INCIDENT AT A PARIS 0PERA.-A French ps-
per has the following account Of an incident
which occurred in one of the opera houses in
Paris:
"a few evenings since at the opera, q box
in the first row was observed to be empty,
though the entire house with this exception
was crowded to excess. Two spectators, who
had not seats to their liking, went to the door
of this box, but could not obtain admission
The orreuse, or woman who has charge of open
ing and shutting the box doors, insisted that
the box was empty.
Perfectly empty" cried all unanimously.
But all at once, as they were gazing, what
was their terror on beholdtng q sohite hand,
apparently detached from any body, moving
along the edge of the box and holding an ivory
opera glass. This hand, isolated and fitting
about in the darkness, produced a terrible
effect. The two gentlemen, pale with sur
prise and terror, remained immovable and
speechless. Presently, other white hands
made their appearance, one of them holding
a white handkerchief, and going through tho
motions as if wiping forehead.
The house was but dimly lighted at the
time, which aided in the terror and delusion
At last, those near the mysterious box, raised
their glasses-and burst into shout of laugh
ter The occupants Of the box were five ne.
groes completely dressed in black, with thei,
coats buttoned up, and elegantly gloved il
white. Hidden by the darkness, they had re
mained invisible, amid the retired shades o.
their Goge,' or open box!'

A BALLOON AsoKSsIoN.-0n Saturday even
ing last il was announced that Mr.. King would
make Q balloon ascension from DoylestOwn.
1t was found, however, after the balloon was
inflated, that Mr.. K. was too heavy A young
man in the audience, Mr. Marion, Immediate
ly volunteered. He took of his coat, when
the car was cut from the balloon, and the lat
ter ascended in q westerly direction. The car
was cut away becauSs an ascent could not be
effected otherwise. The adventurous vOyager
suspended himself from the balloon by an ar
rangement Of the ropes, and his situation was
extremely perilous-the more especially so al
Re had not the proper control over the valve.
His course upward was watched with great
anxiety, as no assembled in the gloom Of the
evening. Nothing was heard of him until
Monday morning, when he was found seven
teen miles north of pcylestown, at place
called Red Hill. He was in tbs air fo- the
space of forty-four hours. His suferings and
endurance were great, and the Npndsr ID that
he escaped with his life. The feat vas one Of
the most daring on record.

DrINs, DrsG.-Day by day men are dying,
one by one, and yet by thousands upon thou
sands. We read the brief record which meets
the public eve; some of the victims we may
have known, some We may have hoard Of,
but some are alike unheard and unknown.
We give thought possibly TO those we knew,
and then rush on, madly as before, In pursuits
of the wealth, the honors and the bubbles Of
this world, all regardless Of the great lesson Of
mortality which this record teaches; and, an
little mindful Of the coming day when We
shall follow, as If il were not uttered to our
senses. 1t is only when death aims q blow at
our very doors, and strikes down the besuti-
full and the good, the loved and the loving,
with whom we have associated almost daily,
and the thought is forced home upon us that
We shall meet th sm no more, that we take TO
heart the great fact of human life, that we
are dying, dying-one by one, but yet in an
eternal, unending procession, out Of whose
serried ranks none may step aside and put
away bis day Of doom-we are passing away.

The Spirit Of Lore

"Charity Tor love) never faileth "-l Cor, XIII.
Beyond al question, it is the unalterabIs
constitution of nature that there is efficacy,
divine, unspeakable efficacy, in love- The ex-
hibition of kindness has the power 10 bring
even the irrational animal into subjection.
Show kindness TO dog, and be will remem-
Der 1t; he will be grateful be will infaIlibly
return love for love. Show kindness to lion,
and you can lead him by the name you can
thrust your head into his mouth you can
melt the untamed ferocity Of his heart into an
affection stronger than death. In ell OF Gods
vast, unbOunded creation, there In not living
and sentient being, from tho least to the
largest, not one, not even the outcast and de-
graded serpent, that is insensible 70 acts Of
kindness. If love, such as our blessed Savior
manifested, could be introduced into the
world, and exert its appropriate dominion, 10
would restore a state of things far more cheer
ing, far brighter than the fabulous age Of gold;
il would annihilate every sting; il would pluck
every poisonous tooth il would hush every
discerdant voice. Even the inanimate crea-
tion is not insensible to this divine influence.
The Spd and flower and fruit put forth most
abundantly and beautifully, where the hand
Of kindness is extsnded for their culture. And
if this blessed influence should extend itself
over the earth, q moral Garden Of Eden would
exist In every land instead on the thorn and
brier would spring up the HI-tree and the
myrtle the desert would blossom, and tho
solitary place be msde glad.-Uyham.
