and dare,
So long as thou my lot dost share,
My beautiful. my wife! .
