lowing account of her adventure, we copy
from the "Lehigh Valley Times:1
"She apeended rapidly to a great
heighth, in an easterly direction. Desir
ing to let off gas, to de-:cend, she found
the valve rope unmanageable, and in this
predicament she sailed on, still higher.
She had with her a long rod, to the end
of which she attached a knife, and suc
ceeded in cutting a hole into the Balloon,
but unexpectedly it tore so badly, that
almost instantly all the Gas had escaped,
and the Aeronaut, at an altitude of sev
eral miles, was left with nothing but a
mass of silk to depend upon, for a safe
royagc to terra Erica. She landed, how
ever, safely in New Jersey, about five
miles of Easton the empty balloon form
ing into a parachute. Her speed down-j
ward was probably nearly or quite a mile!
per minute and in a zig-zag motion. She
landed on he-r feet, without injury, but
probably under some mental excitement.

'Stop" and Think! V , .
Stop,. thou thoughtless, reckless man,
Trifling out Life's little span ;
God and Heaven of you demand, -
Stop and think.
Heaven above, and hell-below,.
Pleasure, pain, nnd joy, nnd woe,
Repeat the words in accents slow,
Stop and think.
Life's no time for idle dreams,
Life was lent for loftier nims,
Lend yotir mind to nobler themes,
Slop and think;
Life calls for thought of sternest hue,
Calls for thought and culls to you, '
To your souls best good ho true,
Stop and think.
Live not on without an aim,
Living thus you live in vain,
Do not liuitf God's love disdain,
Stop and think.
Think how thort Life's fleeting day;
Think, O think,, while now 3011 may,
De;tth soon will hury you away,
Stop and think.
Think wh.-it work you have to do,
Think what Chrit-t has done for you, .
So, your Savior calls anew,
Stop and thirik.
Else when life has pnEs'd away,
And 3'our love wasted its brief diy, j
Naught but this your grief will stay,
You would not think.
Or, when time with yc-u is o'er,
And yon have reach'd that distant shore
Whence mortal shall return no more,
Thought vi II i be in vain.
Hut if now you think aright
Soon you '11 reach those realms if light
Clouded ne'er by death or night,
Where thought is joy.
The late Storm.
On Sunday night the 21st ult
we were
visited uth one of the severest storms ol
wind and rain experienced for many years.
The fencing in many places were consid
erhly damaged, and one or two buildings
at Snydersville, in this County, were part
ly unroofed, Our exchanges arc full of
the disasters which it caused in various
sections.
We learn from the AHentown Demo

at the Allen House in that Borough wa
demolished and considerable injury don
to the house. Also that part of the walls
of Henry Bush's Hotel, a three story

Springfield, Bucks County, was unroofed
and otherwise seriously damaged.
At Belvidcre, the New Foundry wa?

The bridge across the Delaware, at
Dingman's, 2G miles above this place, was
blown off the piers into the river, and
completely smashed. Portions of it have
been seen floating down the river.
The Storm of Sunday night was very
sever along the seaboard from Halifax to
Baltimore, and extended for some dis
tance into the interior, doing considerable
damage to property, but wc do not hear
of any loss of life. In New York, awn
ings and some light buildings were blown
down. In Brooklyn, also the wind and
rain did some damage, and several small
i vessels were driven ashore in difmrrnt.
parts of the harbor.
At Long Branch the hull of the ship
Chauncey Jerome, was split in two, and

New York, Jan. 25. The steamship
Pacific has arrived, with dates from Eu
rope to the 13th instant.
The Pacific left Liverpool on tho after
noon of the li3th, and arrived off Sandy
Hook at five o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and had to lay off on account of the snow
storm. She brings G2 passengers.
The Pacific arrived out on tho 9th inst.
In running up the Mersey, the night be
ing very dark, she ran iuto the brig Cor
inthian, at anchor, bound to Calcutta
with a cargo valued at 20,000 sterling.
Tho brig sunk immediately, but no lives
were lost.
The loss of the packet ship George Can
ning, bound from this port to Hamburg,
is confirmed. It is supposed that all on
board, 1G0 in number, perished. Her
papers and the passengers' baggage were
washed ashoro near Heligoland, on the
coast of Holland, which is all that is real
ly known of the wreck.
Tho firm of Messrs. Mellor, Hethering

pending of many additional failures in
Liverpool.
The Czar has accepted, unconditional

is doubted.

The conduct of
Prussia aud the Ger
man States is still eejuivocal, and the sin
cerity of Russia is much doubted. Tim
doubt caused Consols to fall back, after
having advanced 2 per cent., under the
first effect of the news.
The Allies, it is said, will insist on the
Russian naval power in the Black Sea
being placed on a level with that of the
other Powers, as a proof of its sincerity.
Ou this point, it is expected, tne medita
tions will split, as Russia will on no ac
count assent to it.
The Russians have again invaded the
Principalities. A despatch from Brailow,
Jan. 0, says that the Russians have cros
sed the Danube, invaded the Dobrudscha,
and recaptured both Tultzcha as long as
possible.
Prussia has answered the demand of
Austria for the mobilization of the Prus

In regard to the siege of Scbastopol,
the latest official despatch published b
the English Government was of the 20th

A report prevailed in Paris on the

did not gain general belief.
Omer Pacha embarked on the 1st for
Balaklava. He has taken means to bring
a force of 50,000 men and 60 guns into

Merisebikoff is reported to have called

"No," said the Jew Fleischman, one
Sabbath evening, striking with his fist on
the supper table, "no, I will ncver suffer

"But, replied his wife, "she
might
make a fortuue by it. and there is noth
ing to prevent her living honestly,
although the ladies of the theater have
not the best reputation."
"Silence !" exclaimed Fleischman, "do

"He danced there," replied the old
Jew solemnly, "to celebrate the praises
of the Lord, and his grave and measured
dance had no resemblance to that which
your Sara wishes to practice."

the great theater of Berlin was filled to

tho. third act Sara aoncarcd. She was
tall, with black hair, nnd of a slender,
graceful form. For a century nothing
so beautiful had appeared on this stage.
All the European powers, in the person
of their ambassadors, were filled with
the most lively enthusiasm. It might
have broken the equilibrium and peace1
of Europe, but for the following incident.
Ah tlm mnniPTit in which the vounc
debutante, after having a longtime evad
ed the pursuit of a zephyr, fell exhausted
into his arms, a man whose costum'e was
not at all mythological, with a long beard
and a broad brimmed hat, advanced from
the side scenes, seized the young girl by
her robe, which was toru in his hands,
and exclaimed :
"Wretch ! would nothing stop you ?
must you come and disgrace yourself in
the presence of all Berlin? 'Tis well
in the face of all Berlin, I curse you; and
I pray to Heaven that you may dio in
shame and misery. I curse you," he re
peated; and though ho was not in the
lcait an actor, never did a paternal male
idction upon the stage produce such an
effect.
Ac this terrible apparition Sara became
ill, and two soldiers of the royal guard
seized tho intruder and hurried him out
of the theater. The manager could not
comprehend the anger of this man, with
whose daughter he had just signed one of
the most advantageous engagements
which had been made for ten years. The
European powers were a little deranged
in their respective plans by this unfor
scen interruption: among the women there
was but one voice; tho debutante was
passable, but she must have been a very
abandoned girl to cause such grief to so
respectable a father. The people of the
parterre, vho at first were touched by
this scene, when they recovered from their
emotion demanded, that their money
should be restored to them, seeing that
the play bills bad said nothing about a
father, and they had come to see a ballet,
and not a domestic drama.
On returning home, tho father and
daughter were both seized with a fever,
a natural consequence of the violent emo
tions they had experienced. The daugh
ter was but seventeen years old, aud life
was yet strong within her, but to the old
father decaying nature had long threat
ened dissolution. It came at once. They;
bore him to the Jewish cemetery without
the gate of the city, on the roau to r ranee
and, when two months after Sara passed
along the road in the carriage of the Am
bassador, she could not help thinking o
her old father and his malediction. But
as no voice came from the tomb to repeat
the curse, in less than a quarter of a mile
she had ceased to think of it.
The smooth road, the luxurious carri
age, the rapid motion, tho society of tin
Ambassador and his young secretary,
the thought ot tho brilliant future which
awaited her in Paris, where dancers are
held in honor 33 virtue was formerly in
leome, completely absorbed her.
In the midst of her ex tacy, the carri

where, thanks to the estate of the roads

peril would havo been less serious, but in
Germany everything is dono conscien

is rare that the unfortunate proprietor
escapes without broken ribs. The result
in this case was according to custom, the
carriage was overturned, dragged some
distance by the horses, and then left in a
ditch. Tho Ambassador had a leg brok
