Balloon Asceasion.-Yesterdaya afternoop Mt
half-past O'Clock, Prof. WISE made an ascen-
sion in his balloon "Sky- Lark" from the cor
ner OF 9TH aud Franklin streets, in the pres
ence OF thousands Of spec tators, who took out
side stands, by way of aiding the daring Dro-
naut to defray his expenses. The balloon was
inflated with gas from a pipe of the city
works, and at the moment appointed, Prof.
WISE took his position in his basket, and after
arranging his flags, mounted a cross-bar be-
tween the basket and balloon, gave the word,
and the monster machine rose ma estcally TO
an altitude of about one thousand feet, then
taking an eastward direction, passed across the
city, and landed in the neigh borhood of Fair
field Race Course. As the balloon arose Prof.
W. waved his hat and flag to the crowd he
meath him, and afterwards distributed lot
of papers, which were taken up by the breeze
and scattered in every direction. We never
witnessed a more delightful evening, nor a
more beautiful ascension, than that of yester-

Coniugal sinceritY.

Some modern writers advises men 10 praise
their wives, because il costs nothing and will
make a man happy ! Now, we do not
believe a wife was the author of such an
idea; unless she was a very shallow 4 foolish
wife. Praise merely as praise, is down.
right insult and cannot fail to disguise, if il
does not offend, any sensible woman. There
in an old adage which says that praise to
the face is open disgrace, and the ad-
age is right An acknowledged of the
real merits Of another, however, is quite a
dfferaut thing and should be made as read
lily as the receipt is given for money receiv,
ed. 1t is but justice to acknowledge the
mental and moral claims of Others as well
as their worldly oues. But mere praise,
which is flattery, shows that either you are
a fool or suppose the one on whom you be-
stow it is one In either case, it is no com.
pliment to your own good sense aud is insult
ing to the object of it. Then why should q
man so belttle himself and degrade his wife
as to praise her with the idea of pleasing
her? 1t appears to us that the relation of
husband and wife implies confidence and
respect that forbid all insincerity and deceit
for any purpose whatever. While it i'm
poses charity and fOrbearance, it also makes
it duty to gently correct the faults as
well as commend the virtues of each other
Those whose intimacy is not close enough tC
admit of frankneSs and honesty on boil
sides are either unfortunately mismatched
or else should strive to get better acqnaint
ed. There are many unhappy unions simp
y because the parties are strangers to each
other in soul when they marry, and circum
stances and education prevent their ever
getting thoroughly acquainted. We say
to all husbands, be candid and upright in
everything, and strive to get as well ac
quainted with your wives as possible. You
cannot make them happy, nor be happy
Yourselves, until you do.

1t is common for moraists TO warn mer
from vicious courses by the consideration
of the shortuess of life. Perhaps an argu
ment equally effective could he drawn from
its length
1t is terrible to think, that an erroneous
opinion, or bad habit framed 10 youth,
may continue to work evil upon the char.
acter and fortunes of the individual for 6fty
years-subtractiug something from every
days happiness and efficiency, and adding
something to every days burthen and peril.
1t is also, an inspiring consideration that q
good principle, noble impulse, piece OF
valuable knowledge, well implanted in the
soul, will go on producing arevenue Of good
deeds and inward joy while memory holds
her seat.
If we were TO overtake young man in the
moment Of temptation, we should be little
disposed TO speak to him Of the shortness of
life, until We had exhausted all the arguments
founded on its duration. We should rather
say to him Young friend life is long The
deed you mediate may be done in AN hour,
but it will write an ineffaceable record on
your memory, upon your character, upon
your countenance. You can never in this
world Outlive its consequences. You will
never be able to forget it, Ponder well the
awful length of life. What prodgious
stretch of time is the thing we call a
year What an interminable and intoer-
able procession of griefs aud miseries may
be its twelve slowly revolving months
And Fifty such years have becu the result OF
single act of shame.
This tremendous fact Of the length of life
occurs to the mind with great force, when
we observe how readily parents sacrifice the
future good of their children in order to
silence the clamorous desire OF the moment
They forget that the body which they are
deblitating is the body which their child
may have to inhabit for three quaters of q
century. They forget that the character
which they are effeminating is that with
which their child will have to confront the
world, years aud years after they have gone
to their account. They forget, in a word,
that life is long

Chaste Language.

Our good old English tongue is suScepti-
bic of great variations. 1t will utter in
sweet sentences smooth and soft as the how-
ing honey, the holiest feelings of tenderness
aud affection, or it will CRATE harsh discord
or thunder maledictions. 1t is plable in
strumeut ready to snrve many purposes
From some lips it is beautiful and musical
charming the ear and delightng the soul.
From Others it is rough, corse discordant
1t expresses what is in the speaker or
writer.
Gcoi language is ever a beautiful thing
Who does not love to hear it 1t indca'
ties a geneteman, lady, ascholar, friend.
1t is an evidence Of refinement, taste, good
manners, culture judgment, good breeding,
1t is happy influence, this proper vehicle
of good thoughts and proper feelings.
1t is said that at one period of Athenian
history, the ear and taste OF the people oi
Athens were so cultivated that public
speaker would be hssed by the common peo'
pie for a coarse expression or an ungram
matical sentence. This perhaps, is fastid
ious refinement, but pure and proper Ian
guage is ever delightful, and ought always
to be used For home use, for friendship
for social life, how admirable is chast Ian
guage. A grammar, dictionary, prope
attention to the cultivator of oue's ever
day speech, will soon give one correct an'
agreeable habits of conversation.

Negroes In Japan.

Negroes are as much Of curiosity in Japan
as the Japanese would be in the interior of this
country. In writing from Jeddo, the Rev. Mr..
Wood, who is in the suite of Minister Ward,
thus speaks of the excitement created by the
appearance of two Virginia negroes in the
streets of that city
Two Virginia negroes Of the deepest dye
accompanied US as ServitOrS, who were SER
wants in the ship. The people in Yeddo
had never seen black man ; and from their
own dark though not black complexion,
ought not to be frightened at deeper shades
John and Isaiah were mounted, and proud
of the occasion and themselves, dashed
away in all directions, making large dis
play of ivory aud thick lips, while their
bodies were at an angle of forty-ive dc
grees, on each side Of the horse by turns
while their knees were bent, and their arm:
spread, as if intent on the old Milerite feai
Of speedy ascent. A one time John dis
mounted for few moments, when the amoZ
ed populace crowded around him, felt o.
him. lifted his cap, looked in his face, aud
10 all truth attempted TO wipe of and rub
out the hues. which they seemed to think
were laid on like their lacquer upon theiT
wares Failing In this after hard scrub
bing, they burst into loud laugh, and good
naturedly let him remount and pass on.

"Heenan and Sayers had terrible fight.

much. Heenan knocked Sayers clean Oh
his pins and Sayers cracked Heenan SO
hard on the shins, that they rested and rub

made blue stars out Of both of Heenan's
'yeepers, saying. There, now, my ooy,,

then they fell back into the arms OF their
