Y., and who harl a thrilling experience Knue never after be ing heard of thnjt recalls tlie dreadful night to a Chicago, jroporler: The sky, of an inexprosild v tender Idne, was" really black with stars tliat really did "globe themselves in heaven." Tho whole unlimited expanse was filled with glowing Worlds, round and effulgent, i.earnnd far. The greater bodies burned, ns' it, looked, croso upon us, and between them stretched infinite depths tilled :np with other star. There we hung, 'sepa rate nnd alone1, out of the. only w orld we knew, intruder upon. silence and eternity! It was the gradual linking into the cloud sen, or a gradual rising ,,f Us waves nronnd ns, thathrnught me to a feeling of mv own identity. 1 was really glad when their ileeey moonlit folds covered 1)3 from the majesty of t lie night. The professor, to whom it .was no new exper ience, wai the first to speak. "I'm going down u little," said , he. "I think we've risen too far, and taken a wrong direction." And down wo went, into pitchy darkness. I don't know how long we continued to fall, bnt at last we heard tho clank of a cowbell below us. I "All right," said tho professor. "We are over farms yet. I was afraid of strik ing East for John Brown's track." ."My phosphorous, bottle," said he. 'fl'vo forgotten it, and here we are in the rk! . I I-MUfftAtlAuff aiiaiiijiad-jttiiii. ranch grumbling ho emptied a couple of Uallnst-bags over the- side, and np we went, but not bo rupidly as before. AVitli nn fnipnliciit exclamation the pro- ftsor ciptiel inoro ballast, and our rate f ascent was jierceplildy accelerated. Tho cow-bell chink grew fainter, and finally was no longer heard. The events ff the afternoon, the excitement, and the ipuet of, tho air combined to make rue sleepy, and imperceptibly IJnzed off, the lnt tiling I remember being the "figure of the professor in -black silliontte against the almost im:ertfct)iiblv lighter color of . t ' 4 ' p the night. . I I don't know to this hour how long 1 ptcpt,. but I was awakened by the profes sor roughly shaking my shoulder. "Hub-!" s;iid he, and thetc was snme- lhinj in his voice "that, tnado my blood bound, "Jfale, listen! What do yon hear? Tell me quick!"' ' I listened intently for a second or two. I lieafd a dull sudden rumble that hardly died away before it was 'mice-ceded by another Sound just like it. - "What do yoiNhear?" he demanded im patiently. .-'.' I "I hear something like distant discharge of cannon, said I. j"Cannon! cannon! yon fool! I wish, it wpre acannon. Hale, we are over the shore of Lake Ontario, and this balloon :s sinkin"!1' My heart was in my throat. "For God'i sake throw-over what von have." k "The Inillast is all gone. While yon were Asleep I tossed it to clero so.ne tree tops.". ' What are von going! to do?'' f'Ut! What indued;, Tho wind has changed on ns. I can't' control the bal loon, and we are drilling ont to death! The balloon won't live an hour. The breeze is strong enough to carry ns across if she would live that long, hut she won't." 'Throw over yonr sachel," said I. '.'You throw that rug over, and anything We you have about vou that weirhs an it ounce. . If two men ever worked quick we did. The car was emptied of every thing it poutained, except ourselves, in less than half a minute, and the noise of the break era grew less. You can never know with what anxiety we watched the silvering edge that told where tho moon would emerge from behind a heavy cloud that covered half the sky. Would her light fihow us the cold bosom of Ontario close beneath os, or the dull grateful color of firm ground! It was a question upon the aoUrUon of which hung life and death. . tYWn at last as with a bound the cloud VMS cleared, wo staod looking over the edge of the car, frozen with fright, for there, directly below uk nnd not a thou sand feet away lay the crawling surface of the lake, thp bjaek ni)(l iititv hore no stretching hopelessly along the view to the south and fading every instant. It required very little tjine to show us that the balloon was going down witjj slow but fatal cirtainty. "Hale," said tho professor, looking at mo fixedly, "do you know how far it is to tbe Canadian shore?'1 , I said that I did not, "I'll tell you," said he. "We are about ten miles off the New York shore, rand as nearly as I can judge by that light op- posite tbe port of- Charlotte. From the port of Charlotte to the Canadian shore is sixty miles. I conclude tl ierrfnr that we have got to make this thing sail fifty es, or one or both of us mnst. dron n miles, I said nothing in answer to this. I was no case to talk. The tirofe'ssor on tlin in c 1 contrary, seemed perfetlv cool and at ease at he said notlnn r more for sfvrni nntil, like a trhost swcwilnff nii il.k er to O --- jj -v. iV "UHI- of no land, a saU swejt by ns tackin tho south. Then he shouted r.,l t joined him iri the cry.

SI cannot tell you what an agony of conflicting emotions I endured 1 won't try. I only know that before the bottom of the basket spattered tho water, which it finally did, I had ffrovn ten vears' older. -'"". That first contact with a wave came near ending my share in J the adventure. It tipped the car,-and the balloon rising with the relief, righted again with a jerk that came very near pitching me head fore most overboard. I tightened my crip just in time, bnt found myself swnng'oiitsi'de of the ropes ,and clung perilousl y with m v face turned inward as another wave struck ns then another and then the floor of the basket of the balloon remained. in the wa ter, and the balloon, still he irig the breeze careened over, and began to drag ns with frightful velocity through the "tumbling billows, 5 I clung to the ropes for dear .y and tried to climb along them towards the bag, bnt the professor was ahead of me, andashe climbed be Culled oe.f: "Hale, one of us can get To Canada, and the other must fced the fish. I've o-ot a family, and I am going to Canada."" " I felt that it was my death sentence and w-hen thi next instant I saw the flash of his blade around the ring above the can and saw the same baleful Jight iw his eves that I had seen before, I knew inv time had come. Nevertheless I made n" fierce struggle and leaped toward him, in the hope that I might clutch the ring or some of the upper rigging; bnt in the m'otnent loon, -with lvnne'in the-riggings hisshininn knife between his teeth, shot upwards like the rising flight of some irreatbint or mon" stcr struggling with the waves. I sank, but only for a few seconds. I had always been a stout swimmer and I struck out to keep. myself afloat as lony as I could. It. was a-grnesome prospect there, in the middle of' --Ontario, a mite of humanity in an infinity of water. could only hope to keep alive a few bonrs at long est, hut I meant to tight it to the end. Tliese things rushed across my mind like a flash, while I was yet under the surface. The very fust stroke I made my heel struck something. I turned and. saw the basket, bottom up, within three f-et of me. To myjoy I discoveivd that while it was made of willow it was . waterproof, and havin" capsized suddenly, was in condition to be used as a buoy, so I used it. That vasa boig and weary wait for niorninr, but the sun blazed out of the east at last and then I wished it hadn't foruhe lisrhti was blinding. I looked in vain for land. E vi dently I had been dropped in the. 'middle of the lake, and must take iny chance of being picked up by some passing" craft be fore i.ight. Failing that I knew I must 'lie. But after a morning that seemed a. year, my aching eyes were suddenly bright ened by-the sight of a steamer "plowing straight towards me. I thought she never would reach me, but in about an hour's tune she did, and came very near passin" me by: unnoticed. I was" nearly half a mile from, her course, but she pnt about, and a line was thrown to me, and in five minutes I lay fainting on the cabin floor. It was the Bteampr Corintliiani hotind from Port Hope to Rochester, Upon her daily trip, and if the professor hadn't drop ped me when and where he did, 1 wouldn't be telling you this story to-dayJ Killed for Disobeying Okdeks. A conyict in the Wisconsin State prison refused to go to his cell when ordered bv the warden to do so. The warden held a watch in ouo hand and a pistol in th eith er, and said : "I will give you three min utes to obey,'aud if -you don't -"I' shall shoot yon" The convict doggedly folded his arms and stood still. Minute after minute passed, the warden counting them aloud. This was in the workshop and all the. prisoners were spectators of the scene. When the three minutes had expired tho wardeij took deliberate aim at the con-, vict's heart and said; 1 "I'll give yon two minutes more, and I swear I'll kill yon then if you don't go to your cell." A de fia nt curse, was the only reply. At the end of the two minntes the pistol was fired and the -convict- fell dead. The offi cer is sustained by the higher prison au thorities who say that his course was per fectly proper under the circumstances; bnt the district attorney, of the county will try him under an indictment for murder. An aged Christian, with the snow of time on his, Ijead, may remind us that those points on earth are whitest which are nearest Heaven. The perfection of conversation is not to play a regular sonata, but like the yEclian harp, to await the inspiratjon of tho pass ing breeze. ' HELIGION INCOMMON LIFE.

But, remember that what vou give most be or the honor of the Lord, and no"i a an invest ment for lf. A minister in this Siale was once representing some bedevolent cause, and he urged the people to contribute, because the Lord woTihl pay baok, "good measure, pressed down, running over;" and one man, who owued a mill, concluded that if the Lord would lmy back four-fold it would be a good way for him to get lich; and al though he had not been giving anything before, he t n vested five dollars in the cause. That very night a storm came up; the rain descended, his mill-dam broke, an. 1 his mill house was washed away; and he said the preaeher did not tell him the truth. That man had not honored the Lord; he had not thought of. the glory of the Lord in his giving; there was no honoring the Lord with his substance, but making an investment for him self. Let ns pray. IlYMN 84, (supplement.) S Ell 31 Q. Pnov. in: 6. "In all thy wavs acknowledge Him mid He shall direct thy" path's." There is an idea in the world that reli gion is only a saviour from hell. It is a common belief that Jesus Christ came into the world to save men from eternal tor ment; .and the majority of mankind Uveas if the only end of religion was to prepare them for the dying hour, to fit them for the judgment-seat of Christ, and to enable them to escape "the lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone." The Bible nowhere tenches such doctrine. Jesus of Nazareth was Called "Jesus" "because he vyas to save his people from their sins." No man living in sin. nnd loving- sin, can therefore claim to be a saved man. No matter how delightful may have been his feelings during a protracted meeting, nor how marvellous his so-calKd rxdig-ious ex perience; no matter how full of terrors he may have been as l.e thought or the judg ment and the final doom of the wicked, unless the religion which he professes has been to him a saviour from sin his religion is vain, and is not the religion which Jesus Christ came into the world, to teach. The religion of Jesus Christ, too, is an tagonistic to the. philosophy of the world; His vays are not as our "ways; "Aj, tho heavens are higher than the earth, so are God's ways higher than man's wavs; and if we be the children of the Lon't Jesus Christ wc are commanded to make our ways conform to his ways. If' we" be possessors of the religion of t ho Smi. lures,, we will endeavor to conform all our ways to his teachings. "In all thu icays acKnavlelgo him; and he shall di rect thy paths," is the promise of Almighty God. We should acknowledge lliui in all our business: in all our nb'.'isnrs- b all our trials and in all out troubles, if we THURSDAY, JANUARY fTTm, t .1 l, TT f l.'.l' . .1 .1 '!' nnvw iiitu 10 imtvi onr patus through this life not in a pari of them, bnt in all of them; not merely in our rejlar worship on the Lord's day, bnt in all our work.du ring the' whole of tho Lord's week; not in onr relations to the c'uiircli alone; but in our relations oVar fdliw-ineh.

An accident occurs in the - community. There is a runaway in the street; a horte dashes against tho pavement, and the rider is thrown ont. His Fknll is broken; nnd when he is picked np for dead, men fl.ck around Lira and tuoralizo abont the nuccr tainty of life. Ono dies suddenly in bis sins. Men who never torn onttoehnrch except at a funeral or a wedding, arc there now. They follow hitn to the gravo and turn nwny with Fomc qnotation from scrip ture as 'In the midst of life, we are in dentli,". an cheat Themselves witlrthe ncanbatntrpynraro--eTiCv in trt igtong conversation. A steamer wrecked; ftenres of lives arc lost; the telegraph Fends the news nil over the land; and the man with the morn ing paper in Iris hand reads of the catas trophe nnd tells his children "how uncer tain is life." Perhaps he quotes some scriptnre too, a?, "There U but n step be twixt me and death," and thinks th at is religions conversation. Ah, friends! it is no more religions conversation than the "O Ivords!" and tho "Amens" that we fre quently hear from the months of indolent church-members who pay their preacher and serve their Master in ronn, while they keep to themselves the substance with which they should honor the Lord, and withhold their first-fruits which thev should givo to God. It takes A IlEAltT ALT. A GLOW with the love of Christ to talk of Christ; it takes a man filled with the truth of God to engage in profitable religious conversa tion. Moralizing abont death talking of the uncertainty of life is not goin to reach the hardened sinner aud lead him to the Saviour; bnt if you go to him, and in your conversation, show him sonn-thiii"- ot the Christian life let him know thaf re ligion has in .it enjoyments, which the world does not, and takes with it richca which the world cannot give, impress upon him the idea, that there is alnrnt von, that which he sees not in the man of the' world; and yon can but interest and im prove him. The tongneless expressions of gratitude to God he beholds in vour beaming face, would lead him to feel his sinfulness and condemn his conduct. Tnr.EE LIVELY CHKLTIAXS.
