Alfred Summcrson was the sop of a gent-Ionian of fortune and family. Generous,1 waru)(icaru*i, quicK-witou, wun, a source pf j amusemtmt that was inexhaustible, good I ttfilse, and faculty fur all ho undertook, there . was nothing to prevent his being the boat! of scholars, oxeept that unconquerable love of fun, and the knowledge thqt lie could make up lost time .by a little extra application never was put in practice, and in consequence bis friends begun to fear for Lis fu1 ture, , .Jessie Grey was the ouiy child of a,widowed j mother, nrjd the darling of every one. Gen-j tie and affectionate, she loved the wild youth j .who had ju?t left her, with her whole heart, her mother dreaded to allow the young j people to think uf morelhau friendship, fear-, ing that Suimnei$oti would nut make so [ gentian soul as Jessie's as happy as a more settled mate might j and so, although Smn-. uiorson's mind was fully made up that Jessie Grey was to be his wife, .jij lime, mid although Jesse .wore a little ring tlwu had been giveq as a .Christmas present, but by a few whispered ^vords naif-laughing, ludf serious, lipd oeeu eqdpwed with a deeper meaning, there was nu deljpito and settled understand- < Jessievyas a gretit favorite with the Summersons, who saw that she had more in- 1 fluenco with Alfred than any who' hoped j she might bring bim round right in the end. By tliein the match was earnestly desired a< : soon both parties should be of suitable age, and qn hearing of Alfred's new resolu- i tion, resolved to make a tour to Kurope in 1 the year, as it would be a g?>od opportunity | { io ;umi mp ott-repealed promise made by i Stuumerson senior to the ladies of his fami- I Iv, and:Jessie an<4 her mother wore lo ac- > company them. Allhongh Alfred was not to ace'Jessie, he was not debarred the pritfHoge of writing to her, and her letters were always so full-of encouragement that it gave the young stu- ' dent fresh energy and 'perseverrliyre every 1 time he received one. We- will not say it 1 was nn easy tiling for the wild, thoughtless 1 youth Id become studious. It was very hard ' to refuse ' his old comrades' invitations, ( warmly urged (for Krcd Suminerson was the ! liftyof a party,) to j8in this and Hint scheme of lawless fun, and perhaps he w?.>ul?l ifot 5 have withstood all those manifold tempta- 1 tions, if it had not been for an older eollegi- 1 an who took a great interest in Alfred's en(leavers for amendment. -Philip Walton was 1 nearly twenty-two years of age, ami this was v his last term at college, lie was without 1 relations, wealth or position,yetheoommand ed the respect of every one he came in contact with T?y his dignity and generosity. Ho 1 ,w?aa considered a distinction; and that he j should show such a brotherly interest in ,"wild tred Summersou" was :i subject of amaaertietit t<? Alfred's formet companion*. s I Hut urging was not all Summersou had 1 i to contend with; for finding that mode in- ' (effycty to tnovd him, his ydtthg classmates ' tried taunts,* and Alfred's hot, proud nature s waa^hdv tried bflVeven these failed, and ' j ip time'his torments gave over, declaring , | "jMinnperson had lost all hi*spirit and grown 1 shocking tame, meanspbltPtl'nnd cowardly.

"I was about six years of age at the time,, and of my father I know nothing, except that he was a sea captain, and by wurq Philip "Grey."

' j am your fnotlicr," Philip 1" The scene that followed we will not attempt to describe. An explanation was made, which we give in brief. Captain Orc\v on his last voyage, which was made six year previous to the time our story opens, left his wife with an infant, now the lovely Jessie, but took his son, a boy of live years, with him. On thb passage out, !iis ship was wrecked on the coast of Franco ami all on hoard except little Philip p> .ished. A vessel bound i'or New Orleans picked him up, but he was unable to give any account of himself, except his name ami age. One of the passengers utleiod to take charge of the little fellow, and though hardly able, had adopted him on arriving at his home. . . * When Philip was sixteen his kind protector died, and left him barely enough to carry him through college, with strict economy, living so long accustomed to the naineot \v aiton, Urey, as we must not call hiin, did not think of finding relations in the the Now England States, ami almost forgot that his name hud been other, than the one he had taken. ( rent were the rejoicings in both families, and Summeraon felt how deeply lie was indebted for all this happiness u> his endeavor to conquer himself. If he had not shown < by his altered conduct his good resolution, lirey would never have noted him, and de parted for the South to pursue his profession, losing his chance of regaining a mother and slater. . j In a few fleeting years there was-a double marriage at the splendid mansion of Mr. j "hinmierson, which gave another son to Mrs. j lirey, another daughter to himself; and Alfred Sumnierson never rog*elte?l that speech | to Jessie, or the year of trial, j^nd the noble ; idf-conquest tliat followed. * 3ktr aordinary Ballon Ascension by a * Lady, and Miraculous Escape. ! Wf. announced a few days ago that Miss j U>ui a Hrtnlley n->ccndtd l a balloon at Ea?- I .011 Ph., on flic 26th nst., and that she nade a miraculous escape from death. It ipjiears she filled the balloon with gas from | ?ue of the m tin streets, that it \yas made of; >!d siik, and that she knew very little about j .he hnsiness she had undertaken. The hub j oon a>cended at first about 20 feet, when ; ihe made a short address to the crowd of; >oople. It then rose gently, still held by he rope, until she was one hundred feet, iom the ground, when she cut the cord, and i be balloon rose perpendicularly, vtilh great! elocity, until she had reached a mile, of a' uile and a quarter. A spectator says : When she reached (his height she Mates j hat the balloon, which \va? not entirely fill-1 >d when it left the earth, expanded, until! 1k> gas begun to escape at the seams, and' Kjuamo very offensive to her. She had been j .o absorbed l?v tho enchanting' prospect pread out'beneath her, which she says was1 uugfhificeilt. beyond tho powrr of language to1 Icsctibc, that she had not noticed tho bal-' oon. The escape of gas alarmed, her, and ihn pulled the valve rope, but permitted but idle gas to escape, as she was afraid she would fall into the Delaware, which was. di-: rectly beneatli her. In a few moments after; his tho balloon collapsed, and to our horror1 ind nlamb we saw her fall with frightful ra-' >idity for the distaneo of six hundred or scfv-! en hundred foot, her pjo&rcss then beiftg lin ked, from what caiiMj w?j below could lot see,' although we'th^rt obsorved that she' was descending quito slod-ly.
