great gayjy painted orb towered
tremulous above tho leads of the gaping
spectators, and pressing against the cords
by which it was held down, it seemed only
to await the arrival of the bold aeronaut
to dart upward on its way.
'Here he is!' exclaimed the stragglers of
the crowd; and present!- a carriage drew
up,and outstepped Mr. Brown, the English
millionare, who had lately become an Irish
landed proprietor. Mr. Brown was a l'.ttle
dapper man, whom a very small amount of
pugilistic force would have sufficed to lay
level with the soil of his adoption. He was
one of those unlucky individuals who meet
an accident at every turn who, in enter
ing a room, invariably slip, tumble knock
down some piece of furniture, or sit down
beside their chair instead of upon it. He
seldom escaped UDScttiii'r his inkstand!

way,' and then coughing and choking for
half an hour; cutting his fingers, tearing
his coat, or knocking his forehead against
a door, so he rarely appeared in society
without scars, plasters, or bandages. In
practicing gymnastics he had knocked out
three teeth; in yachting .at Cowcs he had
been four times iiearly drowned; in shoot
the moors, in Scotland he liad lett
I- S7 '
trie grouse iv.harmed, but had blown off
twoiiif his fingers. A taste fjr,pvrotechny

his hair breadth sertpes and moving acci
dents amid coll isions, upsets and explosions,
would have served to fill two or three vol
ume of the Knglish Hull way Library, or
tho French JiiUioshsque des Ctemius tie
Fcr.
"At lengthhaving tried the three elements
of earth, water and fire, it occurred to Mr.
Brown that the remaining one of air, as
medium of locomotion, might be more a
grecable, and could not be more perilous,
than the others. He accordingly the year
before, when residing on his estate in Dev
onshire, had purchased an excellent bal
loon, and, strange to say, had made sever
al ascents, and had come down again in per
fect safety. On this occasion he meditated
a flight over tho green Isle, and intended
to como down at Belfast; but tho best in
V
formed members of the crowd asserted that
ho was going 'overy step of the way to
Ameriky.'
PLYMOUTH, IND. JANUARY 3, 1856.
A London friend, who had come to Ire
land on a fishing excursion, had promised
to join Mr. Brown in his flight; but, as it
would seem, his courage failed, and he
came not. Nowise discouraged, however,
Mr. Brown was just about to step into the
arrial car, when a tall strongly built man
suddenly stepped forward, and politely sa
luting the a?ronaut, said: 'May I ask you
a question Sir?'
'Certainly.'
'Is it true that you arc going to Ameri
ca.'
No; merelv to Belfast, wind and weather
permitting.'
'Belfast,' repeated the stranger in a mu
sing manner 'the north of Ireland, "Well,
that is just the direction toward which I
want to go, and I hate land traveling.
Will you, Sir, accept me as a companion?'
Mr. Brown hesitated for a moment, but
as he really wished for some one to accom
pany him he saw no serious objection to the
plan, and accordingly signified his acqui
escence, meroly remarking to the stranger
that Iiis costume seemed to light for the re
gions of cold air which they would have to
traverse. !
'Bah!' was the reply. I have passed
through more changes of climate than that,
and 1 am happily very robust.'
'Well,' said Mr. Brown, looking at the
massive frame of the unknown, 'my car is
large enough. Come, in the name of Prov
ence!' !5o they took their places, .ind
the word was given; 'Let go!'
The fifteen men whose hands were se
verely piessed by the straining cords, de
sired nothing better, and in a moment the
iY.o 1 l.:.liooii began to pail majestieally.
li e crowd sh.'U.ed and clapped their
hands.
'Ali!, cri'-d Mr.. Brown, 'this is delight
ful. Don't you think so?' Not receiving
anv answer, he turned and looked at his
traveling companion. There he was, lying!
almost flat on his face and hands, with his j
head over the side of the car, his eyes were ;
fixed, his hair bristling. j
Are you afraid? asked Mr. Brown. !
.V answer. 1 he oaiioon as?enüed rapid-;
y, and ere long arrived at the region of the j
clouds. Turning once more to his immo- i

slightly by the arm, and said: 'Are you j
ill? btill no reply but a fixed and stolid
stare. They were now at a great elevation;
clouds lay beneath finite space around
them.
buddenly the stranger stood upright, his J
face pallid as that of a corpse.
'Faster! faster!' he exclaimed in a tone
of authority; and seizing in succession three
of the bags of sand which served as ballast,
he flung them out of the car, at the same
time laughing in a strange, wild manner, j
Ha!' he cried, 'that's the way to travel!
We shall distance the swallow, we shall
tower above the eagle. When I was in the
Abruzzi with my rifle in my hand, watch
ing for st ray't ravelers, I never felt so excited
as I do now. Then their lives were in dan
ger, now it is my own.'
Very pleasant! thought the owner of the
balloon, I have picked up some rascally j
Italian brigand.
'Better to fight with the elements than
with custom-house officers?' continued his
companion. The Balloon ascended at a ter
rific rate. In his turn Mr. Brown stood up,
and laving his hand on tho stranger's arm
said: . " "
'For Heaven's sake, don't stir! Our lives
are at stake. I miut allow some of the gas
o
to escape, in order to repair your impru
dence.' 'How do you do that?'
'I have only to draw this string, which
is connected with tho valve.'
'And if you had not that resource, what
would bo tho consequence?'
'We should continue to ascend until
everything would burst faom excessive di
hraon.' The man continued for a few moments
in deep thought; then suddenly drawing
out a knife, he cut the cord a high as he
could räch.
; 'Fatiter!" faster!' he reiterated The stran
ger was a giant compared whh Mr. Brown,
who, perceiving that ho could obtain noth
ing by force, began to try conciliation.
'Sir said he in a soothing tone, 'jou aro
a Christian I make no doubt. Well, our re
ligion forbids homicide!'
'Faster!' shouted the "Lint; and seizimr
the remaining sacks of sand, ho scattered
their contents to the clouds. Mr. Brown
fell on his knees.
'Ah!' ho exclaimed, 'if you have no re
gard for your own life, at least havo some
pity on mine. I am young, ,rich, happy; I
have a mother and sister; in their name,-.!
conjuro you to stretch your hand up to. the
valve, and save us from a dreadful death by
allowing some gas to escape.'
'Shaking his wild locks, the strauger drew
off his coat, and exclaiming: 'We aro not
ascending!' flung it out.
'Your turn now!' ho continued; and with
out the smallest ceremony ho despoiled tho
unfortunate- Brown of his paletot, andwant to mount higher!
throw it over.
The balloon pursiVd ' its wild career
without stop or stay .
'IIa! ha!' said the s
anger, while we'er
thus climbing so plJisantly towards the
sky, I'll tell you a itory shall I? His
unhappy companion did not stir. Already
from the extreme rarity bf the air, the
blood was gushing from Ijs eyes and cars.
'Listen! Three years ag I lived in Mad
rid. I was a widower, jSvith one little
daughter, a gentle, brighteyed angel; her
long curling hair waving this moment be
fore my eyes. One day I went out early,
and did not return until late; my child, my
beautiful Emma, was golie; banditti had
come and stolen her away from me. But
my friend have you a cannon here?' Mr.
Brown made mechanically a sign iu the
negative. 'What a pity! I would have
bombarded Spain! Ever since I have
searched for ray child in every country of
Europe; but iu vain. Now I think she
may be in tho north of Ireland. Have' yon
a lucifer-match here?' Mr Brown made
no reply but shook his head. 'You have
not? Ah! if I could get one, I would set
the balloon on fire: and then, when reduced
to ashes, it would be much lighter? When
von first saw me this morning I vas oxam
ining the stupid faces of yon crowd, to
see if the dark foreiini one of mv Emma's
robber might be among them.'
It was evident to poor Mr. Brow n that
his travelling companion was a confirmed
lunatic. A sudden idea struck him
What is your name?'
Gerald Annesly
'The very same'
'What mean you?
I know where the wretch lives who
stole your child; we arc now just above the
spot. Draw the valve, Mr. Annesly, and
in a short time you will embrace your Em
ma
9
'No, no, you are deceiving me. Mv Em-
ma is not on earth: she is in Heaven. Last
jht she appeared to me in a dream, and
toid me so. That's the reason I want to
aSCend higher. Come, my friend help me;
lct us both blow as hard as we can on the
balloon. As we are beneath, our breath
must help it to rise. Blow! blow!'
Mr. Brown moved and tried to obey.
,1. .1 . o .
ji, noes not sin . conit', mount, on my
shoulders and push the ball n!'
And w ithout consulting him any further
the giant caught him up as if ho had been
a feather, and held him above his head say-
Xow push the balloon !'
j The unlucky victim tried rto obey, but j
j the blood blinded his eyes. There
was a horrible buzzing in his ears, and
lights flashed before him, for a moment
he thought of throwing himself over in or -
dor to end his torments.
'IIa!' shouted the madman, 'it does not :
At that moment the trembling hand
of Mr. Brown touched accidently the cord
cftho safety valve. He made it play,
and the collapsing orb began to descend
rapidly. Through the clouds it darted
downward, and the earth reappeared.
.Ah!' cried Annesly, 'instead of push
ing the balloon, as I told you, you drew it
downward. Push I say!'
'You see I am pushing as hard as lean.'
No; for here is tho earth!'
It id only that tho clouds ar rising tow
ard the upper regions.
'Well, let us do the same. Lct us
! throw out all our ballast.'
'We havo nomore."
Gerald Annesly laid Mr. Brown gently
in the bottom of the car.
'We have no more, ballast you say? he
asked looking fixedly at him.
'No more.' 7 . ..
'How much do you weigh?' This
question fell on poor Brown like a stuuning
blow. 'How much do you weigh?' repeat
ed his companion in a louder tone.
. 'Ah, very little; nothing that could make
the slightest difference a mere trifle.'
A mcro trifle! Well, even that 'will
make some difference.' Thon imminence
of the peril gave our teronaut presence of
mind.
My friend,' said he, 'your child is not
dead. I saw her last week near Belfast.
She is living with a family, who love Iter
and treat her as . their own. In a very
short time, if you will allow us to descend,
you will meet her.' Tho madman looked
at him with a wild doubting gaze,
'Yes,' continued . Urown eagerly, anx
ious to confirm tho impression he had mad.
you will soo her, your darling Emma, run
ning to meet you with outstretched arms,
and h:r fair golden curls waving in the
wind'-
. 'You lie! Emma's hair was as black as
jetl. .Man! you never saw her! How
much do you weigh?'
Ah! a mere nothing; only a few pounds!'
Gerald Annesly seized Mr. Brown with
both hands and held him suspended over
tho side of tho car. In anothor moment he
would have dropped him into the abyss of
space.
Annesly!' exclaimed the poor man, 'you
Yc! ye!'
'Your only wish is to lighten the bal
loon!' 'Yes.'
'Then how much do you weigh your
self?' .
'Two hundred pounds.'
'Well, if you were to throw yourself
over, the balloon lightened of such a great
weight, would dart upward with inconceiv
able rapidity
The madman reflected for a moment.
'lrue,' He laid Mr. Brown in the bot
torn of the car, and stared Avildlv around.

himself over disappeared.
Tho balloon and its owner reached the
earth in safety; the latter however, lay for
many weeks raving in brain fever. When
he recovered he gave orders to have his
perilous plaything sold at any sacrifice, and
soon afterward piovided himsolf with an
excellent cure laker, in tho l:apy of a prct-
ty young wife, under' whose tutelage 'the
masther,' as his Irish vabt remarks, 'is
growing a dale more hand v in himself So
this was Mr. Browns last ascent to the
clouds.

the vallev below, where the romotest ob-
jects possessed a brilliancy of coloring and
a sharpness of outline that seemed to an
nihilate distance. The scene, though sad-
ly changed since then, and now exhibiting
the marks of decay which time, neglect,
and the hand of violence have impressed
upon it, possesses much of the natural
beauty that then distinguished it. The
same hills, valleys, lakes, mountains,
streams and towering cedars that greeted
the intoxicated vision of the Spanish con
queror, and clothed the view with such
charms, met the eyes of our own brave
countrymen, as they approached the Aztec!
Capital. But the aspect of the city itself
is entirely changed, rnd w ould not be rec
ognized at this day as the proud place v. Inch
once, bv
its magnificence, astonished a
warrior accustomei
.il to the splendor oi on3j
ltrioö of tho eastern cc:i-'
i , , ,
of the richest count r
tincnt. The Like o Tescuco. which onW
entirely riuriounded aud traversed with its
canals, the imperinl city, hs receded scv -
oral miles. Then it was only approachable
through no now cause ways, built of olid
masonry; the houses the in solve 3 .Unding
on piles iu the water now, the city stands
upon the main land, high and dry. Then
villages lined the shores of the lake, ar.d
floating gardens danced gently on the un-
dulations of the waves. MoiC than orien-
tal splendor was everywhero visible, the
ruins of which are still to be traced by the
cautious traveller. The aspect of the city
is noAv Spanish; a Christian cathedral rears'
its front where the horrid teoculli once r.iis- J sight to tfoo tvo old people who h.wc worth
ed its infernal alters, red w ith the blood of'ered the storm nnd basked in the sunshine
human victims, devoted alivo to the sacri
ficial knifo by tho barbarous religion of the
country, to propitiate tho deities that were
supposed to preside over the destinies of
Mexico. These changes were effected bv
the people w hose descendants seem devoted
to the same fato that awaited the ancient
Mexicans al tho hands of the Spaniards.
Three hundred years "of rule in American
hands, would present probably as broad a
contrast, but how different in its character
f-oni that the Spaniards created! Tlie
country would be improved iu - every re
spect, under tho domination of the indefat
igibit Yankee, who never puts hand to any
thing susceptible of improvement, without
altering its character for tho better; its rich
resources would bo develoed, and applied
to the relief of humn wants and. the in

PREMATURE MATRUxONY.

up population, or as a mere social and eco
nomical convenience, but as the blending
of two spirits into one the masculine rep

GOLDEN RULES.
In a recent work on Homceopathy, by
Dr. Hempel, are the following "Twelve
Golden . llules" for the preservation of
health. Although they express no new
thought, they put into convenient shape
mar.y important principles of hygiene,
which cannot bo repeated too often.
1. Rise early, and make it a point to re
tire at ten o'clock; seven hours sleep should
suffice; although less may do in some cases,
ar.d in others more may be required.
