THE BABES IH THE CLOUDS. An American True Story.

Just ten years ago there suddenly burst Pon the western world a magnificent - "- stranger from foreign parts, with all his travelling glories on. It was the great comet of 1358, on the grand tour of the j UQIVCI'SC. It seemed strange that petty human life could go on as usual with its eating and drinking, toiling, trafiuing and pleasuring, while that flaming minister, on his billion leagued circuit, was preaching the wonders of infinite imnieusity and power, and the nothingness of earth. The comet no longer HUM his kindling race, like Vick B ' I Alpine a henchman, with Ins liery cross announcing war and disaster. Under the tail of this particular comet doubtless many a talc of loVC Was told in the ilgllt Ol lllS SWltt SrleHUOT maOV tender look exchanged. The astronomer coolly swept the starry field with his glass, uuawed by the irregular night guard patrolling the heavens, aud the robber aud murderer disdained the awful witness He left us as he found us, joined to our idols, wise iu our own couceit, weak and worldly, and wicked, but not castaways of the universe after all. We remember that comet summer, not

so much for its great astronomical event, Ihcr," and then that quaint little supas for two singular incidents that more I plcmcntary praycr ;

nearly touched our human sympathies which will grovel in poor earthly affairs, even within sight of the most august cclestial phenemcBa. Ooe pleasant Saturday afternoon during the comet's appearance, an aeronaut, after a pleastnl and prosperous voyage, descended upon a farm in the neighborhood of a j large market town in one ot the western i . . . gtatea. He was soon surrounded by a cu- j rioM group ol' the f'nnily, and laberers, all j a.-king eager rjucstions about the voyage j n j , man. ire meat of the balloon Tha ! a,JU iiu.inciiuuiui 1111, uauuiiu. j. ua ewd h - trbot and a rop in Übe hand oi the scronaut, its car but a foot or! two above the ground, was swaving lazily i backward and forward in the evcuing ay It was a good deal out of wind, and was a sleepy an 1 innocent monster iu the eyes nf tlio furam alu i.-iili 1 ' I mission, led il up to his house, where, as t ' I he said, he could hitch it to the feuce But before he thus secured it, his children aged respectively ten, eight, and three, begged him to lift them into the big bask ;f. that they night sit on those pretty I red ensbiona. While the attention of the ;i-roiMut ras diverted by more eurious J question from anotheflfiirmer, this rash lather lifted Ins darlings one by one into the car, chubby little Johnny proved the ounce too much for the serial camel, and brought him to the ground j and then, liai a a I unluckily, not the baby, but t' e eldest , hope of the family was lilted out. The relief was too great for the monster. The volatile creature's spirits rose at once, lie jenen ine naiter out 01 the tanners Mnd I -.11.1 11. t n a m . and with a Wild bound mounted into the air. A'ain was the aeronaut's anchor. It caught for a moment in the fence, but it tore away and was off, dangling uselessly after the runaway balloon, which so swiftly and steadily rose that in a few minutes those two little white faces peering over the edge of the car grew indistinct, and those piteous cries "papa ! " " luaiiia!" grew fainter aud fainter iu the air. When distance and twilight mists had wallowed np voices and faces, aud nothing could be seen but the dark, cruel shape sailing triumphantly away with its body, like an nrial privateer, t,he poor father bank down helpless and speechless j but the mother, frantic with grief, still stretcheJ her anu towards the inexorable heavens, and called wildly up into the unanswerable void. The tcronaut strove to console the wretched parents with the assurance that the balloon would descend withiu thirty miles of the town, and that it might be well with the children provided it did not come down in the water or in deep wood'ji fo event of its descending in a favorable spot, it was thought the older child might step ont, leaving the younger in the balloon. Then it might again arise and continue its voyage. " Ah, no," replied the mother. " .ftmnin wntihl never stir frnm , I 1 I. . i 1 1 ft inu cir wiiuoui .jonnny iu bcr arms. The balloon pased directly over the market town, and the children, seeing , ay peol'lü ia tlie streets, stretched out ; ,hcir -n-i fip ut the villager1', though they saw the bright little heads, heard no call. Amazed at the strange apparition, tlioy might have thought the translated little creatures were small angel navigators, on some voyage of discovery, some cherubic venture of their own, as heading towards the rosy cloudlands and purple islands of sunsot splendor they sailed deeper and deeper into the west and faded away. Small company they had, poor little sky waifs. Something comforted them, and allayed their wild terrors somethiti" whispered to them that below tho night and clouds was horns ; that wherever they might drift or clash, living or dead, they would still be in His domain and uuder H 1 .t 11 111. . 1 Vi 1 1 ., f Ktll.r I ,i,vr,n nan....

ti e staffs, they could not bo lost, for His love would follow them. When the sunlight all went away, and the great comet came blazing out, little

Johnny was apprehensive that it might , conic too near their airy craft and set it on fire with a whisk of its fierv tail. Iut when his sister assured him that the fiery ! dragon was u as much as twenty miles away," and that Cod wouldn't let him hurt them, he was franquilized, but soon afterward.- said, M I wish he would come a little nearer, so I could warm myself, I'm so cold." Then Jennie took off her apron and wrapped it about the child, saying tenderly, l this is all sister has to make you warm, darling, but she'll hug you close in her Mms, and we will pay our prayers and you hall go to sleep." " Why, how can I say my prayers bef no I have my supper 1 " asked little Johnny. " Sister hasn't any supper for you, or fir herself, but wc mi'st pray all the harder," solcmn'y responded Jennie. So the two baby wanderers, alone in the wide heavens, unawed bv darkness, im mensity and silence, or by the presence of I w m the great cninnjÄnd the millions of unpitying stars, lifter! their little clasped hands and sobbed out their sorrowful " Our " Now T fuy me down to lecp. 1 prat tlx- l.rd bit nnltokeep : Iff ahnflld die before I wske.

At once the balloon began t() sinb .lowlvand gently, as thouch some celestial pilot guided it through the wild currents of air, not letting it drop into lake or river, lofty wood or impenetrable ivamn wi,orc this strange, nnehildlike experience might have been closed by a death of unspeakable horror ; but causing it to descend softly as a bird alights, on fl spot where humau care and pity awaited it. The sun had not yet risen, bu the morning twilight had conic, when the little girl, looking over the edge ot the car, saw the dear earth coming nearer rising towards them," she said. But when the car stopped, to her great disappointment , it was not on the ground but caught fast in the topmost branches of a tree. Yet she saw they were near a home whence help might come, so she awakened her little brother and told him the good news. And they waited for deliverance, hogging each other for joy and warmth, for they were cold. Farmer Burton, who lived ia a lonely house on the edge of his own private prai rie, was a famous sleeper iu general, but on this particular occasion he awoke before the dawn, aod, though lie turned and turned again, he could sleep no more. So at last he said to his good wife, whom he had kindly awaken to inform her of his unaccountable insomnolcncc, " It's no use, I'll jusi get up and dress myself, aud have a look at- the comet." The next that worthy woman heard from her wakeful spouse was a bastjf summons to the outer door. It seems that no sooner did he tep forth from his house than his eyes fell on a portentious shape hanging in a pear tree about twenty yards distant, lie could see no likenc-s iu it to anything earthly, and he half fancied it might I o the comet, who, having put out his light, had come down there to perch. In his fright and perplexity he did what every wise man would do iu a like extremity : he called upon his valiant wife. Jleinforccd by her lie drew near the tree, cautiously rccoanoitering. Surely never a pear tree bore such fruit. Suddenly there descended from the thing a plaintive, trembling little voice : " Planne take us dow from hero ; we are very cold' Then a second little voice said : " And hungry, too ; pleise take us down." " Why, who arc you '( And where are you ? " 'Xhc first little voice, said; yuJag

Mr. llarwood's little boy and girl, and wc are lost in a balloon." The second little voice. said: M It is us and we runned away with a balloon. Please

take us down. Dimly comprehending the situation, the farmer, getting hold of the dangling rope, succeeded in pulling down the balloon. He first lifted out little Johnny, who ran rapicly towards the house, be then turned around and stood a few moments j curiously surveying the balloon. The faithful sister was so chilled and exhausted that she had to be carrid into the boose, where, trembling and sobbing, she I told her wonderful story. Before sunrise a mounted mesrenger was sent to the Ilarwood home with glad tidings of great joy. He reached it in the afternoon, and in a few hours later the children themselves arrived in tate. with banners and music, and conveyed iu a covered hay wagon and four. Joy bells were rung iu the neighboring town, and iu the farmer's brown house the happiest family on the eontiucnt thanked God that niht Tlie JillotJ Lover. The Peoria Transcript tells the following story of a true love whose current ran unusually rough : Several years ago a yonng lady in Tazewell county was wooed by a young mau. He obtained her consent and the consent of the old folks, but three days before tho wedding she took a freak into her head and went off and married anothjcr. The young man was heart-broken, nod packed up his effects and vent to and packed up XeW York City. There he hid his grief, buried himself in business, and engage 1 in speculation ; was successful, and became wealthy. A younger sister of the girl that jüted him, moved by sympathy began a eorrespondence with inm to endeavor to mitigate his sorrow. The correspondence became interesting. The young girl grew up, and as years rolled on, ripened into a beauty. The sight of her photo graph awakened iu the young man's reast the love he supposed crushed forbis daughter was out ol the way, so he urged the match forward. The means of ihe lover cow admitted a brilliant wedding and preparations were made fur it. They were to be married last Wednesd ay in style, and depart immediately for Now York city. A few days ago the expectant bride received a letter fron her betrothed stating that he had eutered into a speculation that would heep him iu the city so that he could not possibly be with her at the time '.appointed, and asking her to delay tbe ceremony for a day or two. He also referred to the time when he had expected to be united to her sister. Provoked to think that he still remembered his former love, the young lady wrote him ia a passion, aud sitting down at the saaic time wrote to a cousin of hers, a farmer in Iowa, who had long loved her, telhug him that lie had broken her engagement, relating the circumstances to him, and ended by saying that eho was ready to be married, and if he would come aud be there at the time set for the wedding, she woeld uurry him. He com died Her betrothed in Xew York, astonished at receiving her letter, closed up his business as best he could, and came to Tazewell couuty on the next train, lie reached the little village where she lived, and was hastening up to the house to fulfill his engagement, when he was met by some of his friends aud told that his bride bad just, been married to another man. He fainted away on the spot, and was takeu to tiie hotel. When the bride was told of it she was overwhelmed with remorse, but it was too late. She was legally married to her cousin. Tho New Yorker, twice heart broken, left for his home without seeing her. She passed through this city yesterday on her way to an Iowa farm, looking very dejected, aud anything but like a bride.

These are day, en reute to Chicago, a lady whose j terms on which a great many people, in history is one of the most remarkable ever (both parties, have fallen into the habit of brought to public notice. It has been ; laying more importance than they ever dcwcll said that truth is stranger than fie- serve. tion, and the details of this lady's history fed are led by ideas all men, leaders abundantly verify the adage. For reasons, as well as othcis. Platforms are only which all will see the propriety of, wc useful to give formal expression to ideas ; withhold her name, merely relatiug the ! and oftener do injury than good in atfacts as they were commuuicatcd to our; tempting a solution of the problem, reporter by one who had heard her straugc j " How not to do it." As for leaders, true story from her own lips. they arc born, not made.

While she was yet a helpless but ideas. Having these it will not need infant, both her pat ents died, and she was for leaders ; it will not need to hire resent to the Foundling's Hume, where she cruit'n:g sergeants, or to send missionaries remained some time, when she was finally j to proselyte among the opposition ; to adopted by a lady and gentleman, who chauge its name or to employ new politithen resided in Elmira, X. Y. Of course 'cal carpenters to reword its platform, she knew nothing of her sailor brother and The philosophy of ideas is a good sub-

she grew up in the belief that she was really the child of her foster parents. At the age ol IS .she married an industrious young mechanic, and set out fjr the great west. After traveling in various states fi.nr- fiaatl i.(iUJ im MSaaai urhnro continued prosperous and happy until the

storm of war burst upon the country. I attaining the age of 25, while out or s simThen her husband, in common with the number of unmarried persons at the

thousands of his misguided countrymen, enlisted in the service of the rebellion, and was assigned to Gen, Price army, He served faithfully during the first eightflic nf tho war hat ma finally killed in one of the south western engagements. From the breaking out of the war, tho lady of whom we write had lust all trace of her foster parents, owing to the disturbed condition of that portion of the country in which she resided, and after her husband's death she removed to St Louis, where sho sought to maintain herself by sewing. Iu 'Y the again married, and her husband embarked in business in St. Louis. This last marriage was a thoroughly happy one, and in the course of time two children were born unto them. The husband gradually extended his business operations, so that much of his time was necessarily spent in traveling about the country, and during one of his busiucss tours he visited Chicago, where he became acquainted with a lady andgeutleman who by a fortunate chain of circumstances, he ascertained were the long lost foster parents of his wife. Delighted at the discovery he had made, and pleased, no doubt, with anticipations of the joyful surprise he should give his wife, the husban 1 at once concluded his business, with the iutcution of returning to St. Louis, and brioging her to Chicago, for the purpose of re uniting her with her friends, without firtt preparing cither party for such an event. Ou the night before his contemplated departure for home, while conversing with Mr. and Mrs. , it happened that he was led into a recital of his adventures about the world, aud before the narrative was finished his listeners knew that their adopted daughter had married her own brother, who, before sha was born, had sailed for East India. Horrified beyond expression, the wretched man fled from the house, and from that hour uo tidings of him have ever readied his friends. This was iu March last, and in a few weeks later the wretched sister wife was rendered comparatively poor, by the destruction of a large portion of the property left iu her hands, by fire. Although written to by her utrickcn friends, their letters aever resetter her, and a few weeks since started for Elmira, her early home. Upon her arrival there she learned the address of her foster-parents, with whom she at ouce communicated, giving them full details of her experience since she had first bade them farewell, upon setting out for her western home. Their answer to her letter contained a statement of the terrible discovery of the identity of her husband and brother, to "ether with an affectionate invitation to come to them with her children aud share their homo. Heartbroken, and nearly crazed by the strange denouement of her happy married life, the wretched woman hastened to accept the offer, and this m, truing will doubtless see her re united with her early friends.

Two hundred and sixty-three years ago an Englishman of good birth, (luy Fawkes by name, by profession a soldier, by birth aud conviction a Roman Catholic when to be a Roman Catholic iu England was to be something on an ayerage, but uot above the level of a quadraped conceived the idea of blowing up the house of parliament, with all the persecutors of his religion, sky high. lur other conspirators, Robert C"tesby, Sir Everard Digby, Mr. Ambrose Bookwood, aud Mr. Francis Tresbam, all members of old and aristocratic families were said to have been associated with (luy Eawkes in this plot ; the latter having but shortly beford returned from the Law Countries, where he had becu carrying a pike in the the renowned Spanish infantry- Fawkes failed to carry out his plot, owing to the fact that a 11 m iu Catholic peer who had been warned of the all'air, betrayed the conspiracy. Fawkes aud his tellow conspirators were executed, and since that time, it has been the fashion to commemorate the day iu Old England. Hat of late the fashion has fallou into disuse, and uow uo public celebratiou is ever attempted such as was known in the old days, when eütgies were carried through the streets and huug or burned iu tho open air. Jlut in New York City there is a considerable body of Irish Orangemen, perhaps 3, who oelobrata the 5th of November by drinking iu their own dwellings, confusion to the Pops aud Fenians, aud glory and immortal hooor to William tho Third, of pious memory.
