When Mr.. John Wise of this city was lost
in his balloon called "Tho Pathfinder" sew
eral months ago, the newspapers printed ma
ny accounts of trips made into the air, some
by brave men and some by foolish ones.
A lady who lives in the town of Centralia,
in the State of Illinois, said nothing until all
the rest were through talking. Then she
told the editor of the ST. Louis Republican TO
look into the number of his paper that was
printed on the twenty first day of September,
1858. The editor looked, aud found an ac-
count Of how two little children took trip
in a balloon all by themselves. On that day
an aeronaut, or sailor of the air. named
Brooks filled his air ship with gas on the
farm of Mr.. Harvey, who lived near Cen
tralia. He expected to sail in the afternoon.
About noontime, Mr. Harvey put his two
children into the basket of the balloon, Just
to please them, and not thinking for mo-
ment of any danger The balloon was tied
to tree by ropes. All at once gust Of
wind broke the ropes, and the balloon shot
up into the sky, with nobody but the two
children in the basket. Mr.. Harvey was
wild with grief, and shouted aloud, They're
to the spot, only to see the balloon drifting
of to the north, and more than mile high
One of the children was girl, Hettie, eight
years old, and the other was her little broth
er, Willie, four years old. Both cried when
they found themselves leaving the ground
and going on very, very strange journey in
deed. Nettie looked over the edge Of the
basket and saw her father wringng his hands
away below. Soon the people looked to her
smaller than babies, and the houses like toy
houses. She and Willie were going up, up,
all the time. Il expect We are going to
heaven, Willie said Nettie. Willie thought
it would be very cold in heaven then for
the higher they went, the colder it grew.
Nettie wrapped Willie in her apron, and held
his head in her lap until he cried himself
fast asleep. Then Nettie folded her hands
and waited. She said. Il think we must be
near the gate now" She meant the gate of
heaven, that she had heard about in Sunday
school But Nette fell asleep tco.
When she awoke. she found that some
strange man was lifting her from the basket
The strange man was a farmer in Northern
Illinois. who had seen the balloon drifting
low across his field The rope was dragging,
and so be caught it, and landed the children
safely. The balloon had hoated all night.
Nette and Willie's father soon learned that
they had been found, and took them home
two days afterward Nettie is now a wo-
man, the very same one who told the Re-
publican to look back in its files for the stO-
ry.- PhilddelpAjd Times.

There are two ways TO pay a church debt.
One is for the CATION to subscribe the
money, at the cost of some self sacrifice, and
pay the debt as people pay any debt. The
other way is to devise various means to get
somebody else to pay the debt, or to help pay
it. Under this latter head come bazars, con
certs, and numerous entertainments of one
sort and another.
We have very little faith in this second way
of paying church debt. Not to speak of
the gambling and cheating that have charac-
teriZed many such entertainments, and
brought indelible disgrace upon the churches
concerned in them it is too costly way of
paying a debt. The method was well de-
scribed by a Presbyterian elder as follows (:
Now, brethren, let US get up supper and
eat ourselves rich. Buy your food. Then
give it to the church. Then 60 buy it back
again. Then eat it up, and then-your church
debt is paid" This is a fair summing up of
the whole thing. For every dollar of the debt,
the church pays two dollars by taking this
roundabout course aud that, too, without
reckoning the time and labor given to man
aging the entertainments as worth anything.
The hope Of getting help from outsiders is
generally delusive. In nine cases out of ten,
the money will be found to have come main
ly from the pockets of the congregation.
Merely as a matter of dollars and cents
therefore, putting all moral considerations to
one side, the cheapest way to pay a church
de bt is to pay it Out-aud- out and have done
with it, A church that takes this course,
moreover, acquires a reputation in the COM
muniiy for raightforwardnoss and honor
that is above all price, and a most efficient
help in its religious work. Still, if a church
prefers TO pay two dollars for one, and to
throw away precious time aud strength, pro-
vided it will allow no dishonesty in its enter
tanmeuts, We can see no vital objection to
their taking this course. Examiner and

Clothed In White-a happy child at play,
Her face all radiant as the huts Of morning
With fairy step she trod;
creature lovely as the flowers Of May,
Who could beWitch us with her childish scorning,
or rule us with nod.
Clothed in white-with blossoms in her hair,
maiden whom to love appeared duty
spell around her hung;
A sense Of all that Nature makes most fair
That lled with rapture all who watched her beauty
or heard her silver tongue.
Clothed in whits-she heard the weddng-chime,
Blushing beneath her crown Of orange-hoWers,
As her soft answer flows
Like music, with no prescience Of the time
Wher DER her life, which love so fOndly dowers,
The shadowy grave will close.
Clothed In white-her form seem to see
Shine In the glory Of new existence,
Defying Time aud night,
And from all earth-bOrn memories set free;
While we, like travellers toiling in the distance,
Yearn for the coming light.

Mr.. William F. Belden is being pushed for
ward at the works of John Roach d Son, at
Chester, Pa. The fourth yacht is being built

built in this country. The cost of each will
be about 500, 600 The prize will be award
ed to the boat that makes the best time be-
tween New York aud Southampton.

Tn. Adirondack Wilderness.

1t has been said that the Adirondack region
is IA geographical and chronological anOma-
ly." 1t belongs hardly by any reason to the
State of New York or to the latter quarter of
this century. 1t is a savage forest spread out
over an immense area, given over even at
this time mainly to solitude, and has no
counterpart on this continent east of the
Mississippi Mr. Yerplanck Colvin, superin-
tendent Of the typographical survey of this
region, says that though the geographical
centre of the wilderness may be readily and
easily reached in the light canoe.like boats
of the guides, by lakes and rivers, which form
IA labyrinth of passages for boats the core,
or rather cores, of this wilderness, extend on
either hand from these broad avenues of wa
ter and, in their interior, spots remain to-day
as untrodden by man, and as unknown and
wild, as when the Indian padded his birchen
boat upon those streams and lakes. Amid
those mountain solitudes are places where, in
all probability, the foot of man never trOd I;
aud the panther has his den among the rocks,
aud rears his savage kittens undisturbed save
by the growl of bear or screech of lynx, or
the hoarse croak of raven taking his share of
the carcass of "a slain deer.
That such region as this should exist in
the largest and most densely populated State
in the Union, while none of the States of the
near West, such as Wisconsin, or Iowa, or IL
linois, have any equal area given up to such
a wilderness, is almost freak of civilization.
The region is not all forest and mountain.
There are hundreds of beautiful lakes and
rivers, and green valleys beautifying its viii
derness, and the pioneers of pleasure yearly
make miniature excursions into its recesses.
But the surveyors under Mr. Colyin have
passed over hundreds of miles where the foot
Of no other white man has ever trod, and
hundreds of miles yet remain unseen even by
them.
The highest peak in the Adirondack range
and in the State is Mount Marcy, whose
height, according to Mr.. Colvin's latest fig
ures, is :, 344 feet above the SEA. Then come

These figures and the order of the peaks will
be new to many persons who have obtained
their information from cyclopBdias and guide
books. Mount Marcy is probably the most
interesting, as well as the highest and the
grandest of the Adirondack peaks Towering
more than a mile above the sea level it slopes
grandly upward, with great mountain ridges
branching out from il in various directions.

Little four-year-old Gussie has papa with
a fine beard and mOustache. The other day
he had his moustache taken of, and when he
came home in the evening she met him as
usual, but as soon as she saw his altered
looks she ran crying to her mother, and with
real grief exclaimed; "Oh dear what shall
do; l don't know my papa!"
Everything in nature INDUCES in amuse-
ment. The lightning plays, the wind whis-
ties, the thunder rolls, the snow flies the
waves leap and the fields smile. Even the
buds shoot and the rivers and streams run.
