Some time ago in Tunis Sicilian ath-
lete OF Rinaldo's circus excited general
admiration by his manly beauty and feats
ofstrength, He was in the habit ofoVer-
coming lion during the performance,
which, however, was trained to succumb.
The Bey of Tunis, hearing of this, sent
him an offer of a thousand ducats if he
would kill lion which he possessed.
The proposal was accepted, and on the
day appointed, the Bey and large COM
pany gathered around the pit where the
lion was kept The beast had been three
days without food and was furious The
iron door of the pit opened, but instead
of the athlete, a trembling dog was
thrown forward, which timidly took ref
uge in corner. The lion, who was at
distance, turned in surprise at the hum
bic intruder. His tail ceased to lash his
sides, his roars ceased, and he sat, with
paws extended, contemplating his vic
tim. Propeling himself forward upon his
belly he finally made aspring. The dog,
however, who had watched him with
vigilant eye, sprang in the opposite di-
rection. The lion seemed astonished at
missing his prey, but after rolling over
few times, made another jump, which
was also avoided. Pity for the dog indu-
ced the Bey to order cord to be lowered
for him, and while the lion was gyrating,
preparatory to a renewed spring. the dog
intelligently seized the cord with his
teeth, and was drawn up, AS he asCen-
ded, the lion sprang again, but was too
late. At this moment the SieiUan ap-
peared, calm and fearless. He was in a
rich circus costume and carried a heavy
mace. He took his position in the cor
ner previously occupied by the dog. At
first the lion did not perceive him, but,
on turning, his eye expressed vague in
quietude. He slowly withdrew few
steps, watching his enemy with furtive
and sidelong glance. The Scilian, on
the contrary, looked straight in his eye,
watching every movement. The lion
evidently had misgivings, but impelled
by hunger, sprang upon the man with
terrible roar. The Scilian slipped aside
with agility, and before the paws of the
lion touched the ground, a violent blow
from the mace upon the head laid him
insensible. The mace was raised for the
death blow, when the Bey interposed.
He offered the man another thousand
for the life of the beast 1t was accepted
and the lion was permitted to recover.

The Metropolitan of Moldavia welcom-
cd the Gar at Ungheni. The Gar re-
piled: 81 commend myself and my army
to the prayers of the Orthodox. 1 hope
to be met with friendly sentiments in
Roumania." During the review at Un-
gheni the greatest enthusiasm prevailed
among the Russian troops and among
Russian and Roumanian spectators. The
Emperor's carriage was escorted to the
station by crowd amid the cheers of
soldiers and people. At the station the
the Czar said to the officers: May God
protect you. Uphold the honor of the
Russian army. On his return to Kische-
nef, deputation from the town offered
the Emperor bread and salt. Tonight
the place is illuminated and great enthu-
siam prevails.

TRUE HAPPINEss-Most of US have
more ability to mold or modify ourselves.
than to alter circumstances, and our time
will be wisely spent in the endesHor. Re-
membering that happiness, in any ideal
sense, is an illusion, we shall, by sbating.
our hope, be strengthened against disap-
pointment. By refining our desires, we
may develop our character. By contem-
plating the permanent and Veritable, in
place Of the transient and fictitious, we
shall get larger atmosphere than is
breathed by ordinary humanity. The
permanent and veritable do not lead to
happiness; but they do.lead away from
the unhappiness which the pursuit Of
false happines creates.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-05-03

DIscoNTENT.-It is curious, when one
stops to think, how many discontented
moods grow solely, not out ofany tangible
hardship in our lot, but out Of some COM
parison of ourselves with our neighbors.
If another mans wife is handsomer,
another mans children cleverer, or his
business more prosperous, it really seems
to affect us in most unreasonable way.
The truth is that his gains are not our
losses, and, if all that he has were swept
away from him tomorrow, it would add
nothing to our store; and yet we indulge
in an illogical envy which makes our own
fate seem a hundred times more hard
by its contrast with his, as the black onyx
behind it brings out the clear lines ofthe
camao.

COURAGE.
by HARRY CORNWALL.

Courage el-Nothlng can withstand
Long wronged, undaunted land;
Ifthe hearts within her be
True unto themselves and thee,
Thou freed giant, Liberty
Oh no mountaln.nymph art thou,
When the helm Is on thy brow,
And the sword isin thy hand,
Fighting for thy own good land
Courage Nothing eer withstood
Freemen fighting for their good;
Armed with all their fathers fame,
They will win and wear name,
That shall go TO endless glory,
Like the Gods Of old Greek story,
Raised TO heaven and heavenly worth,
For the good they gave to earth.
Courage There IS none so poor
None OF ali who wrong endure),
None so humble, none so weak,
But may flush his fathers cheek
And his maidens dear and true,
With the deeds that he may do.
BE his days as dark as night,
lie may make himself light
What though sunken be the SUM-
There are stars when day is done
Courage Who will be a slave,
That have strength to dig grave,
And therein his ietters hide,
And lay tyrant by his side2
Courage Hope, howoer heIhy
For time, can never die
Courage, therefore, brother men
Cry "God aud to the fight again r.

HUMILrTY.-Nothing procures love like
humility; nothing hate like pride. The
proud man walks among daggers pointed
against him, whereas the humble and
affable have the people for their guard in
dangers. To be humble to our superiors
is duty; to our equals, courtesy; to our in
feriors, generoSitys and these, nothwith-
standing their lowliness, carry such a
sway as to command mems hearts,

STUDYING THE HABITS OF ANTS.

I have kept in captivity nearly halfo
our British species Of ants, and at the pre-
sent moment have in my room more than
thirty nests, belonging to about twenty
species, some Of which. however, are not
English. No two species are identical in
habits, and on various accounts their
mode of life is far from easy to unravel.
In the first place, most Of their time is
passed underground; all the education
fthe young, for instance is carried onln
the dark, Again, ants are ESSENTIALLY
gregarious; it is in some cases difficult to
keep few alive by themselves in eapti-
witty, and, at any rate, their habits under
such circumstances are entirely altered.
If on the other hand, a whole communi-
ty is kept, then the greater number in
troduCes fresh element of difficulty and
complexity. Moreover, within the same
species, the individuals seem to differ in
character, and even the same individual
will behave very differently under differ
ent circumstanca Although. then, ants
have attracted the attention of many
lturalists-Gould, De Geer Swamerdam
Latreille, Leeuwenhoeck, Huber and
have recently been the object of interest
ing observations by Frederick Smith,
Belt, Moggridge, Bates, Mayr, Emery,
Forel, and others, they still present one
of the most promising fields for observa-
ton and experiment.-LSir John Lub-

Many causes tend to produce this painful

purgatives tends to produce congestion of
