4 Negro Shot foT kicking a Gentle.
mMn al lIrEma.

VIM P. Fleming, of this city, sec0mpa-
MED by another gentleman, 0a Saturday
night last, visited the circus and quietly
seated them elves among the audience.
They had been seated a few minutes only,
whea Mr.. Fleming felt himself, as be sup
posed, kicked BY some one from behind
him, and turning observed no one whom be
was willing 10 suspect Of such an indigniiy,
concluded he must have been mistaken. Ia
a very short time the kick was repeated
twice, when Mr.. Fleming discovered that
the outrage had been deliberately commit
ted bya negro man, who had forced his way
among the white audience and takeu his
seat Immediately behind the seat occupied
by Mr.. Fleming and his friend. A. soon as
he found the negro had kicked him, Mr
Fleming drew his pistol aiming 10 Of the
negroes head, but the negro seized him
firmly BY the wrist, with a strong and pow
erful grip, and for q while prevented him
from shooting. Mr.. Fleming, however,
succeeded in releasing himself and shot the
negro through the body, iuGIctiug a danger
Gus but a wei deserved wound.
The negro went 20 the circus, We have no
doubt, deliberately % insult the white au-
dieucc. II he did. the result is inst such as
such conduct VIII always meet from Ken
lucky men, A negro girl, 90 private
house, was heard % say that evening that
she ''would not 60 70 the circu- because the
negroes were going there 90 take seats vi D
the white people, and there would be q dis-
turbance." The conduct Of the negro nan
who insuied Mr.. Fleming looks as if ID was

A BATrLE LOsr.-Connectjcut sits in the
shadow Of shame. She has done an act at
home at which her mauy sons abroad viii
justly blush. By a majority Of j.UO0, her
white citizens have del bemtely denied 70
her black that equal rght 0i suffrage which
should be common TO ali.
(Not 5000 majority, but from s.0s0 10

solemnly assert that CDaecticut would

iority Of the loyal people Of the North have
accustomed themselves to say, eve must

tion had chosen a policy Of Justice. instead

The man pushed up his bandages to get q

at the squire, then again at me, then at Bill
and last of Ill threw his hat upon the

The squire fumbled in his pockets for o

he did so, and stuffed something into each of

I'll VorE FOR TIE OTHER MAN.-The fol.
lowing story is told Of revolutionary sol.
dier who was running for Congress 1T mp.
pears that lie was opposed by q much young.
or man, who had 'never been to tho wars,
and il was the won't OF Revolutionary to tell
the people the hardships ho'd endured.
"Fellow.citizens- have fought and bled
for my country. l have helped whip the
British and Indians. have slept on the
field of battle with no other covering than
the canopy of Heaven. have walked over
frozen ground until every footstep was mark.
cd with blood" ...
Just about this time one Of the sovereigns
who had been very much affected by this tale
of woe. walks up in front OF the speaker
wiping his eyes with the extremitics Of bis
coat-tail, and interrupting him, says:
"Dids you say that you had fought the
British and injins?" .....
"Ycs sir, l did," .r .H
"Did you say you had followed the enemies
of your country over frozen ground until ev
cry footstcp was covered with blooi?"
"Yes, sir" exultingly replied the speaker
"Woll, then" said the fearful sovereign
as ho gave sigh Of painful emotion, "I'll
DO blamed if l don't think you've done
enough for your country, and I'll vote for the

FUH AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of little
fun at home, good people! Don't shut up
your house lest the sun should fade your car.
pets and your hearts, lest hearty laugh
shake down some Of the musty old cobwebs
there. n you want to ruin your sons, lot
them think that all mirth and social enjoy
ment must be left on the threshold without,
when they come home at night. When once
home is regarded as only place to eat,
drink, and sleep in, the work Is begun that
ends in ganbling.bo and reckless degra-
dation. Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere: IL they do not find
It at their own hcarthstoncs. il will be sought
at other and perhaps less profitable places.
Therefore, let tho Ere burn brightly at night.
and make the homestead delightful with all
those little arts that parents 90 perfectly un-
derstand. Don't repress the buoyant spirit
of your children. Halfan hour Of merri
nent. round the lamp and freight Of homo
blots out tho remembrance OF manv caro-
and annoyance during the day; and the best
safeguard they can take with them into tho
world is the unseen influence Of bright, lit
tic domestic sanctum. reau 1.

Practical JOKES PLAYED ny HoRsR.-
The following anecdote is from an English
paper :-"There was (some years ago) q very
fine horse in tho possession Of Henry Meux
& Co., the eminent brewers, used as dray
horse, but 80 tractable that he was left some
times without any restrain. to walk about the
yard, and return to the stable, according to
his fancy. In the yard there were also few
pigs OF peculiar breed, fed on grain and corn,
and to these pigs the horse had evidently an
insuporable objection. There was deep
trou ;h in the yard, holding water for the
hors =, where this horse went often taking
his mouth full of corn. When he reached
the trough he let the corn fall near il on the
ground, and when the young swine approach.
ed It (for the old ones kept aloof,) he would
suddenly seize one of them by the tail, pop
him into tho trough, and then caper about
the yard, seemingly delighted with the frolic.
Tho noise of the pig soon brought the men
to his assistance. who knew from experience
what was tho matter, while the horse indulg
cd in all sorts of antics, to show his glee,
and then returned quietly to his stable"

DoN'r CoMPLAIN.-Don't complain Of your
birth, your training, your employment, your
hardships never fancy you could be some
thing if you only hada different lot and sphere
assigned to you. God understands his own
plans. and knows what you want great deal
better than you do Tho very thing that you
most deprecato as fatal limitations and OBJ
structions. are probably what you most want
What you cali hindrances and discourage.
ments. are probably God'sopportunitles. and
It is nothing now that n patient should dis
like his medicines, or any certain proofs that
thcy are poisons. No! q truce to all such
impatienco, Choke that devilish envy which
gnsws ut your heart because you are not in
the same lot with Others bring down your
soul, or rather bring IL up to receive Gods
will, and do His work, in your lot, in your
sphere, under your cloud Of obscurity, against
your temptations and then you shall find
that your condition Is never opposed to your
own good, but really consistent with it.
