The Atlantic is a Lethean stream, in our passage over which we have had an opportunity to forget the Old World and its institutions. If we do not succeed this time, there is perhaps one more chance for the race left before it arrives on the banks of the Styx; and that is in the Lethe of the Pacific, which is three times as wide.

	I know not how significant it is, or how far it is an evidence of singularity, that an individual should thus consent in his pettiest walk with the general movement of the race; but I know that something akin to the migratory instinct in birds and quadrupeds--which, in some instances, is known to have affected the squirrel tribe, impelling them to a general and mysterious movement, in which they were seen, say some, crossing the broadest rivers, each on its particular chip, with its tail raised for

	A man is walking along and he sees a little girl looking over the edge of a cliff, crying.
	"Why are you crying?" asked the man
	"My parents were in that car" sobbed the little girl, pointing down at a fiery wreck at the bottom of the cliff.
	"What sort of car is that?" asked the man who unfortunately suffered from Asperger's syndrome and didn't understand the emotional impact of the situation.
