One fine summer inoniiug, a' few years since, there was a wonderful excitement in the lris-li village of BaHydooley. All tbe idle men, wJmeiv and children in the neighborhood, comprehending about nine-tenths of the population—were assembled dn the large level common wliich served as a race course and bowling-green; and all thronged toward some object in the centre, which formed the nucleus of the crowd. " Yea, then, what is tho name of it all, at all V> demanded one ragged gossoon. " Is it tied to the tail of it he's going to gonp V asked another. "Aiitirm'tMe fonlishj'' asclaiwacl an oldjnan. the "sense carrier" cf the district; den't ye see the long ropes he's going to hold on by?" ""Well, well!" groaned an old woman, taking her d-udeeii, or short black pipe out of her month, and sticking it, lighted as it was, within the folds of her cross-barred cotton handerchief: "Them English are mighty quare people. I'm sure when we heard that this Mr. Brown, with his sacks) of goold wus coming to tho Iiitclarm, after buying out tbe rale ould stock of the Deasys, we though* he'd have carriages and horses galore, and maybe a fine yateh in the harbor; but it never entered the heads of any of us that nothing less would servo him than going coorsing through the air like a wild goose, at the fail of a ballone or what- somever they call it." For some time past the-process of inflating the balloon had been going on, and now the groat gaily painted orb towered tremulously above the heads of th-e gaping spectators,and pressing 'gainst the cords by which it was h*eld down, it seemed only to await the arrival of tho bold icroaaut to; dart upward on its way.- "Here heis!" exclaimedr^-eoutward stragglerr; of the crowd1; and' presently a carriage drew up; and out stepped Mr. Brown-, the English millionaire, who had'lately become an Irish landed proprietor.- Mr. Brown was a little 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 entering a room; invariably slip, tumble, knock down some piece of furniture or sit down beside their chair instead of upon it. He seldom escaped upsetting hfs inkstand; sending his meat and drink "the wrong way," snd tlren coughing and choking for' half an hour ; casting- his fingers, tearing his coat, or knocking his- far&Ssaad against a door, so that he rarely appeared in society without scars, plaster?, or bandages. Iu practicing gymnastics he had knocked out three teeth yalching at Cowes, he hud been four times neaHy drowned ; in sliooting on the moors of Scotland, he had left the grouse unharmed, but had bWown oil two of his own fingers. A taste for p-yrotech- ny had singed handsomely his cye-brcA*s, hair atid whiskers; and as to railway travelling,.his Iruir. breadth 'scapes and moving accidents amid collisions, upsets and explosions would have served to fill two or three volumes of tlie English ,; RaUw-ay Library," or the French "Bibliotheq-ue uesCemins de Fer." At length, having fried the three elertenis of earth, water and fire, it occurred toMr. Brown that the remaining one of air, as a medium of locomo. tion, might b'e more agreeable, and could not be more perilous than the others. He accordingly, file year before, when residing on his e&ti&ffe in Devon, )$ad purchased' an excellent ba loon, and, str-atige So say. had nsade several ascents, and had come down again in; perfect safety. Oil this occasion he meditated'S flight ov<r the Green Isle, and intended to come down at Belfast; but the best informed members of the crowd asserted that he was going "dVery slerrof the way to Amei'iky." A Loudon friend who had come to Ireland ou a fishing excursion, had promised to join Mr. Brown in his flight; but, as it would seem, his courage failed,- and lie came not. Nowise discouraged, however, Mr. Brown was jiist about to step into hia atrial car, when a tall, strongly built man suddenly stepped forward, and politely saluting the aeronaut, said : " May I ask you a questioc, sir?" " Certainly." "Is it true that you arc going to America?" '■'No, merely to Belfast, wind and weather permitting." "Belfast," repeated the stranger in amusing manner—"the north of Ireland. Well, that is just the direction toward which I want to go, aud I hate land travelling. Will you, sir, accept me as a companion?" Mr. Brown hesitated for a moment, but aa he reallj"- wished for some oue to accompany him, he saw no serious objection to the plan, and accordingly signified his acquiescence, merely remarking to the stranger that his costume seemed too light for the regions of cold air whieh they would h&Vt to traverse. "Bah !" was the reply. "Ihave passed through more changes of climate than that, and 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 Providence!" So they took their places and the word was given, "let go!" The fifteen men wdiose hands were severely pressed by the straining cords, desired nothing better, and in a moment the freed balloon began to ascend majestically. Ike crowd shouted aud- slapped their hands. "Ah!" cried Mr. Brown, "this is delightful! Don't you think bo ?" Not receiving any answer, he turned and looked at his traveling companion. There he was, lying almost flat on his face and •hands, and with his head over the side of the car ; his eyes were fixed, and his hair bristling, "Are you afraid?" asked Mr. Brown. No .answer.. The ballaon: ascended -rp.pidl y, and ere long arrived at the region of the clouds,— Turning once more to his immovable companion, Mr. Brown shook hiir slightly by the arm'and said : "Are you ill?" Still no reply, but a fixed and stolid stare*. They were now at a great elevation : clouds lay beneath their feet, fl!Bove their heads a burning sun, and infinite space around them: Suddenly the stranger stood upright, his face pallid as that of a corpse. "Faster! faster!" he exclaimed in atone of authority ; and seizing in succession three of the bags of sand which served as ballr,st, he flung them out of the car, at the same time laughing in a strange, wild manner. "Ha!" he cried. " that'B 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, watchiug for stray travelers, I never felt so excited as I do now. Then their lives were iu danger, uow it is my own." Very pleasant, thought tlie owner ofthe balloon, I have picked up soiro rascally Italian brigand. "Better fight with the elements than with the cufltomdiouse officers !" continued his companion. The balloon ascended at a terrific rate. In his turn Mr. Brown stood up, and laying his hand on the stranger's arm, said: " For Heaven's sake don't stir ! Our lives are art Etake. I must allow some of the gas to escape, in order to repair your imprudence. " How do you that?" "I have only to draw this string, which is connected with the valve." " And if yon had not that resource, what would lie the consequence?" " We should continue to ascend until everything would burst from .excessive dilation." The man continued for a few moments in deep thought; then suddenly drawing out a knife, he cut the cord as high up as he could reach. "Faster, faster!" he reiterated. The stranger was a giant compared with Mr. Brown, who, perceiving that'he could gain nothing by force, began to try conciliation. "Sir," paid he in a soothing tone, "you are a Christian I make no doubt. Well, our religion forbids homicide!" "Faster!" shouted the giant ; and seizing the remaining sacks of sand, lie scattered theircontents to tlie clouds. Mr, Brown fell on his knees. "Ah!" he exclaimed, " if you have no regard for your own life, at least have some pity on mine. I am young, rich, happy ; I have a mother and sister ; in their name I- conjure you to stretch your hand up to the valve, and save us from a dreadful death hy allowing some gas tccscape." Shaking his wild locks, the stranger drew off his coat,and exclaiming, " Wc'arenot ascending!" flung it out. " Your turn now !" he continued : and without the smallest ceremony lie despoiled the unfortunate Brown of his paletot, and threw it over. The balloon pursued its wild career without stop or stay. "Hal ha!" said tiie stranger; "while we'ift thus climbing so pleasantly toward Hie sky. Fdl' te 11 you a story—shall I?" His unhappy companion did not stir. Already, from lh3 extreme rarity of tlie air, the blood was gushing from his eyes and ears. "Listen! Three years ago I lived in Madrid. I was a widower, with one little daughter, a gentle, bright-eyed angel ; her long curling 'hair is waving this moment before my ryei One day I went out early, and did not return until late ; roy child, my beautiful Emma, was gone ; banditti had come and stolen her from me. Ihit, my friend, have you a cannon here?'-' Mr. I'rown made mechanically a sign in the negative. " What a pity.' —IwoufdhaVe bombarded Spain!- Ever since. I have searched for my child in every country of Europe,-but in vain. Now I think she may be in the north of Ireland. Have you a lucifer mutch 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, wh-en reduced to a.-hes, it would be much lighter. When you lirst saw me ihis morning I was examining Ihe stupid facesofyon crowdvfo'see if the dark foreign- one of my Emimv's robber'might be among them." It was evident to poor Mr. Brown that his traveling companion was a'confirmed lunatic. A sudden idea struck him. "Gerald Annesley." "The very fame!" "What meau you?" "Iknow where the wretch liveif who stole your child ; we are just above the spot. Draw the valve, Mr. Annesley, and in a short time ;*ou will embrace your Emma !;l "No,no, you; are deceiving me,- My Emma is not on earth ; she is in Heaven. East night she appeared-to me in a dream, and told un; so. That's the reason why I want to ascend higher aud higher Come,my friend, help me ; ictus both blow as hard as we can ou the balloon. As wc are beneath, our breath must help it to rise. Blow! blow!" Mr. Brown, moved by terror, tried to obey. "It does not stir ! Come, mount on my shoulders, KaApush the balloon!" And without consulting him further, the giant caught him up as if he had been a feather, and held him above his head, saying, "Now push the balloon !" The unlucky victim tried to obey, but the blood blinded his eyes. There was a horrible buzzing in his cars, and lights flashed before him. For a moment, he thought of throwing himself over to end his torments. " Ha!" shouted the madman, " it dees not go!" At that moment the trembling hand of Mr. Brown touched accidentally the cord of the carety-valve. He made it play, and the collapsing orb began to descend rapidly. Through^ the clonds it darted downwards, and the earth re-appeared-. "Ah!" cried Annesley, " instead of pushing the balloon, as I told you, you drew it downwards. Push upwards! push, I say!" "You see that I am pushing as hard as I can." " No ; for here is the earth !" "It is only that the eloada are rising towards the upper regions." ''Well, let-us do the same. Let tie throw-out all our ballast*."-' j bottom of the car, and stared wildly ■• We bave do more. CJerald Aooesley laid Mr. Brown gently at the bottom of the car. AVe have no' more ballast, you-say ?" he asked, locking fixedly at kirn. "No more." " How much do you weigh (" Thlsqaes6oQ foil on poor Brown like a stunning blow. "How much do you weigh?" repeated his companion in a louder tone. "Ah, very little—•nothing that could make the slightest difference—a mere trifle." "A mere trifle! Well, even that will make some difference." Tbe imminence of the peril gave our aeronaut 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 her arid treat her us their own. In a very short time, if you will allow us to descend, you will meet her." The madman looked at him with a wild, doubting gaze. " Yes," continued hrowit eagerly, anxious to coaftnl the impression he had made, "you will see ber, your darling little Emma, running to meet you with outstretched arms, and her fair golden cur's floating in the wind." " You lie! you lie! Emma's hair Was as bfltbk as jet! Man! you never saw. How much do you weigh ?" "Ah, a mere trifle—only a few pounds !" Q-erald Annesley seized Mr. Brown with both hands and held him suspended over the car. In another moment he would have dropped him in the abyss of space. " Annesley!" exclaimed the poor man, "you want to mount higher V "Yes! yes!" " Your only wish is to lighten the balloon !" " Yes." "Then how much do you weigh yourself?" " Two hundred pounds, " Well, if you were to' throw your:relf over, the balloon, lightened by such a great weight, would dart upwards with inconceivable rapidity." The madman reflected for a moment. "True," Jk said, "you are right." He laid Mr Brown at tnWji around. "My Maker," he cried, "I go to meet Thee ! I go to embrace my child, my Emma !" And flinging himself over, he disappeared. The balloon and its owner reached the earth in safety; the latter, however, lay for many weeks raving in brain fever. When he recovered hegave orders to have his perilous plaything sold at any sacrifice, and soon afterwards provided himself with an excellent care-taker in the shape of a pretty young wife, under whose tutelage " the ma^theiy' as his Irish valet remarks, " is growing a deal mere handy in himselt " So this wus Mr. Brown's last ascent (o the clouds. — ■»■» ■■»».. ■«»■ Corn akd Con Meat,.—The grinding of corn and cobs together, whieh was ridiculed very much by some, formerly, has now become an every day occurrence, farmers being convinced that the cob contains too niuch nutriment to be thrown away. Our experience heretofore in regard to its use is l.ki:': forthOSfc animtil.-; that eiiew the C&fl it is a most excellent provendu', but for those who d<? not it hi not so valuable, Thus, tor oxen, cows and sheep, it is a capital feed. These animals, after what they swallow in the warm vat. called Ihe first stomach or paunch, have tiie faculty of throwing it up again in small portions, called cud, and chewing it over in a leisurely manner until it is ground very fine, nnd then after being thus thoroughly mingled with BftUva, swallowing it again into another stonr.ch, where all its nutritive matter is extracted by the proper organs created for that purpose. The horse aud -hog having- no such organs to rc- chew, do not derive so much benefit from (he ground cob, as theanir.t.is above named. Hens derive more benefit f'.om corn and cob meal than (hey do from corn meal alone. In fowls of th-fBOlaSB there is an apparatus analogous to animals that chew the cud. First they take dry food'intotheir crops hen* It" becomes soaked as if it were in a warm vat. fifom which it passes into the gizzard, which, furnished with gravel stones, acts the part of grinding line, by the aid of tho strong muscles of that organ whatever passes into it.

To Young MbNj—-Some odd genius gives the following elegant advice to those young men who " depend on father-' for their support and take no interest whatever in business, but are regular drones in the hive, subsisting on that which is earned bj others :— "Come, off with your coal, clinch tlie aftW, the plow-handles, the axe, the pick-axe, tbe spade— anything that will enable you to stir you;- blood. Fly rouud aiuV tear your jacket, rjither than be the passive recipient of the old gentlenlar'/'s bounty.- Sootier lhan play the d;;ndy at dad':' expense, hire yourself out to some potatoe patch, let yourself-to stop hog holes, or watch the ban; and when you think-yourself entitled to aresting spell, do it on your own hook. Get up in the morning !—turn round at least twice before breakfast- - help the old gentleman—give him now and then a generous lift in business—learn how to take the lead, and not depend forever on being led ; and you have no idea how the discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our word for it, you will seem to breathe a new atmosphere, possess a new frame, tread a new earth, wake to a new dfes- tiuy—and you may then begin, to aspire in manhood. Take off, lhen,*that ring from your lily finger, break your cane*, shave your.upper lip, wipe your nose, hold up your head, and; by all, means, never again eat the bread of idleness, nor depoud on father.". . » To cool Ihe ;:tti! -■; bere bra ■. of moth n i good looks in Ore presenae ol yoar n Ife.
