The balloon (for such no doubt it was) 'la'l nW descended to Within", a hllll dred feet of the earth, allowing the crowd below nsufllciently distinct view of tlio person of its occupant.

The body of tho Ilttlo man was moro than proportional ly broad, giving to his cntiro flguro a rotundity highly absurd. Ills feet, of courso, could not bo seen at all. Ills hands wero enormously large. Ills hair was gray, and collected into n queue bo hind. His nose was prodigiously long crooked and inflammatory; his eycsfull brilliant, niid acute; his chin and checks although wrinkled with age, wero broad puffy, nnd double ; but of ears of any kind there was not a scmblanco to bo discovered upon any portion of his head.

It Is not to be supposed, how ever, that theg geat Underduk sull'ered this Impertlneuco on tho part of tho Ilt tlo old man to pass off with impunity.

Your Excellencies may perhaps bo abloto remember an liumblonrtizan,by niuno Hans Pfaalt, and by occupation a mender of bellows, who, with threo others, disappeared from Rotterdam, about live years ago, in a manner which must have been considered uiiaccouiit able. If, however, It so please your Ex. collencles, I, tho writer of this commu nication, iiiii tho Identical Hans Pfaall himself. It Is well known to most of my fellow-citizens, that for tho period of forty years T continued to occupy tho ilttlo squaro brick building, nt tho head of tho alley called Sauerkraut, In which I resided at tlio time of my disappear ance. My ancestors havo also resided therein tlmo out of mind they, ns well as myself, Bteadily following tho res pectable and Indeed lucrative- profes sion of mending of bellows: for,to speak the truth, until of lute years, that the heads of nil tho people havo been set agog with politics, no better business than my own could an honest citizen of Rotterdam cither deslro or deserve. Credit was good, employment wns nov er wanting, nnd there was no lack of cither money or good will. But us I was saying, wo soon began to feel the effects of liberty, nnd loiigspc(cbes,nnd radicalism, and all that sort of thing. People who weio formerly t!;e very best customers in the world, hail now not u moment of time to think of us at all. They had as much as they could do to read about tho revolutions, and keep up with the march of Intellect nnd the spirit of the age. If a Uro wanted fun nlug, it could readily bo fanned with a nowspaperjand as thogoverninentgrew weaker, I havo no doubt that leather and iron acquired durability in pro poition for, in a very short tlme,thcre was not a pair of bellows iu all Rotter dam that ever stood iu need of a stitch or required the assistance of ahammar. This was a state of things not to bo en dured. I soon grew as poor as a rat. and, having a wife and children to pro vide for, my burdens at length becamo intolerable, and I spent hour after hour in reflecting upon tho most convenient method of putting an end to my life. jjuiis, in tno meantime, left me Ilttlo leisure for contemplation. Sty houso was literally besieged from morn ing till night. Thero wero threo fellows iu particular, who worried mo beyond endurance, keeping watch continually about my door, and threatening mo with tho law. Upon these threo I vow ed the bitterest revenge, If ever I should be so happy as to get them within my clutches ; antl I believe nothing In tho world but tho pleasure of this anticipa tion' prevented me from putting my plan ofbulcido Into immediate e.xecu tion, by blowing my brains out with u blunderbuss. I thought it best, how ever, to dissemble my wrath, and to treat them with promises and fair words, until, by some good turn of fate, an opportunity of vengeance should bo afforded me. Ono day, having given them tho slip, and feeling moro than usually dejected, I continued for a long tlmo to wander about tho most obscure streets without object, until at length I chanced to stumble against tho corner of a book seller's stall. Seeing u chair close at hand, for the usool customers, I threw myself doggedly Into it, and, hardly knowing why, opened tho pages of thu first volume which came within my reach. It proved to bo n small punipli lot treatise on Speculative Astronomy, written either by Professor Encko of Berlin, or by n Frenchman of some what similar name. Iliad somo little tincture of Information on matters of this nature, und soon became more nnd moro absorbed in tho contents of tho book reading it actually through twice befuro 1 awokoto a recollection cf what was pushing around me. By this time it began to grow dark, and I directed my steps toward home. But tho treat ise (in conjunction with a discovery in pneumatics, lately communicated tome a an Important secret, by a cousin from Nnntz,) mid mado an ludeliblo im pression on my mind, ai.d, ns I saun tered along tho dusky streets, I revolv ed carefully over hi my memory tho wild and sometimes unlutelllgibloreiis oniugs of the writer. Thero tiro somo particular pa-sstiges which affected my Imagination iu an extraordinary man ner. Tho longer 1 meditated upon theso tho moro Intcnso grew tho Interest which had been exciteil within me. Tlio limited nature of my education in gen eral, and moro especially my ignoranco on subjects counected with natural philosophy, so far from rendering me diffident of my own ability to compre hend what I had read, or Inducing mo to mistrust the many vaguo notions which had arisen in consequence, mere ly served nsn farther stimulus to Imagi nation; and I was vain enough, or per hups reasonable enough, to doubt whether those crude Ideas which, aris ing In ill-regulntcd minds, have till tho appearance, may not often In effect pos sess ull the force, tho reality, and other inherent properties of Instinct or intui tion.

Mr. Cogswell, who had an old and favorite servant by tho name of Ctiffee. As was often tho case, Cuffeo had as much liberty to do as ho pleased as any body In tho houso ; and ho probably entertained a high re spect for himself. On tho Sabbath, ho might havo been seen In the minister's pew, looking around with a grand air, aud, so far as appearance indicated, profiting quite as much by his master's preaching as many others about him. Cuffeo noticed, ono Sunday mornlug, that several gentleman wero taking notes of tlio sermon, and ho dotonnlncd to do tho samo thing. So, In tho after noon, ho brought a sheet ot payer nnd a pen and Ink. Tho minister happen ing to look Into his pew, could hardly malutntn his gravity, as he saw the ue gro "spread out" to his task, with ono side of his faco nearly touching his pa per, and ills tonguo thrust out of his mouth. Cuffeo kept at his notes, how over, until tho sermon wus concluded, knowing nothing and caring us Ilttlo about tho wonderment of his master. When tho minister reached home, ho sent for Cuireo to come to ills study. "Well, Cuffeo," said ho, "what wero you doing lu mcoting tills afternoon'.'" "Doing, massa? Taking nole3l" was his reply. "You taking notes?" exclaimed tho master. "Surtln, massa; nil tho gentlemen tnko notes." "Well, then, let mo nco them," said Mr. Cogswell. Cuffeo thereupon produced his sheet of paper; and his master found it scrawled all over with nil sorts of marks ami lines, as though a dozen spiders, dipped in Ink, had marched over it. "Why this Is all nonsense," said the minister, as ho looked nt tho notes." "Well, mnssa," Cuflio replied, " thought so all the time you teas preach ing." Dead Heads up a Tree.
