COLES CIRcus, which exhibits here on the

exhibited here yesterday afternoon and even.
ing, was fortunate in jamming the pavilion at
both performances. There must have been
at least FIVE thousand persons present at each
exhibition, and consequently the company
leave with replenished and bulky exchequer.
The street parade was very good and equal to
all expectations. The performances were
first class in every respect, and in several far
surpassed any circus We have had for years.
1t was genuine old>fashioned affair, with
just enough of menagerie attachment to adj
vertisc aud attract the moral element, while
the ring furnished plenty of amusement for
the goddess. The athletic performances were
superb, and the leaping was something un-
usually fine, several of the performers max
ing double summer-saulss easily as single
turns are mado. The female gymnast, who
performed on the flying rings, presented
dangerous and thrilling act, and was also un'
usually presentable as to personal appearance
in fact thing of beauty in tights, SO to
speak. The bareback riding of Willie O'Dale,
and the fine jockey performance of another
equestrian, were gems in their way. It was
in all respects an entertainment we'll worthy
of the price of admission, and deserves full
patronage everywhere.

Not Prepared.

The "Drawer, in the November
Harper, has this from the very
down-easternmost section of our
precious country:
tits customary with the students
in our college to say "Not pre-
a" -,han oallad nnnn to ra,.it n
a difficult and not well memorized
passage. On hot summer after
noon, in the year -, the class
was sleepily stumbling through the
introduction to Buffers Analogy.
The reverend doctor was quite fa-
miliar with the subject matter as
with the numbers of chapters and
sections, and had way of his own
in calling for a recitation, which
sounded quite as much like a call to
recite. The lesson was going bad
ly, and the doctor, nesting in his
chair, called out, "Mr. r, you
may pass on to the Future Life"
Mr.. T was too much of a
wag to let the opportunity slip,
and promptly responded, "Not
prepared"
The reader can easily imagine
the effect on the risibles of the
class.

What a Young Man Should Do.

livery young man should
strive to make the best of himself,
intellectually, morally and physi-
cally.
2.-He should depend upon his
own efforts to accomplish these re-
suits.
3.-He should willingly take ad'
vice from those competent to give
it, and to follow such advice, un-
less his own judgment or convic-
tion, properly founded, should other
wise direct.
4.-He should never be discour-
aged by small beginnings, but re-
member that all great results have
been wrought out from apparently
slight causes.
5.-He should never under any
circumstances be idle. If he can.
not find the employment he pre-.
fers, let him come as near his de-
sires as possible-he will thus reach
the object of his ambition.
6.-All young men have inalien.
able rights, among which none j:
greater or more sacred than the
privilege to be somebody.

just as he had done every Tuesday

and talked of the weather and
the cattle, and the crops, and the
market, / was going to say, but no,
they didn't talk about that. And
finally said:
"Jennie, I've known you for a

"Yes, JAMIE" said she.
"And-Pve thought I'd always

"Y-e-s-Jamie."

"So-that-when-we get"
"Yes-Jamie-yes."
"We're dead we can lay our

The fool had gone and bought
lot in graveyard, but Jennie
was not discouraged. She knew
her man well-after fourteen years
she ought to-and so she said gent
ly:
"Jamie."

out of his store, which request was
refused, whereupon he undertook
to put the man out by force. A
