It was In Baltimore where It hap^ pened, and a menagerie the scene. It seems thatthe Erapttetorof the show was the possessor of a little imb and a large lion. Being of a plons tnm of mind, he proposed to Improve his opportnnlty, and Inenlcate a beantlfal moral lesson. In showing In reality what the Holy Bible only mentions as a re- mote protabUltr; so he' conlUlently approached the csge wherein a hnngty lion was a-rearlng and a- roBilngaaheluid been prevlonsly Instmcted to do. Then: he.tenderly took op his tender little lamb, which seemed to be llv to the racket, and liever once winced as it gazed throngh the bare at the angry one. The showman smoothed and patted the Inno- cent oreatnre In his arms, and then, taming to the andlence, remarked that he proposed to show the Uon and the Iamb Ivlng down hwether as If they had been friends aU'their lives. The man looked very beantfhl while maung this brief speech, and there was a sort of benlgimess ahont his Ihce that showed that his thooghta were "In that h^py land, far, Ihr away r* and that he longed for heavenly rest and peace, rtv'e wonld here tske occasion to say that-OS showmen are not natarally 'wicked— that now and then we come across an angelic side- show man or menagerie man whose every look de- notes peace 'with all the world, and an abiding fiUth In the merits of his show and in the conlldence and "sappott of the press and the pnbllc" This Balti- more . man was one of that persoasioii Ed.] So when he had aroosed the Interest of the spectators as weu as of the Uon and the Iamb, and seemingly t>reathed m silent praver or something, he lifted a single bar of the cage and passnl (n air iambi and everybody expected to see It chawed op in a minute or two ij the raging king of the forest; bnt the lamb didn't mind It a tAt, seemed to know aU atioat the real statos of the fetodons creature, and gave- the lion "a bnck In the ribs that sent him tremliUng 'With fear Into a comer of the cage, where he moaned himself hoarse with fear," to the great sar- prise and wonder of the entire assemblage! It was not nntll the small sheep wns lifted ont that the Hon resnmed his warlike and ferocious aspect. We have since learned that some wicked person lad tampered with the pen wherein the peacefol lamb reposed, and snrrepiltlonsly changed it for a Ogbtlnglamb. Hence the nnlooked-for discrepancy In the performance and the faUare of the toactdng scene representing the Uon and the lamb in real Pres- byterian close commnnton En.] It Is pnlnfOI to note the strange effect the saccessfUl "Pinafore" has upon the legitimate stage and the eqoau.v leglQ- mate old-ntagers.
