' The Uttle man being1' filled with gas, rose majes tically into the air, and was soon lost to view a&jong the clouds. His adventures, which became known the next day, were curious. Thanks to a strong and favoring gale, which' impelled him o'n his course, the little-balloon ; man arrived the same evening in. site of a fine country house. ; It was near, the hour of dinner, and the lady of the mansion, who naturally thought herself perfectly safe, was occupied with the mysteries of" her toilet, It was a warm day, and she opened one f the windows that looked out upon the park and was safe from any prying eyes. While tranquilly engaged, by the assistance of a corset-lacing, in reducing her waist to a size and shape that would refleet credit upon her husband's taste, she was suddenly startled by a blast of wind, followed by a strange noise, and immediately the casement was thrown open, and our little balloon man en tered her chamber unannounced. The lady utters a cry of terror, and throws a shawl over her shoulders. The little man, driven by the wind, throws himself upon the, un happy .woman, who, screaming louder than ever, pushes him off, and he-conceals him self under the feed. : Just as the wife, in the supplicating voice, 4 says tathisr novel Don Juan r f Ah- Mon sieurt go -at way or you .will ruin me V , the husband Curiously .rushes in, crying: "Ah the wretch; 1 have him now!" and goes i: sareh of his sword to run him through th Ah, in body.
