Just teu years ago, there suddenly burst upon the Western world, a magnificent stranger from foreign parts, "with all his traveling glories on." It was tho great comet of 1858, on the grand tour of the universe. It seemed strange "that petty human lifo could go on as usual, with its eating and drinking, toiling, trafficking and pleasuring, while that "Haming minister," on bis bul? lion-leagued circuit, was preaching the wonders of infinite immensity aud power, aud the nothingness of earth. But science bas robbed celestial apparitions of their old portentous significance. Tho comet no longer runs his kindling race, like Vicli , Alpine's henchman, with his fiery cross, announcing war and disaster, ' Herald of battle, fate and fear, Ile is on bis own business; not ours. Under tho tail of this particular cornet doubtless many a tale of love was told-in the light of his swift splendors many a tender look exchanged. Tho astronomer coolly swept tho starry field with bis glass, unawed by tho irregular night-guard patrol? ing tho Heavens, and tho robber and mur? derer disdained tlu> awful witness. He left as he found ns-joined to our mortal idols wiso in our conceit, weak and worldly aud wicked, but no castaways of tho universo after all. We remember that comet summer, not so much for its great astronomical event, as for two singular incidents that moro nearly touched our human sympathies, which will .grovel in poor earthly affairs even within sight of the most august celestial phenomena. Ono pleasant Saturday afternoon during tho comet's appearance, an aeronaut, after a prosperous voyage, descended upon a farm in tho neighborhood of a large market town, in one of the Western States. He was soou surrounded by a curious group of tho far? mer's family and laborers, all asking eager questions about tho voyage and the manage? ment of the balloon. That, secured by an anchor and a rope in thc band of the aero? naut, its car but a foot or two ubovo tho ground, was swaying la/.ily backward and forward in the evening air. It was a good deal ont of wind, and was a sleepy und inno? cent monster in'the eyes of the farmer, who, with the owner's permission, led it up to his house, where, us ho said, ho could "hitch it" to his fence. But before ho thus secured it, Iiis three children, aged respectively ten, eight and three, begged bim to lift them "into that big basket," that they might sit on "tboso pretty red cushions."?tWhilo tho] attention of tho tero mint was diverted by moro curious questioners from a neighbor? ing farm, this rush father lifted bis durlings one by ono into tho cur. Chubby little Johnny prcvpd thc "ounce Loo mach" for tho aerial camel, and brought bim to tho ground; and thou, unluckily, not the baby, but tho eldest hopo of tho family, was lifted out. The relief was too great for the mon? ster. Tho volatile creature's spirits roso at once, ho jerked his baiter ont of thu farmer's hand, and with a wild bound, mounted into tho air. Vain wus tho sorouuut's anchor. It caught for a moment in a fence, but it tore away, and was off, dangling uselessly utter the runaway balloon, which HO swiftly and steadily rose, that in a few minutes those two little whito faces peering over tho edgo of the car grew indistinct, and tboso piteous cries of "papa!" "mamma!" grow faint and fainter in the air. When distance and ?-..light mists had swallowed up voices ar.?J faces, and nothing could be seen but tho durk cruel shspe, sailing triumphantly away, with its precious booty, like au aerial privateer, tho poor father sank down helpless and speechless; ! feat the mother, frantic with grief, still stretched her yearning arms toward the inexorable heavens, and ca1 lcd wildly up into the unanswering void. The noronaut strove to console the wretched parents with assurances that the balloon woold descend within thirty miles of town, and that all might be well with the ohildren, provided it did not come down in water, or in deep woods. In the event of its descending in a favorable spot, there was but one danger to be appre? hended; he thought that the elder child might step out, leaving the younger in the balloon. Then, it might again rise, and continuo its voyage. ..Ab. v??V' replied the mother, "Jennio would never stir from the car, without Johnnie in her arms!" Tho balloon passed directly over the town, and the children, seeing many people in tho streets, stretched out their bundi- and cried loudly for help. But the villagers, though they saw tho bright little heads, heard no call. Amazed at tho strange apparition, they might almost have thought tho translated little creatures small angel navigators on some voyage of discovery, somo little che? rubic venture of their own, as, heading toward the rosy cloud-lands aud purplo islands of sun-sot splendor, they sailed deeper and deeper into tho West and faded away. Some company they had, poor little sky waifs! Something comforted them, and allayed their wild terrors-something whis? pered them that below tho night aud clouds was home; that above was God; that where ever they might drift or clash, living or dead, they would still be in His domain and under His care-that though borne away among tho stars, they could not bo lost, for His lovo would follow them. When the sunlight all went away, and thc great comet came bluziug out, little rf chun ic was apprehensive that tho comet mighl como too near their airy craft, nnd sol it on fire with a whisk of its dreadful tail. But when Iiis sister assured him that tho liory dragon was "as much us tweutj miles awuy," and that God wouldn't let bia hurt thom, ho was tranquilized, but soot afterward said, "I wish bo would como t little nearer, so I could warm myself-l'a so cold." Then Jcunio took oil' her apron, ant wrapped it about the child, saying tenderly "Thia is all sister has to make you warm darling, but she'll hug you close in bei arms, and we will say our prayers, aud yoi shall go to sleep." "Why, how can I say my prayers before' huve my supper?" asked little johnnie. "Sister hasn't any supper for you, or fo herself, but wo must pray all tho harder, solemnly responded Jennie. So tho two baby-wanderers, alone in th wide heavens, unawed by darkness, immeu sity and silence, by the presence of tho groa comet and tho millions of unpitying stars lifted their little clasped hands, nnd sot.be out their sorrowful "Our Father," and th?* that quaint little supplementary prayer: Now I lay mo down to a'.cop. I pray tho Lord my aoul to keep, If I .".binilil dio before I wake, I pray tho Lord my soul to take. "There! God heard that, easy; for-wo ai closo to Him, up here," said iunoceut littl Johnuie. Doubtless, Divine Love stooped to tl little ones, and folded them in perfect peat -for soon tho younger, sitting on the bo tom of the car, with his head leaning again: his sister's knee, slept as soundly as thou? he were lying in his own little bod at homi while the elder watched quietly through tl long, long hours, and the car floated gent! on in tho still night air, till it began to swi and rock on tho fresh morning wind. Who can divino that simple little child thoughts, speculations and wild imagining while watching through those hours? Si may bavo feared coming in collision with meteor-for many were abroad that nigh scouts and heralds of tho great comet-o perhaps, being cast away on somo deso?a star island, or, more dreary still, floutii and floating on, night and day, till th< mould both dio of cold and hunger. Poi babes in tho clouds! At length, a happy chance, or Provident -wo will say Providence-guided the litt girl's wandering bund to a cord connect? with tho valve, something told her to pi it. At once tho balloon began to sin dowly and gently, ns though let down 1 tender 1 ands; or as though somo celesti pilot guided it. through tho wild currents tir, not letting it drop into lake or river, lof wood, or impenetrable swamp, where tl itrango uuchile-like experience might ha ueeu closed by n death of unspeakable hr ror; but causing it to descend as softly af jird alights, on a spot where human cu md pity availed it. Tho sun had not yet risen, but tho mor ng twilight had come, when the little g looking over the edgo of tho car, saw t lear old earth coming near-"rising town them," she said. But when tho car ste ped, to her great disappointment, it was i iU tho ground, bul caught fual in tuo it most branches of a tree. Yet BIIO saw th were near a houso whence help might so <omc, BO she awakened her brother and t< [lim tho good nows, and together th watched aud waited for deliverance, huggi such other for joy and for warmth; for tL were very cold. Farmer Burton, who lived in a lon lionse on the edgo of his own privi prairie, was a famous sleeper in general, 1 m this particular morning ho awoke bef< the dawn, and, thongh ho turned o burned nfain, he could Bleep no moro. I lt last, ho said to his good wife, whom liad kindly awakened to inform beroi unaccountable insomnolonce, "It's no ti ['ll just get up and dress, and havo a lc a tu . comet." Tho next that worthy woman heard fr tier wakeful spouse, was a frightened si mous to tho outer door. It seems, that sooner did he step forth from his hoi than his eyes fell on a strange, port?n tous shape, hanging in a large pear-tree, about j twenty yards distant. He could see in it no likeness to anything earthly, and he half fancied it might be the comet, who, having put oat his light, bad come down there to perch. In his fright and perplexity, bo did what every wiso man would do. in a like ex? tremity; ho called on bis valiant wife. Re? inforced by her, he drew near tho tree, cautiously reconnoitering. Surely, never pear-tree bore such fruit! Suddenly there descended from the thing a plaintive, trembling little voice, ,fPleaso take us down. We are very cold!" Then a second little voice, "And hungry, too. Please tuke ns down!" "Why, who ure you? Aud where are yon?" The first littlo voice said: "We are Mr. Harwood's little boy und girl, and wo nre lost in a balloon." Tho second littlo voice said: "It's us, and wo run nod away with a balloon. Pleuse tuke us down." Dimly comprehending tho situation, tho farmer getting hold of a dangling rope, succeeded in pulling down tho balloon. He first lifted out little Johnnie, who ran rapidly a few yards towards tho house, then turned round, and stood for a fow moments, curiously surveying tho balloon. Thc faith? ful littlo sister was so chilled and exhausted that she bad to be carried into the house, where, trembling and sobbing, she told her wonderful story. Before sun-rise, a mounted messenger was despatched lo the Harwood home, with glad tidings of great joy. He reached it in the afternoon, and a few hours later the chil? dren themselves arrived, in state, with ban? ners and music, and conveyed in a covered bay-wagon and four. Joy-bells were rung in tho neighboring town, and in tho farmer's brown house the happiest family ou the continent thanked God that night. It would seem that this comet bad some occult maddening influence ou balloons, for during its appearance there occurred in another Western State an involuntary aseen sion, similar to the one I have related; but moro tragical in its termination. Au aeronaut while, if I remember rightly, repairing the net-work of bis balloon, was scated on a slight wooden cross-piece, sus pended under it; the car having been re moved, und tho balloon being held in its position, a few feet from the ground, by merely a rope in tho hand of au assistant From a too careless grasp, this rope escaped, and in an instant the gigantic bubble shot upward, carrying tho lerounut on his frail support; a rider more helpless than Ma? zeppa bound to his Ukraine steed; a voyager moro hopeless than a ship-wrecked sailor afloat on a spar in mid-oceau. The balloon rose rapidly, but unsteadily, swaying and pitching in the'evening wind As long os it remained in sight, tho form of theierouaut could bo distiugushed, swing? ing beneath it. And, as ho was known to be a man of uncommon nerve and presence of mind, it was boped that even from bis dizzy perch, he might manage to operate on the valve, or nt least to puncture a small hole iu the balloon, and thus effect a descent. But such efforts, if he made any, were vain, as, for many days and nights, there was anxious inquiry aud patient search over a wide extent of country, with no result. We gave him up. Only wifely love hoped on, and looked and waited. At last, in a wild spot, the wreck of the balloon was found, aud that was all. Still, wifely love hoped on, until, a month or two later, some children nutting in a wood many miles nway from where the balloon was found, discovered, half-buried in tho ground, a strange dark mass, that looked like a heap of old clothes, but there was something shapeless and fearful holding it together. It is thought that the aeronaut parted com? pany from bis balloon by loosening his bold on the cords above him, in desperate efforts to open the valve; but ho may, after whirling in swift vortices, or plunging and mounting through cloudy abysses of air, bavo become unnerved by the awful silence, of tho upper night, by tho comet's fearful companionship, by whelming immensity and infinity, and wearily let go his hold, to drop earthward.
