Yet he seemed to feel that he was among friends, and his honest face, and his uuassuming bearing, his straight forward, friendly manner, and the cor dial pressure of his hand, made a friend even of the stranger who was for tbe first time introduced to him. He stood there s^yene, smiling to the children who were running about and tumbling in the grass in unrestrained liberty. He spoke of the pleasure they gave him. It was truly a republican scene—one of those we would fain sec more often oh earth—where nil distance between men, nil difference of rank and fortune are done away with, and life is again an Idyl full of innocence and beauty in llic lap of great nature.

The local journals say that the town was completely deserted, and that the adjacent villages sent their contingents. When Mr. Gale was seen to ascend rapidly into the air, seated on his pony, with the bridle in one hand and saluting the public with the other, there was a sort of a shudder or fear in tbe vast gathering. I he pony was perfectly calm, with bis legs hanging and his neck bent; but he made no movement. The descent of Mr. Gale, which took place at a short distance from Bordeaux, proved fatal to him,.

But even there, although her fortune was ample, she had very few of those luxuries, for which women now-a-days waste exorbitant sums, and barter away the precious gilt of health. Mrs. Washington was an economist. She was itotabove aitendingto the minor matters connected with household du ties, and performing them too with her own hands. Ladies, now-a-days, are so oppressed with the ennui, that they lounge in bed, while away time, till near ly noon ; never look at domestics, un less to reprimand ^ them, and as to looking after^l^cm, that is entirely out pied wilnWlress, and fashionable calls attend to things so menial. But Mrs.' Washington seldom allow ed the sun to rise before her, attired her self simply for the morning, gave direc tions to her servants, with reference to the disposition of their lime during the day, supervised the quantity of food which was likely to be consumed, and superintended at its cooking herself. Her life was eminently a Christian, and a useful one, while the lives of very many ladies of the present day are merely fashionable.

The ascent of the balloon was then checked, and it was thought, in consequence, at Bordeaux, that he had succeeded in climbing up into the ear.
