Good Joke.

All the old settlers of Albany-the first
families of that Dutch and aristocratic cap
ltal-will remember Jimmy Caldwell"
who made great fortune in the tobacco
business. He was very much of wag in
his way, and was not er-particular in his
choice of subjects upon whom to play his
tricks. He had an ancient maiden cousin
residing in New Y York, whom he had often
invited to come up to Albany, and visit his
wife. But in those days, when as vet no
steamboats, were known, and Journey be-
tween the two cities in slOop was a yoy-
age quite equal to crossing the Atlantic
now; the cousin had never been up the riv-
er, the wife had never been down. and so
the had never met. AT length he received
letter informing him that she would sail
from New York at such time, and in the
course of week or ten days she might be
pected at Albany. A few days before her
arrival, he said to his wife:
Il don't know as l ever told you this old
maid of cousin of mine is as deaf as a
poSt-you have to hollow so as to be heard
a mile to make her understand"
"Ill do my best," said the good wife,
"and you know can speak loud enough
when | try"
When Caldwell met his cousin at the
wharf, and on his way with her to his house,
he remarked:
"You have never heard, I suppose, that
my poor wife is very hard of hearing: l
have to scream at the top of my voice to
make her hear me, and how you will man
age to get on with her, | am sure / don't
know"
"Oh, I'll make her hear; my voice is good,
and | amt afraid of using it."
Of course neither of the ladies were af-
ficted with any defect in their hearing, but
Caldwell was disposed to amuSe himself at
the expense of both of them. They met.
"Why, how do you do?" shouted Mrs.
Caldwell, as if she was speaking ship at
sea.
Every well, thank you; hope you are toe" 4"
screamed the cousin, in voice that fairly
riyalled Madam Caldwell's
Mr.. Caldwell, amused at the success of
his scheme, listened to the two old women
who were planted close to each other; and
first one would put her mouth up to the
ear of the other, and Uice uerSa they would
shout away as if they would make the dead
hear, and not the deaf only At last, said
Mrs Caldwell, in her sympathy with the
deaf old cousin:
What on earth makes you talk SO loud?
| amt deaf2"
"Nor I either" shrieked the old maid;
and both of them perceived in an instant
| that they had been made dupes of by jim
my Caldwell, who had to take thorough
scolding for putting such joke upon them.
Hood, in his Tale of Trumpet" makes
q very good play, of which we are remind
ed by this story. A peddler is trying to
1 sell ear-trumpets, and, boasting of their
wonderful properties, he says:
There was Mrs. F.,
So very deaf
| That she might have worn percnssiOncap,
And been knocked on the head without hearing
| it snap;
Well l sold her a horn, and the very next day,
She heard from her husband at Botany Bay"

boast of most other luxuries in an incipient
stage of formation and maturity, and not
have added to her numerous list those of
pine-apples and coffee. The former is a ma
tive of South America, and soon after the
conquest of Peru, its use as a luxury to the
whites was discovered, though it had long
been used by the Peruvians. It's favor is
now well known to man, and in that point,
perhaps ranks foremost in the varied pro-
ductions of fruits. Slight protection, with
a little protection for these plants during
the winter, as the secession Of vegetable
growth, will yield to the cultivator this de-
licious fruit most of the year."

We are compelled to forego James was
not raying maniac, but he was desperate.
Strong drink refused longer to do its Office
He drank all the time, yet he was sustained
by an excitement far greater than that
sought for in the cup. In the darkest hour,
howeyer-amid all his misfortunes-he nev-
er neglected his poor old mother, and was
regularly at her bedside with a solicitude in
which allhis pecuniary troubles seemed to
be lost. She, to his great delight, gradual
ly mended, and soon announced with her
own lips the disappearance of all her for
mer symptoms.
"Well, my child" said she one evening,
Il am glad [ shall soon be able to travel.
[ see my situation has given you much
pain"
James spoke not, but heavy tears gath
cred in his eyes. He took his mothers
hand, gave her an afGectiOnate kiss, and then
disappeared in the streets.
The next moment he was at the gambling
table, and the next hour it was not in his
power to give a check for more than ten
dollars. He continued to bet, and finally

dollar he arose from the table, and sought
the bedside of his mother. He was with
her but moment. The next found him
back at the gaming table. He threw down
his last dollar, with the words: This is all
of my $20,O00-take it." He won-again
he won-and again. He seemed to win
as lie had lost, all the time. His betting
was the interest Of the night. Still he bet
bet recklessly. Thousands came into his
hand, and thousands still he bet. Once
more did he win-and again and again !

to the same purpose by energetic English
men. Everybody has heard of the immense

Heal & Sons, and Nichols, the famous
London advertisers. But everybody has
not heard of the enormous sums they annu-
ally pay to the newspapers to keep up and

An article IN late number of The London
Quarterly states that Prof HaIloway annu-

Rowland q Co., and DR.. De Jough each
expend $4,000 per year in making their

HIS foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream his sail.
He's whistling round St. Mary's Falls,
Upon the loaded train,
He's leaving on the Pictured rocks
His fresh tobacco stain.
L hear the mattock in the mines,
The aXe-stroke in the dell,
The clamOr from the Indian Lodge,
The Jesuit's chapel bell.
I see the swarthy trapper come
From Mississippi's springs,
And war-chiefs with their painted bSows,
And crests of eagles wings.
Behind the squaw's light birch canoe,
The steamer smokes and raves,
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.

The mighty mingling with the mean
The lofty with the low.

Of nations yet to be,
The first low wash of waves where soon
Shall roll human sea.
The rudiments of empire here
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos of a mighty world
Is rounding into form!
Each rude and jostling fragment soon
Its fitting place shall find
The raw material of a State,
It's muscles and its mind.
The western still the star which leads,
The new world in its train,
Has tipped with fire the icy spears,
Of many a mountain chain.
The snowy cones of Oregon

And California's golden sands
Clean brighter to its ray.

Voyage through the Skies.

Beautiful Mammoth Baloon-AScensio,s-
Delightful Encounter Nth Storm
Terrific Scene-AH the Party Injured.
Yesterday afternoon, as our readers are
aware, Mons GODDARD made his second bal
loon ascension from this city, this time ia
king his mammoth balloon America, and
several passengers. At So o'clock the
huge globe was announced to be fully infa-
ted, and those entitled to seats in the mini
ature house attached to the balloon invited
to occupy them. The following gentlemen
stepped forward and took their seats: Col.
Latham, ticket agent Great Miami Rail
road; Mr.. VIM. r. Hoel, river pilot; Mr..
Herman Hipp, clerk Of the County Treas
urers Office; Mr.. Bellman, of the Gazette,
and ourself.
We occupied wicker car, inside of the
miniature house; windows, however, giving
our visuals free access to "all out.of-doors." !"
For several minutes the crowd gathered so
thickly around the car, some to shake hands
with the passengers and some out of curl
osity, and it was impossible to manage the
balloon. 1t was with great difficulty the
crowd was pushed and kept back at reas-
onble distance. Mons. GODDARD soon ascer-
tanned that he had too much weight, and
invited Mr.. Hipp to step out of the car,
while arranged the ballast. Having every
thing arranged, he gave the command to
"let co. and away we sailed to the great
modification of Mr.. Hipp, who had been
left behind.

THE ASCENSION.

The pleasure we felt when the balloon,
cut loose from terra frma and commenced
gliding through the air, is inexpressible.-
The immense concourse of people below
seemed to be moving gently away from US,
and whatever fears or apprehensions we
might have entertained previously were all
forgotten in the pleasure of the moment
Our eyes were with rapture fixed upon the
city lot, with its thousands of up-turned fa-
ceS, until attention was called to another
point by our fellow passengers. 1t was the
grand, indescribable view of the city, the
river, and the scenery. The city seemed
like well arranged set Of toys lined by
strip of silver lace. The passengers were
all in ecstacy, and were continually point
ing out new beauties to each other.
When we first set our eyes directly be-
low US we were sailing over the 18th ward.
Everything had miniature appearance
The houses looked like playthings, and the
people and vehicles in the streets like
SWarmS OF ants rnnning over the ground
Though subject to dizziness, we here look
ed down upon mother earth without expe-
rlenclng the least unpleasant feeling. In
oeeu' we were enraptured beyond express
We passed directly over Mount Auburn
the house here being lowered below the car,
and giving US better view. The lono
steep road extending up to Mount Vernon
from Sycamore street, looked precisely like
broad chalk-line upon level ground. and
the whole country was as fiat in appear
ance as could be. AS we hurried bv. we
endeavored to distinguish the hilLsides. but
to our vision no hills were there.
THE SAIL.
While passing over the city, we sailed
quite gently, but over the hills, we moved
off at speed which Colonel Latham good
humoredly remarked would beat railroad
time all to pieces. Clouds soon shut the
city from our view, and our attention was
directed to the exquisite landscape upon
every hand. Our height could not have
been very far, for we distinctly heard loud
conversations below us, and with the aid of
the speaking-trumpet, conyersed with those
beneath US.
Our course, north-northeast from Mount
