Desperation gave him courage,

idential benefits OF a drought,
forces an increased planting OF

consequence is, that We have a

EXCITING SCENE IN A Circus
TENT.-We copy as follows from
the Huntingdon (Tenn.) Courier of
the 9TH: An exciting scene oc-
cnrred yesterday at Col. Ames'
circus. After the "grand review"
had perambulated our streets and
returned tosthe tent, the keeper of
the Mexican lions replaced them
in the cage, and in coming out,
instead of coming ont back fore.
most, he came ont with his back
to the animals. AS he stepped out,
the famous performing Mexican
lion, Charlie, jumped upon his
back, crushing him to the earth.
The man cried ont twice, "Shoot
him, shoot him I" when bystand-
er drew his revolver and fired
three times. killing the lion upon
the spot. The keeper was some.
what lacerated, but not seriously
injured. Col. Ames regrets very
much the death OF his favorite per-
forming animal, and it is certainly
a serious loss for him, but nothing
compared with his keeper. A
crowd of 1000 or 1900 people
lad gathered around when the in
cident occurred, and such a ske-
dadling we have seldom ever seen .

PEACH TREES INJURED BY
WoRArs.-A correspondent Of the
Farmers Home journal, gives the
following simple remedy for the
attack of worms on peach trees
" After the peaches were some
weeks old, last spring, noticed
that one Of my best trees was dy-
ing by worms the leaves were
crisping and withering. I saw
that the signs were destructive.
and proceeded as follows About
hall bushel of coal ashes around
the tree. and then one bucket of
water. In few days the tree re-
vived, and bore fine fruit. The
past winter / had the ashes put
around all of my trees"
Wood ashes would have been
better.-Aaryla'ad Farmer.

LIv1Na BEYOND THEIR MEANS.
Bulwer says that poverty is only
an idea, nine cases out of ten.-
Some men with ten thousand dol
lars a year suffer more for the want
OF means than others with three
hundred. The reason is, the rich
er man has artificial wants. Ills
income is ten thousand and he suf.
fers enough for being dunned for
unpaid debts to kill sensitive
man. A man who earns a dollar
a day and does not run in debt, is
the happier of the two. Very
few people who have never been
rich will believe this; but it is
true. There are thousands and
thousands with princely incomes
who never know moments peace,
because they live above their
means. There is really more hap
piness in the world among tue
working people than among those
who are called rich.
This living beyond ones mea 8,
Is the cause OF more demoraliza-
tion and woe in the human family
than any other of those indiscre.
tions in which it seems man is in
clined to indulge. Especially it is
so in the cities of the world where
vicious temptations in 80 many
varied forms abound. Bulwer,
more than any other OF the popu-
lar modern writers, seems to un-
derstand what poverty really is
He is poor who lives, beyond his
means, while he who lives within
them is not. And this will ap-
ply to the millionaire as well as to
him who has to labor for his daily
bread.
