Almost* IlHried Alive
Di-nnirest's Monthly : What ap
peared to be the remains of Miea Jo
sephine Byman, <rf Evansville, Ir.d ,
lay on her bed t her home In that
city. The friend* had come t ace
tlic corpse, the priest had performed
the funeral rites, the shroud had been
put on and the body was afroiit to be
removed to the coffin. Before doieg
so one of the sisters proposed to re
move tbj hair. Tli! long locks on
one side of tho head were cut, and
then the body wax turned to remove
the trewes on Ihe other aide. Sud
denly there was a twitching, and the
girl supposed to he dead was sitting
up in bed, having just recovered from
a trance. It, seems she was conscious
of (lie terrible fate that awaited tier,
and of the condition she was in. She
recalls the priest touching her arms
and head, ihe last kisses of her reltt
tives and friend*, and what was said
about, her ; but, though conscious and
in mortal terror, them she laid stiff
and rigid. She tumid not move a
muscle or make a sign, and she fully
expected to he buried alive. It was
not until they moved her body to cut
<>fT her hair that she was able to give
any sign of life. There is Scarcely a
doubt that many people are buried as
ihad who are only in a trance. A
person who died recently in Boston
left word for his physician to sever
his head from his body 10 as to he
sine that l.c was dead before commit
ting him to the grave. But aficr all,
would not the deal li by a modern bur
iai fro a painless one ? Life would
soon be extinct after the coffin had
been screwed down, Juliet, in
Shakespeare's play, is laid on a bier
and taken to the tomb of the Cspulel*,
but thin is not the method of huria
in our time, nnd there ia little danger
of life lieiug in the body when the
clods first fall upon tl e coffin.
