I sat watching her white robes flitting through the long shady walk opposite my window, and knew that the child brooded over some dark sorrow, for her eyes were . filled with tears. Why was it, I questioned myself, that that painful thought took possession of me as I sat there ! It seemed as if I were so journintr in an em-hauled snot, and ili.it some horror was suddenly to break upon me.

'r **' i NAVIOMINO TliK AIH, TIio startling advances in the various departments of scientific investigation with in recent years, seem somewhat to prepare us for .still inoro startling achievements.? The mind becomes addled in ser'ously oil 1cm plating the results of the past, and yet still higher aims and holder ellorts are are made and put forward, to eclip.-e the wonders already accomplished. We have grown cautions in expressing a douh.t as to the result of the most seemingly unpioha hie etfortt that may attract the attention of the public. Many of the dei ided inven lions or suggestions of ;i few years past have been conducted onward to comple lion. Tins latest and boldest explorer into tile mazes of difficult achievements, is Prof. Sleincr, of Ohio. The Xotiia A'cws annonees that he is ahout to make a practi cal application of the results of his experi ence, in travelling through the air; and lie proposes to construct a balloon, or air ship, in which lie can cross the Atlantic m sixty hours. The bottom of the airship is to be of thin sheet copper, three hundred feet long, and eighty feet in diamu ter at the centre, ainl tapering toward each extremity. " Beneath this balloon is to be suspended, bv wire cables, a platform of the same conical shape, with the balloon itself? and on tl.e centie part ol this platform is to be placed the machinery and the cabin for pas-etigcrs. The surface measure ot the air ship will be one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and twenty five square feel, and its total weight thirty-seven I l...li* i.... i. .. .II --- - ---< ?VH. H ttJii cwiiiiiiu 1111 i lion eight hundred and niin-l-yfour thousand four li in hired suul sixty cubic feet of gas, which wiil support in tiic air a weight ot eight}* six and a half tons. Tim platform, cabin, machinery, ?fcc., arc estimated at eighteen tons, leaving power enough to elevate twenty o e tons of passengers, freight ami ballast."' We infer, from tho the statements pub lislicd, that this air sliip is to be worked by paddles, propelled by a steam power, and prof. Slciior thinks he ran travel at the tale of forty miles an hour with head winds, and one hundred miles an hour with favorn ble winds ; and that he can construct one of his air-vessels for forty thousand dollars. It is also suggested that Congress should aid him in his ciforts to complete his airship. The New York Troy Timrs, of the 14th inst., gives the name of another aspirant for the honors of air-navigation. It is MrJohn La Modn tain, lie has made ai rangemonts for ihe construction ot a balloon in l!oston,in which he hopes to cross the Atlantic the approaching summer. The balloon is to be made of silk, and the funds necessary to complete the undertaking have been secured. Mr. Wisp, the old aeronaut, it is stated, approves of Mr. L.i Mountains plan, and both will co-opcratc in bringing it to a successful completion. We may he excused for expressing wonder nt the apparent temerity of these men who propose to navigate the air l?y air-ships or balloons. It is 110 great noveity to ascend into the air in a ballouii?that has l<een demonstrated in the view of thousands, lint it will not only bo a novelty, but a great scientific achievement, when it can be show'n that the air e;m be navigated?that the same skill can (>e employed in conducting a balloon through a stonily atmosphere that is usually employed on a stormy mam. Mr. La Mountain, if successful, will make severel long trips over this country, before he attempts to cross the Atlantic. We can all well afford to wait, and see the r<*sult o( tliuse schemes of air navigation, before we either express doubt or eon tide nee in such undertakings.?Augusta Constitutionalist. Pleasant Words.?1. They don't cost nut'.'li. Tliey come bubbling up in a good natured heart, like the freely gushing waters of a fountain. It is as easy to ppeack them as it is to breathe. They I'oinu forth as naturally and easily from llie lips of kindness, as the rays from the sun. There is no paius taking about the matter. These kind words leap forth of themselves, and delight to fly awfiy in every direction on their errands of love. 2. They make the man linppier that uses them. They react upon him. Hot word's make the user's wrath hotter. So oving words tnako love glow tho warmer in the bosom. They are fuel to tho sacred lame. Loving words help to make a nora and more loving heart.
