The Star of Hope.
What cheers the lonely wanderer's toil,
In search of wealth, on foreign soil,
And lights his features wah a smile?
The star of hope.
The sailor boy on his giddy height, ,
Rcck'd to and fro, in darkest night.
Still sees, with clear, enraptur'd sight,
Tlie star of hdpel
But. ah! the captive best can tell,
Boora'd from tho light of Heaven to dwsll;
What cheers the darkness ol" his cell
The star of hope! "
The absent lover knows its light;
It charms his heart with visions bright,
He trails, led on by fancy's night,
Thc star of hope!
And they, who seek, from ila y to day,
Tidings of friends, far, faraway,
Lives 'neath that bright aad heaven born
ray
The star of hope!
When bending o'er some loved one's couch -
Back'd bv disease's with'ring touch.
What hides thc tyrant's dread approach?
" The star of hope!
What lights tho Christian OIL bis road,
Sustains his heart "neath sorrow's load,
And points to Heaven, and ti) Cod?
Thc star of hope!
What gilds the morning of our life?
What cheers the soul in earthly strife
And boothe's the closing eve of life?
The ste r nf Iii ?pc!
Hope is the prince", thc freeman, peas?
ant's friend,
Its cheering ray on all alike descend;
Oh! ever on life's thorny patli attend,
Thou star of hope!

WINNSBGUO, July, ISi'J.
A DUEL IN A BALLOON:
An affair of this nature took place
on the occasion of the last ascent but
one of the celebrated and lucky aero?
naut, M, G ?dard. M. Godard took
with him on that day, as his compag?
non du voyage, a wealthy private gen?
tleman, who paid one thousand francs
for the privilege of sharing in the
perils of tho expedition. Tho weather
could not have Loen niory propitious,
and tho. balloon shot up rapidly to a
considerable altitude.
"What effect does that have upon
you?'' askod M. Godard to his com?
panion.
"Nothing," said he, laconically.
"My compliments to you,'7 said M.
Godard. "You aro the first whom I
have ever soon arrive at stich an alti?
tude without betraying some emo?
tion."
"Keep on mounting," said the tra?
veler, with a gravity supreme.
JM. Godard C).I:K ottuaOlUC ballast,
and the balloon ascended" some 500
feet hight r.
.'And no.T,'* added M. Godard,
"coes your heart beat?"
"Nothing yet," replied his compa?
nion, with an air which approached
closely to impaiionoe.
.'Tho. deuce!" exclaimed "AL Godard.
'.You have really, my dear sh', the
most portee*, qualifications to be an
ter->aaut."
The balloon still aseeuiled; when I
1,000 feet higher, M. Godard interro?
gated a third tune his companion
"And now?"
"Nothing, nothing-not tho shadow
of a lear whatever!" answered the
tra velor, with a tono positively discon
. tented, and like a mau who had expe?
rienced a prob.und deception.
"Goodness me! so much the worse
then," said the seronaut, smiling;
"bat I must renounce all hopes of
making you afraid. The balloon is
high enough. We are going to de?
scend." '
"To descend?"
"Certainly; there would lie danger
in mounting higher."
"That does not make the slightest
difference to me; I do not choose to
descend!"
"You what?" asked M. Godard.
. ' 'I say I wish to ascend higher ; keep
on mounting. I have given 1,00U
francs to experience some emotion; I
must do so, and I will not descend
until I have felt some emotion."
M. Godard commenced to laugh: he
behoved at once that it was all a joke.
"Will you ascend once more?" de?
manded the traveler, seizing him by
the throat, and shaking him with vio?
lence; "when shall I feel some emo?
tion?"
AI. G. relates that at this moment
he felt himself lost. A sudden and
dreadful revelation broke upon him in
regarding tho strangely dilated eye of
his compagnon du voyage; he had to do
with a madman !
To try to make a maniac listen to
reason-to ask for help amidst the
clouds.
If even the unfortunate seronaut
had any defensive weapon, he would,
after all, have been capable of defend?
ing himself; but it is not usual for
people to furnish themselves with
pistols for a voyage in a balloon, and
certainly one would not dream of
meeting with a warlike encounter ta
the sturt*. v
Thc earth was five thousand feet
beneath-moot horrible depthjandthe
least movement of the now furious
madman might eanse tho car to cap?
size.
M. .Godard, witb^ the presence of
mind acquired by him in so many of
his daring ferial expeditions, made all
these reflections in the space . of a
second.
"Ah, ah, you aro mocking me, my
fine fellow, continued the madman,
without loosening his grip. "Ah, you
think to rob me of 1,000 francs, as
well as my emotion. Very well, be
qniet. It's my turu to laugh. It's
you now who are going to cut a caper. "
The madman was possessed of pro?
digious muscular strength. M. Go?
dard did not even attempt to defend
himself.
"What do you wish from me?"
''Simply to amuse myself ia seeing
you turn a summersault," answered
the madman, with a ferocious smile.
"But first," (the m:idmau . seemed to
bethink himself,) "I have my idea. I
! wish to see if I can't find some emo
Ltion up there. I must put myself
I astride on the semi-circle."
i The madman indicated with his
i finger the upper part of the balloon.
. Just in speaking, he commenced to
! climb along tho t .rds which held the
car attached to the balloon.
M. Godard, who had before trem?
bled for himself, was forced to do so
now for the madman.
"Hut. miserable man, you are going
! to kill yourself; yon will be seized
with vertigo."
"No remarks." hissed the madman,
seizing bini again by tho ?rollar, "or 1
will af once pitch von into tho abyss.
"At least," observed M. Godard,
"allow me to put this cord around
your body, so that you may remain
attached to the balloon."
"Be it so," said the madman, whr
appeared to comprehend the utility ol
? the precaution.
I Thia done, furnished with his core
1 of safety, the madman commenced t<
climb among the ropes with thc agility
of a squirrel. He roached the balloon,
and placed himself astride the semi
circle as ho had said. Once there, he
rent the air with a lout shout of tri
umph, and drew his knife from his
pocket.
"What are you going to do?" asket
M. Godard, who feared that he migh
have an idea of ripping open the hal
loon. .
"To make myself comfortable forth
with." Uttering those word?, tin
madman siowiy eur the cord of safety
which M. Godard had attached to hi:
body.
With a ningle puff of wind to shaki
tho balloon, the miserable ereatnr.
must roll over into the abyss! M
Godard shut his ovos, in order not t<
see. Tho madman chips his hands
he Cannot contain himself with de
light, lie spurs the balloon wit!
his heel, as if on horseback, to guidi
its. Hight.
"And now," yelled forth the mad
mau, brandishing his knife, "we ar
going to laugh. Ah, robber, yoi
thought to make me descend! Vcr
well. It is yon who are going to tum
ble down, in a moment, and quiche
than that!"
M. Godard had 'not time to make
movement or put in a single word
Before he was able to divine the in
fernal intention of the madman, th
latter, still astride of thc sexni-circic
had cut-oh, horror!-four of th
cordages which suspended the car t
tho balloon ! The car inclines herr
bly-it only holds by two, I wa
going to say by one cord, so slight d
they appear! It would have been a
over with Godard ii* he had notgraq
ed desperately at tho two remaining
The knife of the madman approach?
the last of the cords-yet a monier
and all will be oyer!
"A word, a single word," cried IV
Godard.
"No; no pardon," vociferated tl
madman,
"I clo'not ask for pardon. On tl
contrary-"
"What is it you wish, then ?" eric
tho madman, astonished.
"At this moment, now," continue
the oronaut, hurriedly, 'we are at
height of 5,000 feet,"'
"Stop," sadd the madman; "th
will bo charming to tumble down fro
suqh a height."
"It is still too low," added M. G
dard.
"How so?" asked tho madma:
nearly stupefied.
"Yes; my experience as an reronni
has taught me that death is not cr
tain to ensue from a fall from this el
vation. Tumble for tumble, I min
prefer to fall from such a height as
be killed outright, rather than to ri
only being lamed. Have the chavi
to precipitate me from a height
9,000 feet, only."
"Ah! that'll do," said the madma
whom th? mention of a more horrir.
tall charmed amazingly.
M. Godard follows heroically 1
purpose, and throws over an enormous
quantity of ballast. The balloon
makes a powerful bound, and mounts
500 feet in a very few seconds. Only
(and whilst the madmun surveys tlu's
operation with a meuaeing air) the
ajronaut thinks to accomplish another,
in a sense quiie contrary.
The quick eye of M. Godard had
remarked that among the cords spared
by tjke madman, figures the one lead?
ing to tho valve. His plan is taken.
He draws this cord, it opens the valve
fixed in the upper part of the balloon
for the purpose of allowing any excess
of tho hydrogen gas to escape, and the
result which he hoped for was not long
in making itee.1*" apparent. Little be?
little the madman becomes drowsy,
asphyxiated by the vapors which sur?
round him.
The madman being sufficiently as
pllyxiated for his puiposo, M. Godard
allows the balloon to descend slowly
to the earth.
Tho drama is finished. Arrived on
terra Jirmu, M. Godard, not bearing
any hatred to the author of his peril?
ous voyage, hastened to restore him
to animation, ano then had him con?
veyed, hands and feet hound, to the
neighboring- siation.
