In answer 10 the question propounded by 10 what

STARTLING FEAT.-A Paris cores
pondent of the New York Times gives
the following account Of the latest
amusement devised for the wonder-lov-
ing Parisians -
The feat of jumping from a balloon,
the jumper sustained by an India rubber
rope, was duly performed on Thursday.
1t was the most stupendous exhibition Of
daring and address that the Parisians
have yet been permitted to witness.
From one side of the car of the balloon
hung the India rubber cord, descending
$50 feet, and then returning and being
fastened to the other side of the car 1t
thus formed strong loop. The athelele
was dressed as Mercury his body, from
the neck to the small of the back, was
enclosed in frame work, which enabled
him to endure the suspension without
wrenching or dislocation. The rope
passed through an eyeet in the middle
of the back, placed so that he was held
in perfect equilibrium. When the bal
loon had reached an altitude double that
of the supposed elasticity of the cord,
the voltigcur appeared on the edge of
the car, looked over, shut his eyes, and
dove off into space. The eyelet slipped
along the rope, so that the first $50 feet
were positive fall through the air, with
out any resistance or break. The rest
of the way was an elongation Of the
rope. 1t stretched four times its length,
making in all descent of 600 feet, ac-
complished in two seconds. After hav-
ing attained its lowest point, the rope
contracted once, perhaps 200 feet, and
then descended again. There was no
further rebound, and no oscillation the
voltigeur lay calmly Graded in mid-air,
and probably spent the leisure he was
now permitted to enjoy, in recovering
his breath and contemplating the pros
pect. The @ronaut above now COM

the cords of the hand and wrist were

she dared not do otherwise than sill emily

The effect was such that relapse was
threatened, and was only prevented by
the skill of her medical attendant, Sec
ondcd by the unwcaried care of the
nurse.

[For the Literary Echo
Why L Write

DY GENEVA.
] do not write for fame;
No, not for this / pine;
ask not that name
Ofproud renown be mine.
Think you that I should rest
More sweetly in my grave
If DER my turfclad breast
Fame's laurel-boughs should wave !?
No, no; as calmly sweet
Would be my last, long sleep,
If but few true hearts
Ny memory should keep.
Nor do wish that while
There on earth may stay,
Renown's cold-hearted smile
Should gild my humble way;
For, if l only bear
A conscience free from guile,
And friends are mine to share
Of fortunes frown or smile,
I can be happy here,
Although my humble name
Were never sounded forth
By the proud trump of fame.
But If my pen can speak
In favor Of the right,
Although its voice be weak,
Nor blest with power nor might;
If could only rouse
Some soul to deeds of worth,
Or breathe one kindly note
To cheer the sad of earth;
If by a word Of mine
An impulse might be given
To urge some faint heart on
To gain home in Heaven,
I should be truly blest
Nor need fame's trumpet voice
To lull my heart to rest
Or make my soul rejoice.

That wrong may rule no more;
That truth in all It's might
May reign the wide world DER.
