tion, he ''may be happy yet" Not with that
ugly disposition of his, we fear. He will prob
ably never be quite happy until the resurrection

might be partially restored if elected President
of Virginia university" with a rudimentary
man and brother to cut mint and adjust straws
for him. But, alas we fear his happy days are

INSTINCT WITHOUT BRAINs.-Long ago it was
ascertained by naturalists that worms and in
sects are without brain, and yet they pursue
course of activity which borders upon the do
main of reason; so we are accustomed to say
that they act from instinct, hich is no explana-
ton at all of the phenomena in the higher orders
of organic life which have their origin in the
BRAIN If that organ is severely injured, so that
its normal functions no longer performed,
consciousness and orderly manifestations of its
influence are interrupted or suspended. But the
insect world swarms with beings of the most del
icate construction, without hearts and without
brains, whose movements and habits, independ-
emily of thousands of contingencies to which
they are exposed, prove in the most satisfactory
manner that their acts are a near approach to
the elements of reasoning faculty, if they do
no: indicate reason itself. When, by accident, a
thread of SPIDERS web is broken, the little
weaver examines the misfortune with extreme
care, and by taking different positions, surveys
the damage, and then proceeds artistically to
repair it BY splicing or inserting an entire new
cord. Again, when a wandering fly becomes en-
tangled in the net, the owner of the trap, lying
patiently near by for game, indicates calcula-
ton in regard to the character and strength of
the victim. Does it not strangely resemble rea-
son when all its movements, under such as
pect OF affairs, show beyond doubt the spider
considers the matter in all its relations before
venturing to seize the prey? And yet spiders
are without brain.

WOULDN'T BE OUrDoNE.-One of the jealous
chaplains OF the army of the Potomac called on
colonel noted for his profanity, in order to talk
about the religious interest of bis men. He was
politely received. and motioned to a seat on a
chest, when the following dialogue ensued:
Chaplain -"Colonel, you have one of the finest
regiments in the army"
Colonel-" believe So"
Chaplain" Do you think you have paid suf-
fcent attention to the religious instruction Of
your men p
Colonel (doubtfully)-s' Well don't know

ment] The Lord has blessed the iabors of his
servants, and ten have been baptised.'

attendant: " Sergeant-Major, have fifteen men

UNHEALTHY SEASON FOR DEMocRArs.-We think
the following, from the Marysville Appeal, will
apply to all points throughout the State =" The
Republicans in this city won a goodly number of
bets on the general result, the October elections,
city of Marysville, etc., ETC., and have gathered
in their plunder. Some have won cash, horses,
clothing, hats, boots. The Democrats, to their
credit let it be said, pungle freely, and refrain
from any extra securing 1t has been an un-
usually unhealthy season for Democrats"

MovE THE Loes.-The Democratic majority in
the Board of Regents of the State University
have actually elected and invited General McClel-
Ian to the Presidency of that institution. Gov.
Low has resigned from the body in consequence.
After remarking that &C citizens who are interes-
ted in the and utility of the institution,
have only the poor consolation Of hoping that
that dsgraceful failure and traitor to the armies
of tbs Union will not think proper to accept the
situation, the Oakland Transcript makes the fol-
lowing timely suggestion
QUAKER GuNs.-There are several viciouslook-
ing old logs lying about town, which ought to
be removed. 1t is recollected that when McClel-
Ian was advancing on Richmond with l2o, 900
men, the rebels mounted number of logs, hav-
ing the appearance of heavy guns, and scared
the heroic General back. We fear that if in ad-
vancing OF Oakland, he should observe any of
these dangerous phenomena, he may order a re-
treat, or serd for reinforcements. The Generals
nerves were never very strong.

The Death OF Summer.

By the lengtheniug twilight hours,
By the chill and fragrant showers,
By the fow'rets pale and faded;
By the leaves with russell shaded;
By the gray and colored morn;
By the dropping ears Of corn;
By the meadows overspread
With the spiders wavy thread;
By the soft and shadowy sky;
By the thousand tears that lie
Every weeping bough beneath
Summer, we perceive thy death
Summer, all thy charms are past;
Summer, thou art wasting fast
Scarcely one Of all thy roses
On thy faded brow rsposes.
Thrush and nightingale have long
Ceased to WOO thee with their song;
And, on every lonely hight,
Swallows gather for their flight
While the wild winds dreary tone,
Sweeping through the valleys lone,
Sadly sighs, with mouruful breath,
Requiems for sweet summers death.
