MY NOTE-BOOK.
To my mind, tbe most despicable specimen
of humanity extant is tbe serpentine man. I
mean one of tbose fellows that always gets into \
your presence without sound or shadow. You
r gee him or hear him until he is at your
you do see him, you are always seized .
by a»- .nstinctive disgust and an undefined tear.
If you shake bands with him, yon imagine his j
hands are cold and slimy, and a sensation ol :
chilliness creeps over you.
He always greets yon with what he intends f
for a smile, but which reminds yon most of the j
expression on the countenance of a hyena.
When he asks you a question, you are at once
impressed with the idea that he is seeking infor
mation about some other subjeet than the one
named. He answers questions with all the am
biguity of the Delphic Oracle. You find it dilfi-
cult to remember exactly what he said, and im
possible to decide positively what he meant.
He never goes anywhere by the most direct
route, nor does anything in a straightforward
manner. He could no more be frank and
candid than an eccentric wheel could give
a rotary motion to machinery. He is more
double-barreled than Toodles’ candle, and has
less knowledge about manly honesty than Blind
Tom has about the colors of the rainbow. Know
him as long and as intimately as you may, you
can never be certain ot but one thing in regard
to him, aud that is, he is essentially uncertain.

Eill i ord was very much annoyed, and, in
fact, very much frightened, by the conduct ot
Major Sherman’s dog. Every time Bill passed
tlmold man’s house, the dog—which was a dan
gerous looking fellow—would run along the
fence barking and growling furiously, and on
one or two occasions he jumped over the fence,
and Bill was compelled to take to his heels, and
to sacrifice no little of his manly dignity on
the altar of safety. But Bill got even with the
dog at last, and put an end to all future annoy
ance. We will let him explain in his own
words:
“I wouldn't have cared so much for tlm durn
dog’s barking, if he hadn't come out in the
street after me. I never did him no harm, and
I wasn’t willing that he should do me any. I
spoke to old man Sherman about it, but Le al
lowed the dog wouldn’t bite anybody in the
street nohow, and that the boys worried him
and made him bark that way when anybody’
was passing. Well, you see, I didn t know who
had worried him, but I knew I hadn’t (if the dog
and soon had what they called a roaring rebel
camp-fire. Sallie made coffee and spread the
tablecloth on the grass, and we ate our evening
meal with cheerful and contented, if not happy
hearts; and tho only drawback to our enjoyment
was the great war-cloud. We were encamped . . , . . ., i n« in
on the pike near the narrow passage, and the j Ah . how majesties T , Y „ their
scenery spread out before us grandly beautiful I the fair ight of memoiy. ' P- y ..
in the purpling light of the clear sunset of the 1 glittering pinnacles pierce the serene sky .
July evening. To the left, the flickering shad- j shines the mellow sunlight on their mar > ® ’
ows fell on the undulating fields, and peaceful- their stately towers, their frowning bannere at
looking farm-houses, shrubs and ti’ees stretch- tlements ! The wide, massive portal stands ever
ing away to tbe gray’ old Massanutten, rugged open, and through it throng such swarms of gaily
and hoary with its huge liehened aud moss- ! hedight lords and ladies, in rustling silks and wav-
grown rocks; to the right, like the remains of ' ing'plumes, ami gleam of glittering jewels. There
some old castellated wall, towering high in tire ; s niusic the rich, delicious music of the realm of
air, stood the abutments of tbe railroad bridge—
tbe same bridge from which occurred the late
terrible disaster. It had been burned by Ashby,
i and huge pieces of charred timbers still hung
' their blackened length above, and swayed and
creaked in the evening breeze; beyond this, the
same stretch of peaceful-looking farm-houses,
green fields, verdant woods, and beyond, all in
the distance, the blue North Mountain, rearing 1
its bead in the evening mist, the one looking
! so blue in the distance; the other so gray in
its nearness, we might almost imagine them the
hostile armies confronting each other.

AVe had been living, or rather existing, be
tween the two armies for two years ; for we were
in that portion of the lower valley of the Shen
andoah sometimes held by the Confederates,
sometimes by the Federals, and at all times
overrun by T both. AVe still had meat and bread,
and sometimes a limited supply of groceries.
AVe had about exchanged our last spare chicken
to some Federal for coffee when that great tidal-
wave of war rushed down and over us, which
culminated at.i^t ysburg and then ebbed back
in ambulances of wounded, in troops of cavalry,

the house. I was sorrv afterwards I did not find
out the name of the officer, lor it was an act of
courtesy I shall not soon forget.”
“ AVell, it was better than I expected; but Mrs.
Gerard, my kind hostess, cried over your letter
about the children, and wished so much for you
to have some of the things she has in abundance.
They raise cane, and have a large sorghum mill,
with kettles and furnace for boiling, and it is
really splendid the way they make it. They
have plenty of maple sugar, and a substitute
for almost everything. They raise flax and keep
sheep, have a loom and a woman to weave and
make all their summer and winter clothing, but
I cannot tell yon all; you can see when you get
there. I made up my mind to come for you as
dreams ; ami it swells through the vast, vaulted
saloons, and steals in faint, echoing, ravishing
whispers down thedim, arched corridors, until the
very charmed air seems to pulse and throb and
grow sentient with passionate enjoyment. There
are pictures on the marble walls ; glowing dreams
of the rapt artist, of such exquisite beauty that the
most inspired canvas in the every day prosaic
world seems cold and languid and dead. And the
! statues ! not the mute, pallid marble creations that
the world has seen fit to enshrine lovingly in the
j vast temple of art; but it is life—glowing, beaut :
ful life suddenly frozen into the eternal glory of the
! stone, to be a joy and an inspiration forever. And
| all this marvellous perfection of beauty is our own
—our very own. We have reared the colosasl
| columns of our splendid home; we have filled it
; with masterpieces of art. But dearest, sweetest,
j most priceless of all, we have gathered there the
j cherished forms of our nearest. They walk with
; us through the sumptuous halls; their arms are
j interclasped with our own as we stand in rapt de
light before the breathing marble of a divine
j statue, ordriuk in with passionate enjoyment the
j soft, mellow flow of the music. They are all—all
| there, in that wonderful castle in cloudlaml. In
j clout!landah, beautiful, beautiful home of our
dreams! your foundations rested upon the airy
outlines of a beautiful cloud; your marble walls
and massive battlements were fashioned out of the
swift-fading light of a radiant sunset; the music
that filled your vast saloons was but the far away
echo of the mystic melodies of your own brain ;
and the friends who were the joy and light of our
cloudbuilt home ; ah, we summoned them—many
of them—

I wanted to go to the spring, I. took it along.
Sure enough, the durn dog jumped the fence as
soon as I passed the gate, and come at me with
his mouth wide open and growling powerful. I
tell you, he looked like a biting dog, and it ap
peared to ine he was twice as big as I ever saw
him before. I stood my ground, though, and
being sorter mad, and right smartly scarfed too,
I struck him a powerful lick, and the pike went

end stuck iDto the ground. I’ll bet high he

“AVhat did Mr. Sherman say?”
“ Well, he was as mad as a wet hen about it,
and we bad a right smart argument. Says he':
‘Why didn’t yon get after him with the other
end of the pike and drive him off with that?’
Says I: ‘Mr. Sherman, why didn’t yqur durn
dog come at-nr. icith the other end?’ And that
floored him—sure as you’re a foot high, it did.’>

Such a man was an old farmer wiJp paid much
attention to, and took much pride in, raising
cattle. One morning he was informed by his
“hired man ” that one of a pair of brindle oxen
bed suddenly died of murrain.*
“Has he?”8aid the old man .placidly. “Well
he always was a breaeby cuss. Take off bis
hide and take it to the tanner, and he will give
ycu the money for it.”
AVher the “hired man” came to dinner, he
told his employer that his yoke of red oxen had
both died of the same disease.
“ Well,” replied the old man, pleasantly, “I
got them for a bad debt, and have, had the use
of them over two years, and their hides will
bring the-taoney at the tanners, which will be
that much more. Just skin them, Jdhn, apd

About three in tbe afternoon, the “hived
again made his appearance,with the inlelligenc*
that the mate of the brindle ox was dead also." 5 ”
“I thought it quite likely;” said the old man,
“ that he would follow his mate. I alwavs no-

Captain Newton h»d been wounded some five
months before, and 1 id been fefugeeing “np

, Henry P. II., of Sparta, wants to kffow when
i cards were first used ? . . . From the best au-
| thority we have, they were invented in lffilO, to
; divert Charles IV., then King of France, who
was an imbecile, or of a melancholy disposition,
i The cards had a meaning, and all French, in
: fancy. By the “hearts,” are meant choice men
j or ecclesiastics. The “spades” represent the
nobility, or military part of the kingdom; but by
j some ignorance the points of the lances or pikes
: were called “spades,” because they looked a
little like a spade. The “ diamonds ” represent
the merchants and tradesmen, from the square
stone tiles, or the like. The treefoil, or clover-
grass, corruptly called “clubs,” represents farm
ers or peasants. The four kings is that of Da
vid, Alexander, Ciesar and Charlemagne, to rep
resent the four celebrated monarchies of the
Jews, Greeks, llomans and Franks, under Char
lemagne. The queens are intended to rep
resent llegina, queen by descent, Esther, Ju
dith and Minerva; typical of birth, piety, forti
tude and wisdom. The knaves are servants to
the kings, or armor-bearers.
T. D. Y., of Baltimore, says: “In talking one
evening about the age of the world, and the
number of dead, one of the company remarked
that the dead were enough to cover America, if
not the world. AVhat is your opinion about
it ?” . . . Have never figured out such a ques
tion, but will answer by giving you a calcula
tion that has been made on it by a writer in
Illinois to the New York Sun. Allowing 0,000
years and 200 generations from Adam till now,and
the present population of the globe 1,200,000,-
000, the whole number ot deaths must have been
about 120,000,000,000, allowing each generation
to be half as numerous as the present—120,000,-
000,000. Fourteen square feet are sufficient to
bury an adult, three square feet to bury an in
fant, seventeen feet on an average for two per
sons, 32 on a square rod, 3,270,800 on a square
