The Village Circus.

The premonitory symptoms of the
circus break out upon the village fences
in the form Of huge placards, conveying
temptation which is both appalling
and irresistible. 1t is at once evident
that the utmost ferocity in the wild
beasts may be expected. The Rhinocer-
Os is a terrible creature. His horn,
which is a yard long, ,glisteps horribly in
the sun while he tears through the jun
giles Of the tent at an incalculable speed.
As for the elephant, his huge legs, ears,
trunk and tail are all flying in different
directions as he rolls a brace of roval
Bengal tigers over and over, who fright
fully gnash their teeth and glare upon
Behemoth with savageness that cur
dies the village blood in its veins. The
African lion in his native wiIds is con-
suming three villagers and other men at
one meal, and the polar hear lies under
the ample shade of the glacier receiving
a friendly visi from Walruses and seals
II you can turn your eyes from these de-
ightful horrors, there is a celebrated
highly-trained animal, Napoleon, the
horse that Waltzes to slow music. And
here is MademOiselle Eclair flying, and
gracefully kissing her hand to applaud
ing worlds as she flies, through several
miles Of papered hoops. And the mod
ern Hercules simultaneously catches
5OO-pOunders, with a smile, upon the
nape of his neck and each elbow, La
Petite Etise, aged five years, tlutters in
the most angelic manner, with tiny
flags in her hands, over floating draper
les. All is delight and grace and hap
piness, skill, ferOcity, and surprise, in
the premOnitory symptoms.

bills with ineXpresSihle awe and eXpec-
tatiOn. He saw them last year, perhaps
and probably the year before. He has
proved the quality of their veracity.
He knows whether the rhinOcerOs really
does plow up the elephants belly, and
the elephants flying leaps has he not
seen? But who knows not the magic of
the play-bill? Yes, and of a dinner
bill? ? The first blue-bird in spring does
not more surely fOretell summer that
shall not be than the bill of fare in the
cellar smelling of beer insinUate
the delicate vision Ofa dinner beyond
DelmOnicO. Then is there not the
Grand Entree of the whole company? ?
the band, comfortably sitting in Cleopa-
tra's barge, playing lively tunes with
an OverpOwering proportion of bass
drum the dusky, dusty elephants, |
slowly following, Tapping their huge
ears like punkahs, and stoically re-
that promised tendency OF !
legs, trunk, and tail to fly abroad ? and !
the camels, Raorian and Others, come |
lounglng along; and the boys instantly |
lose themselves in u learned labyrinth !
Of debate whether it is the camel that |
has two humps and the dromedary one.
Then roll in solemn silence all the vans, |
In which we know, with feelings not to |
DO described, that zebras and gnus, and |
lOepards and jaguars, and lions and I'll |
gers, are passing, although invisible. |
If there is n hoarse growl, a sullen rum !

cages is something that doth live -

NothIng Ike Grammar.

Nothing like Grammar! Better 90
without a COW than go without that.
There are numberless professors who
tramp, tramp, tramp, my boys ? around
the country, peddling weak article, bv
which in twenty days they guarantee
to set q man thoroughly up in the En-
glish language. An instance in point
comes from GreenvilIe, Alabama, where
q professor had labOred with the youth
of that people, and taught them to dote
on grammar according to 'MOrris's' sys-
TEN. During one of the lectures thesen-
tence, Mary milks the cow was given
to be parsed. Each word had been
parsed save one, which fell to Bob L.
a siXteen-year-O!d, near the foot Of
class, who commenced thus: Cow is
a noun, feminine gender, singular num-
Der, third person, and stands lo5- MaTy.'
Stands for Maryr said the excited pro-
fessOr. How do you make that out?
Because" answered the noble pupil, if
the COW didn't stand for Mary, HOup
could Mary milk Her?5

cHIuKHEN HIS HAT.

NAT is very poor, rather light finger
ed, and it is said not so bright as his par
ents could wish. The other day, while
passing neighb0r's. Nat saw a brood
of chickens, and Immediately caught
one to carry home. He had not gone
far, however, before he saw the owner
coming up, the road, and not knowing
what to do with the chicken to conceal
it, at last succeeded in crOwding it into
his hat, which he again placed upon his
head. But the chicken, having a long
neck, and being also pressed for air,
managed to thrust its head through an
opening in Mats old straw hat. Nat
was presently accOsted with:
What have you got in your hat2'
Nothing but my head, said Nat.
But 1 see q chickens head sticking
through the top of it
Nat, taking off his hat and looking at
it in feigned astOnisbment, exclaimed:
wal, how do you s'pose that critter
came in there? He must have crawled
up my troWsers leg

Do Fary,,ers study enough.

The subject of agriculture is one that
demand fully as much attention at the
hands of the reading public IS it gets.
Indeed no theme presents itself that is
fruught with more real import, so far as
regards our prosperity, than the wants
of the agricultural world. What we
mean by attention, is a Studious, care
ful search for the best ways of accom-
plishng certain desired results, not
superficial investigation of some theory.
merely for the purpose ofcreating differ
ence and provoking discussion. The
day has happily passed when being a
farmer was synonymous with being a
blockhead. It requires something more
than mere pysiciai strength to keep up
with the advance of the age I'M farming
Us Well rs science. Many Of the Sys-
tens of years ago are no more applica-
ble to the demands ofto-day than would
be an OK team to run an opposite freight
line across the Plains. The farmer who
reads much, and reads that much with
care, is the one who stands il. advance
in intelligence and prosperity.

THE STANDARD legal dictionaries in use

recently given by physician in Pulas-

member of the bar in that place. Mr..
b. and Mr.. L., opposing counsel in a
pending case, We're engaged in taking
dispositions to be used on the trial of a
cause. The question as to a certain wO-
mans sOuudness of mind being in con-
troversy. q physician was called as "a
medical expert and during the examfn-
alton the following dialogue took place ::
Question. Do you think the ladies is
of sound mind?
Answer. No, sir; 1 do not.
Q. Does she know the difference be-
tween a power of attorney and an sab-
sOlute conveyance p
A. No, sir; Of course she don't, and
there are very few women who do.
Q. Do you know the difference?
a. Yes, sir; Of course 1 do; do YOU SUD-
pose / am an iguOTamus?
Q. Well, sir, will you be kind enough
to tell US the difference
A. Weu-well, power OF attorney
is the strength of mind of any particu-
lar lawyer; and an absolute convey
ance' is a hack, or omnibus, or railroad
car, or something of the sort.

WISHING.

fall the amusements OF the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There isn't one that you can fud
So very cheap as wishing
: very choice diversion, too,
five but rightly use it.
And not, as we are apt to do,
Prevcrt 1t, and abuse it.
I wish-a common wish iRdeed-
MypUrse was somewhat fatter,
That might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to fiatterl
That might make oppression reel,
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it.
l wish-that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has Its organs from above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate, Z
And every base emotion,
Where buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves Of ocean,
wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not so few,
wish the bad were fewer;
wish that persons ne er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
wish that practise was not
So different from preaching.
Iwish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with ruth and candOr:
l wish that innocence were free,
From treachery and SANDER;
Iwish that men their vows would mind;
That women ne'er were rUvers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.

Restored 60 Power, What Will the DEM
OeFats doe

Restored TO power the Democracy
will endeavor to restore respect for the
Constitution and the laws throughout
the whole country; to restore good tenn
per and kind feeling among the whole
people. By Tetrenchment and reform
in ali the branches of Government.
State and Federal, they will reduce the
taxes Of the people; and by investiga-
tion stricll but impartial, they will ex-
pose and punish the thieves who have
been rObbing the Treasury and who now
seek to retain power in order to avoid
such exposure and punishment.
Restored to power, they will try and
restore our commerce, which is well
nigh destroyed to revive trade, which
is well nigh paralyzed, and remove the
unequal and unjust burdens which now
weigh heavily upon the shoulders of in
dustTy, so that our farmers, manufactur-
ers, merchants, mechanics and work
ingmen will be able to save a portion of
the profits of their toll, instead of hav-
ing them gObbIed up by the Ieeches who
are growing fat by sucking the life
