THE LOST BALLONIsT.
THURsToN's BODY FOUND.

On the 10th Of September last, Ira J Thur
ston made an unexpected balloon ascension
from the vicinity of Adrain, Mich The bal.
loon was some days after found in the vicinity
of st. Clair River, but the fate of the poor
eronut remained involved in mystery, though
extensive search was made for his body aud
the lights of spiritualsm were invoked. On
Saturday afternoon a son of Mr. Heag, was
searching in a piece of woods for some lost
sheep, on the farm of Salmon Miner situated
on the Indiana road, about six miles from 70.
ledo. In his search he penetrated thicket
Of brrshwood on a knoll surrounded by wet
land, and there at the foot Of large oak tree,
he discovered articles Of clothing, bones. &c,
which satisfied him that a dismembored human
body had decayed, and portion of it eaten
there by animals; but it was too late to pros
ecute examination further that night, and it
was postponed till morning.
On the 18th inst, the neighbors were called
and party proce led to tie spot, where the
boy had found the remains, about so to 60
rods south Of the Indiana road, on Mr.. Miners
farm, about half way between the houses of
Hoag and Miner, There were portions of a
human body, without doubt, scattered around
the tree above mentioned Close by the tree
and imbedded in the earth, was found the Jaw
bone, broken, and matted hair, partly in the
earth. ga 1852
About two rods from the tree was found one
of the boots Of the person containing aMfeot
nearly Perfect but much decomposed, md a
portion Of the shin bone with flesh adhering to
it. The boot had been gnawed, and evidently
the flesh had been eaten BIZ hogs or wild ami
mails. The other boot was near by. Portions
Of the spine were found scattered about. and
several of the nails, teeth, &c, and parts Of
the skull were lying near The clothes, we're
however, the means of identifying the body;
they being not so much destroyed but that
their texture could be discovered The pants
were Of a small check or plaid PATTERN
The coat seemed to be stuff coored, and a
black silk handkerchief was found tied as it
was on the neck. $500
In the pockets Of the clothing We're found a
Lepine silver watch, jack knife and buckskin
purse containing 81 SO in money. a pair of
gloves were found in one of the coat pockets,
and in another letter and several cards.
The letter, after drying, was readable, and was
found to be directed to Mr. Thurston 1t was
from a Philadelphia house, in reply to some
inquiries he had made about silk for balloon.
From the cards. letters and memoranda, it
is rendered. if not certain, exit enely probable
that the body there scattered about was that

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom;
Rich harvests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where tottering domes and tapering spires,
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout Labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill.
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars,
Toll launches On the restless tide
And there unrolls the flag of stars;
The engine with its lungs of flame,
And ribs of brass and joints of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbing valve and whirl of wheel.
'Tis Labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives OF toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sunbrowned Toll with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with palaces Of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.

THE RED RIVER vOYAGEUR.
DY JOHN G. wnlTTIEI

pY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Out and in the river is winding
The links of its long. red chain
Through belts of dusky pine-land
And gusty leagues Of plain.
Only at times, smoke-wreath
With the drifting cloud rack joins,
The smoke Of the hunting lodges .
OF the wild Assinniboins!
Drearily blows the North wind
From the land of ice and snow;
The eyes that look are weary,
And heavy the hands that row.
And with one foot on the water,
'sAnd one Upon the shore,
The Angel of Shadow gives warning
That day shall be no more.
u it the clang of wild-geeses
Is it the Indians yell,
That lends to the voice Of the North wind
The tone Of far of bell?
The voyagcur smiles as he listens
To the sound that grows apace;
Well h. knows the vespyr ringing
Of the bells of St. Boniface.
The bells OF the Roman Mission,
That call from the turrets twain,
To the boatmen on the river,
To the hunter on the plainl
Even so in our mortal journey
The bitter North winds blow,
And thus upon life's Red River
Our hearts as oarsmen row.
And when the Angel of Shadow
Rests his feet on wave and shore,
and our eyes grow dim with watching
And our hearts faint at the oar,
Happy is he who heareth
The signal of his release
In the bells of the Holy City,
The chimes of eternal peace.
