A Circus Succumbs.
Atlanta Herald. November Is.


Ient's New York Circus tlisbanded here
On yesterday. They have made arrange
m.nts I" winter their circus apparatus,
stock, &c. with Doid W"otcn. Of this place.
The reason they assign for their failure, or
rather suspension. is the scarcity II money
throughout the South. The manager said
that they had met with very heavy losses
during the last six weeks. and As matters
continued to get worse rather than improv-
ing. they knowing il they persisted in run
ming the show with daily expenditures Of
from twelve to fifteen hundred dollars. that
ruin was inevitable, hence they decided at
Columbus to disband and to 20 into winter
quarters here. 4 portion Of the performers
will stay In the city all winter. Thirty-five
left last night for New York, over the Ken
ncsaw route. Their disbanding only
amounts to temporary suspension. They
now purpose rcorganixing next March and
commencing their spring tour from this
,oint. We think of buying that little cle-
plant, that made 70 much noise last month
TO use Tor screuading purposes.

Nast's Stage Fright.

Mast is now successful in his lectures and
really likes the idea. But it was not al
ways 50. The day that dawncd upon his
first attempt on the platform found as ner-
vous and as dissatisfied a man as any day
has found. Had his execution been a,ans-
cd t" take place that evening in the pres
cnce Of few select friends he could not
have been more depressed. 1scdpath kept
close to him during the day, and found sew
cial opportunities for c0nsratulating him
self on 80 doing. No less than two direct
attempts were made by Mast 10 escape, but
the watcllfullncSs Of the Bureau Chief
tlwar;cd the design. The constant sur
veillancc told on I.edpath. and at night he
was scarcely less unneTved than the artist.
Going to the hall Mast made 4 final effort
to eludc his patron, but was again unsuc-
ce>~;u. From back OF the scenes he took
view Of the audience, and the sea Of faces
with the dreadful look of expectation upon
them completely took away his breath. He
protested with all The vel,cmence the weak
ened s,a,c "f his legs would permit. that
he could not and would not face those tea
riblc people. Rcdpa,h took squint through
the aperture and appeared t" bc very much
depressed with the audience. lie told Mast
that he was quite sure he never saw more
insipid-looking collection Of people in all
his life. and that Il girl ten years old, with
only one eye in her head, and but one car,
and that on the top Of her head. would nat
u,ally ycarn 10 meet just such an audience.
Thus encouraged Mast started Cor the stage,

arms Of the hospitablc Rcdpath, made an
other effort. and reached the centre Of the

For The first fifteen minutes he handled his
subject rs If it had sprung leak and was
losing it's contents: but when he took hold
Of the pencil, and got his back on the terri
ble audience, his courage revived. and he
finished the lecture without mishap.

Even Professor Tyndall will have to ad-
nit the efficacy Of special prayer in this
case, told If in late exchange:
A clergyman in Columbia, Pa, recently
tested the efficacy Of prayer by introducing
into his supplication the words, 80 Lord,
bless and enlighten tho young man in tho
pink necktic and tho maiden in the blue
bonnet and gray shawl, who are profaning
the sanctuary by kissing one another in
pew number 6s;" and We have eminent
authority for the assertion that the kissing
inuaediately stopped.

APARIs SUIcIDE.-Last year one poor
trunkard killed himself, leaving behind
him cry sentimental and affecting letter.
to say that his life was u burd cn to him,
without his ''dear lament cd,' and that he
was going to rejoin her in better world
Oninquiry it turned out that his wife had been
dead four years; that he had been twice ar
rested for beating her; that they never lived
= day without quanelling; and, finally, that
they had been separated for more than two
years before her death. This is fair SAM
pie Of many suicides, for in nine cases out
of ten the cause given is not the true one.
Since the journals ceased to give the names
of the suicides, and to recount their tragic
history IN drama terms, suicide has been
gradually declining in reputstton.-ses

How YANKEES Cook BEANS writer of
the New York World says this is the way
the down-cast lumbernen cook them, who
eat them twice day for four or five months
each year: Take one quart OF beans; first
soak, if pea beans. until they arc swelled
full: it will take over night certain: if yell
low eyes, parboil until the skins crack open
when blown on with the breath; drain of
the water, put about two-thirls Of the beans
in the pot; put in about one and one half
pound Of Fat pork, then the rest Of the
beans. bake not less than twelve hours, first
covering the beans witt, hot water. These
arc genuine Yankee pork and beans. The
way they are cooked in the woods is this:
A hole is dug at the foot Of the fire, filled
around with hot Goals and covered with
hot ashes, where ii remains from OF clock
D. m. until breakfast the next morning
about fourteen or fifteen hours. There are
probably more beans eaten in Maine than
in the whole State Of New York.

The Simple Secret.

Twenty clerks in store. twenty hands
in printing office, twenty apprentices in
sl,ip-yartl, twenty young men in village
all want to get on in the world. and expect
to do so. One "f the clerks will become a
PARTNER and make fortune: one Of the
compositors will own newspaper, and be-
come an influential citizen: one Of the ap-
prcntices will become 4 master builder; one
Of the young villagers will get handsome
farm, and live like patriarch-but which
one is the lucky individual: Lucky!
There is no luck about it. Tho thing is
almost as certain a- the rule OF three. The
young fellow who distances his competitors

Dear father, to-, had watched his bed,
And tried to soothe his restless head.
With aching hearts, night after night,
They both have set till morning light,
And tried to soothe away his pain,
But all their efforts were in vain.
We hope one day 10 meet
Our dearest brother in the heavenly street,
Where we shall join in hand and heart,
And never, never part.
Oh what happy time it will be
When We each others face shall see,
On Canaan's bright aud happy shore,
Where We shall pSrt no more.
Oh do not weep, but dry your tears,
In pain he suffered many years.
He suffered hard, he suffered long,
But now he sings an angels song.

His body buried beneath the sod,
His spirit BY angels conveyed to his God.
