One fine summer morning, a few years since, there was a wonderful excitement in f., t -i, v:iL,rri. ,,f T? .IK- b...K-- All tb.. 1 1 i 1 ' t.oWards sunK' "bj,'c; iu lho c"nt"' w icil I timcci the nucleus.f ihy crowd. i Vea, then, what's the name of iu all, at 'all?' demanded one ragged (tusson. j 'Is it tied to llie tail of it he's roino; to o-o p?' nsked another. , , , . .

' P. . . tuC Deasys, we thought he d have carriages :U1(1 ll)1 s s alor,"-nu J ma) a in the harbor; but it never entered the heads; f any f us that nothing less would serve him than going eoorsing through tho air like a wild goose at the tail of a ballone, or j j whatsomever thev call it.' For gm0 time past tlie procoss 0f ifla. I ting the balloon had I een going on; and , ... . . 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! j, 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 iadsingeLbandsoniely his eye-brows, hair, and whisker;, and as to railway traveling, 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 v:il.le romnnnLm Mr ltrr.wn r1iw1- li ! - " t .. ....... 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. ."r,- -...!-.m." l,.- T .v.-. ,.. 'n i - , , .., , 0 -, . . and mv chilu; my Emma!

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.

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 crease of human cofnforts.
