About CirCuSeS.

Circus men do rot lead easy lives, nor
do they make money rapidly. They seem
to follow the business just rs people go
to see them pcrform--bccause they like
it, There are in the United States, tray
cling the present season, no less than
thirtv-two different circus companies.
The fitting out of iirSt-c class circus,
with a menagerie, costs fully 100000.
The expenses of new tent, with poles,
ropes, seats, lamps, banners and entrance
curtains, is little short of $4,000. The
baggage wagons range in value from
$500 to 500. The extra horses needed
for them are from 5000 TO $500 pair,
and the great gided show chariots cost
from -, 800 to $4,000. Trick horses
range from 81 800 to S3,OOOin value, and
pad horses from $1,000 to $4,000 ;
horseback act horses from 81 POO to
$4,000. First class stock gymuasts and
riders receive from $40 to S25 per week.
and their board, for the travelling season.
Frs class men or women riders receive
from $50 to S75 per week and their
| board: clowns from $50 to SlOO Eques-
trian stars like Sebastian receive from
$3.50 to 5000 n week. Six or ten aero
bats, six riders, and half dozen super
numeries usually form the complement
of circus, in addition to the stars. The
daily expenses for such an establishment
are from 5000 to 81 900. Acrobats and
gymnas,s begin their education at four
to eight years of age, when their young
limbs are pliable, and sometimes earlier,
and continue their violent exercises until
nearly 80, when their muscles become
too rigid for the work. 1t is q mistake
to suppose that circus men lead diSsipa
ted and spcndthrift lives. The exercise
of their calling requires relaxed sinews
n clear head, and body in complete
health. A miScalculation, or n faiur,
of strength during n leap, might cntai
death. They are,thcreforc,vcry sparing
or entirely abstcmous in the use o.
strong drink, and very moderate in any
qualification of sense whatever. RctircC
circus men may be found in any parts o
the country, and are esteemed citizens
The amount invested in the circuscs anC
monagcrics that are now in this countr,
is estimated at 81, 100000. Circuscs dt
rot travel during the winter in tn
northern States. They either lay up un
til the spring and start upon their tour
from the LIST of April to the 10th of May
or they travel in the Southern States
beginning their marches from the LIST T.
the 10th of November. About ten q
the now show proprictors are yer
wealthy, as for instance, the Barnm
party, Forcpaugh, John Robinson, Bur
Robbins, CoupIIyatt Frost, of the Van
amburg show, and w. w, Cole. TIL
great majority of show proprietors, how
: ever, from Dan Rice and John Ol}ric
down, are in the hands of the shcr
from two to twenty times during eac
season. The weather is their create,
enemy, a rainy day setting them bac
badly.

Fresh Wafer in the Atlantic.

One of the most remarkable displays
OF nature may be seen on the Atlantic
coast, eighteen miles south of st. Angus
tine. Off Matanzas Inlet and three miles
| from shore, a mammoth fresh water
| spring gurgles up from the depth of the
ocean with such force and volume as to
attract the attention of all who came in
its immediate vicinity. This fountain Is
| large, bold and turbulent. 1t is notice
able to fishermen and others passing in
| small boats near tie shore. For many
years this wonderful and mysterious
freak of nature has been known to the
people of St Augustine and those living
along shore, and some of the supersti-
tious ones have been taught to regard it
with a kind of reverend awe, or holy
horror, rs the abode of supernatural in
iluences. When the waters of the ocean in
its vicinity are otherwiqe calm and tranquil
the uphcaving and t.oubled appearance
| OF the water shows unmistakable eviden-
ces OF internal commotions. An area of
about half an ace rshows troubled APP
pearance-somethiug similar TO the
boiling of n washe. woman's kettle. Six
or eight years ago Commodore Hitch
cock of the United STATES Coast Survey,
was passing this place and his attention
was directed to the springs by the up
heavings of the water, which threw his
ship from her course as she entered the
spring. His curiosity becoming excited
by this circumstance, he set to work to
examine the surroundings, and found
six fathoms of water everywhere in the
vicinity, while the spring itself was al
most fathomlcss.

always bringing happy smile to Estcllcs
face, ever receiving a glad welcome: for
was he not his friend?
And so the summer days passed away.
and the gay little party that had campcd
out on Red Rocl, Lake broke \up, each
going his way; and the last night that
the steady little light, so like star,
shown down upon them from the hill
side cottage, Caryl was there without
Clarence--for an imperious message
from fair Edith that day, had sent him
speedily on his way to her, eager to see
her and take her in his arms again /;
while the light burned in the upper win
dow for him
He had not gone to tell Estelle good
by lie was little cowardy about it,
for he knew he could not promise to see
her ever again, and he dared not tell her
about Edith Saroris.
Caryl hadspol;cn sharply to him about
it--nore sharply than he ever had spoken
before--but Clarence had laughed it
off.
And gonc-out OF Estelles life.
That night the light cleaned steadily
all the hour until the usual hour for its
eXtinguishment, shining not for the
lover Estellc loved, but for the man who
had loved her with all his soul-Gordon
Caryl whom she liked because he was
his friend.
That next day he went to say farewell
and there was nothing for him to do but
to tell her just how it was, and then to
witness her anguish, her proud silent
agony, that refused itself plant or cry
"If you could but forget him, Estelle !
Can you not forget him, and let me love
you? Oh, child! if you but only knew
how | had loved you from the very first!
Ii you but only knew, to what rest, and
comfort, and happiness, would take
you!"
Her quiet, white face awcd him, as
the face of the dead slcnces one.
"That could never be" she answered,
simply. Il could never learn to unlovc
him. And besides" and then n strange,
wandering, far away look came to her
eyes that terrified him. because he saw
that the awful sorrow was stealing her
rcason--"bcsidcs, | am very sure he will
come back again.
n
1t has been fifty years since then, and
Clarence and his frivolous wife have led
n cat-and-doG's life, uAtil their grand
children have l. med to hold them in
contempt; while away among the sol
emn and silent morltains there lives n
silvcr-hairod old woman, '1ith a sad,silcnt
face, the one chief business of whose life
has been, for half century, to keep
ready for its nightly burning Il little, old
fashioned lamp.
And not night has it ever been miss
ing, shining like a star from the window
of the little cottagc,whcre Gordon Caryl
and his sister had lived years and years,
the true, honest friends of the gentle,
patient, ptiful old woman, who waits,
and waits, and waits!

Stirring the Waters.

A gentleman of Philadelphia furnishes
an interesting point in connection with
the recent revision of the New Tes-
lament 1t will be observed that the
miraculous stirring of the waters of the
pool of Bethesda, as told in the fifth
chapter of st. John, has been omitted by
the revisers. This was done because,
from the documents in the possession of
the two committees, there was reason to
believe that the story was spurious, and
has been unwarrantably inserted in the
translations of the original. The part
omitted reads: 'For an angel went
down at n certain season into the pool
and troubled the water; whosoever then
first after the troubling of the water
stepped in was made whole of whatsoev-
cr disease he had This stirring of the
waters, which in the early days of the
church had been ascribed to supernatu-
raj causes, constantly occurs at a spring
in Kissingen, Germany, and is due to
natural conditions. The medicinal quail
tiles of the spring are strongest when at
periodic time the surface of the water
is stirred by curious effervescence re-
sembling the action of boiling. tits be
| lievcd that from such Il spring originated
the insertion of the alleged miracle in
the New Testament.

HER WAITING.

Clarence and Caryl both paused ut the
sight of her, making the fairest picture
they had seen since they started on their
skctching tour, a month before.
1t was midsummer now--mild July
fcrycnt, sunny day; and they had loun-
gcd along the country road leisurely,
until the ardent heat and WEAKNESS, and
perhaps Just little lazincss, induced
them to ret off the regular road, in
among the great wooded slopes on the
hillside, where little rivulct of clear
water foamcd and lashcd itself down from
some icy mountain spring away up i'll
the solemn fastncss among the clouds.
And in among the ilickcling shadows,
standing in the crystal brook holding her
blue calico skirt up in her little sunburnt
hands, so that the lovely contour of her
ankles were so innoccntly displayed
the little, battered hat of grass aud-d daisy
wrcathcd straw hanging on her bare
| arm-her dark, ,luStrous dark, hair gently
blowing in the brceze-hcr great, won
dcring, dark eyes shyly watching the ap
preaching travellers, who had halted SC
smddonly--it certainly was rs charming
pastoral as imagination could have
invented, with all the accessories o.
hckering sunshine and solemn shadow
purling water and signing wind.
"What Il picture! Clarence said al
most revercntly "What n face! Sec
those eyes, Caryl!' y
Caryl laughed.
"Vcry pretty--vcry pretty indeed
But, rs long as she has discovered us, w
may as well go forward. It's glorious
cool and refreshing here, but dare sa,
we've a fye-mile tramp ahead of us ye

They continued until they came up t,

their progress.

Wars of the llumminS Birds.

Whenever it happens that two of the
the species meet among my flowers, they
signal the encounter with shrill war cry
and dash at each other in fierce antago-
usm. The spirit of Bellona infames
their souls. For an instant they close
together, then give each other chase,
and with the speed of meteors are lost
to my view. Shortly after, the return
OF one alone announces that the victory
has been quick and decisive Dimnu-
tive as are these puny sprites, they are
heavily charged with combativeness.
The entire race are pugnacious and quar-
relsome to an extraordinary degree, i'm
pudently assaulting each other and birds
of much greater size which venture into
their ncighborhood or occasion them a
fancied annoyance. Even the hawk is
not safe from their attacks, and has been
seen worried and whipped by them. Mr..
