REMINISCENCES OF OLD CIRCUS DAYS. Doings of the Men and 'Women Who Delight and Entertain the Great World of The- ater-Goers. Once a year T make it a point to go to a oir- cus. Not so much on account of witnessing the performauce, but to seo the animals, the people and remark the changes time is work- jug in the old,reminiscent ways of conducting these popular entertainments. It does one’s heart good now and then to be bronght face to fuce with the past, espe- cially when the past contains innumerable cirouses ; to travel over again the well beaten pathway of childhood; to inspect the old school house which stood under the brow of the hill, and sit down at the same worm-eaten desk which did service in boyhood and like Tom Brown, reverently trace out the first uses to which the new jackknife was put. The menagerie, which so fascinated me asa boy, has still the same indefinable charm, aud 1gazed upon the lious, the tigers, the leop- ards with as intense an interest as in those other days when “Every goose was a swan, 1ad, And every lass a queon. The mounts of the Lul s triumphed over gloom and space, They went caracoling sol- emuly round the rings at a gentle dog-trot, as. large as lifo and tranquilly undisturbed by the twinkling feet exccutinga bewitching pas on their backs. The large white horse in the ring left of the center was a fine looking creature of such a flawless white that had not Barnum forced upon our attention the abso- lute honesty of his circus, one might suspect that he had been putting a coat of whitewash on the animal behind the scenes, But there was something missing about the act that dampened the ardor of my enthusiasm groatly ; the clown failed to ask the queen of the arens, *‘What will you bLave mext, the balloons " It was a shocking oversight, an elimination of a time-honored custom which should be cried down, Then the old green painted boards did service as seats in those other da 100 were missing. In their places were sub- stituted real opera chairs, with tilting backs, but even if they had been upholstered in rus. sia leather they could not have won me from the sad contemplation that innovation has :bm the old-times of many tender memo- los. But let me lead you back to the menagerie. o There was ono lioniess with two eubs-_litle urry, yellow, lop-eared fellows, born in cap- #vity. The restricted nature of their horizon did not seem to have affected their spirits. They rolled over cach other, locked in what from appeared to be a death grip,” omerged the scuffle rathier tousled, but bappy, wt each otner rather detiautly with ears, then approac! tho bars, thrust a arp muzle out between them aud with two t paws dunglug down, su d the out- side world with an air of fricndly and alert inguiry. ho ‘great mother-cat, lolling on her side, watched their play with a sort of lazy affec: tion. Theu, turning her face toward the bars she glared outward at the light withia fixed and vacant staro—the absent, intense, stony lance of absolute mental nullity or the mo- onless gaze of the dreamer. She might have been looking beyond the bars of her cage, the canvas wall, the city without, straight away into the home of her freedom, und her old, wild life—just as I was carried back in mem- ory, by her presence, to days long since dead. 8he may Lave seen once more the tangled Jungle, the rank rich undergrowth through whioh she stole her noiseless, stealthy way, the oozy banks of the stream whero the mwud was trodden with buge cushioned paws; bave heard again the snap of branches under her cautious tread, the frightened rush of smaller animal life before her slow, croue ing step and through the stillness of the twi- light the voice of herimperious mate calling to her.
