An affair of this nature took place on the oc- caston of the last asecnt but one of the cele- brated and lucky wronant Mons. Godard, in Paris. Mr. Godard took with him that day as his compagnon du voyage, a wealthy private gentleman, who had paid 1,000 franes for the ai, of sharing in the perils of his expedi- tion. The weather could not have been more propitious, and the balloon shot up rapidly to a considerable altitude. -+ What effect does that produce upon you ?”” asked Mr. Godard to his companion. “‘ Nothing,” said the latter, laconically. *-My compliments to you,”’ said Mr. Godard. You are the first whom I have ever seen ar- rive at such an altitade without betraying some emotion.” ~-Keep on mounting,”’ said the traveler, with ravity supreme. . M. Viodard threw out some and the balloon aseended some 500 feet higher. “ And now,’ added M. Gedard, “does your heart beat ‘Nothing yet,” replied his compan- jon, with an air which approached closely wo impatience. “The deuce, exclaimed M. Godard; “you have really, my dear sir, the most perfect qualifications to be an wronaut.”’ The beilvon still ascended ; when 1,000 feet higher, M. Godard interrogated his compan- ion—* And now?” + Nothing. nothing ; not the shadow of a fear whatever '’’ answered the travel with atone positively discontented, aod like a man who had experienced a pro- found deception Goodness me! so much the worst then,” said the zronaut, smiling; ‘ must renounce all hopes of making you afraid. The balloon is high enough; we are going to descend.” “To descend !” tainly; there would be danger in mount- gher. That dent make the slightest difference to me: I do not choose to descend.”” ~You! what?” asked M. Godard. ~Lsay thet | wish to ascend higher, keep on mounting. I have given 1,000 francs in order to expertence some emotion; I must do so, and will not descend before I have felt some emo- tion lard commenced to laugh; he believed that it was all a joke. Will you aseend?”’ once more demanded the traveler. seizing him by the throat and shaking him vilence; ‘when shall I feel some emotion?” M-_ Godard relates that at this moment he felt himself lost. A sadden and dreadful rev- elstion broke upon him in regarding the strangely dilated eyes of the compaguon du voyage, he bad to deal with a mad man: To try to yuake a maniac listen to reason! ‘Teo ask for beip amid the clouds! If even the unfortunate wronaut had had uy defensive weapon, he would have been in- able of defending himself; but it is not usu- for people to furnish themselves with pistols for « voyage in a bailoon, and certainly one would not dream of meeting with a warlike encounter in the stars. The earth was 5,000 icet beneath—most horrible depth, and the { movement of the now furious mad man, ight couse the car tocapsize. M. Godard, with the presence of mind acquired by him in se many of his daring wrial expeditions, made «ll these reflections in the short space of a seo- ond “Ab! ah’ you are mocking me. my fine fel- continued the mad man. without loosen- he grip. “Ah! you think to rob me of } francs as well as imy emotion. Very well, he quiet its my turn to laugh. It's you now who is now going to cut a caper.” The mad man was possessed of a prodigious muscular force. M. Godard did not attempt te defend himself. ‘“Whatdo you wish from me?” asked he, with a calm tone and submis- sive air.

A Fight between Saints and Pike's Peakers. {From the Jasper (lowa) Free Press, June 2.) A company of retarni Pike's Peaker’s pessed through here last Sunday, having un- der their protection a young Iady, whom they bad taken from a Mormon train, a few miles west of Newton, a short time previous. It a ars that, on last Sunday ores as the Pino's Peak boys were crossing Skunk Bottom, oe passed a trainof Mormons, who were busi- ly en; gaged—men, women and children—in en- deavoring to extricate a number of their wagons that were stuck fast in the mud. While stop- ping fora moment to witness the exertions of the Saints, they accidentally vverheard a young irl, about 19, exclaim, ‘I wish I was drowned n that slough!’’ Their interest was at once awakened, and they interrogated her as to why sue made such afovlish wish. Sie replied that she was tired of life: that she had started from Iowa City for Salt Lake, with her father, who is a Mormon Elder; that she had been compelled to walk all the way thus far, and that when she expressed a wish to leave the train and retura to the city they invariably stopped her mouth. She was informed by the Peakers that if she desired to return to Iowa City she should go baek with them, to which she replied that she desired very much to retarn. The Mormons, numbering some fifty men, gathered around, armed with guns, knivos, pistols, &c., &c., and declared that she should not go back. The Peak boys, nothing daunted, armed themselves, with guns and revolvers, and an- nounced their determination to take the girl at all huzards, and proceeded to carry out their intentions. For atime a fight seemed inevi- table, but finally Murmon courage gave way, and the boys sueceeded in placing the girl safe- ly under their own protection She then in- formed them that the Saints had a trunk and other baggagé belonging to her, which they at once proceeded to obtain. The followers of Brigham boldly announced their intention to fight before they would permit the things to be taken trom their wagons. A show of guns and revolvers. however, cooled their ardor, and Mormon courage oozed out at their fiugers ends, while the Loys procecded to transfer the bagyage to their own wagons—the Saints looking on and uttering terrible impre- cations against the perpetrators of the horrid outrage, as they termed it. After obtaining all they sought, the rescuers drove away with the young lady in their possession, leaving the Mor- mons to console themselves as best they could in their loss. The Pike’s Peakers who were engaged in the rescue, who numbered only about 25 wen, were from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa City. +08 A Prescrirtion ror Eanry Ristne.—Rev Mr. Beecher has the following in his last Star Paper: vod healthy children that are put to bed at night when birds chickens retire, are admirable wakeners in the morning. When they have slept their sleep full, thege is no help for you. Wake they wil!, coo and frolic they will. " All your hushing :nd humm'ns are vain. Your efforts to put them to sleep only serve ty wake youup! A bouncing boy, a yearold, creeping out ot his crib slyly, and pouncing upon his father’s face with ae and chuckle. is better than any alarm clock. A clock will soon ran out its cacophonous rattle, but a child never runs down, or ends, his fun. But we have discovered a new method of waking early. Perched up upon our green bill slope beyond Peekskill, we have found it diffi- cult to sleepafter about four o'clock ofsummer mornings. For acountless multitude of birds, in all the trees and shrubbery, ajm their notes at us with such sweet archery that we are pierced through and through with the silver arrows of music. It is in vain that you wrap the pil- lows about your ears! It is vain for you to re- flect that you need sleep, and will not get up. Every one knows that an effort of will sufficient to resist the annoying cr attractive sound, is it- zelf the end of sleep. While we are resisting, we are wakening. Thus. this very morning all the trees about our little house were belfries, and rang out more chimes than were ever heard at Cologne or Antwerp. And, after the first recognition, we tirned resolutely to the wall determined to sleepon But, ‘that’ »bin” said our ear:, aud “that’s bobolink,’’--there goes a wren, ’ and sparrows. larks, phoebes, cat-birds, ard many of their cousins in the orchard and woods, all joined to laugh us out of the idea of sleeping. »w.ifany one wishes to know how to get up early, we will tell him. Go out of the city early ia the day. Seck some tranqnil place in the country where guns are never heard, where fruit trees and shade trees abound, and where the shaking of the leaf or the distant crow of chanticleer is the loudest sound ever heard, except of birds. And then,-efter walking all day among the fields and hills, and forests, and supping upon milk that never dreamed of a city milkman, go to bed by nine o'clock. If you dv not wake before five the next murning, report your case to us, and we will make afresh prescription. — ee A New Gawe.—A First-ciass Joxn ox ax ovp Gent.— Pool” is a game extravagantly i ed in at Buffalo. The game is played on a iard table, with twenty or thirty balls, each ball numbered, the numbers running from one up. A dozen or more can join in the game. A certain number is fixed upon, and the player who shall first pocket enough balls whose num- bers will mmount to it, wins the pile, which ix made up by the players staking a certain amount each before the game commences Previeus to the commencement, each player draws a marble from a box and puts it out of sight in his pocket. These marbles are ali vumbered to correspond with numbers on the tible. The player, after receiving his marble, recollects the number, and bis game is to pocet balls enough, the numbers of which, added to that of the marble in his pocket, will make the number which wins the pile.
