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.
