nzaA reckless dare devil named Sellers
made a balloon ascension from Dayton,
Ohio, the other day. Instead Of silk bal
loon, properly rugged and arranged for the
trip, he had provided huge muslin con-
cern, coated with glue and whitewashed"
with yellow ochre, in size and shape very
much resembling the canvas under which
the small showmen on the outskirts Of the
circus exhibit fat women and big snakes.
1t was to be set ahoat by building fire un-
der it and initiating it with rarifed air.
While being inflated it caught fire, but he
finally went off, rising at least a mile high.
After being at this height for brief peri
cd, the rent in the balloon allowing the rar-
flied air to escape rapidly, he began his
perilous descent, which was nearly as rapid
as he had travelled upward. At one time
he was in danger of cold bath in the we'll
swollen Miami, but current of wind struck
him, and he came down safely in a marsh
about mile from the starting point AL
together, it being his first attempt to get
heaven-ward, and in such frail vessel, it
was the most foolish and reckless adven-
ture that we have heard of for many day.

COULDN'T Do IT.

In one Of our interior mountain towns
lives man whose name is Mr. Sewers
some very distant connection, I am told, Of
old Mr.. Jehosaphat Sewers and who, by
his friends, is familiarly called Major Sow
ers. The Major is about forty years of
age, measures just FIVE feet seven inches in
height and weighs exactly 216 pounds by
the steel yards. He had-and who has
not ?-some little eccentricities, one of
which is thinking aloud. He had also a
bad habit, acquired in these days by very
many-that of taking glass too much; but
for all that, the Major is " one of our first
men," and goes not little upon his dig
nifty.
One day the circus came to town, and
the Major determined to go to the circus !;
and as preliminary, as well as to pass
away a little spare time, he imbibed several
times, and between the acts of the perform
ance, imbibed several times more. After
the exhibition, he joined company with
one or two "old boys" and went " round
for couple of hours or so ; and at precisely
l A. NJ. started for his home in the " out
skirts" During the performance, the
Major had been particularly pleased with
the "ground and lofty tumbling;;" also the
vaulting and sommerset acts. He was
thinking of this as he walked home, and

FADELEss Is LOVING HEART.

Sunny lines may lose their brightness,
hmble feet forget their lightness,
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raven tresses turn TO gray,
Cheeks be pale, and eyes be dim,
Faint the voice, and weak the limb,
But, though youth and strength depart
Fadeless is loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower.
Peeping forth in wntry hour
When the summers breath is fed,
And the gaudier fow'rets dead
So when outward charms gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Times destroying dart,
The gentle kindly. loving heart.
Wealth and talents will await
When in llfe's rough sea we sail,
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And it'll wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'il hnd The sea,
And our course the farer be.
Ii our pilot, when start
lie kindly, loving heart
Ye in worldly wisdom old,
fe VINO bow the knee to gold,
Does this earth as lovely
As it dld in ufe's young dream,
Ere the world had crulsted DER
Feelings good and pure beforeP
Ere ye sold, at Mammon's mart
The best yearnfnss of the hearth
Grant ME, Heaven my earnest prayer
Whether life Of ease or care
BE the one to me assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
TwIued within my bosom chords,
And that age may but impart
Ripper freshness to my heart.

From Utah.-News from Utah to
March 9th reaches us by way of Califor-
MIA. There is no important intelligence
by this arrival, other than the evidence
furnished by the movements of the Nor
mons, that their determination to resist
the government remains fixed. Brigham
had made speech, inculcating the obliga-
ton Of selfdenial incumbent upon the
Saints, even to the length Of destroying
their goods and chattels, rathanthan sub
nit Meetings had been held in the Ter
ritory to sustain him in his course. Orson
Pratt, prominent leader, had ayowed his
intention to relinquish all further efforts to
enlighten the Gentiles, and had announced
the purpose of the Mormons to descend
upon Missouri, and retake the lands of
which they have been deprived in that
State. Col. Thos. L. Kane had arrived at
Salt Lake from New York via California.
The Saints were busy with their Spring
work, and appeared confident of safety in
any event.

NEARER.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and Ger:
I'm nearer my HOME to-day
Than Eve ever been before.
Nearer NV Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be-
Nearer the great white throne
Nearer the jasper sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where We lay our burdens down
Nearing leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown!

Sewers, you can do it, and there is no

Divesting himself of a coat and a hat,

body slowly ascending until attaining an
attitude of exactly, forty-fve degrees
