The Social.

Men who isolate themselves from soci-
city, and have no near and dear family
ties are the most uncomfortable of human
beings. Byron says" happiness was born
twin" the phrase, though pretty and
poetic, does not 80 far enough. We are.
sregarlous, and not intended to march
through life either in single or double
bile. The man who cares for nobody, and
for whom nobody cares, has nothing to
live for that will pay for the keeping of
soul and body together, You must have
a heap of embers to have glowing fire.
Scatter them apart, and they will become
dim and cold. So to save brisk, vigor.
Gus life, you must have group of lives,
to keep each other warm, as it we're to If.

THE THE GRAVE OF JACKSON.

Mr. Swinton, the historian, writes to the
New York Times, from Lexington, Va,
in reference to Stonewall Jackson, as fol-
lows -
[ stood this evening in the light Of the
descending sun at the grave Of a different
type-at the grave Of Jackson, ''In Lex
ington in the Valley OF Virginia; and here
he lies in the quiet village church-yard. 4
simple slab is at the head with only the
name, General Thomas J. Jackson" and
at his feet stone with the initials ~ J.
j." A garland Of flowers lay On the grave;
and in my heart could feel no other emo
ton than one Of tender interest in such
proofs Of affection.
Jackson, for the ten years previous to
the outbreak Of the war, was professor in

neighbors and familiars, and have even
met several negroes who were members of
the colored Sabbath School which he es-
tablished here and conducted with great
success for many years. AS teacher he
was decidedly unpopular, and it is said
that he was amaladroit in his experiments,
which often resulted in ludicrous blunders,
at which he would laugh as heartily as the
lads in his class. At one time he deter
mined to acquire the art Of public speak
ing, and with this view he joined the
Franklin Society, literary association
which existed for many years, and which
still exists, in Lexington. He used to take
part in the debates, but with the most dis
tressing stammerings, haltings, and break
downs, end never attained any more than
mediocre faculty of utterance. AS he
came more under the influence of the re-
igious sentiment, after the death of his
first wife, he ceased to attend the Frank
lin Society, and becoming more and more
moody and eccentric, he grew more and
more unpopular Indeed, he was looked
upon as kind of mild lunatic, and the
Board had frequent meetings with view
of displacing him from his chair in the
Academy. At length the war broke out,

speak of the wonderful change that came
over him at the outbreak of the war.
Though he had been all his life an ardent
State Rights Democrat, yet he bitterly OPP
posed secession. Nevertheless, when the
war came, he threw into it all the tremend-
Gus energies of his nature. Then his re-
ligious feryor became guiding light and
an iInpelling power. He believed that he

matters, he used to express the same views

Following Their Leader.

Sheep perseveringly follow their leader
wherever he goes; but if, in case Of sud-
def alarm, any one of the flock runs for
ward to escape, and thus takes the lead,
the rest generally follow him, regardless
of any obstruction. OF this singular dis
position we once witnessed an instance in
Cleveland, Ohio. A butchers boy was
driving about twenty fat sheep through the
city, but they ran down a street along
which he did not want them to go He
observed scayenger at work with his
broom little way before them, and called
out loudly for him to stop the sheep. The
man accordingly did what he could to turn
them back, running from side to side, al
ways opposing himself to their passage,
and brandishing his broom with great dex-
terity; but the sheep, much agitated,
pressed forward, and at last one of them
came right up to the man, who, fearing
it was about to jump over his head while
he was STOPPING grasped the short broom
stick in both hands, ard held it over his
head. lie stood fer few seconds in this
position, when the sheep made spring
and jumped fairly over him without tou-
ching the broom The first had no soon
or CLEARED this impeachment than another
followed, and another, in quick succession,
that the man, perfectly COMPOUNDED, scem-
ed to lose all recollections, and stood in
the same attitude until the whole had
jumped over him-not one Of them at
tempting to pass on either side, though the
street was quite clear. AS this took place
during wet weather, the man was entirely
despatched over with dirt before they had
all passed; and it is impossible to conceive
a more ludicrous appearance than the poor
fellow made on the occasion.

An Elephant and a Rat.

A very extraordinary encounter between
a rat and an elephant has recently taken
place in the Garden Of Plants, London,
which was witnessed with interest by hun
dreds Of persons. The keepers were en-
gagged in destroying great number Of rats,
when one Of them escaped and ran to the
spot allotted to the elephant. Seeing no
other refuge, in the twiul;ling Of an eye the
rat suddenly ensconced himseifin the trunk
of the elephant, very much to the elephants
dissatisfaction. He stamped his foot and
twisted his trunk around like the sail of a
windmill After these evolutions, he stood
suddenly rejecting on what was oest to do.
He ran to the trough where he is accustom-
ed to drink, and placed his trunk into the
water, then returned to his den. and rails
ing his trunk, with the water absorbed, he
dashed out the unfortunate rat, which was
in sheet of water like that issuing from y
fire engine. When the rat fell to the
ground, the elephant seized him, and made
him undergo the immersion and projection
four times. At the fourth it fell dead.
The elephant, with majestic air, but cool
and placid, crushed his annoying little en-
envy with his foot, and then went round to
the spectators to make his usual collection
of cakes, sugar and other dainties. The
feat was received with vociferous applause,
which the elephant seemed fully to under
stand and appreciate.

The Crocodile Syliogisin.

Amongst other famous dialectic prob
lens is the following dilemma, which is
framed with wonderful ingenuity, the ac-
uteness displayed in its construction being
probably unsurpassed. It is called Syllo-
gismus Crocodilus, and may be thus stat
ed: An infant, while playing on the bank
of the river, was seized by crocodile
The mother, hearing its cries, rushed to
its assistance, and by her fearful entreat-
les obtained promise from the crocodile
(who was obviously Of the highest intelli-
gence) that he would give it back to her
if she would tell him truly what would
happen to it. On this, the mother (per-
haps rashly) asserted:
You 1ciW not gee 1t 5ach"
The crocodile answered to this: eff you
have spoken truly, I cannot give back the
child without destroying the truth Of your
assertion; if you have spoken falsely, I
cannot give back the child, because you
have not fulfilled the agreement; therefore
[ cannot give it back whether you have
spoken truly or falsely"
The mother retorted: ''IfI have spoken
truly, you must give back the child by
virtue Of your agreement; if l have spoken.
falsely, that can only be when you have
given up thechild; 50 that, whether I have
spoken truly Or falsely, the child must be
given back"
History is silent as to the issue Of this
remarkable dispute.

FAR AWAY.
The Land that is very far of-Isaiah xxx111, Il
Upon the shore
Of eve1more
We sport Ike children at their play
And gather shells
Where sinks and swells
The mighty sea from far away.
Upon that beach,
Nor voice nor speech,
Doth things Ineligible say,
But through our souls
A whisper rolls
That comes to US from far away.
Into our ears
The voice Of years
Comes deeper, deeper, day by day;
We stop to hear,
As it draws near,
Its awfulness from far away.
At what it tells
We drop the shells
We were so full CT yesterday
And pick no more
Upon that shore,
But dream of brighter far away.
And Ger that tide,
Far out and wide,
The yearnings of our souls to stray
We long to go
We do not know
Where it may be, but far away.
The mighty deep
Doth slowly creep
Upon the shore where we did play
The very sand
Where We did stand
4 moment since, sweeps far away.
Our playmates ali
Beyond our call,
Are passing hence, as We, too, may
Unto that shore
Of Eyermore,
Beyond the boundless faraway.
Well trust the wave,

Beneath whose feet as marble lay
The rolling deep,
For he can keep
Our souls in that dim far away.

A YOUNG LAWYER was examining a
bankrupt as to how he had spent his mon
ey. There were about two thousand
pounds unaccounted for, when the attorney
put on severe, scrutinizing face, and
exclaimed, with much self-complacency:
CHOW, sir, want you to tell this court
and jury how you used those two thousand
pounds"
The bankrupt put on serio-comic face,
winked at the audience, and exclaimed:

The judge and audience were convulsed
with laughter, and the counsellor was glad

A Railroad Acquaintance.

| A Western railroad conductor tells the
following capital hit, of which the Times
of Cincinnati, "makes note :"
Zone day last week" said he, "there
came on board Of the cars, from one of the
up-country stations. a very pretty, genteel
young lady, on her way to this city. She
was alone so I waited upon her to good
seat, and made her as comfortable as posi-
bic. It was few minutes before the start
ing hour, and she was SO agreeable and SO
talkatise that fingered, and we. had a
pleasant chat.
"Afterward, when collecting the tickets,
she detained me again an instant, and
gave me some fine peaches, which she said
came from Ter friends orchard in the coun-
try and really [ began to think that [
had not had so charming passenger for
many day.
"Well, we arrived at the depot; and
then attended her to the carriage, hand
ed up her carpet bag, and, after all, what
do you think she said 2"
Now we thought, of course, that the
young lady would say very politely,

friend John Van Dusen, the gentlemanly
conductor, would bow an ad;eu, and with
a sigh turn away and forget the matter,
and we stated that as our natural SUPPOSE
ton.
"No," said the conductor, s'she did no
such thing but, just as her foot was on
the step, she turned, and with sort of
look | can't describe, observed
"You must consider this, sir, merely a
car acquaintance. You must not expect
to be recognized if we meet any where

John drew long breath.
"What did you say p we asked.
"Why thought this rather uncivil, to
say the least, so | replied very quickly:
"Certainly not, Madam. [ was just

cept on the cars for really, we conductors

How exquisitely absurd to tell a girl

How exquisitely absurd to tell a girl
that beauty is of no value-dress Of no val
ne. Beauty is of value her whole prospect
in life may often depend upon new gown,
or becoming bonnet, and if she has five
grains of common sense, she will find this
out. The great thing is to teach her their
Just value, and that there must be some
thing better under the bonnets than a pref
ty face for real happiness. But never sac
