TIE Westfield correspondent of the Springfield Republican tells this httle incident: An illustration of what a man can accomplish in spite of ad- verse circumstances eSS bodily afflic- ton, with loving willing wife to aid him, is found in Dr C. x. Germalnc, for years one of our most respected and successful physicians. Three years ago his eyes began to fail, and gradually his sight weakened until about year ago, when 1t was entirely lost. He had TO means of livelihood aside from his profession, SO as his sight grew dim his wife, who is Q woman of broad culture and refine ment, accompanied him on his visits to patients tC guIde him. Gradually accustuming herself to note the va. rious symptoms of the sick, by earn
 est study she became fully competent when her husbands sight was wholly gone to describe the outward Symp- toms of patients tO him, SO that Ee has not been obliged to give up practice, but can be found every day going his regular rounds with his wife by his side. His former patrons with but few exceptions continue him as their family physician, and his blindness has not affected his skill and success ful treating various forms of disease. although of course it prevents him from practicing surgery. Every one sympathizes with Dr. Germaine in his afIlction, and admires his courage and his noble wife's devotion and energy.

Circus Management,

While SO much of our wonder and
admiration is expended upon the per-
| formance of the acrobats, the feats OF
the lady riders, and the amazing sa-
gacity of the traine animals, in reality
the most marvellous thing about the
circus is the circus itself; that is, the
manner in which this great composite
body of men, wagons, beasts, tents and
innumerable and indescribable para
phernalia is transported about the
country, and made to appearsin work
ing order within the shortest possible
space of time. For the benefit of our
readers who have not studied the matter
out, we will describe the arrangements
made by a leading manager for accom-
plishing this most wonderful under
taking. First a number of capable
and intelligent persons are secured,
whose business it is to travel ahead
and prepare the way for the coming
circus. These hire grounds suitable for
the purpose, and engage bill-posters,
who placard the town with large and
brilliantly colored pictorial representa-
tions of the performances. They dis
tribute printed bills containing the
names of the performers, and also give
a description of the procession, and the
route it will take in parading through
the town. These are distributed in all
the villages within a radius of fifteen
miles. Lengthened advertisements are
also inserted in all the local newspapers,
and it is no uncommon thing, as those
of us who have lived in small places
know, for 81 general holiday to be held
upon the day of their grand procession
through the town.
Previous to the company arriving,
the "tent men," with the baggage
wagons, proceed to the field, erect the
tent, make the ring, and prepare for
the various performances, fixing up
hurdles, gates and all the requisite
paraphernalia. by the time the COM
pany arrives everything is prepared:
The horses are stabbed, groomed and
fed, the "tableau carriages" as they
are called, are washed, and everything
made ready for the grand parade, which
USUALLY starts from the tent about an
hour and Il half previous to the first per-
formance. The show commences after
the parade, the first one occupying
about two hours. After this is over
the performers dine, and rest until
evening, the second performance COM
mencing about seven, and terminating
about ten o'clock. Immediately after
the last act, the whole OF the company
are advised at what hour in the morning
they will be required to start for the
next place This of course depen g, in
a gre at measure, upon the length of the
ourney and the state of the roads. The
usual time for starting is about five
o'clock, and they travel ut the rate OF
five or SIX miles an hour. The tent and
baggage men leave earlier. Many of
the principal members of the company
have their own living carriages, which
are fitted up with every convenience,
and very jolly and healthy life the oc-
cupants lead. Two performances are
invariably given each day, consisting OF
the usual equestrian and gympastic
feats, horse and pony racing, hurdle
leaping, and Roman chariot races,

In New Mexico.

Mrs. lie ~ Benedict draws this picture
of life in New Mexico: We observe an
other Asian custom here, that of Sleep
ing on the roofs in summer. The heav-
enly nights invite one out, and the flat
housetop is much plea:anter place to
make ones bed than the cellar like in
terror, with it's earthly scents. The
sluggard Mexican, who has killed the
long hours of the common enemy by
dozing III the sun, rouses toward sunset
and spreads out the colchon or wool
mattress, or bed Of skins if they are
very poor. The stairway is rickety
ladder, leaning against the outer wall OF
the mud house, and the rapidity and
ease with which the natives go up and
down is surprising. l have seen
women carry jars of water on their
head, not spillng a drop, as they
ascend the ladder, touching it only
with their feet. The old people
mummics of the time of Cheop5-go to
bed at sunset; little later the children
and chickens hop up the loose rounds
then the lord of the estate and his dusky
spouse, with her cat; and lastly the
ratty dogs, moving nimbly as The trained
ones of the circus. Haul up the ladder,
and the castle is secure. There is no
fear of rain. There is no dew, no fog
or mist to blur the clear shining of the
stars above. The low wind il the very
breath of heaven; the bright night is
filled with sleep.

Words of Wisdom

knowledge may slumber in the mem
ory, but it never dies; il is like the
dormouse in the ivied tower, that sleeps
while winter lasts, but awakes with
the warm breath of spring.
Do all in your power to teach your
children self government. If a child is
passionate, teach him by patient and
gentle means to curb his temper. If he
is greedy, cultivate liberality in him.
If he is selfish, promote generosity.
1t is not the same thing to be wise
that it is to understand; for many,
indeed, are wise in the things OF etern-
ity who cannot in any sort understand
them. knowledge is nought if it hath
not its use for piety,
Good words do more tLan hard
speeches; as the sunbeams, without
any noise, make the traveller cast of
his cloak, which all the blustering
wind could not do, but only make hin,
bind it closer to him.
The richer one is in moral excellence
the nobler should he appear in kline
consideration for all around him. Penu
riousness and selfishness would bedin
all his virtues, as rust will destroy tn
luster of The most brilliant metal.
1t is not the bees touching on tn
flowers that gathers the honey, but he
abiding tor a time upon them, AM
drawing out the sweet. 1t is not h
that reads most, but he that mediate
most on Divine truth, that will prov
the choicest, strongest Christian.

A Remarkable Centenarian,

A remarkable centenarian lives near
Greenup, Ky. Andrew Hood was born
near Winchester, Va, October II, 1863.
Accustomed to wild frontier life, his
father got tired of Virginia az the
advancing civilization approached his
settlement, and when Andrew was
eleven years old the major removed
thence to a place eight miles below
Prestonsburg and subsequently to the
mouth of the Little Sandy, in Greenup
c. unity, where he died and was buried
He speaks iamiliarly of Daniel Boone,
who was a hunting companion of dis
father, and whose departure for Mis-
souri, in a fiat bottomed boat he dis
tinctly rccollects. Were it not for his
almost total deafness many interesting
facts might be learned from him. His
habits are quite peculiar. He sleeps ali
day. retiring when the sun rises, and
sits up from sunset till the next morn
ing. He takes three meals day, never
smokes, but chews moderately; used to
drink whisky, but has reformed, and
loves to poke fire which burns on the
hearth summer and winter.

A GuanO Lizard,

There is displayed in a glass case in

guano lizard, lately brought from the
Navassa islands in the brig Romance.
This handsome crawler is three feet in
length, two-thirds of which is tail, with
The head of a crocodile. an enormous
mouth, with two dangerous rows of
sharp serrated teeth, two pouches or
sacs at the base of the jaw, loose skin
of dirty brown color, and a curious no.
dosity near the tip fits nose. 1t is one
of the largest of the species ever seen,
and on account of the size of the sacs
and the nodosity, is supposed to be forty
or fifty years old by people who are ac-
customed to them in the guano islands.
1t stands its change Of quarters remark
ably we'll, and is lively enough, but its

The Railway up Vesuyius.

The new railway up Vesnvius re-
duces the time required for the ascent
from an hour and half to eight mir
utes. 1t ruLs Almost perpen ndicularly
at au angle Of seventy degrees. The
train, says correspondent of the Lon
don Times, consists of a single carriage
attached to q rope, and carrying ten
persons only, and as the ascending car
riage starts another, counterbalancing
it, comes down from the summit, the
weight of each being five tons. The
carr iages are SO constructed that, rising
or descending, the passenger sits on a
level plane, and whatever emotion or
hesitation may be felt on starting
changes, before one has risen twenty
meters, into II feeling of perfet security.
The motion, a.so, is very gentle and the
effect is magnificent, if not, indeed,
grandly awful, as when hanging mid
way against the side of the cone, one
looks from the window directly upward
or downward along the line, which, its
slight incline alone excepted, is perfectly
perpendicular. Dismounting at a little
station at the summit, one can scarcely
be said to Chamber TO the edge of the
crater, for the company have cut a con-
venient winding path up which all, ex-
cept the aged, heavy or feeble can walk
with ease.

An Autumn Picture,

Sky deep, intense, and wondrous blue,
With clouds that sail the heavens through;
And mountain slopes so broad and fair,
With here and there, amongst the green,
A maple or an ash-tree seen
In glowing color, bright and rare.
Green fields, where silvery ripples fade,
With cattle resting in the shade;
Far mountains, touched with purple haze
That, like veil OF morning mist,
By CLEANS OF golden sunlight kissed,
Seems but breath OF by-gone days.
And clover which has bloomed anew
Since shining scythes did cut it through,
And corn-Helds with their harvest fair,
And golden-rod upon the hill,
And purple asters blooming still,
And sunlight melted into air.

White POppies.

Oh mystic, mighty flower, whose hail white
leaves,
Silky and crampled like banner furled,
Shadow the black mysterious seed that Yields
The drop that soothes and lalls restless
world;
Nepenthes for our foe, yet swift to kill.
Holding the knowledge of both good and III.
The rose for beauty may outshine thee far;
The lily hold herself like some sweet saint
Apart from earthly grief, as is star
Apart from any fear of earthly taint;
The snowy poppy like an angel stands
With consolation in her open hands.
Ere history was born, the poets sung
How godlike Thone knew thy compelling
power,
And ancient Ceros, by strange sorrows wrung,
Sought sweet oblivion from thy healing
flower.
Giver of sleep! Lord OF the land OF dreams!
Oh simple weed, thou art not what man deems.
The clear-eyed Greeks saw oft their god OF
sleep
Wandering about through the black mid
night hours,
Soothing the restless couch with slumbers
deep,
And scattering thy medcated flowers,
Till hands were folded for their final rest
C.asping white poppes DER pu' 'seless breast
We have clearer vision; every hour
Kind heart and hands the poppy juices
mete,
And painting sufferers bless its kindly power
And weary ones invoke its peaceful sleep
Health has its rose and grape and joyful palm,
The poppy TO the sick is wine and balm.
/ sing the poppy! The frnil snowy weed!
The flower of mercy! that within its heart
Doth keep drop serene Tor human need,
A drowsy balm Tor every bitter smart.
For happy hours the rose will idly blow;
The poppy hath charm for pain and woe.
