W ho, looking backward Tran ins manhood's prim», Secs not the spectre of his misspent time ; And, through the shade Of funeral cypress, planted thick behind, Hears no reproachful whisper on the wind From his loved dead? Who heart no trace of passion's evil force? « Who shone thy sting, 0 terrible remorse ? Who would not cast Half of his Future from him, but to win Wakeless oblivion from the wrong and Bln Of the sealed Post? Alas! the evil which we fain would »tu», We do, and leave tho wished-for good undone; Our strength to-day Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall, Poor, blind, unprofitable servants all, Are we alway. Yet who, thus looking backward o'er his years, Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears, If he hath been Permitted, weak and sinfiil as he was, To Cheer end aid, in some ennobling cause, His fellow men? . ' i 1 I If he hath hidden the outcast, or let in A ray of snnshine to foe cell of sin ; If he hath tent Strength to foe weak, and, in the hour of need, Over the suffering, mindless of his creed Or hue, hath bent. He hath not lived In vain, and while he gives The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives, With thankful heart, Hu gazes backward, and with hope before. Knowing that from his works he never more Can henceforth part.

This P>^*w"ten mdes ! jphs service, aided by i l I I'ftllVItlPBl'PDl. TBPD from Seville, and was only ish Swiss battalion in Joseph's service, aidi ceopetoroe, and by sick and convalescent men.' The Spaniards soon occupied foe heights in front of foe Triana bridge, and attacked foe French entrenchments, hoping to raise a popular commo tion. Ballastcrous, on foe other side, bad ad- ; vanced with 11,000 men, intending to (all on Se- i l ilte from foe teft of foe GuadalquivM. , , But foe hopes entertained by foe Spaniards of i nch *®- : being speedily in possession of Seville, were cut 1 off by a niece of deceit. False information adroit iven by a Spaniard in foe French interest, led us to believe Soult was close st hand, whereupon he immediately returned to foe Ronda; while Penne Pillemur, also warnod that the French would soon rotum retired to Gibrteeon. This disappointment and failure in the execu-, tion of a favorite project, cherished for many : months, irritated beyond control the naturally se- ! vere temper of Morillo. It was evening, ana foe : division of foe army under him were encamped | some hours march on foeir retreat. Preparations _ The captives were guarded by a file of soldiers, and the executioners, waiting foe word ol com- ! mand to draw-up, were leaning on thpir weapons ■ and talking of foe events of foe late two days. ! Just then, one of foe inferior officers returning ! _ . „ . . .-. -A accent slightly foreign, besought him, with pite ous entreaties, to procure him admittance to the General. The officer found on inquiry, that he j was the son of one of the prisoners' a soldier dis- ! tinguished for his eminent personal bravery, who j had not been taken, even when overwhelmed by I numbers, without giving and receiving many se vere wounds. This soldier, wearied and wounded, but invin -1 spirit, for he scorned to ask | cible in courage and ___, ______ , Clemency 0 f his conqueror, was now to suffer death with his companion in misfortune. The terrible order had bemTgiven, for Morillo would not bo impeded in his march by prisoners ; and he so hated hia country's enemies, that foe bravest and most generous among them could have found no mercy at his hands. The prisoner's little boy, refusing to be separated from his father, had been suffered by foe Spaniards to remain with him. "You shall see the General, boy, since you wish it," said the other, in reply to the boy's pas sionate entreaties, " but he will not grant your father's life. San Lucas ! but these French dogs have given us too much trouble already." They entered the General's tent Morillo, by the light of a lamp burning on foe table, was reading a dispatch he had just received. Two of his officers stood near him ; there was no one else in foe tent The brow of foe chief was contract ed, and his eyes flashed as if what he read dis pleased him : and he looked up with an impatient exclamation as the officer entered with the boy. The child, as soon as Morillo was pointed out to ' him, rushed forward and knelt at his feet " What does this mean ? " demanded the Gene ral. « "Spare him I spare my father!" sobbed the youthfol ipplicant The officer explained his relationship to one of «*éamly.

" I will," was foe firm " So far, good. *v in mou lose uie einer ear r " I will, tosave my father," answered foe boy, convulsively. 3 Morillo's eyes flashed. The heroism of the . child compelled his admiration; but unmoved from his cruel purpose, he smote off foe other ear with bis still rcckinu sword.

In our last issue we made mention of this re markable trip in a balloon, and in order to kqr more fully before OUT readers the particulars of this truly wonderful excursion of those intrepid nsvigaton who, on Mo S" «y piotyjr a MpwI tod by the jetant of Mr. Godard sad to companion, Mr. Umrahm nl«^ foulltotoftiitoor dm French «de of the Bee, in full health and capital spirits. Their «rial vov mu-------described to us, must have been not only the most extensive, but most exciting on record. ^It^wiU be rem embe re d foat^in couse - irocess ofm* the cords were not There was sndso its up flight which was accomplished in the most and majestic manner, than it was ini polled by a current of ter in a north-westerly di rlv di rection, gradually attaining a considerable eleva tion, and at the same time proceeding straight to wards Lake Pontchartrain. The breeze did not freshen much, hut was » strong enough to carry foe balloon steadily and swiftly forward at foe comfortable rate of about 76 milea an hour. The progress of the voyagers was perfectly easy and far more luxu rious than foe movement of a patent spring car riage rolling on a smooth-shaven lawn. On they sped through the blue ether, their car glided liy the rays of foe setting sun, and themselves en tile georgeous spectacle of n view of our y tlrom a Within a fow minutes from their departure, foe aeronauts found themselves traversing Lake Pont chartrain. At that imposing elevation they be held distinctly foe bottom of foe Lake, foe water assuming an temost glass-like transparency. But they did not lingcr long atevo foe green wteeraof and in a short time they were once more sailing overland and forrest cultivated fields and gloomy pine barrens^ passing by moonlight sucrose foe rifo of St. Ttenmany, over St Helens, and Into ist Feliciana. During t' ' age they were greeted by i pine forrest in flames. Our informant tolls us dens, and st Feliclsna. During this portion of foeir ted b; voy foe sublime spectacle of that from a height of three thousand feet nothing grander and more beautiAii could lie imagined. Finally, after a jaunt of exactly two hours and three quarters, Mr. Godard and hu friend determ ined to dMcend, and selected for this purpose an open field in foe pariah of East Feliciana, not far from the Amite nver. and about 10 miles from tho town of Clinton. Throwing out their grappling irons, they got safely down to terra firms. The difficulty, however, was to secure foe balloon and discharge the gas—matters which could not he performed without assistance. After no small amount of trouble, some laborers were hunted up, tlieir crude apprehensions st foe Bight of foe mon strous mus of blown up silk calmed, and them selves tnducod by dint of infinite persuasion and some weightier argument to ted in letting out tho gas. This was finally done, and the next question was what was to become of the voyagers and bal loon, and whither they were to proceed. This f iroblem was likewise solved by similar substantial ogle. Some of the men went into the neighbor ing woods, caught some oxen, attached them to a rough cart, and drove foe fatigued and sleepy travelers to Clinton, where they arrived at 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning. From Clinton they pro ceeded by railway to Port Hudson, and in foe very nick of time met a boat returning from Red River, got ou board, and arrived safe and sound in our city st an early hour yesterday. Their voyage was not only absolutely free from the slightest danger, but was peffcotly dellghtfiil. The only fetigue and vexation encountered was after lending, and this arose from foe ignorance and trepidation of the honest countrymen «ho were filled with dread st the sight of foe balloon, and seemed to think it would certainly explode of its own accord. Let us not forget here to state that Mr. Godard and hia companion were cordially greeted by foe mpan President, Directors and employees of foe Clinton {and Port Hudson Railroad, who liastaned, with kindness entitles foe above gentlemen to the thanks of this community, showing as it does on their part a proper appreciation of foe daring and in tropidity of the scientific travelers. e understand that Mr. Godard contemplates making another ascension shortly, and will tako care that it la not retarded by any auch Impedi ments as he had to contend with on the first occa sion. Self-Possession. —Years ago an unknown cor respondent to a city paper gave the following an ecdote of the olden time : " When the town of Woodstock Connecticut, first began to bo settled, there was a time when the few and scattered families were filled with foe dreadful apprehension of being taken or perhaps killed or carried off by foe Indians. No msn re tired at night without first having his gun wel' loaded and placed over his head where no could ! seize it instantly. With these and other precau ! tions, one of these brmve men m ndibis i ageous companion on a certain night retired to t**!. l„ the dead of night they were simultane - . houae . nuy userna; pnscnii» v.»j- u™ ^i n : it sounded like a slight knockmg sgt | foe window shutter at foe 0 PP®*r! oug j y awakened by : house.

He lowered his gun and turned to go and re place it over his bod, almost in vain struggling as he went to let his courage down ami to calm hia perturbed feeling*, K8 he entered his bedroom, he discovered his wife deliberately changing her inner garment „ , , , .... 44 Pray, what are you about, he exclaimed, at such a time as thisV " , _ . . 44 Why," she replied, 44 you see what I am about, don't you V 1 wasn't a-going off among the Indi ans without clean clothes on, I would have you to know."
