The woman lay like a wearied one, Stretched oat ou a couch, for an evening’s rest, But I was almost ready to swear I saw, A dagger mark on her marble breast. Her upturned face was tbe-violet face Os th* girl I knew in the long ago, And th* eyes of th* corpse were fixed on me, And a wail-like voioe seemed to mutter “wo.” She looked siraight through me, heart and ■ohl, Red-hot and hissing, and stinging deep, And the cursed hag muttered a gibberish slang That rung on my ear till it murdered sleep. I know jnst know she U standing without, Waiting to come with her skeleton white, Bnt I’ve nailed a horse-shoe over my door, And barred my windows and shutters tight A SixgCLab Circumstance,—The Culpepper (Vn.) Observer says: A Fau quier correspondent has written us a letter, from which we give the following current facts: About thirty-five years ago, a lady was interred at Elk Run Church, in a heavy black walnut coffin. The pprth wherein her body was deposited was dry and yellow, as it is for the most part in that locality. Os two bodies buried in the same grave, this 'lady’s was laid deepest in the ground, and there being occasion to remove the bodies owing to the destruction of the grave yard enclosure by «i»o Federal army, the grave was dug up auew ; but to the surprise of the digger, when he had removed the upper coffin, he per. ceived a quantity of hair, that had made its way though the slits and crevices of the coffiu. The lid being taken off, there appeared a perfect rascmblance of a human figure, the eyes, the nose, mouth, ears, and all other parts, being verv distinct, but from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet, it was covered with very long, thick and frizzled hair. The gravedigger after examining it for sometime, happened to touch the upper part of the head ; but was more surprised thßn before, ou seeing the entire body shrink, and nothing at last remained in hi3 hand but a bundle of rough hair, which inseasibly assumed a brownishrgjl. color. #-' ffi (j Professor Rawls is of the opinion that hair, woo!, feathers, nails, horns, teeth, etc., are qothing but vegetables, and that it is not, therefore, surprising to see them grow ou the bodies of animals after their death. He goes so far as to say these productions may be transplanted as veg etables, and may grow on a different place from that where they were first germinated. A Safe Lock.—A new invention called the needle latch, or patent un mistakable lock, has jnst been intro duced in England. It is simple in its construction as it is composed of neither more or less than steel wires—call them needles, if yon like—strung together on two stumps, attached to the miming bolt upon which they revolve, and they re quire to be liAed by the key to a posi tion to admit of their being passed through certain holes in a plate of brass, and thus passing carry the running bolt with them, which carries the real bolt. The needles move obliquely, perpendic ularly, laterally, and indeed, in any di rection ; hence the difficulty in raising all the needles simultaneously to their required positions to run through their own apertures, and escape the many traps set before them in the shape .of a number of holes pierced nearly half way through the fence plate of the exact size to fit the needles. In the more ex pensive latches, as we have only been describing. U»e cheapest ones, there are protectors and detectors. A 811 E Dkvii,.—A female school teacher of Edetißburg, Cambria county, Pa., recently whipped a little child of Mr. John Tilair, until it was hardly able to stand, because tho little fellow refused to sit beside a darkey. The “martn’s” name is “Eliza Jones.” She should be sent to the Massachusetts Legislature to keep company with the two negro fel low* lately elected to that body. CITY DIRECTORY. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
