A Stenneo Occurrence.
A Warren couutycorrespondonco ofthe
Vicksburg Times gives the following ao-
coun t of what bo and his brother saw whon
returning from a lnorry-maklng, about 2
o'clock fa the morning:
“Suddenly n bright light, shollar to tv
bright flash of llghining, but much bright
er, tfcll across the road, nnd, iu ihet, all
around us, and frightened our horse and
caused us to lliluk instantly of highway
men with dark lanterns nnd pistols: hut,
upon looking up to ooo from whenco this
bright light proceeded, wo were notouly
relieved to flud'thal It did not coino from
tho dark lantern of atobber, but wore sur
prised to sco a streak or blaze of lire extend
ing across the heavens from northeast to
southwest, and gradually dying away to-
wni'dstha southwest.
"Tlie.sizo of this great liglitis almost in-
crediblo to relate. Shaped similar to that
of n wedge was a point nt tlto northeast;
at tho butt-end It appeared to bo about tho
si. ;u of a man’s body, gradually going to
apolul. TheHchthad entirely disappear
ed in about two!vo or fifteen seconds.”
TUo rromnlnre Burial.
Tlio Naw York World says: Hardly a
wcok passes that wo do not hear of a pre
mature burial. The story alwnys comes
to us nearly in tho Bavuo sslutpe. A coffin
Is exhumed for one reason and another,
nnd the corpse Is found to have changed
its position, while Iho shroud is torn la
several plncca. Immediately ovory ono
whole cognizant of tbo oveut lumps to the
very unnecessary conclusion that tho coffin
was Interred with a living Inmate, who,
on returning to consciousness, had strug
gled violently, though hopelessly, to es
cape. Now, t lie theory of prematura bu
rial In such cases ns those Is out’rely.gra
tuitous. Evory medical man knows that
tbo gasses generated bv decomposition fi-o-
qucntly act with sufficient foreo not only
to change the position of a corpse after bu
rial but even to burst opon (lie coffin.—
Were the inmates of any largo ccmotcry
to bo exhumed, tho enmo appearances
which are now noccpted ns ovtdcnccs of
premature burial would lie found to exist
in scores of eases; probably, indeed, in tho
majority of Instances tn which the burial
had been sufficiently recent to admit of tho
possibility of detecting any chnngo in tho
position of tho body. Unfortunately this
well-substantiated ihet Is not generally
known oxcopt to scientific men. Conse
quently wo hear continually of premature
burials, which aro certainly among the
most disagreeable ilemBof Hews which ono
can meet, and which bring incalculable
grief and horror to t he friends of tho sup
posed victims. It is not Impossible that
in rare instances some unfortunate person
is buried lieforo Ufa is entirely extinct, bat
to conclade from tbe mere apjicarance of
an oxhamed coffin that tlio inmate has
been tho victim of Buch accident is In tho
highest degree unreasonable and unneces
sary. | •
An Apt Reply.
An old schoolmaster said ono day to a
clergyman who Como to examine his
school, ”1 believe tho children know the
catechism word for word.” “But do
they understand it? Thatisthoqucslion.”
said the clergyman. Tbo schoolmaster
bowed respeclndly, and tho examination
began. A little boy repeated tho fifth
commandment, “Honor thy father and
thy mother,” and ho was desired to cx-
E *'' i it. Instead of trying to do so the
boy, with his facocovored withhlush-
ce, said almost in a whisper, “Yesterday
I showed a strange gentleman over the
inouutain. Tho sharp stones cut my feet,
and tho gentleman saw they Were nlced-
tug, and gavo me money to buy me shoes,
I gavo it to my mother, for she had no
shoes, and I thought I could go barefoot
belter than oho could.”

Boys, in selecting a business by which
to gain a livelihood through life, will do
well to pondor tbo words of Ilorntio Sey
mour before making their choice: “I sco
around me many gentlemen,” lio said in a
recent speech, “wiio like myself, belong to
llic pursuaslon of law. Wo are jealous of
our profession; but gentlemen, let me toll
you, that no lawyer that over lived In tho
pursuit of his profession ever added ono
dollar of wealth to tho country, no ph
clan over did; no preacher over did
hanker ever did. Wo aro useful, X tiuai,
in our several avocations in life; out It is
ourbusluesslo lake advantage of tliomis-
foriuiics and follies of other men, and
when tlioy have earned the dollar to put
in our pockets,” No ono can say Ibis of
the farmer or tho mechanic—tbo noblest
occupation which tho earth affords, nnd
which, followed as they should bo, will
give an upright man that feeling of con
tentment and satisfaction with himself
that lie will not find in tho squabbles of law
or tbo tricks of trade.
