20 few people Know what they live for. Ex-
listing is not living. We say that we love the
world, but we do not even take pains to learn
about the world. Many people think that the
object Of life is to take care of the body, but
they don't even get acquainted with it; they
burden, overload, and torment 1t. Every
body loves life. Even the miser holds 1t as
his dearest treasure; yet how many are there
who have not said, "What shall do with
myself have too much time; I'm bored
with it!'-the very thing they love best.
There is no time to be thrown away, there is
so much to see, so much to learn, and the
school hours are so short. 1t is not that We
should do some great thing, but that each
should live his own life. 1t is not the amount
of the thing done; it is the amount of life, of
determination put into it. Some say there is
too much talk about work they want to have
a good time; but very few people are in earn
est even in having good time. They say
they would like to do certain things, but for
what people would saw. They make slaves
of themselves for strangers, and forego the
pleasure and profit of doing as they please in
order to please other people who don't care a
straw for them. One constantly secs this
yielding to the whims of others among
women. They should live for the sake of
living. Miss Dickinson drew vivid picture
of the life of fashionable lady, devoted to
dress, novel-reading, and flirting, and who
finally marries because she is expected tc
marry. Men were treated with no greater
leniency. There are few, she said, who live
even in their money getting. They toll like
slaves to their graves and drop into them
never having lived an hour. The world
cares little for the individual, living or dead
it matters not who wrote such book or did
sucl, Decd provided the book or the deed
be well done. But to the individual the diff
ference is that between heaven and hell.
Miss Dickinson closed with brilliant picture
of sunrise on the Rocky Mountains, which
she had seen from lofty peak. "Ihe sun,
she said, ..would have risen on such scene
though had not been there. The question
is not of the suns rising or on what it rises
but whether you or shall be there to see it
and remember, friends, that to him who
climbs the mountain tops the glory OF the
Lord is revealed"

DESCENT OF TIE RELATIONSHIPS

DESCENT Or THE B1LLOONISTS.
The aronauts who went up from Brooklyn,
N. Y, on Monday in the Graphic balloon en-
countered the rain storm while over Litch-
field county, CT, and were for a time in great
peril, but finally succeeded in landing with
out any serious injury by jumping from the
car. dispatch to the Herald gives the fol-
lowing account of the descent:
"The aronauts had pleasant time of it up
to about noon, when they got into the stormy
area of Litchfeld county. After passing over
a mountain they arrived at a valley, where all
motion of the balloon was suspended, and
they were for time shrouded in dense cloud
of mist and pouring rain, the balloon, every
now and then being caught and shaken by vio
lent gusts of wind. The adventures were
uncertain what to do. At first they thought
they would wait until the balloon descended
sufficiently and then cut all the ropes and
drop the boat, letting the bag escape. The
storm, however, soon increased with such vio-
lence that this was given up as impracticable,
and it was decided to open the valve; but at
this moment Ol5, p. NJ the balloon was
struck by tremendous squall of wind and
rain and was driven to an immense height
above the valley and then down again to the
earth with frightful velocity, spinning over
the tops of the trees, across a small brook and
towards a bank at the bottom of the mountain.
Donaldson then gave the order to prepare to
jump, and he and Ford scrambled to the side
Of the boat, and when the balloon had reached
within thirty feet of the earth sprang simulta-
neously. They were very much strained, but
were otherwise unframed. Lunt was not
quick enough and the balloon shot into the
air. carrying him clinging to the ropes. He
was speedily in the storm cloud again, and be-
ing whirled about in the most alarming man.
ner. The bag was shaking about above him
with wful force and he could see nothing, so
thick was the cloud. He seized the valve cord
and attempted to open it, but could not, as it
was entangled with the neck of the balloon.
Suddenly tree tops appeared above the fog,
and in an instant the balloon was whirling
through the branches. Lunt climbed to
place above the concentrating ring, and, as
the balloon rushed into thicket, he swung
himself out and dropped. He managed to
catch hold of the topmOst limb of a tall tree,
but the boat scraped over his hands, forcing
him to let go, and he fell through the branch.

MIRAREAU's ORAEIoNs.-When Btienne
Dumont, some forty years ago, claimed to
have aided Mirabeau in the composition of
several of the most memorable speeches
which the great orator delivered from the
tribune of the National Assembly, his pre-
tensions were generally secuted; but a dis
covery has recently been made which proves
that his statement was correct. A keeper of
the Geneva library, NJ. Philippe Plan, has
lighted upon series Of unpublished docu-
ments and letters written by Mirabeau him
self, which seem to put the matter beyond
doubt. These papers were found among the
manuscript collection of Reybaz, which has
passed into the possession of the Geneva
library. Mirabeau's letters to Reybaz make
it evident that the former in many instances
received speeches ready prepared, which he
learned by heart and delivered with all the
fire and passion Of mprovlsation.-London
