A Balloon Voyage to the North
Pole,

A Englishman has lately been il
lustrating his ideas of a balloon voy-
age to the North Pole in the Lon
don Graphic. His plan proposes
three balloons substantially fastened
together, capable of carrying six
men, besides three tons weight of
gear, boat cars, stores, provis-
ions, tents sledges, dogs, com
pressed gas and ballast. The tri-
angular framework connecting the
balloons would be fitted with ropes,
so that the occupants could 60
from one balloon to another in the
same manner as sailors lie upon the
yards of ship, and the balloons
would be equipOised by means of
bags of ballast suspended from this
framework, and hauled to the re-
quired position by ropes. Trial
ropes would be attached to the bal
looms. so as to prevent their ascent
above a certain height-about 500
feet-at which elevation they would
be balanced in the air, the spare
ends of the ropes trailing over the
ice. The boat cars would be
housed in for warmth, and tele-
crra,bio nou,p,un icot;cp Eanf ~,
with the ships by means of a wire
uncoiled from large wheel as the
balloons moved onward. This wire
being marked at every five miles,
would also serve to keep a record
of the distance traversed. Com
mander Cheyne proposes that the
balloons should start about the end
of May, on the curve of a wide cir
Gle of known diameter, ascertained
approximately by meteorological
observations conducted on board
the vessel, and at two obseryatories
some thirty miles distant in oppo-
site directions. 1t is estimated
that, with knowledge Of the diane
ter of the wind circle, and the
known distance from the Pole, the
balloons could be landed within a.
least twenty miles Of the long
wished for goal. There the bal
looms would be securely moored, /
and when the necessary observa
tions at the Pole have been carried |
out, return wind would be Sc
cured Cor their return, the requisite |
full imitation having been made 10y |
means OF she surplus gas taken oui
in a compressed condition. The |
returning voy ayers would arrest
their course to the southwark on |
the parallel of latitude on which
they lett their ship and the remain
der of their journey, east or west,
would be performed by means OF
the dogs and sledges conveyed in
the balloons,

Why We Laugh.

1t is generally believed that we
laugh because we are happy. This
Is, however, not at all the case; and
the error is perhaps thus explained
that we certainly have a feeling of
joy while laughing, but this is more
likely the consequence than the
cause of laughter. One is happy
because one has a reason for laugh
ing: the reason of the laugh itself
lies, however, in the contrast be-
tween our conception OF an event
and the perception of it when it
occurs. The greater the contrast
the more we are invited to laughter.
The simple circumstance of our be
ing happy will never make us laugh.
Let some one receive a sum of
money, upon the receipt of which
much depends, hewIll certainly re-
joice, but not laugh, at that event.
That sad people laugh more rare
ly and are less easily moved to it
than gay ones, lies alone in this.
that the lively places of the intel
lectual powers in the former are ma
terially impaired through that which
is the cause of their sadness, while
the free and untrammeled spirit of
the untroubled condition, are more
inclined to perceive the contrasts
In the well known joke,
where one Of two children who are
about the advantages Of
their respective parents, having ex-
hausted his arguments, cries out at
last, Eyes, but my father has
mortgage on his property" we have
not the least cause for joy; but the
that some one could |
as an advantage the having !
a mortgage on a piece of property |
contrasts so strongly with our con |
;eption OF it that we laugh. In the |
'oIlowing joke we may always be |
moved to sadness-but we still
augh, for here the boy says: "Yes.
O-morrow my Grandmother will be
buried and not yours"
Ii the heartiness and frequency OF
aughter were the proof of frequent
iod great happiness, it would fol
ow from the saying of Jesus Sirach,
"A tool liiteth up his voice with
aughter, but wise man snail scarce
augh secretly" that the fool oltener
ejoices, and therefore in u certain
ense is happier than wise man.

Mar your banks there dwells maiden,
Ny fondest love and dearest pride.
She's sweet and charming creature,
As you see upon your way,
Kind Of heart and bright of feature,
Lovely as the dawn Of day
The mellow sunshine Of her eyes,
Where sweetly shines affeotion's soul,
Is like the light that sunny skies
Beam on your waters when they roll.
am certain that you know her,
Oft she fingers by your ride,
Her sweet face you often show her,
M'rrored in your crystal tide.
Oft upon your banks she rambled,
On your silver waves abe smiled,
In your limpid waters gamboled,
When merry, laughing child.
" bile along your brook she wandersy
When your sides she fingers near,
To her, as she sings aud ponders,
Whisper something sweet to hear.
When this sweetest of Ewes daughters
Gives her ruby lips to thee,
To imbibe thy crystal waters,
Kiss those dear, sweet lips for me.
Crystal fountain, lovely, laden
With your waters to the sea,
Whisper to this charming maiden,
Something very sweet for me.
Say TO her there's one that wishes
he could see her bright eyes beam.
See her as the merry fishes
See her from thy pesrly stream.
Tell her that he still remembers
The sweet joys she did impart,
And that loves undying embers
Now consumes his yearning heart
Tell her ev'ry fond emotion
That his very breast doth fill,
Say that with q true devotion,
He worships her, and ever will.
Ask her for one sweet token,
Which you'll bear him on your waves,
Be it but word that's spoken.
That one word his fond heart Graves.

With bright waves, when next you see
Her sweet face, like rose of Eden,
Whisper loving words for me.

While sweetly shines their splendOr

His devoted heart shall love Der,
Love her with sweet delight
Tell to her a sweet, sweet story,
Let sweet words each thought unfold,
Say till time with age is hoaIy
His fond heart will ue'er grow cold
Tell her he feels sad and lonely
Ever s.nce he went away,
That he loves her, loves her only,
With love that meier can decay.
Tell her that till time restores her
From the absence that divides,
That he worships and adores her,
Tell her all this and more besides
Crystal fountain, music-laden,
Now wish, for me, sweet good night,
To this fair and charming maiden,
Wish happy dreams and slumbe light,
Stunt bers pleasant, and dreams most sweet,
Where absent souls in visions meet.
