UP IX A BALLOON. BY REV. SEO. II. UEPWOllTir. How curious it is that whenever there is one great show, a dozen little dries cuddle close to it. In Boston tho huge Coliseum stretched itself like a giant on the New Land, and for squares around smaller and larger booths preempted a favorable location, where nostrums and novelties were dispensed to those who were not yet bankrupt. Monstrosities gratify the morbid taste, aid fascinating sticks of candy allure the appetites and deplete the pockets of the younglings. Having arrived at years of discretion, I passed by on the other side, and was walking leisurely homeward, when my attention was arrested by a mysterious inclosure, in the centre of which swayed to and fro a magnificent balloon, which made regular half-hour trips to a point juBt a quarter of a mile abeve the solid earth. Then I hesitated. To go up in a balloon was the one great desire of my boyhood. I had done almost every thing else, and this last experience would round my life exquisitely. When I was quite young I was kicked over a five-rail fence by a wild colt, who re turned my caresses with a very impres sive pair of heels. I have several times been almost blown to pieces with gun pswder, that never-failing fascination to every one in his teens. I have aimed a rifle at a woodchuck, and missing him Bent the ball within three inches of a man's head. I have been on the water in a small sail-boat, and been tipped over. In a word, I have done a thou sand delightful things, all of which gave my father and mother sleepless nights, and made them feel that I was sure to die an untimely death. But here was a chance to add a new experience to my life ; and, as I saw the immense Castle in the Air swaying to and fro, all my boyishness came back, and, in less time than it takes to tell it, I was inside the inclosare, and in a few minutes more in the car of the balloon with Professor Allen, the accomplished tpronaut. The signal was given, and we. began to rise. When we were about a hun dred feet up I would have given all I posssssed to be safely on the earth again. Instinctively I clutched the ropes, but it did no good, for ropes and everything else were all going up together. Pretty soon I grew more courageous, and then thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was very cloudy, but I trot a ermrl the whole city. The tops of the houses were tar Deiow me, ana the church steeples seemed slender as reeds. Just tuen the Jfrotessor engaged my atten tion with some of his exploits, and when next I looked I could see nothing. We were in the mirlHln nf ,ini D.i v man, the houses, the city, were wholly hidden from view. We were out. of sight ot land. " How far tin fir A WO rtrr.fu.an V" "Only about a quarter of a mile," he winwereu. A Quarter nf a. iniia atmi.rlie ,m I What if the balloon should bursfthrough its utumga i n wnat snaps sbould 1 appear after dropninir twelve hundred feot or more? This pleasant thought would intrude itself. Only twelve hun- uieu vertical ieei ; wen, tnat is not very much, and yet if I should fall, I think the coroner's jury would have no diffi culty iu discovering the cause of mv death. ' It was a very queer experience. I looked up ; nothing to be seen. I look ed round ; nothing to be seen. I looked down ; nothing to be seen. I seemed to myself to be as near nowhere as I hope ever to get. The mist drifted by me in a friendly sort of way, as if to reassure me, and as though it wanted to say! My dear fellow, the Almighty is up here iust as Ha in down tL v clouds roll, and surge, and dash our irague spray in obedience to the same Will that governs the more solid ooean. The Hand that holda vm, in ;t tmiin when you walk the earth, is underneath you when you have the clouds for your companions. Bo by degrees I grew accustomed to ray new position, and sat quietly en joying not the scenery, but the situa tion, while the Professor told me of his exploits in Paraguay in the service of the army, and of his more recent ex periences as an reroaaut under the com mand of ynion generals. Away up be yond the reach of hostile bullets, glass and note-book in hand, he used to watch the movements of the enemy. How provoking it must have been to see a little black object among the cloud, and know that at every dress parade a pair of shavp eyes were looking through a powerful telescope, while a "chiel takin' notes " would report to the enemy what not even the most daring spy or sharpshooter could discover. Well, after awhile, desiring to see the face of mortals once more, I indicated my desire to return to the planet Slow ly we descended, and, just as on board vessel you find your way through1 the fog until the headland, which at first seemed only a ghost, assumes tangible and familiar shape, so I watched, the steeples and tops of houses came into view far below me, and in five minutes more I jumped out of the baskot, and wm conscious of a certain sense of relief when I felt good m.ofhpr earth under my feet. My friend Laughton gave mo a tick et, certifying to tho fact of my exploit, assuring my frionds that for tho lost thirty minutes I had been far above the planet, and I rushed home. I had no sooner told my story at the table than my plucky little wife said : " Well, if you can go up in a balloon, so can I." " You ! Up in a balloon f " My eyes were wide open, " Tes, I, and up in a balleon I Why not t After dinner I shall take a trip to the moon, or as near to that very re spectable orb as I can got." I supposed that she would regard mo as a fit subject for a lunatic asylum whon I told what I had done, but I found she only envied me my exalted position, and determined to go as much higher as circumstances would permit. Such is life, and such is woman. , I tried to reason with her, but who ever got the better '3f his wife in an argument ? She had two reasons for to every one against. " If sho will she will, you may depend on't t If she wont sh won't, and there i the end on'U" These two lines are the battle cry of freedom with the other sex, so I sub mitted with as good grace as I could extomporarily master. When we reched the roadstead where the Castle in the Air was anchored the sun broke through the clouds, and we were assured by the professor that we should have a splendid view. After climbing into the car, and taking our seats, the signal was given, and slowly we began to leave the earth. This time there were two persons who clutched at the ropes, and our pulses ran up from the normal seventy-two into the nineties. There were the houses far below pre senting their roofs and their chimneys to break our fall in cose of aecident. Tho sad thought was that we should have to drop more than five hundred feet in a straight line before wo could even land on a chimney. We did not seem to be going away from the earth, but the earth appeared to be dropping away from us. The elegant carriages of Columbus Avenue looked small enough to hang on one's watch-chain for charms, and as for the human beings, the effect of our elevation was very peculiar. We saw them, ot course, greatly shortened. They seemed to be not more than a foot or eighteen inches 'long. . But when they walked we could see the full length of the stride. It was a very curious Bight men only a foot long, taking steps three feet in length. The old seven-league boots seemed no longer a mytn. Pretty soon I caught the professor emptying a huge sand-bag. " What for, Bir '(" I said. " To go up higher," he answered. I looked at the little woman who sat beside me, and said : " Higher " A nod in tho affirmative. There's pluck, I said iu my heart, and in half-a-minute we could look down on the entire city, and far out into the bay beyond the lower light, and upon Brookline, Dorchester, Charlestown, and, indeed, upon such a view that one could hardly speak ; so impressed was he with the the magnificence of the great picture that lay far, far beneath him. To say that we enjoyed it, after the terpidation was over, is to speak in fpt ble language. Who would not enjoy sitting in the lap of a friendly cloud and looking down upon miles on miles of green pasture and throbbing city j But all excitement must end, bo we took an affectionate farewell of tho up per air, and of the mists that brushed us, and soon stepped again upon the planet, glad to have been for once " up above the world so high." The Coming Woman. If the destiny of the coming woman is to be one of business activity and equal ity with man, in tho question of earning a living and amassing wealth, she must have a better foundation for a constitu tion than eighteen-inch corsets and thin-soled shoes will give. She must rise up early in the morn ing, and run and skip in tho sun and wind, and not be restrained by a vain mother, who is afraid her little girl will spoil her complexion. She must play ba'L fly a kite, ulav tae and run races with tho boys, regardless of the admonitions of old-fashioned aunts, not to be a " Tomboy." She must learn to be useful in early life, and, yes, sometimes, in a very se cluded corner of the house, she may play doll, if she does not tell anybody ! At the age of ten years she must go to school with her brothers, and learn to cipher with the best of them. She must enter college with as fair a record as her brothers have, and not tar nish the bright prospects of her future Dy taiiure iu any of the most diihcult branches of education taken up in the course. Corsets she must ignore, and practice in the gymnasium will preclude the possibility of a taper waist. She must put away the vauities which make up the sum of many women's lives, and substitute hard, practical common sense. She must strive to please by wit ana intellectual conversation more than by a simpering smile and hon mots of fascinating nothingness. She must be willing to work rather than live in luxurious ease. In short, lite will become an earnest fight as much to her as to men. How many are there wno line tne picture f The Use of Earthquakes. The usefulness of earthquakes was a favorite Bubiect with the late Sir John Herschel. Were it not for the changes in the earth's crust which are constantly being affected by the action of subter ranean forces, of which the earthquake is the most active manifestation, there can be no doubt that the action of the sea beating upon the land, together with the denuding power of rain, inevitably cover the entirv earth with one vast ocean. " nad the primeval world been constructed as it now exists," says Sir John Herschel, " time enough has elans ed, and force enough directed to that end has been in activity, to have long ago aestroyea every vestige ot land. Mr, Proctor shows most clearly the bpnefici- ent manner in whijh the restorative ac tion of the earth's subterranean forces is arranged. Of course every upheaval of the surface must bo accompanied or tal lowed by a depression elsewhere. . " On a comparison of the various ef fects, it has been found that the forces of usheaval act on the whole more now. erfully under continents, while the forces of depression act most powerfully, (on tne whole) under tne bea ot tne ocean It seems as if nature had provided against the inroads of the ocean by seating the earth's upheaving forces just where they are most wanted. AGRICULTURAL. The Boston Cultivator notices the ar rival in that citj of June and July fac tory cheese, from Hebron, McHenry county, Illinois, in fine condition "and good quality, as tasted. The sweet corn canninrr factory at South Paris, Maine, has this year 200 acres planted with sweet corn. The proprietors expect to tut no 250,000 cans this season, against 80,000 last year. The ITaywood fCal.) Advocate savs: "John Mingcs, near Grayson, in the San Joaquin valley, will send to market from his ranch, this year four thousand tons of wheat. This is over 133,000 bushels, and enough to keep a mill run ning for a year, and making one - hun dred barrels of flour per day."' Such statements as this suggest the inquiry whether there is -not too much farming done, and whether it would not be policy for agriculturists to initiate manufacturers in guaging production by consumption and demand. The English agricultural Darters are lamenting over the almost entire failure of the fruit crop in that country. It is stated that the crop of apples, pears, and even the smaller fruit?, is the small est ever known there. The cause is at tributed to the severe weather in March and April, which is believed t have in jured the trees and fruit buds. There were heavy frosts later in the season, which destroyed the blossoms on trees that had escaped the winter. This pre sents a remarkable contrast with the fruit crop in the United States, which is one of unusual abundance. Oil-Meal for Cows and Calves IX Summer. The following, which we find in an exchange, accords so fully with our own idea that we cannot with hola ov.r endorsement. Our experience has convinced us that two quarts of cotton seed oil cake meal fed daily to a cow, on grass, will increase the flow of milk one quart. Try it : " hen cows are m prom., a little extra feed in the shape of oil-meal will be amply repaid in the yield of milk and butter. It must not be supposed that because a cow is on pasture there is no longer need for stimulating food. Tho fact is, that with an ample supply of grass, the appetite of the cow for meal is quite as vigorous as during the win ter, when she was fed on hay. 'Cows may be very profitably fed with a quart each of oil-meal morning and night. They will lick it up from a trough, if it is made sufficiently large, without waste. When cows are not tied up at night, a good plan of feeding them is to have a square box for each cow, large enough for her to put her nose in easily, and six inches deep. Put the allowance of meal in these boxes. They may be scattered about the yard, at such a dis tance as will give each animal an oppor tunity to eat without beingdriven away by others. Calves will soon show, iu their improved appearance and hastened growth, that oil-meal is good for them also. A small handful givuu them in their pasture daily will push them for ward rapidly. It is well to use a small tin pan to feed them with, and a few minutes spent with this young stock daily is not only an agreeable occupation, but highly profitable ; for the more regularly the owners attention is given to his cattle, the sooner he will perceive anything wrong, and be able at once to remedy it ; and a daily visit is seldom made unless there is some express pur pose in it. Let the purpose then be to give them a little extra feed, and a double benefit will result." How the Large Pears are Raised. Mr. O. F. B. Leighton, of Norfolk, Va., has produced some of the largest pears ever grown in this country. In a late interview with this gentleman he told us that he has now in bearing six thousand trees, the most of them being Bartletts, Louise Bonne do Jersey, and Seckel. The soil upon which they are grown is a stiff, blue clay, overlaying sand to the depth of three or four feet. In planting out pear trees, Mr. Leighton digs a hole in the ' clay some two or three feet deep, and sufficiently wide for the roots to ramify, and then bores a hole with a post augur through to the sand. This augur hole and a small por tion of the excavation is filled with sticks (cut brush) ; this forms a complete underdrain. A soil to set the roots of the trees in is composed of tide-washed muck, which is brackish, shell-lime, and the surface or alluvial earth. The trees grow with wondrous rapidity and pro duce such fruit as has astonished fruit growers everywhere. First premiums have been taken far and near at. the largest horticultural shows. Duchess d'Angouleme were shipped to New York last season from Mr. Leighton' s orchard weighing over thirty ounces, or about two pounds forty-eight pears on an average making a bushel. This fruit brought 1 12 per bushel, just twenty-five cents apiece for the pears. They re-' tailed at fifty cents each upon Broadway. Mr. Leighton much prefers the stand ard to the dwarfs, and plants his trees twenty-five feet apart each way. In a portion of his orchard he has dwarfs between the rows, but does not allow them to remaim long enough to inter fern with the full development of the staiuUr -Is. Decomposed bone is used to revive the standards when they appear to be falling into a decline, and works to perfection. Tho bones are broken up into small pieces and put into boxes or barrels, with alternate layers of wood ashes, and kept moist until they are thoroughly decomposed. HorticulturUt. Robinson Crusoe's Island. Frof. Agassiz gives an interesting account of the Island of Juan Fernandez at the present day. It is inhabited by some twelve persons, including children. They have good poultry and vegetables, splen did beef, and can get goats by climbing after them, for the wild goats are still numerous there, and flocks of hundreds of them may be seen upon the mountains. The island is about ten or twelve miles long by four in breadth ; the shores mostly precipitous, and the mountain ridges three thousand .feet in height. The water around the island is deep, and the whole appearance is as if there had once been au extensive island with a splendid rugged chain upon . it ; that suddenly the bottom kad been knocked from under all except this patch of ten miles by four, and all but this patch had sunk into the sea. Valleys and moun tain spurs and gentle slopes are all cut off by this precipitous edge, and there are but few places on the island where a landing can be effected. At the recent meeting of the Scientific Association in Dubuque, Iowa, a lady was the first to present and read a paper. It was suggestive and logical. Progress In Jnpnn. If any one doubts the astonishing re vival among the Japanese in the direc tion of aocepting tho conditions of West ern civilization, let him be convinced by the fact that on the 12th day of last June, the first Japanese railway was opened between Yokohama and Sinaga wa. The scene, as the first train moved smoothly put of the Yokohama station, must havo been picturesque in the ex treme. Englishmen worked the engine, and managed the train as conductors j but the freight was made np of Venturous natives, who grinned from every win dow on the gaping crowd of thoir swar thy, squaro-fticed countrymen, assembled in multitudes to witness the marvel. Among the passengers were daimiosand high officials ; indeed, his excellency the prime-minister had intended to mark the event by making the perilous jaunt in person, but, being delayed by affairs of state, was unceremoniously loft be hind. The shrill whistle made the Ja panese gazers laugh, while the rattle of the wheels and the puffing of the engine rather staggered their equanimity. The cars were, after the fashion of English " carriages," divided into compartments of first, second, and third class ; so, while the English are gravely considering the expediency of changing their system for the American, the Japanese must as yet be content with the confessedly inferior English method. The Japaneso road has a narrow gaugo, and it is said that the construction of the line which is but a brief one was less costly per mile than tho English railways were. Where a railway has been successfully laid down and put in operation in a country hitherto ignorant of such a blossing, it of necessity carries with it almost every material element of modern civilization. The self-demonstrated success of the first lino gives a start to many others; pres ently, the Oriental Britain, as Japan, by reason of its insular position and con tiguity to the continent, has been called, will be crossed and recrossed by rail ways ; and, as the Japanese are a deft and skilful people, manufactures and commerce will grow rapidly along the lines. Telegraph-lines there are already between Yokohama, Sinagawa, and Yed do, and the Japanese have been very busy of late constructing arsenals and building a navy and merchant marine. This vast chango from the state of flings described even by recent travel lers, is perhaps partly d e to the concen tration of power, ecclesiastical and po litical, in the hands of a single ruler, in stead of its division into the priestly sovereignty of the mikado, the secular sovereignty of the tycoon, and the feudal-like local sovereignty of the various daimios, or grandees. These are now all centred in the hands of the mikado, who compelled the tycoon to abdicate, and pensioned off the daimios in compensa tion for the loss of their political power. Woman's Work. The daily routine of inevitable work which falls upon the wifo who would keep home comfortable aud pleasant is so tedious and wearying to most women that it is a cruelty and folly to demand any more from them. " Man's work is from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done," is one of those true old sayings which demonstrates itself to ev ery observer. Where human beings live dirt accumulates with amazing rapidity; dirt that enemy of comfort, breeder of unmentionable insects, generator of pes tilence and death needs to be constant ly purged with broom and duster, with soap, and hot water, with scrubbings, and Bcourings, and washings, until the woman is disgusted with tho petty cares and toils, the weary steps and frequent distractions of house-keeping, and is not to be blamed if she longs for more agree able, less monotonous and better paid employment. But what shall she do ' Is there any trade or employment under the sun that is not monotonous i Does not every man who works, from the preacher to the street-sweeper, need to do the same thing day alter any, until facility ana ease in doing them is acquired ; and when he has reached this point, does he not need to continue doing the same thins every day, that he may earn a living by his work? This constant and unvarying repetition is very worrying to woman, because of her extreme nervous suscep tibility ; ber nature demands variety and frequent change. The records of insane asylums show that too much monstony of work cr thought is a frequent cause of insanity in woman. There is certainly no profession which gives such variety of occupation, and is so capable of being made by a woman ot taste and cultiva tion agreeable and pleasant employment, as the profession of housekeeping. The poorest woman may benefit society by faithfully doing her duty here and the richest ah ! there is scarcely a limit to ner possibilities. !
