During q debate on resolution in the
Rhode Island house of representatives, a
few days ago, Mr.. Hill of Woonsocket,
made an allusion to the premiums paid by
the Agricultural society in his town on
bulls, boars, ETC., and member, who had
been opposing the resolution, rudely inter
rupted him, saying "Well, if the town Of
Woonsocket has any bigger horses than it
sends here, it ought to have a premium"
The effectiveness of the remark, says the
Providence Journal, was destroyed by Mr..
Smith. also of Woonsocket, who quietly
and politely replied "The gentleman
forgets himself when he makes that re-
mark"

Plutarch says: "The eyes of the hog
are so formed and disposed of in the head,
that it is always looking upon the lowest
objects and can in no manner contem-
plate things elevated and lofty. 1t can
not look upward unless thrown back with
its feet upward. Although this animal is
addicted to the most discordant seuealing
and grunting, yet as soon as it lie laid on
its back it is Immediately silent, so great
is its establishment at the heavens, to the
sight of which it is unaccustomed and
which causes such fear that it is unable to
cry"

gives the following rules for finding the Cath

that they have been verified by the experience

disturbed the silence t}ne moment the
balloon would reel, then it would sweep
across with frightful velocity into anoth-
er edrrent as it ascended or descended.
| The little ropes thai held me to the bal
loon were taut, and the trapeze swung
empty in the wind below. | then pulled
the valve-rOpe. This line extends up
through the neck of the balloon. and i
fastened TO the doors of the valve at the
very top of the gas-chamber 1t REQUIRES
considerable strength TO pull it. Nv
hands were numb, but | soon succeeded
IN opening the valve and could plainly
hear the gas rushing out at the ton The
balloon descended, and it was not long
before l could see, way down thousands
of feet, the first faint speck of the earth
below. The rain had ceased, and snow
flakes were not to be seen. Lower and
lower descended, until could see the
tiny streams of water, like so many sill
very serpents, stretching their slender
bodies over the land. Woods. houses.
and hills gradually came into sight.
FLOWING THROUGH THE TREES.
The wind was blowing a gale as Ian
preached the earth IL swept the bal
loon down towards dense wood with
frightful rapidity l drew up the trap
eze bar, for l did not wish to catch in
the tree tops. In a moment afterward
the balloon swept down and carried me
crashing through the tree-tOps. 1t is like
skipping a stone across the surface of a
pond The foliage was not yet out. and
the bare bOughs of the trees were sharp
and scratehy. At one time my head was
somehow or other lodged between two
limbs, and the first thing / knew | was
bleeding fearfully from deep cut in nv
neck.
How | became extricated / cannot
tell. l was being dragged along
at fearful rate. / threw out ballast
and the balloon assembled again,
and we cleared the woods. When over
a pailing fence i threw out my anchor.
IL caught, and in an instant the fence
was demolished. | then threw out the
anchor toward another fence, when il |
caught and jerked off the top rail. The |
balloon swayed and shot off again, when |
threw the anchor toward a stump.
1t caught, and Immediately the rope
broke. The balloon started off again,
dashed through pine trees and woods, I'M
TIL finally | watched the opportunity,
grappled with the top of the tree, and,
twisted the branches about the eoneen-
trating ring, at last secured the balloon.
The gas allowed TO remain in it for fear
the bulk of the muslin and netting
would come down and suffocate or throw
me from the tree-top to the ground.
Finally help came, and after cutting
down several trees l landed, very much
used up. During the desperate drag
through the woods received all my in
iuries, and several times ! intended to
jump, but did not. l confess that the
journey was a frightful one, but / shall |
try it over and over again."

THE CRY OF THE WOMEN.

At recent meeting of literary women OF
New Y FORK the toast, Tho Women OF Ohio.
was offered, and the following beautiful
response was made by Mrs. Caroline 4,
SOule:
Do you hear the cry of the women
Of the women whose hearts are broken?
o my brothers! listen TO the wailing,
And let il be the token
OF the need there Il iU pray
For the dawning of II better day
OF Il day when there shall he no signing
Over manhood in the gutter dying;
OF day when wives and mothers sadness
Shall be all forgotten i'll their gladness.
Do you hear the cry of women
of the women whose hopes are weary?
D my brothers! listen to the wailiRg
That comes up from the homes SO dFeaFy,
And let it be an answer when they say:
Wherefore do these women need TO pray?'
Think of it-were yOn our wives and you
our mothers
And say if you wish TO hear them signing
Over manhood in tie gutter dying.
Do YOU hear the crv of the women
The women who look forward for the
As day whose anguish they can reckon
By the memories of cruel, living sorrow?
o my brothers! lend helping hand
To this earnest, to this solemn band
Slaves TO wrclchedecss for ever and for ever,
Unless Right doth Use lis mighty lever,
And lift manhood from It's slime,
From its sluggishness and crime.
DO you hear the cry of the women
of the women whose true hearts are thilling
With Christ-lOve for sinners,
And who, like the Lord, willing
To go whereSoever there are ialtering souls
With not faith enough TO make them whole?
o my brothers! listen to the cry,
And be not ashamed Of fearful eye;
For the dawning of "A brighter day.

had blighted the life of this merry little
girl, and made her a sad, brOken-hearted
woman. And then the thought came,
could it be that this curse threatened
the happiness of his helpful, loving wife
This subject was beginning to look very
different to Mr.. Deering from what it did
a short time before
when think, continued Mrs. Deer
ing, ''of all the sin and crime which in
temperance occasions, of the suffering
and misery that it brings to thousands
of homes; of the miserable blOated
wretches who I'LL our asylums and poor
houses: can only wonder how any man
of sound Judgment and sane mind can
touch the accurSed stuff, Horace she
said, looking up suddenly with an arch
smile, that, while il betrayed her knOwl-
edge of the matter. took the harshness
from her words, Horace. what do you
think of the conduct of that man who
hid the demijOhn in the hayl'
Mr.. Deering returned the roguish smile
with a look of tenderness, as he an
swered, Il think that he has been acting
like a confounded fool, Mary" The
words We're characteristic of the man,
blunt and decisive. Perhaps at another
time Mrs Deering would have reproved
their bIuntness; but just now, they
sounded to her like the sweetest music.
Mrs. Deering never referred to the hid
den demiiohn again-she never had oc-
caSiOn to.
