hardly fail to have its own way, il it set
about it. The very strong will of the

pleased to see out, and looking SO much
better; and were glad to hear that he
was improving and gaining strength
every day. Ozark has very much i'm

District, Gen. ii. B. Armstead. The
noise and confusion of the circus was
too much for the Court and it adjourned
over day. We went to see the lions,
camels and monkeys and elephant, and
after getting that far, thought it would
be no great harm to slip in and see the
ring performance. Getting behind Col.
Tom. Berry, we squatted quietly down
in very small compass, and felt secure
y safe. But on turning our head, who
should we spy, drawn up, if possible
smaller than were we, our good Metho-
dist Bro, Oh. Gregory. He, had "just
stepped in to see the ID in tights,
that he should know better how to warn
the unwary of the dangers and pitfalls
Of the circus and its surroundings" If
he did not see the old fellow in all his
spangles, it was not for want of close at
tention. We can do no less than to
hand our mueh-tempted brother, over to
the kindly admonitions Of Bro. With
