(abkInsab, oonfebexce. ) Yo'r right when you lays it down, Parson, Thet the flesh is weak and a snare; And to keep yer plow in tho furrow , When yer cattle begins to rare? Ain't no sure thing. And between us, The same may bo said of prayer. Why, I stood'the jokes, on tho river, Of the boys, when the critters found Thet I'd jined the church and the snicker, Thet, may be ye mind, vent round, The day I set down with the mourners, In the old camp mcetin' ground. I stood all that, and I reckon I might at a pinch stood more? For the boys, they represents Baal, And I stands as the rock of the law, 1 And it seemed like a moral scrimmage, In holdin' agin their jaw. But thor's crosses a Christian suffers, ? As hez'nt got that pretense Things with no moral purpose, Things, ez tiez got no sense; Things, ez, somehow, no profit Will cover their first expense. Ez bowl I.was just last evenin' Addrpssin' tho Throne of Grace, And mother knelt in tho corner, And each of the boys in his place? When that eneakin' pup of Keziah's To Jonathan's oat gave chuse! I never let on to mind 'em, I never let on to hear; . But drive that prayor down the fcrrer With that cat hi din' under my chair, And Keziah a whispOrin' "sic her!" And another a sayin' "you dare!" I asked for a light for the heathen, To guide on his narrer track, With that dog and that cat jest wnltzin', And Jonathan's face jest black, When the pup made a rush and the kitten? Dropped down on the small of my back. Yet, I think, with the Lord's assistance, I might have continued then, If gettin' her bolt, that kitten Hadn't dropped her claws in mo? .when It somehow reached the Old Adam And I jumped to my feet with Amen. So, yo'r right when you say it, Paxsony I That the flesh is weak and a snear, And to keep yer, plow, in the furrow When yer cattle begins to rare, Ain't no sure thing. And between us, I say it's jest so(with prayer. ?i. i ? <?<>?? Donaldson's ' Plans.?The Fall Matt Gazette of April has the follow? ing:.. "An American balloonist, by name Mr. Donaldson, has informed the Soeiete d* Aerostation, of Paris, that within three or four months he intends crossing the Atlantic from the United States to Europe in a balloon measuring 70,000 cubic meters. Mr. Donaldson is conviced that there exist a constant current of air in the upper strata of the terrestial atmosphere setting at that season from West to East. He is undeterred by previous failures, and has provided himself with cans of Ltiebig's meat extract, life-belts, blue lights, and rockets, carrier pigeons, bottles to contain floating messages, astronomical instruments and flags, by means of which he can signal to vessels near which he may pass. Ho will probably travel alone, for the sake of lightness, and the ballast in the balloon car will principally consist of 'nre-pots' of Mr. Ponnlducm's own invention, which are said'to bo tin cylinders, containing a chemical substance which becomes inflammable instan? taneously upon contact with water, j and etmti&f 'trraiAnt '?nd' lbrig-H la8ting.fl|9Jj^./. Asn&r., Donaldson is borne rapidly along Easterly he will drop these fire-pots into the sea every/ton Widuteeu so at' night thewhoidTi6r^oM; he^efp;octB, will be ?l?minnto?, ana he will leave a firey track behind him' on the At? lantic The scheme sounds all the more a;^<??/tlioirec4ht voy? age of tho Zohith balloon from Paris to' the faeighborhoodi of Bor? deauxis the longest'on record, *nd only occupied some sixteen hours. The balloonist Green; in all his fourteen voyages," wWnever lpnger in the air,, it is said, than three or fotu hoars at a time. Sixteen years ago the Goant balloon went up from the Obamp.de Mars, and de? scended in Hanover after six hour** sailing. Subsequently MM. Flair? marion and Goddard traveled from Paris to Prussia in. eleven Lours. Several similar trips have since been made. 1 However, Mr. Donaldson hopes to be in the air not longer than a Week." ! That was a dramatic incident in the trial of Carson at Bangor, Maine, when the prisoner picked Up the skull of the dead man, winch bad been introduced as evi? dence, and said: "If this had a tongue now, it would say I am in? nocent."
