stray RaIleon.

Some of the Paris balloons, taken by
unfavorable winds, have been blown over
to Norway. The Gazette of Gottenburg
of December LIST, says that balloon
without passengers fell in the neighbor-
hood of the little town Of Arodshered.
The simple inhabitants of the place were
at first greatly astonished by the appear
ance in the air of balloon-a thing
which they never seen before. 1t came
along, gradually sinking, until it landed
before the door of an amazed and terri
fed peasant. There it lay, half full Of
gas, and rolling about with a peculiar
rattle, as if it werecompletely exhausted
after long voyage.
Tne innocent peasants kept for time
at a respectful distance; but they soon
found out that the object Of their fear
and establishment was only a stray bal
loon from Paris. 1t contained three
large letter bags tied with chains. Two
of them we're in perfect condition, but
the third was torn open. The contents
were of little importance, consisting
only of a number of old newspapers. In
the car were six fine healthy pigeons, a
bag containing several articles of toilet
some understanding marked ''E G. NJ. y
and ''R. NJ, Scotch plaid, an officer S
cap, and an electrical battery. The fate
of the poor yoyagers remain mystery.

singular Ornament.

A brooch worn by the Countess Of
4 has recently been the subject Of
conversation in an eminent company Of
polished nobility, who are now exiles in
Paris. Encircled by twenty brilliants
upon dark blue ground Of lapsis la zuli,
and protected tT a glass in front, may be
seen-Ehat7 A Portrait A lock %
hair2 No neither the one nor the other;
but only four bent pins wrought together
in form Of star The history Of this
Singular ornament is contained in the
following communication; The Count
- was. some years ago, in ms OWL
country, suspected of being too much
inclined 10 politics, and was, eonse
quently, one night, without examination
or further inquiry, torn from the bosom
Of his family BY police officers, conveyed
TO q fortress in a distant part of the
country, and thrown into dark, damp
dungeon.
Days, weeks, months passed away
without his being brought 70 trial The
unhappy man saw himself robbed Of
every succor. In the stiffness of death
and the darkness Of the grave be felt not
only his strength failing him, but also
bis mind wandering. An unspeakable
anguish took hold upon him. lie who
feared not to appear before his judges,
now trembled before himself Conscious
Of his danger, he endeavored 70 find
something to relieve himself from the
double misery Of idleness and loneliness,
and thus preserve from him terrible m
sanity. -Four pins, which happened &C
cidentally TO be in his coat, had fortu-
nately escaped the notice of the jailer.
These were to be the means Of deliver
ance to his spirit. He threw the pins
upon the earth, which alone was the floor
Of his gloomy dungeon, and then en-
ployed himself in seeking for them in
the darkness. When, after a tiresome
search, he succeeded in finding them, he
threw them down anew, and 50, again
and again, did he renew his voluntary
task. All the day long, sitting, lying or
kneeling, he CROPPED about with his hand
until he found the pins which he had
intentionally scattered. This fearful,
yet beneficial, recreation continued for
six years. Then, at last, a great pO-
HIcdl event Opehtu buoutuil lut dOOfb
of his prison The count had Just scat
tered his pins, but he would not leave
his cell without taking with him his little
instruments of his own preservation
from despair and madness. He po0n
found them, for now the clear, bright
light Of day beamed in through the door
way of his dungeon. As The Count re-
lated this sad story to the Countess, she
seized the pins with holy eagerness.
Those crooked, yellow brass pins, which,
during six fearful years, had been scat
tered and gathered alternately, were
become to her as precious relics; and
now, set in frame Of brilliants worth
e400, as a treasure Of much greater
-->iue, she wears them On her bosom.
