My days among the dead are passed ; Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old ; My never failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day. With them I take delight in weal, And seek relief in woe ; And. while I understand and feel How much to theui I owe. My cheeks have often been bedewed With tears of thoughtful gratitude. My thoughts are with the dead ; with them X live in long past years; Their virtues love, their faults condemn, Partake their hopes and fears; And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the dead; anon My place with them will be. And I with them will travel on Through all futurity; Yet leaving here a name I trust, That will not perish in the dust. "Seeing the Elephant." Some years since, at one of the Philadel phia theaters, a pageant was in rehearsal in which it was necessary to have an elephant. No elephant was to be had. The '"wild Leasts' ' were all traveling, and the property man, stage director and manager almost contracted epilepsy when they thought ot it. Jays passed in the hopeless task or try ing to secure one ; but at last Yankee inge nuity triumphed, as indeed it always does, and an elcimaiitwas made to order, of wood, skins, paint, and varnish. Thus far the matter was all very well : but as yet thev had found no means to make said combina tion travel. Here again the geniuus of the manager, the stage directors and property man stuck out, and two ' "broths were duly installed as lciis. Ned L. , one ut the true and srenuine '"b'hoys," held the station of fore-ies, and fur several nights he plaved that heavy part to the entire satisfaction of the managers and the delight or the audi ence. The part, however, was a very tediou one, as the elephant was obliged to be on the stage about an hour, and Ned was rath er too fond of the bottle to remain so long without "'wetting his whistle," so lie set his wits to work to tind a way to carry a wee drop with him. The eyes of the elephant being made of two porter littles, with the necks in, N'ed conceived the britlianti idea of tilling t hem with good stuff. This he fully carried out ; and elated with success, he willingly undertook to play fbre-l'?gs again. N ight came on the theater was densely crowded with the denizens of the Quaker city the music was played in the sweetest strains the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and the "hind-legs" marched upon the stage.' The elephant was greeted with round upon round of applause. The deco rations and the trappings were gorgeous. The elfphant and the prince seated upon hi back were loudly cheered. The play proceeded ; the elepliant was inarched round and round upon the stage. The fore-legs got dry, withdrew one of the corks and treated the hind-legs, and then drank the health to the audience in a bum per of genuine tleplinnt-cye whiskey, a brand, by the way, till then unknown. On went the play, and on went Ned drinking. The conclusion march was to be made the signal was given, and ibr-legs staggered to wards the front of the stage. The conduc tor pulled the ears of the elephant to the right the fore-legs staggered to the left. The foot lights obstructed the way, and he raised his foot and steppedfdunip into the orchestra ( Down went the fore-legs on to the leader's liddle ; over, of course, turned the elephant, sending the prince and hind- Jegs into the middle ot the pit. ihe mana gers stood horror-struck ; the prince and hind-legs lay confounded, the boxes in con vulsions, the actors choking with laughter. Poor Ned, casting orielook, a strange blend ing of drunkenness, grief, and laughter, at the scene, fled hastily out of the theatre, closely followed by the leader with the wreck of his fiddle, performing variou cut and thrust motions in the air. The curtains dropped on a scene behind the scenes. No more pageant no more fore-legs but eve rybody held their sides. Music, actors, pit, boxes, and gallery, rushed from the theatre shrieking between every breath, Have yon seen the elephant " Hence the origin of this popular interrogatory. A Northern Stonewall Jackson. One morning last week, says the Brooklyn, New York, times, a young farmer from Ogdensburcr, in this State, applied at the office of Oapt. Maddox, No. 23 Grand street, for a place in the Union ranks. The attending surgeon gave a favorable opinion of his physique, and he was accepted. l 1 'hen askei Wihl L,, nVr.L snv ' hi ked to sign his name, he wrote in t.le characters, "Stonewall Jack- son. ihe commissioner asKeci mm u mat, was really his name.

Part of her steerage passengers are supposed to be lost. Her bridge is covered at high water, and the seas are breaking over her. The night was clear, and the Cape Light house iu full view. From James Scott, the Second officer, I learn that all the officers were on deck when me sicamer struck. Jt was hve minutes past eight o cluck, and the watch was bein changed when the shin struck on a rock ami went over. Orders were immediately given to clear away the boats and soon the ship was headed for shore, but shortly afterwards she sunk m four fathoms of water. Boat No. 1, under the care of the boatswains mate, made two trips to the shore, saving on the first trip about eighty persons, and on the second trip about seventy. Boat No. 2, was swamped. Boat No. 3, under charge ot the Second officer, landed about ninety-four persons.

The citizens of Johnstown where horrifi- eu, on rnuay reouary :.otii ry the occur rence of a shocking tragedy in their midst i ni ii .i the parties concerned bein old and influen tial citizens. The particulars of the trage dy are briefly these : Mr. Joseph Moore, auctioneer of Johnstown, on his recent re turn from nine month's service in the army, ascertained that his domestic happiness had been destroyed, it is alleged, by Mr. Jordan Marbourg, a wealthy merchant of the town. On hearing of the intimacy said to exist du ring his absence, between Marbourg and Mrs, Moore, who is represented as prepossessing in appearance and of a gay and dashing dis position, Moore called upon the former, and after an explanation, told him he would shoot hint. Mrs. Marbourg, hearing ot Moore's threats appealed to him not to take her husband's life, but the outraged husband would not listen to her. On Friday morning Moore arose ear ly, and, leaving his house, visited a grocery store near the Post-office, where he remain ed until between eight and nine o'clock, when Marbourg passed by. Moore started out immediately, and caught Marbourg by the collar, saying. liGet down on j our knees ; I am going to kill you. My wife made a 'clean breast of it' last night. She told me all, and gave me a portion of the money which you paid her." Saying this, he drew a revolver and fired the first shot taking effect in the region of the heart Marbourg fell forward, and Moore discharged two balls into his head, and then fired a fourth, which took effect in the left arm. Marbounr fell over and almost instantly expired. Moore walked to a magistrate's office, surrendered himself and was committed to jail to await the action ot the authorities. The deceased man leaves a most estimable wife and eight or nine children the oldest, a son. about twenty years old.

It is the nainful duty of the General Commanding the Divis ion to announce the death, at the hands of the enemy, of Major James II. Larrimer. Acting assistant Inspector General of the Division. Major Laurt.meu entered the ser vice in June 1861, as 1st Lieutenant in the 5th Regiment P. R. V.

A. A. General. Official, Charles It. Ciiamberlix. The Escape of Prisoners. Over one hundred Union prisoners suc ceeded in escaping from Libby prison about two weeks since. A portion of them have arrived at Washington, but many were re captured by the rebels. 1 hey made their escape by passing down a chimney into the cellar and from thence by means of a tun nel which they dug passing under a street to a shed opposite the prison. This escape of Union prisoner? from the Libby Prison in Richmond is one of the fin est episodes of the war. Nowhere in history can a parallel be found for . such a general jail delivery. To this exchange of prisoners the Rebels can have no objections, as the , ghost of all their fears, General Butler, had no visible hand in the matter. The escape, of General Morgan and his companions is east jn the shade by the exploit of Colonel Streight and his gallant associates. Dig-, ging tunnels is a game that both parties can work at, and the Union prisoners have made ' the biggest and the longest, hole yet worked" under ground in the '"Confederacx-." Our soldiers have beaten them i t he field in ev-' ery fair fight with anything like equal num bers, and our prisoner? have beat them digging- ' Nearly one-third of the Population of Panama have died of Small-pox.
