"'A Talo of Tw

Cities." Mr. Dickens himself eompli mented this work 111 the highest when he said Throughout its execu tion it has had complete pos.ses.sion of me I have so far verified what done and suffered in these pages, that have certainly done and sullored it all myself.

Sydney Carton was an able, but dissolute and debaiichod lawyer in Lou don, at the period of the Reign of Terror in Paris. He loved Lucy Manotte who married Charles I)arna\r, known in Paris as Evremonde. Before this marriage, Sydney Carton had found opportunity to tell her that, though unworthy of her, he would not cease to love her, and adds ,]

Kor vou, and for any dear to you, would do anv tiling. If my career were of that better kind' that tliero was any opportunity or capacity of sacrifice in it, I would embrace tiny sacrifice for vou and for those dear to you. Try to hold me in your mind, lit some quiet times, as ardent and sincere in this one thing. Tho time will come, tlie time will not be long in coming, when new ties will be formed about you—ties that will bind you yet more tenderly and strongly to tho home vou so adorn—the dearest" ties that will ever grace and gladden you. Oh, Miss Manette, when the littto picture of a happy father's face looks up in yours, when you seo your own bright" beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would jive his life to keep a life yon loved beside you

How nobly this promise was fulfilled appears in the last chapter, the scene of which is laid in Paris. Evremonde, between whom and Sydney Carton there was a striking resemblance, had been in prison a year. His wife, accompanied by Mr. Lorry, an old family friend, and Sydney Carton, had gone to Paris and exhausted every means of saving him. On tho morning of the day set for his execution, Sydney Carton gains access to his cell, drugs him, exchanges clothing and sends him under charge of the Spy to a point where a carriage containing tho wife of Evrein which they rapm.j

execution of the supposed Evreiu^ is described in tho last chapter of the book, under this head

A MAAT YANKED UP BY THE FEET AND CARRIED OFF Ji A BALLOON.

The balloon that goes with Do Haven's circus seems fated to give origin to startling incidents. To the list of adventures and accidents that have attended it, we add another thrilling scene at thifrplace, on the evening of the Kith inst. It was inflated in the presence of 1,500 people, tho wind blowing sharply from the east. The ajronauttook his position in the frail bark, the rope that held it to the earth was loosened, and sheering as it started, a sharp east wind blowing at the time, it caught a second party, who became entangled in the ropes, and rapidly ascended with the involuntary explorer hanging by the feet.

At the height of thirty feet the unwilling traveller succeeded in catching the horizontal rope near the bottom of the balloon with his hands, and thus supported jnounted to a height of 400 feet, and moved rapidly in a westerly direction.

The rapid cooling and condensation of heated air and gases that supported it, and the extra weight of a hundred and eightv pounds, caused it to descend almost as'last as it went up, landing the two passengers with a heavy concussion

The emotions of the man hanging by his feet and hands alone and moving rapidly through the air, at an elevation of four or five hundred feet, may be better imagined than described. It was the most thrilling scene we ever wi nessed, and we do not care to see the like again.

A LITTLE HEROINE.

The rare faculty of presence of mind was recently manifest in so extraordinary a degree by a little girl upon one of the lake steamers that it is worth recording. A Chicago lady, accompanied by her daughter, aged twelve years, were among the passengers on the last trip of the boat from Chicago to Buffalo and when a day or two out, the girl, in roaming around the vessels, found 1 er way into the kitchen, and remarked to the cook that she thought the stove smoked considerabh7, to which the cook replied that she was mistaken. Tho child had heard her mother say that she dreaded traveling on a boat, for fear of lire and with this in her mind, and taking another look at the place where the smoke seemed to come from, she discovered at itdid not issuofrom tho stove, (ioing

011

deck, she scovered

tho woodwork around tho smoke stack. 011 fire, and the flames just eating their way into tho cabin. Without giving any general alarm, sue went to tho steward and told him the boat was on fire. He informed the mate, who called the deck hands aft, and extinguished tho fire without one of the passengers being aware that anything of the kind had occurred. There were twenty two la dies sitting on deck in the bow of the boat, among them the mother of Annie, while this was going on. After the work had been done, Annie went to her mother and said, Don't be frightenned, mother the boat has been on fire, but it is all over now." The captain was so greatly pleased with the cool, calm, and quiet manner in which tho child performed her part, that lie refunded the passage money for both, and offered to take them back to Chicago free of charge. It was a brave act, to say the least, and had she screamed "Fire!" as most persons would have done, with so many ladies on board, tho consequences might have been of a very serious nature.

.1 MILL MOVED.

The London papers mention, as a novel experiment, not quite so sensational as the moving of an hotel at Chicago, but yet something quite out of the ordinary way, the removal of a wind flour-mill, with all its fittings, from Westacre to Clencliwarton, Norfolk, a distance of about sixteen miles.
