From an interesting autobiography lately issued by Osgood & 00.. of Boston, entitled “ Keel and Saddle,” by Joseph W. Revere, we make two extracts relative to the gallant commander of the Confederate “foot cavalry," Stonewall Jackson. The first relates to events which took place in 1852. Jscxsou’s BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY. Among my fellowâ€"passengers on the steamer was Lieutenant Thomas J. Jackson, of the United States army, who seemed at fi st a remarkably quiet, reserved, although very intelligent otiicer, and with whom I soon became acquainted, for there is way- where a sort of cameraderie amon,r cfficers of the two services which attracts them to each other in a crowd of strangers. For several days the inland voyage continued, and our nights were partly spent upon the hurricane deck of the steamer engaged 1n conversation. HIS BELIEF IN ASTROLOGYâ€"CASTS HIS NATIVITY -â€"TIIE DARK AND SILENT WITNESS OF 1115 DEATH. One of these conversations was so peculiar that it fixed itself in my memory, and sub- sequent events proved it worthy of record, although, I confess, I hesitate to put in writing anything whlch seems to border on the marvelous. One clear, starlight night, as we glided along the calm river,our conversation turned upon the firmament and its countless orbs that looked down upon us. Jackson asked if I had ever been induced to take. a flight from the study of nautical astronomy, prac- ticed by all the naval officers, into the realms of astrology. I replied that I had always been interested more or less in these mathe. matical studies required in nautical calcula- tions; and that, irom the exact rules de- manded for working the various problems of the ephemeris, I_ had sometimes to amuse the idle hours of a. sea life, worked out the nativities of my ship- mates. I had even taden Zadkiel’s Almanac and used his rules, but without believing in the science of judicial astrology. Jackson, however, was not so incredulous, although it was evident that he had not. then decided fully within himself as to the truth or false- hood 01 this exploded science. “ Why,” said he, _-‘ should we be ridiculed for believing in this as in our oecult sciences in this nineteenth century? Magnetism i magnetic somnambulism 1 who shall say that the science of acrostation will not hi.- made practically useful to mankind? Why shoulo not the buoyant and elastic element surrounding our earth be made the vehiCie of transportation from clime to clime for man and his increasing neceosities ? I will go farther, and ask, who can doubt but that it will eventually be so used like its twin element upon vhich we are now afloat? The means of directing those forces which we know exist have not yet been discovered ; but that does not prove that the air will not some day find its Futon or its Watt. The imperfect vision of things often appears to the intelligence before the things themselves. The learned are tree to contess their ignorance, but they should not elevate it into a principle. They may understand and explain an immense number of phenom- ena, but the causes of these oiten entirely escape them, or they are compelled to take them upon trust as insoluble mysteries. Ask these savans the why and the wherefore of the natural actions they investigate, and they assume a solemn air and refer you to the fabulous ages of science. It is much easier to deny any relation of spirits to matter than to demonstrate it. HOW STONEWALL JACKSON DIED. “ 1f the illuminati of the middle ages have not made sciences, at least we cannot deny they have made poetry. Sentiment led them into the sphere of illusion, it is true ; but illusion is often the shadow of truth. Let it be remembered that Kepler was an astrologer. The mathematician Cadinn relates that the events 01 his life were announced to him through dreams, presentiments, and applri- tions, by his familiar genius, and by the movements of the stars. And these were strong-minded men. Even Napolean be lieved in his destiny, and is said to have carried his neliet in the supernatural farther than his historians will admit. Those bright orbs above us are living creatures. Each one of them is animated by a certain in- telligence gifted with forces, and they act directly upon our planet. Each ray of light falling to earth finds its destination in the animate world. Not a living being, not even a. flower, but has its patron and guide on‘high in one of thosesorbs suspended in ether. Why should not this wonderful influence transmitted through space, this communion of souls as it may be called, this correspondence of the spheres, forming,r a uni- versal bond of union, determine also the destinies of the beings they are known to influence? Whenever one of those worlds approaches another, does not each endeavor to draw the other within the spheres of its attraction? And who in this day will deny the Newtonian theory T “ To fortell events, to pierce the heavy mist that conceals from us the secrets of fate, is a. universal longing of the human heart. This longing is lelt in the but of the savage as well as in the palaces oi the great. So fierce and universal a desire must he one of nature’s mysteries. She has already opened our eyes to so many it cannot be that she means to deceive us in this one, “ If we do not read in the great book etern- ally open before us in the skies. as we have already done in that book the leaves of which are in the strata of the earth, it is becausu we have only learned to spell as yet in the alphabet of mystery." Beiore we parted at Pittsburg, a day or two after this conversation, 1 had given Jackson the necessary data for calculating a horo- scope, and in the course of a. few months I received from him a letter, which I preserved, enclosing a. scheme of my nativity. As any one who may have calculated these schemes by the rules must know, a horoscope was be interpreted in various, even contradictory, terms by different persons, and this was no exception to the rule. The only reason I had for remembering it at all was that ‘our destinies seemed to run in parallel lines and so far it was remarLable. It was this peculi- arity that caused Jackson to communicate with me and the reason why I laid it care- fully aside for a re-examination. These several planets were placed in their respective houses above and below the hori- zon, and Saturn being near the meridian and approaching a. square with the moon, great danger was to be apprehended by the native at the period when the aspect became complete; Mars also bore a threatening as- pect, while Jupiter was below the horizon and semiasextile, which was not altogether unfavorable. There was no triue and the sextiie was weak. Altogether, from the evil aspect ot the square of Saturn, which threat. ened an oppositionâ€"that must dreaded of all the evil aspects of the heavensâ€"the scheme was quite dangerous and malign. The precise time and nature of the threat- ened danger, requiring a second calculation, accompanied the scheme, prognosticatin‘g the culmination of the malign aspect within some ten years, 0- during the first days of May, 1863, at which time the native ran great risk of life and fortune; but, in case he survived that peril, the ominous ptriod would never again recur. In his letter Jackson says: “I have gone over these caiculations several times, as their result is almost. an exact reproduction of my own. * * * It is clear to me that we shall both be exposed to a common danger at the time indicated.” Having but little faith in the almost for- l gotten and altogether repudiated science of ‘ astrology, I tool; little heed of either his scheme of nativity or his letter, regarding the latter as ingenious, but as merely a prool of an ardent and somewhat enthusiastic tem- ‘ perament, while I little imagined at that: time that the rather unpolished and rugged exterior of Lieutenant Jackson concealed a, character destined to become tamous among his countrymen. . The seéétfiigitract relates to the sad cir- cumstances attending Manson's DEATH. I served in the army until after the battle of‘ Chancellorsvilie; participating in all its important engagements and the greater part of the Limo commanded a. brigade. At the battle above named I was an involuntary witness of an event which had an important bearing on the issue of the war, and which has been a subject of prolonged controversy. I refer to the death of stonewall Jackson. The circumstances under which I acquired the right to give testimony in 1he matter were somewhat remarkable, and I here give a. full statement of them : » The left of my brigade‘ line lay near the plank rorid at Chancellorsville,and after night had fallen I rode forward,accordiug to my in- variable habit, to inspect my picket line. The moon had risen and partially illuminated the woods. I began my inspection on the right of the picket line, progressing gradually to the left, where I stopped to rectity the post of a sentinel not far from the plank road. While thus engaged I heard the sound of hoois from the direction of the enemy’s line and paused to listen. Soon a cavalcade appeared, approaching us. The foremost horseman detached himself from the main body, which halted not far from us, and riding cautiously near secrmd to pierce the gloom. He was so close to us that the soldier nearest me leVeled his rifle for a shot at him; and I forbade him, as I did not wish to have our position revealed, and it would have been useless to kill the man, whom I judged to be a staff officer making a rcconnoissance. Having completed his observation, this person iejoined the group in his rear, and all returned at a. gallop. The clatter of boots soon ceased to be audible, and the silence of the night was unbroken, save by the melancholy cries of the whippoorwill, which were heard in one continued wail, like spirit voices,when the ho:izon was lighted up by a sudden flash in 'he direction of the enemy, succeeded by the wellâ€"known rattle of a volley qufikly followed the first, and I heard cries in the same direction. Fearing that some of our troops might be in that locality, and that there was danger of our firing upon friends, I left my orderly and rode towards the Confederate lines. A riderlers horse dashed past me towards our lines, and. I reined up in presence of a group of several persons gathered around a man lying on the ground apparently badly wounded. 1 saw at oncethat these were con- fcdcrate officers,and visions of the Libby be- gan to fill; through my mind; but, reflecting that I was well armed and mounted, andihat I had on tLe great coat of a. private soldier; such as were worn by both parties ; I sat still, regarding the group in silence, but prepared to use either my Spurs or my sabre, its occa- sion might demand. The. silence was broken by one of the con- fcderates, who appeared to regard me with astonishme=-t; then, speaking in a. tom of authority, he ordered me to “ ride up then: and see what troops those were," indicating the rebel position. I instantly made 13 ger- ture of assent and rode slowly in the dime- tion indicated until out ofsight of the group, then made a circuit round it and returned within my own lines. Just as I had an. swered the challenge of our picket, the sec- tion of our artillery posted on the plank road began firing, and l could plainly hear the grape crashing through the tre< s near the spot occupied by the group of confeder- ate officers. About a fortnight afterwards I saw aRich- mond newspaper at tlfe camp at Falmouth, in which were detailed the circumstances at the death of Stonewall Jackson. These lelt no doubt in my own mind that the poison I had seen lying on the ground was that. officer, and that his singular prediction, men- tioned previously in these pages, had been- verified. n:mThe following is an extract from the news- papt-r account : ‘- General Jackson, having gone some dis- tance in front of his line on Saturday (ven- ing, was returning home about eight o‘clock, attended by his 5181f. The cavalcade was, in the darkness, mistaken for a. body of the enemy’s cavairy, and fired upon by uregi- ment of his own corps." Then, after dl‘tfliliD-g what took place after the General fell from his horse, the account proceeds : l"l‘he turnpike was utterly deserted, with the exception of captains Wilhourn and Wynn; but in the skirting of thicket on the left, some person was observed by the side of the wood, sitting on his horse, motionless and silent. The unknown individual was clad in a dark dress which strongly resem- bled the federal unitorm ; but it seemed im- possible he could have penetrated to that spot without bring discovered, and what followed seemed to prove that. he belonged to the confedemtes. Capt. Wilbourn direct- ed him to ride up there and see what troops those wereâ€"the men who fired on Jackson â€"and the stranger rode slowly in the ('irec- tlon pointed out, but never returned with any answer. 'Who this silent Rersonage was is left. to posterity,” &c.â€"chhmond Inquirer, Mai/12, 1863. Jackson’s dwth happened in strange co- incidL-nce with this horoscopic pn diction made years before; but the coincidence was, I believe, merely fortuitous, and I mention it here only to show what, mysterious givings out we sometimes experience in lite. If you have a good thingâ€"advertise it. If you hava don”t. Judicious advertlsing always pays. Large type isn’t necessary in advertising B‘ir (1 folks don"t read newspapersh Don’t'be afraid to invest in printer’s ink, lags}; your sand§ of life be nearly run out. Never run down your opponent’s goods in pubfic. Let him do his own advcrusiug. Let your advertisements have something ofa. dash 1n tlxen1,with0ut great exaggeraâ€" tion. It is as true oi advertising as of anything else in the worldâ€"if it is worth doing at all, it is worlhr doing well. No bull can ring 50â€"well as a good adver- tisement. People will belie“: what they see rather than what they hear. Hand-bills add circulars are good of their kind, but they cannot take the place of news- paper gdycrtisemcnts. V 7 Injudicious advertising is like fishing Where there’s no fish. You need to let the liries fiallwin the right place. Small advertisements, and plenty of them, is a good rule. We were all babies once, yet we made considerable noise. When you advertise, see that you do it on the same principle that you buy goods. Get the most you can for the money. We doh’t recommend advcvrtising as the best way to get a wife ; but we know that. it is ghe best way to get a good trade. People whd adv'ertiseV only once in three months forget that most folks can’t remem- ber anything longer than aboufi seven days. If ybu areâ€"use cfiriosity by an advertisemeht, it is a great point gained. The fair sex don’t, hold all the curiosity in the world. A conitmt droppihg will wear a. rock. Keep dropping your advertisements on the publH and they will soon melt under it like rock salt. Quitting advatising in dull times is like tearing out a. dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good times from ever cozping. “ Dull'times,” it is said, “are the best for advertisers.” Because then money is tight, and people are iorced to economize, they :11- ways read the advertisements to ascertain who sells the cheapest, and where they can trade to the best advantage. COMFOR’J'AHLE’ HY JUVE, AND ALL THAT SORT OF THINGâ€"AN AMERICAN’S EXPERIENCE. [Dresden Correspondence of the Frankfurt, American Newsq ” I’m going to turn in,” said Simpson, with an abysmal yawn. “ By George! I shall be glad to get a. good, sound, comfortable sleep at last! This cur-heat sleeping has qpout The {Science of Advertising: German Beds. played me out. Awful jolly bed, that of mine! ” he continued, as he scratched an in- effectual match (every fourth match lights in Germany, on an avorage). “ None of your broad, sprawling things, that you can lie crossways and diagonal in, out just a nice, comfortable little berth, such as suits me to death. Come in and look at it, Be], old boy!” he added, as he lighted his candle with his seventh match. Now, I have been in Germany before, and 1 know something about German beds ; and I also know that my brother-inâ€"law was ra- ther taller than the usual height, and one of those lean angular fellows who stretch out a good way in various directions. Putting these two items of knowledge together, I arose with alacrity and followud his sleepy steps into his chamber. “A splendid bed, sure enough, my dear fel- low," remarked I, walking up to it and pat- ting it approvineg on the post ; and truly it did look very inviting. Narrow, certainly, but snug and neat, strongly constructed of some plain varnished wood,and graced by a sort of Open work quilt, or antiâ€"macassar spread all over it, and hanging in picturesque folds over ouch end. Indistinctly visible through this were the swelling p'illow and the white nicety of the coverlet. Yes, it was very at- tractive, and. my brother~in-law, who was standing at the looking-glass unfestening his short studs, made all the haste he could, yawning and blinking in delicious anticipa- tion of an uninterrupted and refreshing sleep. In an astonishingly short time he stood ready robed as a. priest of Morpheus, and advancing to the bedside, he wisked off the open-work quilt and looked down with rapturous contemplation upon the smooth, white plain. The pillow was slightly disar- ranged, and he grasped [it to put it in posi- i tion. It shrank like thin air in his clutch.” “ Hello! feathers! and not half full at that i” cried he, squeezing it together in his hands with some dismay, .He likes a pretiy solid pillow, does SimpSon. But having made up his mind that. he was going to be comforlabie, he would not, in my presence at least, allow anything to the contrary. ‘I You can double m up, you know, once, or even twice,” remarked I, cncouragingly, “Beside, what’s a pillow 7 Your head will be high enough without it.” “ Yesâ€"thew does seem to be something under them,” said my brother-in-law ; “what: is it?" He turned back the mattrers-sheet as he spoke,and pulled out a. solid wedge- liku object, something the shape of a. thick prism or cheese, covered with ticking, and quilted Mk) a mattress. “Now, that’s what: I call an ideal” ox- claimed he, eloquently. “ Way ahead of anything in the bolster 0r pillow line at home! Right shape, already cut out, no moze trouble, and the pillow on top, to take the hard off I” With these expressions of approval: and replacing the Wedge in its proper position, my brolllerâ€"in-law ,drew the sheet over it one»: more, put: the pillowâ€"flattened out as much as possibleâ€"over all, and then‘ pre- pared to throw back: the coverlet. I leaned torward with some interest. to watch (his ppemtion. “ Rather thick ior summer, thatl”mut- tered he, as he felt dubioust ofitsinch-thic:k waddiug. H5 is of ralher a sanguine and nervous t« mpemment, is my brother-inâ€"Iaw, and hardly uses a comfortm even in mid- winter. “ But I can throw it off and sleep under the sheet alone, 01' the sheet and blanket, yog know," 1y: mid. I remained silent, and he proceeded 10 turn back the covquet over tue foot of the bed. Then he came to a. sudden pause, rub- bed his chin, and cast a side-glance at me. Neither sheet not blanket were to be seen. “ That’s queer now! Ah 1 1 seeâ€"yesâ€" prttty good! Bed not made up yet, eh? It is rather early to turn in. that’s a fact,” said fiimpson, smiling with no very good grace. “Just touch that bell, will you, old fellow”â€" “No use in that; brother-in-law," I re- turned, good humoredly, smiling upon him with beuignity. “Bud’s as much made as it ever is or can be. Don’t have sheets and blankets in Germany, you know." “You have them all three combined in this fine thing.” returned I,dircciing my brother- in-law’s attention to in. hYou gee it’s made on the principle of a. pillow and pillow case. This white outside covering is a bag, and that’s the comforter inside. Never get’s dis- arrangedâ€"always there. .lt’s as good an idea an the bolster; don’t you think so T” “Come, that cock won’t fight i” exclaimed Simpson, incredulously, but sinking down upon the bed with a rather flabbcrgasted expression; “No sheets or blankets! why, what the devil do they expect a fallow to do here 7" ‘ “Phewl and the bug’s taken oif and washed every month, I Euppuse," said Simpson, in a tone which he strove in vain to make as genial as mine. “Oftener, no doubt; once a Ibl‘tni4btâ€"0r a week even, perhaps. The comforter itself, of course, never needs washing." “Of course not,” assented by brother-in- law, taking an involuntary sniff of it, how. ever. He’s absurdly particular about having anything fresh from the wash-tub, is Simp- son. Without more words he got into bcd, quite as sleep, if not entirely as cheerful, as earlier in the evening. lie wormed himself uneasily around for a few moments, and pulled the coverlct over his shoulders. His feet ap- peared below, seeking vainly for their share. - “Tuck In there tamâ€"the bbttom, can’t you, Bel 7" he” said at last a little irritably. “Pleasure I” replied 1, and suffud it in ac- cordingly, as tirghfias iprwopld go. “ Hold on! hold on I" cried my unrsason- able brotherâ€"imlaw, giving it a. vicious tug that quite undid my work ; “you’ve pulled it down off my shoulders.” “Look hera, Simpson,” expostnlat:d I, mildly, “ you can’t have your feet covered and your shouiders, too. No one doesin Germany. Chuose which, and I’ll fix you ; but don’t ask impossibilitius, you know." “ Uonfouud the ‘thingl I won’t have it either way! I’ll' Sleep without anything 1” and as the coverlet slid gracefully off on the floor, he fnlded his arms tightly,‘ dug his head into the pillow, and stretched out his furlorn fzet. They came into contact with the bare foot-board in a way that startled my brother-in-law. “ What on earth I" he growlsd, turning quite red in the face, and raising himself on one elbow. “You don’t mean to say these beadsfeada aren’t long enough to lie straight in 7 Can’t be! this one looked seven or eight feet at least.” “ That’s because it’s so narrow," explained I scientlfically. “ But it‘s long as any in the house, or in town either, for that matter Try getting your head a little nearer the top." Simpson tried to shuffle up as I directed,’ but the inclined plane of the wedgeâ€"shaped bolster caused him speedily to slip down again. And the bed, though an unusually long one, could not have been over six feet six. My brother-inuaw lay 10} kbout a minute in sullen silence. At last he gave a great kick, and salt} : . “Might just as well tell me to 1i.n on the roof and keep my leet out of the gutter,” grumbled he, after several ineffectual endea- vors to relieve his toes at, the expense of his crown. “It’s this infernal slippery bolster thingl Why can’t they make them 1n 3 civilizcd style, like they are at home 'I By George, I won’t sleep in it anyway ;” and he wrathiully gjected it. But it left an awful hollow, which the pillow, with its half measure of Iugitivc feathers, was quite inadequate to fill. What a sorry and forlorn spectacle did the lately attractive couch now present. “I tell you what,” said Sampson, in a low, menacing tone, rising with compresmd lips and glittering eyes ; “I'll tell you what, Bet); you may think you've got the laugh on me, but 1'11 tell you what I'm going to do." Here his feet came in contact With the bare floor (they have no carpets in Germany). “ I’m just going to take the mattrass out of the bedstead and put it down on the floor and sleep on it. I can fix up an extension i1. low with an overcoat or something, an I “Nothing it’s a firstâ€"rate idea, as far as the feet gu,’ replied I, retiring cautiouz-ly toward the door as I spoke. “I think you’ll have to do without the mattress, though. They’re alwnys fastened into the bedstead in Germany, and i lyou want to take them out you have toget a wrench, or a bed-key, or something of that kind, and take the bed all to pieces firit. However, you may lay the coverlet on tie floor and lie on that,and make a. pillow outoi anything. And put on your clothes again, I would, especially your boots, for the nighzs here are very cool, and there are awful draughts under the doors. Andâ€"- good night,” 1 added, deftly intercepting one of my brother-in-law’s slippers with the door, behind which I by this time stood. “Good night, anu unbroken restl my dear boy.
