a Young Lady : sFrightruI Adventure.

Miss Lizzie Ihling. Prof Wise's
niece, made an ascension in Philadel-
adelphia Monday. She is veil known
IN this section. When she had reach
ed about 5000 feet in the air, two
miles from the starting place, the bal
loon burst and was torn from the top
to the valve. The gas came out in
such quantities as TO completely
Overpower Miss Ihling, and she fell
into the bottom Of the basket insen-
sible She lay there and the balloon
feli to the ground. The lady was
badly injured, but not killed. When
the balloon was first seen to burst, it
spun around with fearful velocity,
and the gas bag fell over the side
The parachute arrangement attached
to the balloon is what saved the lady
from being dashed to pieces.
When she regained her senses she
said that she was so impressed with
the beautiful eight disclosed to view
that she commenced taking notes and
writing down her impressions when
the melton of the balloon suddenly
changed. The balloon sheered around
from its course and appeared to be
trying to go in two different direc-
tions. She says:
Il had maintained my presence Of
mind up to this time and not know
ing how to accountlsior the strange
event, l dropped note book and pen
ell and clasped the sides Of the bas-
ket. As it swayed from side to side
felt a giddy sensation, but thinking
the best course to pursue was to keep
quiet 1 did not pull the exploding or
the valve rope. Almost Immediately
after / heard a loud noise, and look
ing up saw that the bag had bursted
and the gas was going. l also no
ticed that l was descending rapidly
Then 1 got sick and sunk into the
bottom of the basket, and don't re-
member anything more until was

The Better angels of Our Nasnre.

Some Of the words Of Abraham
Lincoln, spoken in his first inaugural
address, SAYS the Lynehburg Tir-
ginian, seem now about to be fulfill
ed. At all events, they will be ac-
cepted in o very different spirit at this
time from that feeling of derision and
seorn with which many Of the people
of the South receive everything that
fell from the lips Of the man who
was regarded then as the enemy Of
their section. We have often won
dered how that uncOuth looking man,
the coarse joker who spent some Of
the years of his early life among the
rude boatmen Of the West, and near
" all OF it on the froatier, could origi-
nate the beautifully poetic idea con-
tanned in the subjoined extract, and
the still more striking aRd eloquent
passage found in his address at the
dedication Of the Gettysburg ceme-
tery-a passage which, for beauty Of
diction, we venture TO say, is not sur
passed by anything in the English
language. But to the words Of the
inaugural. Mr.. Lincoln said:
Eve are not enemies, but friends
We must not be eEemies-though
passion may have strained, it must
not break our bonds Of affection.
The mystic chords Of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and
patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstOue all over this broad
land, will ret swell the chorus Of the
Union when again touched, as surely
they viii be, by the better angels Of
our nature. y
We are beginning to feel now the
force Of this language, for the better
angels Of our nature" are touching
"the mystic chords Of memory in a
way that IS producing vibrations all
over this continent, and that neart
must be irredeemably wicked that
would seek 10 retard the restoration
Of the era Of good feeling We have
had enough Of strife and bitterness
for cur time. Let Us now seek to
cultivate a better spirit Behold

it is for brethren to dwell together IN

He couldn't imagine what was the
matter aud he felt scared about i-.
but after several Intellectual struggles

cry. just then the foreman came
out, and seeing the boy, he said;
What's the matter, sonny

The Prophecy II an Indian chief.

him of an Indian chief Il viii be

Will serve to round a period in some
Of the Centennial addresses.
In l770, Washington, then a colo
mel, was accompanied BY DR.. Craik
and large party on an exploring ex-
peditiOn up the Kanawha. One dav.
while in camp, the party were visited
by a company of Indians, and their
interpreter advancing. said that one
Of them was 4 great Sachem, and
commanded the Indians on the fall
Of Braddock, sixteen years previous
He was received BY Washington, and
after the council IRE was lighted he
stood up and addressed him as fol-
lows:

Of nations, and a people yet unborn

bly, are we reminded that the Father
Of our country was under the special
protection Of heaven.
