old Saws for Out of Doors,

Modern writers have the following:
 An old cart well used may outlast . new one abused. He has changed his one eyed horse for a blind one Tim was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a COW to ride on. The wolf sheds his coat once year, his dis position never. The eagle snatches a coal from the altar, but it fired her nest. Stability set trap and caught itself. Jack Little sowed little and lit tie he'll reap. He may well win the race that runs by himself. A wolf eats sheep but now and then, ten thousand are devoured by men.
 Bucephalus, tho horse of Alexander,
 Hath as lasting g fame as his master.

STILL MASTER OF THE BEASTS.
Lion Tanner Martin Recognized by the Animals After Years of Absence.

Lion Tanner Martin Recognized by the
 Animals After Years of Absence.
 When the celebrated animal tanner,
 Martin, had retired to private life one
 day he took a notion that he would
 visit his former large menagerie, which
 he had not seen for five years. It was
 in Brussels, and he started for that city
 from his country seat near Rotterdam.
 At o'clock, the time for feeding, he
 entered the menagerie. Being winter
 time Martin was wrapped in a cloak.
 He mingled with the crowd and waited
 until the animals would receive their
 food, for which they were waiting with
 wild impatience. While they were eat
 ing he began to cough. Suddenly the
 animals paused in their treat and lis
 tened, then broke into wild howls of joy and tore at the iron bars, so that
 ma,.y of the timid visitors fled from the
 menagerie. The parrots, kangaroos, pelicans and monkeys began to screech
 and scream, the hyenas and the wolves howled-in short, it was perfect bed lam.
 Then Martin stepped forward. With movement of his hand and with his powerful voice he command ed silence and suddenly every thing was quiet. He swung himself over the bar which separated the wis itors from the animals, and put his hand in the cages to fondle the animals. A mighty tigress showed more joy than any of the others. When Marti7'> hand glided over her magnificent fur her limbs trembled nervously; she uttered weak, tender grunts and through the
 iron bars, with her rough tongue, she licked the face of her former master. When he went away she lay down with out eating any more food.
 There was a lion named Nero, who
 had once bitten Martin in the hip, and had been severely punished for it. The lion had an unreconcilable hatred for the animal tanner. Nero made no other
 motion at Martins approach than to lift his head and eye him intently. He
 remained in his place, lying still in the back of his cage when Martin came near Martin spoke to him. He did not answer, and viewed Martin with appar ent indifference But when Martin was going away the lion, with a mighty spring, entirely unexpected, threw himself against the grating, pushed his claws through the iron bars, and with his claws tore off 8 part of Martins cloak. By a quick movement Martin escaped another injury from this ani mal-Philadelphia Times.

NOT NEEDED.

Iowa, having no need of Standing
Army should not appropriate any
money to encourage its organization
and annual drill. The industrial
classes cannot afford to be taxed to
pay for the sport Of those who desire
to have good time and play SOL
dier tor a few days at the expense Of
the public. The only class that has
any use for a standing army in this
country is composed of those, who,
having obtained control of legislation,
which has been used to rob and de-
press labor, desire u standing army
lest the public becoming aroused at
the enormity of the crimes perpetra-
ted in the sacred names of law. right
and justice should attempt by yio-
lence the overthrow of the wrongs
injected upon them.
The great corporations have made
it a point for the past few years to
employ Pinkerton's men, an armed
body of murderers. whenever their
methods have provoked resistance
or threatened trouble. The organi-
zing, arming and drilling the State
Militia, If for the benefit of any class,
is for theirs. The people are more
interested in legislation that will COM
pei corporate monopolies to do JUS
tice than in maintaining an army to
enable the corporations to enforce
their unjust usurpation of popular
rights. We would not have the DEM
ocratic senate adopt the republican
method of defeat by pigeon-holing,
but should the republican house pre-
sent a bill making such appropriation
meet it boldly and squarely like men
