70 The Spectator says "When Socrates
was asked whether it was better for man
to marry or to live single, he replied, "Let
hin; do either, and he will repent it"-
Every newspaper that cuts out this scrap
to fill up a collum, attributes the saying to
some different author. The thing origina-
ted, as we think in the Comet office about
six months ago, and we said that Dyona.
cius of Hellicannasus, said so. Since that
time other papers, to make what is called
editorial out Of it, have attributed il to
Zeno, aud Jeremy Bentham, Sappho, and
Maj. Baggstocks and Cato, and Plato, ard
Crispus the Younger, and Pliny the Elder !;
aud now the Spectator sets it down to the
credit Of Socrates. This is ungenerous.-
Socrates is charged with saying many more
things that he never heard of, than any of
the ancients, and We hope the Spectator,
will take back the credit.

Amtiquity ofthc Old FelIoms.-
The origin Of the order Of Odd Fellows
is of ancient date. 1t was established
by the Roman soldiers in camp after
the order of the Isrealites during the
reign Of Nero the Roman Emperor
who commenced his reign A. d. 55 at
which time they were called Fellow
Citizens. The name of Odd Fellows
was given to this order of men A. d.
70 by Titus Cesar Emperor of Rome
from their singularity of notions from
their knowing each other by night as
well as by day and for their fidelity to
him and their country. In the 18th
century it was established in France
and afterward in England by John'd
Neville.

The SEARCH AFTER SIR JOHN FRAKLly.
From private letter to gentleman in
Savannah we infer that Sir Edward Becher,
who has the command of the expedition in
search of Sir John Frank lin, is the best
officer in the British navy for such an ex-
ploration. He is pretty we'll known as
daredevil, and those who know him best
think he will either succeed or perish in
the attempt The known opinion of Sir
Edward is, that if Sir John Franklin got
through Lancaster Sound, he might subsist
for years.
A few years since Sir Edward Bccher
carried British frigate which he comnan-
ded into the harbor of San Francis by night.
The water shoaled by the lead constantly
and his officers began to break out into all
kinds Of EXPLANATIONS about getting ashore
particularly when it was found that there
were but few feet between the keel of
the frigatc and the hard bottom. When
the excitement was at the highest pitch.
Sir Edward, who had replied to all these
demonstrations by the single word ''steadyu
to the helmsman, said, "the next throw of
the lead you will get a fathom more, and so
on, till we shall cast anchor in-fathoms.D
And SO it turned out. He had, some wears
previously, surveyed the enterance most
carefully, and knew every foot of ground
