What legions of '‘friends” always bless us,
When golden success lights oar way 1
How they smile as the. softly address us,

And cry out, in tones of severity :

A Collector’s Story.
“Good-bye, dear,” I said, aftor I
had put on my coat and gathered
up the reins.
She took hold of my wrist and do
! tained me.
i “ ait a moment, John,”
Then she called to Mack, my great
Newfoundland dog, and he came out
of the house, and, ut a motion from
her, jumped into the sleigh and curl
ed himself ut my feet.
He was a noble fellow, my brave
Mack I really flunk there never
was such another dop 1 had
brought him all the way from New
Hampshire, and we had grown to
fool perfectly secure ti the house
with him, so watchful and faithful
was the noble dog; hut it never oc
curred to me to take him on this
trip in a sleigh.
“Belle,” I said, “you are a silty
girl. The dog will only be a both
eration to me, and ten to one you’ll
want him here before l got back. 1 ’
“Now, John, please do take kiln
—tor me! Please do take him,
John—take him, just because your
silly little wife is afraid to have you
go w ithout him.”
, Of eourso the girl had iter way.
I was never able to understand how
a man can resist this- kind oi • per
son-ion. 1 nevor could, and never
expect to. So I kissed her and chir
ruped to Chevalier, and he bounded
aw ay through the settlement liko
an arrow.
It was the dead of winter and an
unusually heavy snow had fallen,
filling in the roadway to the depth
of four feet. There hud been travel
enough to pack it hard, so that I
found the sleighing excellent. Che
valier’s hoofs glanced nimbly over
tho snow, and in two hours 1 hail
made more than twenty milos, and
had reached the substantial log cab
in of one of our best, and most intel
ligent custome s. He received me
with a hoarty welcome, end when I
told him what my mission was, he
invited mo to make his cabin my
beudquarters while I romained in
the neighborhood. I thankfully ac
cepted the invitation, stayed all
night, and tjio next morning, under
the guidance of Dick, my host’s
youngest son, a clever hoy of about
thirteen I started out to make my
first experiment in collecting. It
docs not concern my story to do
scribe everything that happened to
me during my stay with our friend,
which lasted rather more tlrna a
week.
When I began to realize that I
had collected about as much money
as my employer expected from this
trip, I sat down to count it up. 1
bad been out all day, and it was now
just at theedgeof the evening. Sup
per was almost read), and 1 made up
my mind that if my portmanteau
contained as mueh as I thought, I
would only wait to appease my
hunger before returning to the set
tlement. 1 poured out the money
on the floor, and counted it. It was
all in gold and silver, for bank-notes
would have been despised among ms
then, and there was the sum of
eleven h ndred and seventy-three
dollars. They wore all sorry to have
me go, and made me promise to
come again and bring my wife be
fore the winter was gone. I pul on
ray coat and muffled up my ears, ami
started.
The sleighing was still excellent;
the night was clear and cold, and
tho full moon made it as bright as
day. We skimmed along for a mile
or two, my thoughts all the time on
Belle and the happy meeting we
would have in ajjttle time, when the
extraordinary conduct of Mack at
tracted my attention. He had been
lying quietly at y feet, with the
rug which enveloped them also cov
ering him. He. suddenly shook it
off, growled savagely, and began to
smell around tho bottom of the
sleigh.
Had it been summer time, I really
believe I should bave thought the
animal was going mad. Never bo-

fore did I see him behave thus ; and
his conduet troubled mo so that I
shouted to Cfevalier, and we skim
med away faster. About sixty rods
ahead I saw a tall blasted tree,
which 1 had bo n told was half-way
from the settlement to Mr.'ljelkirk’s,
aud, pulling out my wat,rji to ob
serve the time, I saw sur
prise that I had been an jjuur and
three-quarters coming twelve miles,
j L think I was never so a-tonished in
my life. The capacities of Chevalier
were so well-known to me, and I
was so sure t at his ordinary gait;
without the frequent urging I had
given him, would carry Mack ami
mo a mile in six minutes, mile after
mile, that I Could not comprehend
that ho had been so slow, while ap
parently traveling fast. I called to
him aguin,und ho stepped off srnar -
ly ; the dog growled, aud, 1 am
I heartily ashamed o say it, I kicked
him hard in my unreasonable angor.
j I hud cause to repent of those kicks
before another ten minutes had
gone.
I passed the blasted tree, and en
tered upon (lie last half of the way.
Before me now lay a lonir, level
stretch of road, without an obslru -
tion or turn for si Vernl miles, and
one dazzling white surfaco of snow
upon it. 1 looked out ahead, and
just as far as I could see to dis
tinguish anything from the snow,
probably not less than n mile away.
1 saw a black speck. It did not hold
!my attention when I first saw it;
1 but as Chevalier sped on, rapidly
devouring the distance, it took form
| und size, until when Within thirty
j rods of it, I could plainly see that it
i was a man. There he stood, upright
jin the middle of the roud, without
i speech or motioti, appa ently wait
! lug,
Was he waiting for me ? Did lie
know that 1 was coining with eleven
hundred dollars in cash in a port
manteau at my feet? And, if so,
what would he do ? For the first
time since my absence fri in the sot
dement I began to (eel nervous, and
thought It would only he safe to
take i ut my pistols and irtive
ready. I fell in my right-hand over
coat pocket, and found nothing; 1
felt in the left one, and found noth
ing. They had both been removed,
and at Selkirk’s. I was certain - 1
had them whon I returned there at
night.
A hofriblo suspicion of intended
murder and robbery flashed upon
me; and here I- was stripped of my
weapons and defenseless. Tho horse
was now within four r ds of tho
motionless figure in the road, and
bearing down rapidly upon him, und
with the desperate idea of running
over him, I shouted to Chevalier,
and lashed him with the ends of the
reins. He hounded like a b It up
to the man —st pped in his fright,
swerved, and was instantly seized
by the bit, and his head brought
down by the powerful ruffian. Be
fore 1 bud time to think, there was
a shout, which I distinctly heard:
“Your money, q ,Sek I” and! then
came two pistol shots, in such rapid
succession llint 1 could not have
counted two between them. One
ball passed through my hat, us I
afterward discovered, within an
inch of my head ; the other went
between my right arm and my
body, cutting the skin in i spuseage.
Almost at tho instant Mack gave a
ferocious growl, and dove under the
seat upon which I was sitting. I
heat'd him snapping and growling,
and heard a human voice, half-suf
focated, liy ing to say: “Oh, God I
Oh, God !” und ticn 1 th /rougi.ly
realized tho situation. The man
who had stopped me was struggling
with l.hcvulier, desperately striving
to keep his head down, when a hap
py thought came to my deliverance,
and I quickly jerked t e lines, one
after the other. Quick a thought
the noble brute broke away from
the ruffian's grasp, and reared
straight up in the air abovg Ins In ad,
coining down again instantly. I
saw that tho man wus lying motion
less beneath Chevalier's hoofs, and,
at a word from me, the unima! flew
onward, while I lashed him into
greater speed. The grow sof Muck
underneath me hud ceased, as well
us the erics of the miserawbs being
who was suffering in his jaws ; and
in a few moments the glorious dog
came out again and put his bloody
paws on my knees, white he whined
as if requesting some recognition of
what he had done. I was terribly
excited —i could not help it; tho
awful trial 1 bad just passed through
wa enough to work upon stronger
nerves than mine; but I put my
arm around the noble fellow’s neck,
and hugged him as if he had been a
woman. The last half of the way
was passed rather quicker than tho
first, and tho gallant Chevalier was
covered with sweat when ho stop-
pod at the. door of my employer’s
house.
| 1 tumbled in upon my wife and
her parents sitting around the fire,
and I was just about speechless ft on
cold and the reaction of my excite
ment. I found voice after a while
to say that I wasn't hurt at all. and
to ask my Father-in-law to look un
der the Boat of the sleigh. What he
found there all of you know by this
time. The man was stone dead,
Mack's teeth having torn ami man
gled hi* neck frightfully. Selkirk
Came to the settlement the next day,
and with his help tho web of vil
lainy was completely unraveled.
Both men had been at his house tho
afternoon previous to my r turn,
but had left about an hour before 1
came. Botli might easily know that
I had a large sum of money with
me, for no secret had been made of
my business, and it had been talked
over in their hearing. After talk
ing with Mr. Selkirk, I remembered
lor the first time that 1 had left my
overcoat in the sleigh after coming
back to the house that afternoon.
Here, then, was the opportunity
which the inten ed robbers and
murdrers embraced to steal my
pistols, and for ono of them to se
crete himself under tho sleigh-seat.
In the woods, near the scene of the
encounter, Mr. Selkirk found one of
their horses, saddled and bridled,
and hitched to a tree; and he had
no doubt tbut it had been ridden
there that evening by the man whom
Chevalier killed.
An Awful Bite.
Everybody in Burlington knows
John Oglesby, the book-keeper at
Dope A Smart.man’s, down on Main
street. We suppose Mr. Oglesby s
the quietest man that over opened
liis mouth to speak. Ho is so cvetl
tempered, bo peacefully calm, so in
nocent, (hat it would do a person
good to see him get n.ad once, and
howl and swear and rate around-
But he never docs, und no w we don't
believe he over will. Yesterday
afternoon, about three o'clock, ho
Stas w-aikii g opt ftp- of air,
very tired of t..c desk, when he drop
lied in at John 11. Gear’s for a quiet
chat Some of the boys in the store
hud just baited a steel trap and care
lessly set it down on a store box,
and what should Oglesby do but
back up to that box, hoist himself
up, and sit right down on that trap-
U 1 course it Went oil' like u savings
bunk, und caught bold of Mr. Ogles
by with a grip like a besetting sir.
Oglesby never said a word. He got
off the box with an injured look,
and walked back to bis own
store and went straight to bis desk,
whole he worked ail afternoon. Oc
casionnlly lie puused in his writing
und stood w ith his pen prised iu the
air and then a grieved look would
steal over his face, and the clerks in
the store sny they never saw him
como so near expressiii" emotion of
seine unusual nature as he did at
'.iic'se limt s. But ho never spoke,
and with a heavy sigh of resigna
tion he would resume his work. This
occurred quite a number of times
during the afternoon.
And all that time fbat steel trap
clung to him like a taint of slander,
with its jaws set so hard that it never
clunked or rattled under tho con
cealing curtain of his coai tails. And
up at Mr. Gear's the porter was just
aching to get his eyes on ihe smi of
a thief who had stolen the next Gov
ernor’s rut trap, and wus wondering
if Mr. Gearcouldn’t hang the fellow,
who evel' it was, right away after
election day.
Well, it wasn’t till tea time, when
Oglesby had put away his hooks and
locked up tho safe and was about to
start home that anyone spoke to
him about his distrait manner. Then
Mr. Dope, tho s nior member of the
firm, remarked to his book-keeper
that lie di lift just look like himself.
Mr. Oglesby looked at his employer
very intently:
“I w II never,” ho said with great
earnestness, “I will never go into
John H. Gear’s store again/'
“Why?” exclaimed the astonished
merchant, “what on earth is toe
matter with you and Mr. Gear?”
“I went (hero this afternoon,” re
plied the book-keeper, ‘and went to
sit down on a box, when that Irish
setter, that dog Jake of bis, reached
up and caught me the awfulest, cru
dest bito that mortal dog ever gave
to human man, and do you know
it’ awful hard to think sometimes
that ho hasn't got hold of mo yet?”
And then Mr. Oglesby reached
uroun.. to pity himself and found
the trup. Wo will draw a veil over
the dreadful scene, hut we are afraid
Mi. Gear has lost oue vote for Gov
ernor, unless he can make “Juke”

Buried Alive,
It is always with a feeling of hor- :
ror that we read of a grave belhg :
opened and the finding of the fact
that a burial had takel! place before
deatli had actually claimed its vic
tim ; and yet sucli eases are of more
frequent oc urrenee than is gener
ally supposed.
Some very strange cases o‘ per-!
sons being buried alive, and the j
manner in which lie facts wete
brought to light, have recently been
made public. A few of the most re
markable of these are now present
ed as showing to what extent this
blunder has, of late years, been cal’,
lied in the United Stales.
The Inst truly hoirilile ease was
that of a lady, Mrs. Roberta Ains
lee, of New Orleans. She had been
sick for some time with a malarial
lever, and was at the end of ten
days pronounced dead by hor phys
ician, us all signs of animation seem
ed suspended--the hod/ was cold,
tho pulse stopped and the lips were
bloodless. Mr. Ainsleo was himself
sick at the lime, and could nut at
tend the funeral of his wife; hut a
few days af'terwaid he called the
old nogress who bad alt-ended her
ill her last illn s, and made her
give him a detailed statement of the
facts.
After listening to her story, Mr.
Ainsleo stated tiiat. ho had had a
strange dream in regard to his wile,
und wits firmly of the impression
that she had boon buried alive.
So strong a hold did this dream j
take upon his mind that as soon as ,
lie was able, in company with a lew !
friends and un undertaker, lie went 1
to tho vault in which the body bad
been placed, and opening the large
box in which the eoflin was confitr- I
ed, th:it receptacle was found to he '
sprung at every joint, and the top
almost pried off. Upon opening it
the body of Mrs. Ainsleo was (bond
on ils lace, and the terrible expres
sion the face had upon it gave evi
dence ot the struggle that must
have been made for freedom. Hard
ly less mournful are the eonsequen
ces of the sad discovery. Mr. Aius-
Ice is now a raving ma'iiae.
About three years ago, Miss An
nie Carter, the daughter of u well- ;
to-do farm r in M chile Tennessee,
to all appearances died, and was (
buried. She had on hor hand at the
time a beautiful diamond ring, the
gift of her betrothed, which excited
the Cupiuity of a negro ou ihe farm
to such a degree that ho made up
his mind to possess it. lie exhumed
the body late at night, and after he
had burst the eoftiu open he was,
on account of the swollen condition
of the finger, unable to pufl the ring j
oft', so, taking out his knife, lie at
tempted to amputate the finger.— .
The lady, who was only hi a trance,:
was brought to consciousness by
the cutting, aud givin.r a scream, so
scared the negro that he fled.
Miss Carter, after many painful I
efforts, succeeded in getting free
from her gruve and making her
way home. Tho effect up n hor \
family can be imagined, and her
lover, upon bearing of the case next!
day, mmcdiateiy made her his wile ;
and she now presides at his table us
Mrs. Collins, with nothing to re
mind her < f her narrow escape Irom
a dreadful fate but the scar upon j
her finger.
One of tho most painful case* of
<nde mortem interment took place a j
few years ago in Philadelphia. The j
iadv, a young Quakeress of good
family, had apparently died, und ,
was placed in a vault amii the rel
ies of her ancestors. Nearly six
mouths afterwards the vault was
opened to receive another tenant, j
whi'u a sight ir et the eye* of those
present which will never he forgyt
en. On the steps of the vault sat,
or rather reclined against the wall,
all that was mortal of the young la
dy. Bhe hail wakened from her
trance, aud being unable to find her
i wuy to earth again, had sunk in
| helpless dt‘K|>air upon the steps, and
then, when hunger pressed her, she
had fed upon her oa ii fiosh, us her
shoulder and arms were literally
eaten to the bone.
A verf singular case occurred to :
a minister soffi’C twenty years ago
in Monmouth cofindy, N. J. Afiusr
a short illnCsS he was thought to be
dead, and preparations were made j
lories funeral. But it was not to
be—the ftiuu was only ill a trance:
and. Rs (lie undertaker was making -
ready to screw down the lid of tin- |
coffin, he discovered U twitching Of
the supposed dead in n’s eye-lids
aud upon proper retnodi s bring ap
plied, the gentleman *.- restored
to full life aud vigor. He tleseri' ed
most vividly bis led. ngsnttlie t.ti< ~
us lie stii 1 | hut he eould tear all
that was going on around him. but
could not move until the last mo
ment
Two case* <uhic to us reeeotly
from Europe of most heart-rending
burials betbre death, of which the
Dispatch has taken cognizance, and
which prove most conclusively that
doctors are not always the best
judges of suspended animation.
