Buried Alive.
I had been some time ill of a low and
lingering fever. My strength gradually
wasted, but the scenes of my life seemed to
become more and more acute as my cor-
Eoreal powers - became weaker. I could see
y the looks of the doctor that he despair*
ed of my. recovery, and the soft and whis
pering sorrow of my friends taught me that
I had notliftig to hope.
One day towards evening the crisis took
place. 1 was seized with a stactngo and in
describable quivering—a rushing sound
was in my ears—l saw round my- couch
innumerable strange faces- they were
bright and visionary and without bodies.
There was light and solemnity, and I
trietj to move but could not. For a short
time a terrible confusion overwhelmed,me,
and when it passed off all my .recollection
"ness, but the power of lnofitiirhadTdoparU
ed. I heard the sound of weeping at my
pillow, and the voice of the nurse say,
“He is dead.” I eannoT describe what I
felt at these words. I exerted my utmost
power of volition to stir myself, but could
not move even an eyelid. After a short
pause my friend drew near, and sobbing
and convulsed with grief drew Iris hand
over my face and closed my eyes. The
world was then darkened, but I could still
hear, and feel, arid sutler.
When my eyes were closed I heard by the
attendants that my friend had left the
room, and I soon after found that the un
dertakers were preparing to habit me in
the garments of the grave. Their thought
lessness. was more awful than the grief of
my friends. They laughed at one another
as they turned me from side to side, and
treated xvhat they believed a corpse with
the utmost appalling ribaldry.'
When they laid me out these wretches
retired, and the degrading formality of af
fected mourning commenced. For three
days a number of friends called to see me.
1 heard them in low accents speak of
I was; and more than one touched me
with his linger. On the third day soriie of
them talked of the smell of corruption in
the room.
The coffin was procured ; I was lifted and
laid in; my friend placed my head on what
was deemed its last pillow, and 1 felt his
tears drop on my .face!
When all who had any particular inter
est in me had for a short time lookod at me
in the coffin, I heard them retire, and the
undertaker’s men placed the lid on the
coffin and screwed it down. There were
two present; one had occasion to go away
before the task was done. 1 heard the fel
low-who was left begin to whistle as he
turned the screw-nails, but lie checked
himself and completed liis work in silence.
I was then left alone ; every one shunned
the room, I knew, however, that I was
not buried, and though darkened and mo
tionless, I had still hope; but this was -not
permitted long. The day of interment ar
rived—l felt the coffin lifted and borne
away; I heard and felt it placed in the
hearse,.some of them spoke sorrowfully of
me. The hearse began tu move; I knew
that it carried me to the grave. It halted,
and the coffin was taken out —I felt my
self carried on the shoulders of men, by
the inequality of the motion, A pause en
sued; I heard the cords of the coffin moved
—I felt it swing as depended by them. It
was lowered, and rested on the bottom of
the grave. The cords were dropped upon
the lid —I heard them fall. Dreadful was
the etiort I then made to exert the powers
of action, but my whole frame was immo
vable.
Boon after a few handsfull of earth were
thrown upon the colli n. Then there was
another pause—after which the shovel was
employed, and the sound of the rattling*
mould, as it covered me, was far more tre
mendous than thunder. But I could make
no effort. The sound gradually became
less and less; and, by a surging reverbera
tion in the coffin, I knew that the grave
was filled up and that the sexton was tread
ing in the earth, slapping the grave with
the flat side of his spade. This, too, censed,
then all was silent.
I had no means of knowing the lapse of
time, and the silence continued. This is
death, thought 1, and I am doomed to re
main in the earth until the resurrection.
Presently the body will fall into corrup
tion, and the epicurian worm that is only
satisfied with the flesh of man will come
and partake of the banquet that lias been
prepared n>r him with so much solicitude
and care. In contemplation of this hid
eous thought I heard a low and undersound
in the earth over me, and fancied that the
worms and reptiles of death .were coming
—that the mole and the rot of the grave
would soon be upon me. The sound con
tinued to grow lender and hearer. Can it
be possible, I thought, that my friends sus
pect they have bnrieil me too soon ? The
hope was like light bursting through the
gloom of death.' s
The sounds ceased ; and presently I felt
the hands of some dreadful beingAvorlcing
about my throat. They dragged me out of
the coffin by the head. I felt again the.
living air, but it was cold, and I was car
ried swiftly away —I thought to judgment,
perhaps to perdition.
When borne to some distance I was then
thrown like a clod—it was not upon tire
ground. A moment after I found myself
in a carriage; and, by interchange of some
brief sentences, I discovered that I was in
the liandb of those robbers who live by
plundering the grave and selling the bod
ies of parents and children ami friends.
One of the men sung snatches and scraps
of obscure songs as the cart rattled along
over the pavement of the streets.
When it halted I was lifted out, and I
soon perceived, by the closeness of the air
and tne change of temperature, that I was
carried into a room, and being rudely
stripped of my shroud I was placed naked
on a table. By the conversation of the
two fellows with the servant who had ad
mitted them, T learned that I was that
night to be dissected.
My eyes were still shut; I saw nothing;
but in a short time I heard, by the bustle
in the room, that the students in ap atomy
were assembling. Borne of them came
around the table and examined me minute
ly. They were pleased to find so good a
subject had been procured. The demon
strator himself at last came in.
Previous to beginning the.dissection he
proposed to try on me some galvanic ex
periment, and an apparatus was arranged
for that purpose. The first shock vibrated
through all my nerves; they rang and jin*
Sled like the strain of a harp. The stu
ents expressed their admiration at the
convulsive offset. Thrsecond shock threw
my eyes open ; and the first person that I
saw was the doctor who attended me. But
still I was dead. I could, however, dis
cover among the students the faces with
whom I was familiar; and when my eyes
were opened I heard rny name pronounced
by several of the students with an accent
of awe and compassion, and wish that it
had been some other subject.
When they had satisfied themselves with
the galvanic phenomena, the demonstra
tor took the knife and-'pierced me in the
bosom with the point, 1 felt a dreadful
crackling, as it were, throughout my whole
frame ; a convulsive shuddering instantly
followed, and a shriek of horror rose from
•all present. The ice of death was broken
up; my trance ended. The utmost exer
tions were made to restore me, and in yie
course of an hour I was jn the full posses
sion of all my faculties.

A Queer Letter—J. Wilkes Booth
Redivivus.
The Norfolk Post contains the following
singular letter:
Morehead Qity, Jan. 5,1866.
Editor oj the Norfolk Tost: Sir : I have
just arrived at th is place from , Where
I saw and talked ivith J. Wilkes Booth,
the supposed assassin of your late Presi
dent. That he Avould be aUye’ after what
had occurred at your Capital, may be
strange, but it is true nevertheless.
I saw him and B. Harrjs, who left Avifclu
him not four Aveeks ago, and learned fronw
him all the hardships tlpit he underwent
in leaving this country. He says that no
one, Arho has the least regard for truth,
Avill say that he was in Ford’s Theatre on
the night of the. 14th of April last, and
wonders AAdiy no bne present on that occa
sion did not pretend to recognize the man
that shot Lincoln until they were told
that it was hum by Laura Keene, hjs bit
ter eneroy. j Ho did- not, however, to me,
r flwithaSr
say, of their own knowledge, that it watf
ihim.
He declares that Mrs. Surratt was inno
cent, and Avonders how the man that was
killed in the barn looked. He learned
from the papers that hejuida heavy beard,
and had sheared or cut jit in 9uch an awk
ward maimer that his (Booth’s) most inti
mate friends would not recognize him as
Booth. He thinks not, , He believed, in
nocent or guilty, that if found, he would
have been sacrificed to their mad fury,
and concluded to leave, which he did.
And as there can noAV be no harm in tell
ing, I Avill state Avliat he told me—omit
ting names.
He crossed the river at GeorgetoAvn;
stopped the next day at Fairfax Court
House; the next day he was taken near
Middleburg, etc., there near
Gum Springs, av here lie remained twojlay;
and after more than three weeks’ traveling
—mostly by night, and suffering severely—
he reached Florida, Avliere was detained
for some time, until Harris, Avho was not
mentioned in the affair, and Avho could
not appear publicly, procured a boat,
which they ventured to sea in, and made
land safe. Booth Avas immediately taken
sick, and has been most of the time since.
In October he was much better, so much
so that he took some exercise in the open
air, but relapsed and was confined to his
room until about four weeks ago. His con
stitution, in my judgment, is ruined, and
I don’t believe he Avill liA r e long. He AV’as
preparing for a change of climate, and if
no relapse has taken place, is probably uoav
in another country, where lie will meet
Avith more of lifsjiWn people, or people
from' the same country.
Mr. Editor, I poor English,
that I fear you will not be able to make it
out; but it is the truth, the Avhole truth,
and if you Avish you may publish it. I
shall not be in the country to read it.
Yours truly, J. F.

the following from an address delivered

New Ybrk : ' '
“It is the simplest thing in the world to
write one. Reuben Tarbutton goes soldier
ing (the bounty in Reuben’s district, I
remark, was $1,500) and leaves Nellie Doo
little disconsolate. Nellie devotes herself
to knitting stockings for the negro troops
which, of course, takes place in the very
middle of tho deadly breach. Nellie, there
upon, having dried up her tears on her
apron, concludes to soothe- Rpubcn's de
parted spirit by ministering to his compan
ions who are left behind, and forthwith
becomes an army nurse. Finally, she hap
pens to be wandering through the wards
of a strange hospital, hears a fa
miliar voice exclaiming, “Oh! that I could
but see Nellie, and die happy!” She
bounds forward, tears back the curtain,
there isa simultaneous squeal—“ Reuben!”
and these two pure-hearted
young beings are locked ip each other’s
arms. Os course, Reuben wasn’t killed at
all. The story was invented by a base
Copperhead, who was his rival, and hadn’t
pluck enough to go to the war. He was
merely wounded by a twenty-inch cannon
ball in the chest —soon gets on his legs—
they are iiiarried —settle down in a neat
cottage, with an iligible onion patch at
tached—are blessed with a brood of healthy
young« Abolitionists, who come by twins,
and (here the moral sneaks in) are steady
purchasers of all the stuff the Harpers
print.”

full. “Certainly,” replied the Pope, “con
demn them as you must do all other secret

NEARER HOME. .1 ....
One sweetly solemn thought,
Came to me o'er and o’er,
I’m nearer home to-day
Than e’er I was before.
Nearer my father’s home,
Where many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne, , .
• s Nearer the jasper sea.
fearer the bounds of life, *
I' Where we lay our burdens doWh,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer taking the crown.
But lying dark between,
Looming up through the night,
Is the dim and unknown stream.
That leads at last to light; ‘f;. ~~ ;
Close and closer my feet,
Draw tothe .dark abyss,
Father, perfect iny trust,
Strengthen my faltering faith,
That I may not fear to stand
On the rocky shore of Death.
[From the Louisville Sunday Democrat.
THE SISTERS.
These three blossoms graced one parent
stem.
And lovingly together grew;
The links of love that circled them,
Were fetters sweet and kind and true.
/*
She first has bloomed a perfect flower,
In odor sweet, in color fair ;
The graceful mistress of her bower,
She smiles on all who enter there.
A half-blown rose the next appears,
Soft, graceful moss her beauty shades,
As fresh and sweet as dewy tears
That gently fall as twilight fades.
The last, a bud of promise fair,
Just opening to the breath of spring, *
So delicate, so sweetly rare,
How could I dare its praise to sing?

An Actress Captures a Broker and
$17.000. —The latese New York scandal is
that of the elopement of a broker with an
actress. The World says:
For vsome time back it is alleged that
the broker referred to has been on a foot
ing of intimacy with a well-known French
actress, noted for her love of money, jewels,
and fine dress—articles which were pro
cured, it is alleged, at the expense of her
male friend. The lady in the case is ex
ceedingly beautiful in person, with the
complexion of a peach, and magnificent
dark hair and eyes. In principle She is
very mercenary, and, it is said has amass
ed a large fortune since her advent in this
country from Paris. Several wealthy
gentlemen, well known in business cir
cles in this city, have, held, during the
last two years, the same relations to this
facinating French damsel as the unfortu
nate broker, now in the foils of this mod
ern Delilah.
Every afternoon she was in the habit of
making her appearance, like another
anohyma or Skittles on Broadway, mag
nificently attended, and in a handsome
equipage, drawn by a spirited pair o#
bays, the gift of a venerable and devoted ad
mirer of hers. Her portrait in a low
necked dress, with a fan and nosegay of
ponderous dimensions, is on exhibition in
all the leading photographic galleries on
Broadway, and she is universally known
to the bloods who have money to throw
away, and the men about town who prefer
to admire without allowing themselves to
be drawn into the dangerous but fascinat
ing whirlpool. On Friday last this charm
ing young lady left New York for Havre,
by the steamer Europa, with the intention
of spending a few months in the French
capital, with which she is perfectly ac
quainted. It is alleged that the unfortun
ate broker had made an appointment to
leave in the same steamer witli the fair
enchantress, but was prevented by busi
ness engagements from keeping the ap
pointment. It is now known that he
sailed by a later steamer, and will Join his
inamorata as soon Q s possible.
Good Tidings prom thb Oil Regions.
—A telegram was received from Burkes
ville yesterday, stating that a copious
stream of genuine petroleum had been
flowing from the well, lately sunk by the
Tennessee and Cumberland Company, for
twelve hours up to Tuesday afternoon, and
was still flowing when the messenger
mounted horse and started for the tele
graph office at Burkesville. Dr. Heguom
bourg, on behalf of the company, was ran
sacking the entire city yesterday for bar
rels in which to shifi.the greasy fluid, and
was purchasing evely thing available for
that purpose. Stocks in the company im-.
proved fully 100 per cent, in consequence
of the intelligence, and the excitement
among “men of oil” is intense. Thus the
ball moves on, and ere many months, our
people will wake up to the fact that we
have in our midst an oil region as large
and rich as the far-famed fields of Penn
sylvania.—Nashville Gazette.
The Richmond Times says: A few
mornings since we noticed at the first
marketftwo beautiful, well dressed fe
males, young in years, from Powhatan
county, who had driven a wagqn from
horde loaded with produce, whfeh they
were offering for sale. The ladies were of
high respectability—and before the war
were in affluent circumstances. Their ef
forts to gain a livelihood by their own ex-,
ertions should servo as an examine for
manv young girls ytfio are too proud to do
any other work than that whim is of the
most agreeable character.
The Cit«fcf Mexico is better supplied
with water than any' city in the world.—
It has two immense aqueducts—one seven

very heart of tire city; thence by arteries it
is distributed in every direction. There
are also numerous artesian wells in the
city and its suburbs. By boring an aver
age depth of eighty feet the water rises sev
eralfeet above the surface of the earth, and
flows in a very bold stream.
