MR. BROWN'S LAST ASCENT.
[ /rota C'hanibet's Jonnuti.]
Otte floe summer - morning, a few years sisoe,
there was wonderfut eizeitement in the Irish vil.
lags of Ballydooley. All the idle men, women
and ehildren in the neighborhood—oomprohend.
ing about nine- tenths of the pope lation— were as
sembled on the large level common which served
as a race course and balling•green; and all
thronged towards some object in the Centre, which
formed the nucleus or the crowd

asked another.
"Ab, don't be foolish!" exclaimed an old man,
the "sense-carrier" of the district; "don't ye see
the long ropes he's going to hold on by?"
"Well, well!" groaned an old woman, taking.

of her cross-barred cotton neckerehief; "theta -

when we heard that this Mr. Brown, with his
sacks of gold, was earning to /Umlaut] after hay-
Mg out the rale ould stock of the &asps we
thought he'd have carriages and hor..es
and maybe a fine yaicht in the harbor; but it never
entered the heads of any of us, that nothing lks
would rerve'-hitu than going coursing through the
air like a wild goose at the tail 9f a hallow, or
whatsomever they call it."
Fnr some time pa-t the pr0,,5,..f inflating the
balloon had been going on; and now the great
gayly painted orb towering tremulously above the
heads of the gaping speetaturs, 'and pressing
against the cords by which it was held down, it
seemed only to await the arrival of the bold wro- ,
Quit to . dart upwards on its way.
"Ilere he is." exclaimed the outward *trig
glers of the crowd; awl presently a carriage drew
up, and nut stepped 31r. Brown, the English mil
lionaire, who had lately become an Irish landed
proprietor. Mr Brown was a little dapper man,
whom a very small amount of pugilistic force
would have suffered to lay level with the soil of
his adoption. tlc wile one of the...: unlucky in
dividuals who meet an accident at every turn—
who, in entering a room, invariably slip, tumble,
knock down some piece of furniture, or sit down
be•iile their eh iir in•tead of up .n it. ,He seldom
escaped upsetting his in ii,tand; icnding his meant
and drink "the wrong way," then coughing and
ehuaking fir half an h , ur; cutting his fingers,
t..aring his coat, or knocking his forehead against
a doer, so that he rarely appeared in society,
without sears, plasters, or bandages. In practis
ing gymnastics he /hid knocked out threejpeth;

on his face and hands, with his head over -the
side of the car, his eyes wore fixed, his . hair
bristling.
"Are you afraid" asked Mr. Brown.
No answer. The balloon ascended rapidly,
and ore long arrived at the region of the clouds.
Turning once more to his immoveable companion,
Mr. Brown shook him slightly by-the arm, and
said, "are you ill?" Still no reply but a fixed
and stolid stare. They were now at a great ele
'ration; eloods lay beneath their feet, above their
heads a burning sun, and infinite apace around
them.
Suddenly the stranger stood upright, his face
as laid as that of a corpse.-
"Faster! faster!" he enchanted in a tone of
authority; and Nixing in Sueoessiou three of the
bags of sand which servedi. as ballast, he flung
them out of the ear, at the same time laughing
in a strange, wild manner. "Hal" he cried, "that's
