ft ,vat’ biy X i tilVsgiving dinner,
l ate an awtul sight,
And finished feeliug very sura
ily buttons wers too tight.
4 rotted about the bouee awhile,
A sorry time I led- -
So to digest the whole, I thought
I’d travel off to bed.
To bed 1 '.*os to*s6d about,
"But f.nally got asleep,
And slept until I felt a chill
Across my body creep.
M
I felt quite sick, oh. very sick. «■
HP And muttered, “ Oh, the deuce 1
WK I wish that 1 had ouly shunned
That old Thanksgiving goose.”
‘ \ • '* '*
qfl reused myself and looked about,
' Gtrtr&'figa, what did I see ?
A band of sotewtt looking chape,
Were staring straight at me.
Around my bed and everywhere
-They seemed to fill my room ;
' HfOm every corner, every nook,
Would some pale visage loom.
- & looked upon them with a stare,
k But didn’t dare to speak,
Till one, more ghostly than the rest,
Come forward with a creak.
,f My son,” he said, in accents deep, f ,
*• This night you must now choose,
H What you shall do in after life,
To pony up your dues.”
Hicn up there stoppl'd a minister,
; B;'i'oui out that ghastly throng ;
looked quite like a bean pole,
was so lean and long.
W r,
was a Baptist minister',
■ As •• close ”as close could be ;
with his staling, sunken eyes, .
i Was iookiug right at me.
• sle went to speak, but I cried out, !*
m ' For me, sir. you’r too damp,
If I get wet when it is cold
I’m sure to catch the cramp.
At that he gasped, spoke not a word
And as I shook my fist,
He faded.slowly from my eight,
Into a winding mist 1
«
The next one was a Methodist—
A tall, strange look,ing coon ;
‘And with a .voice just fit to pitch,
An old camp meeting tune.
Then came a Presbyterian,
\ With doctrines ail askew,
Wliq asked but a sing lie qiistion,
“ Which are you, old or new 7” "
-‘Dhen came an Episcopalian, r
Dressed in his winding sheet,
And with his soft white slippers,
Upon his holy feet,
- ?jQli, father, dear,” to him I said,
f '' •’ Oh. you who are so high,
"How can you stoop so very low,
To such an one ns I?” £
.■ ■ u '* ' "
He felt it was condescension,
For him to.look at me ;
• He seemed astonished when'T said,
“ Like you I’ll never bo.”
tr "Styieti lie faded ,'ike all his brothers
- Before he came
To see him don his safr.Uy look—
’indeed it was good fun.
*
came a peaceful Quaker—
And after him a Jew ;
iApd of the RomaniCathoJics,
There were’! think a-few.
byjrstepped a lean old Lawyer,
j With lots of yellow bills ;
And after him sprang a Doctor,
Who brought both bills and pills.
And then a crowd came pouring in,
>: -Of every grade and clime,
Wtbo-all seemed anxious for a word,
Aad all spoke at a time.
Then to them all I raaij,e a speech, '
I- While lying in my bed ;
It came from ’neath the coverlets,
As hoarse as from the dead.
If you all want to know the coarse,
’ Which in this life I'll take ;
Let me now tell you one and all,
Just come when I’m awake.
Where Spend Eternity.
A lady had written on a card, and
placed on the top of an hour-glass in
her garden house the following simple
verse irom one of the poems of John
Clare. It was tfye season when, the
flowers were iu their highest glory :
To think of summers yet to come,
That I am not to see !
To think & weed is yet to bloom
From dust that I shall be !”
F, TUP next morning she found the fol
lowing lines, ia pencil, on the back of
the same card : i ±
To think when Heaven and earth are fletl,
And times.and seasons o’er ; ’ 1
When all that can die shall be dead,
f 1 That I shall die no more 1
6! where will then my portion be?
Where shall I spend Eternity ?

< A justice of the peace out. West
sent an armless man to jail for picking
pockets;
Repulsed and Welcomed.
An elderly man, shabbily attired,
was seen tvalking through one of the
fashionable streets of a large e"ity one
'cold December day. His coat was of
a coarse gray, and had evidently seen
hard service. The traveler walked
slowly along, examining carefully, an he
passed, the names on the different door
plates. He finally paused before a
dwelling of showy exterior, which, if
we may credit to the ’ testimony of the
plate upon the door, was occupied by
Alexander. Beaumont.
‘Alexander Beaumont 1 yes; • that’s
the name,’ murmured the traveler to
himself, as he ascended the steps and
rang the doorbell.
His sumtnotiß was answered-by a
servant, who, after a moment’s scrutiny,
which apparently was not of a very fa
vorable character, said roughly :
‘Well, sir, what do you want V
‘ls- Mr. Hottumont at home T .asked
the old man, without heading nre inten-,
tional rudeness.
‘No, sir, he is not 4
‘Then, perhaps ! can see his wife ?’
‘I think it very doubtful; but I will
go find see.’ i
The servant withdrew wjthout asking
Ute-blti Hian.to enter, ; thongh the day
was very cold, and his clothing seemed,
to be hardly sufficient to protect him
from its inclemency.
Mrs. Beaumont was reclining on a
fouteujl room haudsomely furnished.
YTjlle' Wst 1 new "“magazine was-, in hep
hand, and her eyes were listlessly glan
cing over its pages. She was inter
rupted in her reading by the entrance
of tbe-.s6r**nfc» " ■> . 1 -
‘Well, what now, Telly'?*' aha inquir
ed. . r
‘There is a man clown stairs who
wants to see you, ma’am.’ • '
‘Man ! a gentleman you mean?’ *,. h
‘No, ma’am,’ said Betty, stoutly, for
she well understood what made up a
gentleman in the conventional sense of
the term; ‘it isn’t a gentleman at all.
Tor he has got on an old gray coat, and
he has not got any gloves on.’
‘What can he want of me V
‘I don’t know ; he inquired after Mr.
Beaumont first.’
‘You didn’t bring him into the par
lor, did you ?’
Thei’girl shook her head.
•You did right, and you had better
tell him I’m not at home.’
‘Mrs. Beaumont is not at home,’ said
Betty, reappearing at the door.
‘-I swpoqse thajt means she is engaged,’
said the old man ; ‘I think she will see
me when she learns r who >1 am. Tell
her 1 am her husband’s uncle, and my
name is Henry Be^umont.’
;‘*Tbfit- oki rag-tfig 'master’s unele,’
said Betty, wondering as she descended
theetajra. - v r
‘Good heavens!’ said hei frrtstrfee#,
‘it ain’t that old veteran who strolled off
years ago, nobody knows where. I did
’nope he never would come back again.
And now I suppose he is ns poor as a
rat, and wants help. Well, ho won’t
get it if I can help it; but 1 suppose I
must see him.’
She descended the stairs, and receiv
ed the old man at the door.
‘Are you Mrs. Beaumont ?’ be in
qroired> 1 ‘
‘Yes, I am the wife of Mr. Alexan
der Beaumont, and I suppose from your
language,you are— ’ „
‘His uncle Henry I Ah me, 'Jihave
been gone ■sd-'fliaHyyears, and it does
me good to return to my kindred.’
The old man leaned on his staff, and
his features worked convulsively as
thoughts ofltlii'el-pß&tcameover his mind#
‘Mrs Beaumont stood holding the door,
as if wailing for him to depart. IShe
did not give him any invitation to enter.
‘ls your husband weli ?’ inquired the
visitor, looking,-in as if he expected an
invitation to enter and refresh himself,
alter his walk, by an interval of rest.
‘He is. If you have any message for
him you may leave it with mo, and I
will deliver it,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, de
sirous of ridding herself of the intruder
asisoten aa r pddsm!e. | \
‘You inayTefihim I have cal’ed,’ said
the visitor in a disappointed tone, ‘and
that I would have liked to have seen
him.’
> ‘I ‘wilbteH.him,’ said Mrs. Beaumont|
as she was about to close the door.
‘Hold.,J there is one question more.—
What has become of Alexander’s Bister
‘1 don’t know much about hef,’ wag
the rather disdainful reply; ‘but I think
she married a clerk, mechanic, or some
such person. His name is Lowe, and
he lives in Norton street. Is that all V
‘That is all.’ *
The old man turned his steps toward
the street indicated, with many forebod.
ittgs lest his*v?sit'might, be as
unwelcome -as the first appeared to he. ’
‘Betty,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, as she
closed the door, ‘lf that old fool comes
again, be sure and not forget to tell
him I am not at home.’
Norton street was not a fashionable
street, nor was the two-story dwelling
occupied by William Lowe either band
,spate or costly. It was marked, ho'wev
er, with an air of neatness, which indi
cated that its tenants wera.not regard
less of outward appearances.
*We will take the liberty of introdu
cing you in a little sitting room, where
Mrs. Lowe and her three children wore
even now seated. A plain, serviceable
carpet covered the floor, and the re
mainder of the furniture, though of a
kind which would hardly be selected,
for a drawing room, had a comfortable,
homelike appearauce, which simply sat
isfied the desire of those who - derived
their happiness from a.-higher and less
mutable force than outside show. Mia.
Lowe was seated in a rocking chair,
engaged in an employment which I am,
aware is tabooed in all fagbiondble so
ciety, I mean darning stockings.
Emma, a girl of teD, was brushing
the hearth, which the ashes from the
grate, in which a blazing fire was now
burning, had somewhat disordered,
while Mary, who was two years youn«-
‘6r, was reading. OfraHey, a little rogue
of five,’Who had a smiling face, which
could not help looking roguish, was
stroking the cat the wrong way, much
to the disturbance of poor Tubby, who
had quietly settled herself d<nvn to
pleasant dreams op,£h-»,&q»Ptb,-;rug.
All at once a loud knock was heard
at the door.
‘Emma,’ said the mother, ‘you may
go to the door and see who it is, and
invite him in, for it is a oold day.’
Emma immediately obeyed the moth
er’s directions. > > • •
‘ls Mrs. Lowe at home ?’ inquired
Henry Beaumont—for it was be.
‘Yes, sir,’ said Emma ; -‘please walk
fli, and you Inky see her.’’
She ushered the old man into the
comfortable sitting-room. '
.. Mrs. Lowe arose to receive bim.
"•‘I bellfeve,’ be said, ‘l’m not mistaken
in tbinkiiig that your name before mar
riage was Anna Beaumont?’
‘You are right, sir, that was my name.’
‘And you have uo recollection of an
uncle that wandered away from home
and friends, and from whom no tidings
have come for many a long year ?’
‘Y T «vsir,-1 remember biru’HvMl-—my
uncle Henry—and I have many times
wished I could hear something from
him. Ca-n you give me any informa
tion ?’
‘I can—for lam he.’ ; • ■ <
‘You my/uncle ?’ said Mrs. Lowe, in
surprise; ‘then you are indeed welcome.
Emma, bring your uncle the arm-chair,
and place it close to the fire; and Mary
bring your father’s slippers, for, I am
sure your dear uncle must long to get
off those heavy boots. And now, un
cle, when you are quite rested, I must
demand avrecital of your adventures.’
‘But your brother Alexander/
rupted Mr. Beaumont; ‘let me first in>
quire about him. He lives in the city
now, does ha not ?’
A light’clcmd came over Mrs. Lowe’s,
face.
‘Yes/ she said, ‘he does live in the
city; yet, 6trange as it may appear, I
seldom or never see him. He has suc
ceeded well, and is wealthy. But. ev
er since he married a wife, with a small
property and greater pride, he has kept
aloof from us. Ido not blame him so
much as his wife, who is said to have
great influence over him. I have call
ed once, but she treated me so coldly
that I have not felt a disposition to re
new my visit.’
.v '{ efifi Easily believe it,’ was the re
ply, ‘for I, too, have been repulsed.’
‘You repulsed ? Did you give your
name, and inform her of your relation
ta.ber V *
‘I did’; but sbe did ‘not invite me to
enter, and she was evidently impatient
for me to be gone ; I am.’
‘At least, uncle/ said Mrs. Lowe,
smilingly, .‘you need not be afrard of any
repulse here.*
‘Of that I am quite sure/ said the old
gentleman, looking affectionately into
the face of his niece. ‘But you have
not told me of your husband. Let me
know whether you have made a good
match/ ha added, playfully.
‘That depends upon what is meant
by the term. If it implies a rich hus
band, then I failed, most certainly, for
William’s salary is only eight hundred
dollars a year, and that is what we
have to depend upou. But for all that
I care not, for a kind, affectionate hus
band is far more worthy than a magnifi
cent house and the most costly furni
ture.’
‘You are right/ said her uncle ; ‘there
must be something which your limited
means will not permit you to obtain, but
which would be desirable, is there not ?’
‘Yes/ said Mrs. Lowe, ‘I am anxious
to give Emma and Mary a musical-ed;,
ucation, but William’s means .AViIH cot
allow of such extravagance>as the pur
chase of a pianoq so that is one of the
things we must be*content to deny our
selves.’
Mr. Lowe then entered, and being
informed of the character of his visitor,
he extended a hearty’ wtettctm'e.
A comfortable repast was soon spread,
of which Mr. Beaumont readily par*
took. His spirits rose, and be seemed
to grow younger as he saw the cheer
ful faces around him, and felt himself at
home. Soon after the evening meal he
rose to depart.
‘Surely you are not gpiog ?’ said his
niece; ‘you mus* henceforth -take upj
your abode with us.’ ’ ’
‘We will see about that, and if you
don’t think you will get tired of me,
perhaps I will come. But l have hired
a lodging, and must undoubtedly re
main in it for a few days.’
‘But you’ll call in eveiy day, and
make yourself perfectly at home, even
before you come here to stay/ persisted
his niece. /
‘Be sure of that.’ ' '• 5
In accordance with his promise, Mr.
ißenumont made bis appearance next
day at eleven o’clock, and was received
as cordially as before. ‘lfo'hfed * hardly s
been in the bouse a quarter of an hour
when a loud rap was heard at the door.
[Mrs. Lowe beheld tvyp pien who had
just driven up in a wagofi,’ ,l 1
‘Where is this piano to be put, ma’-

‘Piano ! you have made a mistake; 1
we have purehased.no-piane.’

‘Yes.’ f
‘Then it is all right. Jim, near a

‘But I’m quite sure there must be

plexed Mrs. Lowe.
‘Not at all/ said a loud voice behind
her." „. - ’ . , 1
She turned around in amfizement.
‘You know/ continued the uncle,
*tb#t I am going to come and live with
you, ami.l thought I would pay my
board ini advance,-, that is all. As you
expressed a wish yesterday for a piano,
I thought it would be as acceptable a
way as any.’
‘You, uncle? Why, excuse me —
but I thought from—from’
‘You mean,’ said he, smiling, ‘that
you thought from my appearance that
I could not afford, itc; And I confess,
said he, casting a glance at himself in
the glass, ‘that my dress is not in the
extreme of fashion, and in fact I was
obliged to look some time when I calL
ed at the second hand clothing store
the other day before 1 could find these.
However, as I have got ail the service
I wished ttlit of them, 1 ißhall throw
them aside to-morrow, and appear more
respectably clad.’
‘What! Are you wealthy, uncle ?’
‘Depend upon it, Anna, I didn’t spend

interestedness of my relations. One of

-Nature Witnessingfon GetL
On the first day of September 1859,
two astronomers, one at Oxford, the
other at London, were at the same time
watching the spots on the disc of the
sun ; and both at the same moment saw«
certain strange bright’patches pf light
break out in front of the cluster. 80
brilliant were they that the observers
at first thought that the darkening
screens attached to their telescopes must
have become fractured. But this was
found not to be the case; The bright
spots indicated a process thfit'Wfifi g6:ng
on VipOn the sun’s surface —a process so
rapid-tbat in five minutes the spots had
travelled over a space of nearly 34,000
miles. >
'At the' very same time that this was
taking place magnetic storms swept in
stantaneous—so subsequent ' observa
tions proved—through both hemispheres
of our globe. At Washington and
Pliitedelp’hih the signal inen in thp. tele
graph offices received sharp eletric
shocks; the tracing pen used in Bain’s
system of telegraphy was followed by
a flame; and iu Norway telegraphic
‘ffiachinery was set’wfire. Boreal and
austral auroras were seen that night
with unusual splendor, as the disturbed
needy vibrated, waving their, colored
streamers in the heavens, insomuch that
it was evident that the disturbance on
the sun’s surface had instantaneously
communicated to the earth magnetic
thrills which vibrated from pole to pole.
Nor is this ait. *. There is a strange
connection oftentimes between the ac
tion of these magnetic forces and the
phenomena of earthquakes aDd volca
noes. Indeed it has been recently ar
gued that the cast© 6f the’tatter is to be
found not in the subterranean fires of
our globe expanding vapors, and giving
them a destructive agency, but iu the
electricity communicated to our globe
by the sun. But be this as it may, it
is a startling fact that there is a force
manifesting iCseffioTv the face of the sun
simply as a brilliant light flashing over
its surface, that can, tbrongh an inter
val of ninety five millions of miles, in
stantaneously operate on our earth,
blaze along our telegraphic wires, give
electric shocks to the signal men station
ed by them, flash Northern lights
through the heavens, thrill the very
globe from pole to pole with magnetic
influences, disturb the nature, and per
haps rock the solid earth as if its sur
face, in some places at least, were a
ftiere scale on a boilißgsea of fire.
But here is an ageDt.a mysterious force,
that annihilates distance, as light cannot
do it, as gravitation perhaps cannot'wio
it; originating, we know not how, but
when showing itself on the sun, travel
ing almost in an instant through the
bounds of the solar system, telegraph
ing as it were to the extremities of cre
ation without any instrumentality of
wires or fibnnetions, the 'toiil of the
great Maker, reaching and affecting the
fibres of ail living things, breaking up
the repose of nature, and calling forth
at once tbe-most magnificent displays of
northern light and,volcanic force, tifi
the solid glebe 'reefe rotflih at its
noiseless touch !
Who can help feeling that all gross
material.forces.sink. into insignificance
before tlifa'tsubtiTd jgdiicy, the mystery
of which must be resolved into the
finite will of the Creator I What a be
ing must He be who holds it in His
hand, or who breathes it forth, as it
were, to fulfill His mandates ! What is
man, or what are all bis works, howev
er stupendous or elaborate, while we
contemplate the amazing exhibition of
a power whfch itr'a-h instant cam-'travel,
through all these vast planetary spaces,
ar.d in a single moment can execqjte the
will of Him who sends it with the speed
and precision of the lightning, and.
vyhich, having shot through •spkc«vwith;
enSrgy st'Hl unspent, can rend the rocks 1
and make the mountains quake, and
cover the midnight heavens with splen
dors unutterable, before which the bold
est faces grow pale, and the boldest
hearts grow weak !—The Evangelist.
Remarkable Chain of Circum
stantial Evidence-
The recent conviction of John A.
Munroe, for murder, in St. John, N. 8.,
was due to a most remarkable chain of
circumstantial evidence. The remains’
of the victims, mother and child, were
discovered in the woods in a lonely
place ten miles from St aohn, nearly a
year after the murder, and consisted of
only the skulls, a roll of hair, a few
bones and portions of clothing. The
strictest search and most careful inquiry
for weeks failed to discover the disap--,
pearance ol a woman from any family for
milesaround. AH was shrouded in mys
tery. Suddenly a hackman recollected
having twice carried a woman and child
in his baq£ to the vicinity of where the
reiftawk were found, eleven mouths be-'
fore, accompanied by John A. Munroe,
an industrious architect, whose reputa
tion had always been above suspicion.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
Munroe bgd been intimated with a
girlof’’Carlbton, named Susan M.
Vuil, who had born him a child in Feb
ruary of last year, and shortly after sold
the house iu which she had lived,
disappeared. The b'tickman testbed 1
that he carried Munroe mid Mrs. Chirk
and child to the vicinity of the murder
the-26th and again on the . 31st of
party got out of the hack to walk a
short distance to the house of a friend,
that Munroe came-back alone in half an
hour, and that Murtroe then engaged
him to carry the lady's truuk from the
Union Hotel to the - Boston steamboat
on the following Monday, where thq
lady would be taken by the friends pj
whose house he had left her. The
ters of Miss Yail, who supposed she
was living a life of shame in some un
known place, identified the remains by
the hair, teeth, and sentppief-,clothing,
while a piece of flattened lead found
with the remains of the child was recog
nized as having-formed part of a truss
made by Mies Vail’s sister,’ for *p. slight
rupture with which the child was beftm.
The steamlsoat warehouse in Boston
was ransacked, the trunk of Miss Clarke,
carried to the boat by the backman as
ordered, was found, and its contents at
once recognized ae belonging to Miss.
Vail, NufnefbQS other circumstances
cams to light, which served'to connect
the links in the evidence, till a complete
chain was formed, against whice Man
roe’s counsel could only offer the previ
ous good character of the prisoner, and
.appeal for mercy. It would seem mys
terious, tret for the existence of an over
ruling Providence, that just these por
tions' ofxhe remains were left undevour
ed by the elements and wild beast that
were needed to convict the murderer.
Had these been carried away, and all
the rest remained, it is probable the
crime could never have been traced to
its perpetrator. —Portland Pfet*.

Foolishness of Intemperance.
The habit of liquor driflking, is to our
minds, the most inexcusable piece of
destructive nonsense in tire world. And
nowhere is It more prevalent than in
cities. The money, poured down the
throats of men each'year is greater than
the amount expended for improvements.
Whisky saloons,.and all sorts of
irrational and jvreds tand 4 places ,to fool
away money, are found by the hundreds
and thousands in cities. If a man is
tired be drinks ; if at work he drinks.—
If doing ffotbtng he must have a nip eve
ry hour. If too warm he must have
a julep; if too cold a hot whiskey. If he
is .by himself, out comes a flask or bottle';
if in company, he stands treat till his
money be gone ; then, like a dead-beat,
sits around till someone asks bim up.
A man on a moderate salary steps into
a saloon, invites half a dozen friends to
drink, payslialf a dollar or more, aiftd
walks out. Three or four times a day
he repeats this, and always drinks when
asked. It i,s social. - Men mean noth*
ing by it- But during tbe week half ;a
man’s salary has been poured do\vn Wc
throat, destroying his stomach and
weakening his hervefi, 6vct ,J exciting his
braiAj anth rebbing himself and family of
money needed’for other purposed. But
it fe febcial! '.v '
Drink in the morning, at noon, at
night, then a few between drinks. The
brain in whirls—the hand grows un
steady—the pocket grows empty—the
home ones suffer—the eyes look red and
tremulous, as if ashamed—afifibitibn ”!a
drowned in poison. Pretty soon the poor
fellow is unfit for-business—he makes
mistakes. He is sick, unable to, work.
He is not a man to be -relied -Hpon.-*-
He leaves Dis place and in time* finds a
poor one. Then be feels blue—drinks
still more, his family suffers, he leaves
his place again, and at last dies a mere
wreck. But it is social! v'.V’.V J
We believe a man has no right’to“Sill
himself suddenly or by slow poison. It
may be none of our business in the ab
stract, yet we are sorry to see men fool*
ing themselves away—dying like weeds
n a gutter when they might b
upright, healthy, loved aud useful, of
benefit to themselves and others. And
this is why we write against intempers
ance. Health is too precious to be was
ted. Manhood is too noble to be thrown
into the gutter. Life is too sweet to be

-A Week in his Coffin— A St. Louis
Merchant Suspends Animation.—Jo
seph Fredrick Heitkamp,* ! k ‘St;-' Louis
merchant, is lying in a state of suspen
ded animation in an elegant silver-moun
ted coffin, lined with white silk. By
some he is supposed to have died on
Monday night last, while others stoutly,
maintain 1 tfcflt he stiir'lives. The Repub
lican of Saturday says:
“The features betoken a pleasant,
quiet sleep. The flesh, though cold, re-,
tains £ degreq of elasticity and softness
remareab’e after &o ! 'long a time has
elapsed since the soul is supposed *fco‘
have taken its flight to the eternal world.
The balls of the dyete, when the lids are
unclosed, are covered with a thick' coal
ing of film. Although he ceased to
breathe on Monday night last, and to
all appedrapces died, there rs‘ still, dr
was ud to 9 o’clock last 'flight, bo sighn
of decomposition; neither was there the
least sign of that deathly hue or color
peculiar to death. His features are as
natural as they were in life'; his fingers;
are limber, and, to look at his face, 01
to feel his gloved hand, one would sup
pose that fie was in a deep sleep. His
wrist, elbow, and knee-joints are not
altogether stiff, although he has lain as
a dead man since Monday night. These
facts go to sustaip the theory or belief
that he is not deirfl. On the other hand
his face and hands, and flesh generally,
are as cold as it is possible for a dead
man’s to become, although there is an
entire absence of that clamniiftesS pe
culiar to dead bodies. No motion of
bis heart or pulse is iu auy wise percep-,
tible. There are no signs of a circula
tion of- blood, and in all, save the pecu
liarities as above recited, he seems to
be as dead as man ever was ; .and these
facts sustain the bfllifef that he is dead.”.
On Tuesday a man dtid Woman, at
tired in a singular manner, visited the
corpse, and announced that they would
work a miracle by raising the dead.—
They proceeded to make .various manip
ulations ove* the "body, and handled it
quite roughly, whereupon a relative of
the dead man was called, by one of the
attending watchers, who gave the mira
cle-working individual a beating; and
the wouian was ejaculated from the
house in a decidedly unceremonious
mauuet..
