When we reached the roadstead where
the Castle in the Air was anchored the
sun broke through the clouds, and we
were assured BY the professor that we
should have splendid view. After
climbing into the car, aud taking our
seats the signal was given, aud slowly
we began to leave the earth. This time
there were two persons who clutched at
the ropes, and our pulse run up from the
normal seventy-two into the nineties.
There were the houses far below present
ing their roofs and their chimneys to
break our fall in case of accident. The
sad thought was that we should have to
drop more than five hundred feet in a
straight line before we could even land
on chimney. We did not seem to be
going away from the earth, but the earth
appeared to be dropping away from us.
The elegant carriages of Columbus Ave.
looked small enough TO hang on ones
watch chain for charms, and as for the
human beings, the effect OF our elevation
was very peculiar We saw them. of
course, greatly shortened They seemed
to be not more than foot or eighteen
inches long But when they walked
we could see the full length Of the stride.
1t was very curious sight-men only a
foot long taking steps three feet in length.

There's pluck, said In my heart, and
in half minute we could look down on
the entire city, and far out into the bay
/ beyond the lower light, and upon Brook
/ line, Dorchester, Charlestown, and, in
deed, upon such view that one could
hardly speak; SO impressed was he with
the magnificence Of the great picture that
lay far, far beneath him, To say that we
enjoyed it, often the trepidation was
over,is to speak in fceble'language. Who
would not enjoy sitting in the lap of Q
friendly cloud and looking down upon
miles and miles Of green pasture and
throbbing city?
/ But all excitement must end, so we

us, and soon stepped again upon the
planet, glad to have been for once W

MEN OF GENIUS.

Tasso's conversation was neither gay
nor brilliant. Dante was neither taciture
or satirical. Butler was either sullen or
biting Gray seldom talked or smiled.
llogarth and Swift were absent-minded
in company. Milton was very unsoci-
able and irritable when pressed into con-
versatlon. Kirwin, though copious and
eloquent in public addresses, was meagre
and dull in colloquial discourses. Virgil
was heavy in conversation. La Fontaine
appeared heavy, coarse and stupid; he
could not speak and describe what he had
Just seen, but then he was the model Of
poetry. Chaucer's silence was more
agreeable than his conversation Dry
den's conversation was slow and dull, his
humor saturine and reserved. Cornelius
In conversation was so insipid that he
never failed in wearying; he did not
even speak correctly the language of
which he was such master Ben John.
ston used to sit silent in company and
suck his wine. Southey was stiff, sedate
and wrapped mp in asceticism. Addison
was good company with his intimate
friends, but in mixed company be preser-
we'd his dignity by still aud reserved
silence. Fox IN conversation never flag
ged bis animation and yivacity were in
exhanstlble. DR. Bently was loquacious,
a. was also Grotius Goldsmith "wrote
like an angel and talked like poor Poll" !"
Burke was entertaining, enthusiastic and
interesting in conversation. Curran was
conyiyal deity. Leigh Hunt was a
pleasant stream, ofconyeI sation Carlyle
doubts, objects and constantly demurs.

The trade movement was slower to-day and the
merchandise markets were generally very quiet,
but a general rule commercial values were
about the same. The export movement was still
retarded by the scarcity or tonnage, yet the de-
mand was not sufficiently active to carry up the

ciable degree. There was apparently but little dis
