An Albright Moonlight Sail Through
Space.

The Buffalo Courier gives the details OF
the balloon voyage of Professor King
from that city to a point between Salem
and Brighton, n. J.. a distance of about
five hundred miles. 1t seems that only
two longer balloon journeys have been
made in this country. Before cutting loose
one of the voyagers had his watch set at
exact Buffalo time, and by this chrOnome-
ter Professor King cut the rope and the
balloon lett the ground at precisely four
minutes past six o'clock One minute
after leaving the earth the balloon had
risen to a height of 400 feet. Professor
King decided to run rather low, and
allowed the Buffalo to descend so that at
many times the drag-ropc would touch
the ground The Buffalo sailed on all
night, flying over peak after peak, and
the eyes Of those she carried SO gallantly
were pleased with the sight Of cultivated
lands in the valleys After the light If
day died out Professor King felt sufficient
confidence that the direction in which he
had thus far sailed would be preserved, 10
feel reasonably certain that the balloon
would traverse the mountainous regions Of
accurately determined between the dying
hence the advent Of her celestial highness
was awaited with much interest, and
when the "sweet regent of the sky did
silver the scene she was most politely
though enthusiastically welcomed The
great advantage of her illuminating pres
ence was that the direction of the balloon
could be traced When day dawned the
balloon was found to be sailing along
parallel with the Susquehanna, and to the
west of il, and just entering the nothern
portion OF York County. The scene was
lndescribably beautiful when looked upon
from such Il height rs that at VIII III the
occupants We're. The sun rose higher as
the ball on crossed into Maryland, and
the wind changed. causing il to AXE
more easterly direction, passing over the
Susquehanna five or six miles above
Havre de Grace at forty minutes past five
A. NJ, t4en 1T an altitude of nearly 5000
feet. The panorama was one never be
fore untoIded to the eye OF man-the
noble Susquehanna, opening into Chesa
peake Bay, and Delaware Bay and River,
with the surrounding surprisingly beau
titul country for over fifty miles about
being given TO the gaze at once. At halt
past six A. NJ. the balloon passed directly
over Delaware City on the western shore
of Delaware Bay, and she was at a height
Of nearly two miles. Cape May was dis
tinctly visible, and beyond that the broad
expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. This was
glory enough for one voyage, and as the
country below was advantageous for a de-
scent and the balloon was travelling rapid
ly towards the sea-coast, which was not
many miles distant, Professor King decided
to land The basket first struck quite
violently in a corner OF Il wheat-tield, re-
bounded over half Il mile of scrnb-oak
and hickory saplings, and then came to a
decidedly tumultuous settling at five min
utes past seven in the morning.

Lying remote-a sunset Land of Ease,
Whereto tie voyager is softly hoated
Across the Lethean seas.
Ii is a region ovcr,whosc existence
The shades of doubt and disbelief are cast:
\ realm that lies, obscure by night and distance,
vague, visionary, vast
hereof haste to bring, @ friend and strangers
Some brief account for L am traNel worm
But lately treading. after many dangers,
The margins of the morn.
The mountains lift their submits, dim and
hoary,
In unduatng grandeur, far away,
And all things wear Il pale and languld glory,
Unknown TO braZen day,
There ancient Night. her starry rule ,ustan-
ing,
Sways her mild Sceptre over land and sea;
Amid her royal court Screnely reigning.
With peace at her right hand.
And Sleep, her slave, duskv and huge as Dagon.
Before her, prone and powerless as the dead :;
One arm still around his purple-staned Hagen
And one beneath his head.
There all strange beauties rapt Fancy renders,
EAwrapIhe sense; from cliffs that nod around,
White cataracts, moonstruck with golden spien-
doris.
Drop down without a sound.
Still meadows where nocturnal blooms are
growing,
Languid with love, lie lapt in sumb'rous
calm;
Wooed by enamored winds so family blowing
From groves of dropping palm.
By winding creek and sedgy -margined river,
The heavy-headed peoples doze and do1e;
Narcotic sweetness fills the air forever,
And all things love reposc.
And around the land mighty wall arises,
Upon whose gates eternal starlight CLEANS.
Showing legend with antique devices
Inwrought-The Land of Dreams.
