sprung up, eelAeu tue UeaSC ny tuo maho,
placed her foot on him and lashed him
until he was completely subjected and
lay docile at her feet.
Enthusiastic applause and shouts Of
appreciation rewarded her courage.
"When will the wedding take place ??
she asked of Edgar when she had left
the cage.
"The day after tomorrow"
"Will you undertake to give him q
letter yourself, and to him in person p
"If you command me-"
81 beg you to do so |" HERNIA pressed
Edgar's hand, but he seized hers and
covered it with kisses.
The next morning the lion tanner
wrote to the prince. She wished to see
him only once more, and begged him to
come to the menagerie at the usual
hour, promising in return to leave
Bucharest on the day of his wedding.
Edgar gave the letter to the prince
himself, who read it, smiled and said,-
81 will come"
An hour before midnight the prince
appeared at the door of the menagerie ;
it opened noiselessly as usual. HERNIA
appeared. dressed in short fur jacket,
in the pale light of the stars and the
show. She took him by the hand and
led cautiously along the dark passage.
AS usual, second door grated on its
hinges, and HERNIA, leading the prince
into that completely dark space, Put her
arms around his neck and kissed him
with savage tenderness.
Then she suddenly disappeared; the
door was shut violently, and the princes
foot touched something living which
moved. What was it? Had she not as
usual led him into her little salon?
A moment afterward bright red
light appeared. HERNIA fixed a torch in
ring in front of the lions cage, and in
the midst of the prison, in the midst of
the lions, was the prince. HERNIA stood
with he rarms folded before the bars,
and fixed the prince coldly with her
large blne eyes; 1iabolical smile
played on her lips. :.
The prince with a rapid movement
tried to open the door, but in vain.
"In heavens name, HERNIA, what is
your intention?"
II am celebrating my marriage with
you and my lions are to be my we'd
ding guests"
"Are you mad?'
81 am in full possession of my senses.
You have betrayed me. l have con-
demned you to death. Now to wake
my friends?' And she woke up the
sleeping liens and excited them with
her whip, while the prince cried for
help. But his cries were drowned by
the wintry storms. The lions. irritated
and encouraged by Herma's cries,
sprang upon him. His blood was already
flowing. He supplicated and defended
himself desperately, while she, her face
leaning against the cold bars, feasted
her eyes on his mortal anguish.
Some time passed before the lions
finished their horrible work. When
the prince lay dead on the floor of the
den, the lions skunk away frightened
and began to lick their bloody paws.
That very night the beautiful lion
tanner disappeared from Bucharest, and
she has never been heard of since.

= That Line Fence.


Old Farmer Smith came home in a milf
From his field the other day,
While his sweet little wife, the pride of his
life,
At her wheel'was spinning away.
And ever anon gay little song
With the buzz of her wheel kept time;
And his wrathful brow is clearing now,
Under her cheerful rhyme!
"Come, come, little Turk, put away your
work,
And listen to what say;
What can do, but quarrel brew
With the man across the way?
have built my fence, buth won't commence
To lay single rail
His cattle get in, and the feed gets thin,
am tempted to make sale ''
"Why, John, dear John, how you do go on
I'm afraid it will be as they say
emo, no, little wife, have heard that strife
In lawyers hands don't pay.
60 He is picking flaw, to drive me to law,
I am told that he said he would,
And You know, long ago, law wronged me SO,
Vowed that never should.
So what can do, that will not rue,
To the man across the way?''
eff that's what you want, can help you
haunt
That man with a spectre gray.
"Thirty dollars will do to carry YOU through,
And then you have gained neighbor
1t would cost you more to peep in the door
Of court, and as much more labor.
Just Use your good sense--let's build him a
fence,
And shame bad acts out of the fellow"
They built up his part, and sent to his heart
Loves dart, where the good thought mellow
That very same night, by the candle light,
They opened with interest letter;
Not word was there, but three greenbacks
fair
Said--the man was growing better.

HERNIA, THE LION-TAMER:

1t was in the beginning of the year
1859 when the famous Harsberg men,
agerie came to Bucharest for the first
time. All the town was in a state of
great excitement about the number
and rarity of the animals, the beauty
of the lions, and above all about the
tanner, who performed some remarkable
feats of strength. Herman Dalstren
was her name; she was young Sweed,
beautiful, distinguished, bold and un-
approachable. 1t is true that she was
supposed to be the mistress of the
owner of the menagerie; but the rich
Boyards who lavished homage upon her
in order to win her good grace were
met only by cold politeness and sar-
castle haughtiness which drove them
away. She lived with the Harsberg
family at the first hotel in the town,
went to the managerie and returned
rom it in "a carriage like a lady of
high degree received no visits, and
was never seen alone either in the
street or anywhere else. This vestal
severity puzzled the gallants as we'll as
the ordinary mortals, so that the
Swedish ion-tamer soon became as
popular at Bucharest as La Catalina
and Lola Montez.
One night Prince Maniasko, the
spoilt child of the ladies of Bucharest,
who had just returned from an excur-
sion to Paris, came to the managerie
He reviewed the different animals in
company with some friends, was highly
amused by the explanations and by the
feeding, and at last stopped before the
lions cage awaiting the arrival of the
beautiful Sweed with a special smile
on his lips. Suddenly little door
opened in the back wall of the cage
and Herman appeared in the midst of
frantic applauses. She threw off, with
an indescribable movement of pride,
the large silk cloak that covered her,
and advanced into the cage dressed in
costum OF white satin bordered with
ermine, whip in her hand, tall, slen-
der, with the nobelest face in the world,
to which her golden curls and her fresh
color Impaired an irresistible grace.
The prince was at once fascinated; he
followed each of her movements with
feverish agitation, His heart beat
when she placed her pretty head in
the terrible lions mouth, and he trem-
bled, half for pleasure, half for fear,
when she began to harangue the dis
obedient animals and kick and fog
them.
Hardly had Herman left the cage
when the Prince Manasko was bowing
down before her while she put on her
cloak with the aid of Edgar, Harsberg's
son, q young man OF remarkable beauty.
She fixed her blue eyes, astonished and
almgst frightened, upon the ideal OF
beautiful, almost femme figure; she
did not reply to his questsons proudly
and.coldly, but with embarrassment and
and with smile of indescribable sweet,
ness.
The prince came every night, and
Herman received him not only with
affability, but she even looked for him
