MISCELLAN EOUS.
COFFINED ALIVE.
That persons, during the raging of a pestil
ence anti the hurry of burials, have sometimes
been buried alive, there is very little doubt. We
have nut, however, heard oi any well attested
case of this kind, since the commencement of the
present epidemic in ©ur city : and the story we
are about to relate, avouches lor no more than
the cotlining of a man, who, as will appear in the
sequel, could not be persuaded that he was a pro
per subject for burial.
In the course of the disease, it has sometimes
occurred, that a man, being found dead-drunk in
the street, has been mistaken for a cholera pa
tient, lifted upon a litter, and carried olfto one
of the Hospitals. It has been customary, in these
cases, for the Medical attendants, on ascertain
ing the mistake, to order the drunken man to he
laid in a room, used for that purpose, until he
shall have slept off the fumes of liquor, and then
dismiss him to take care of himself.
Two or three weeks since, a patient of this
description was one evening brought to the
I lospitai, supposed to be in the last stage of chol
era asphyxia. Certain it is, that lie was prodigi
ously blur. The doctor examined him, shook
his head, and ordered him to the drunkard’s
room.
Besides this apartment for those who were
merely dead-drunk, there was another, wherein
it was customary to lay such as had actually died
during the night; from whence they were to be
carried away and buried the next morning. It so
happened that the above mentioned patient was,
by mistake, conveyed to the dead-room, instead
of the drunkard's.
There he lay, unconscious of his situation,
either personal or local, until the morning; when
the burial cart came, and two Hibernians pro
ceeded to the dead-room to take away the
corpses. They found no other hut the drunken
t»an, who being still fast locked in the arms of
sleep, they forthwith proceeded to coffin, and to
nail up. They laid him in his narrow house, eV
began to drive the nails, when the noise awoke
him. He started up, thrust off the lid, and
asked them what the d 1 they were about!
“We’re a goin to bury ye, sure,” said one of
the I liberninns, endeavouring to make the man
lie down again, and ho darent/y nailed up.
“To bury me! ' exclaimed the astonished
drunkard.
“Ay, sure,” returned the Irishman, coolly;
“ it’s we that buries all that dies of the chol
era.”
“But I’m not dead !” said the patient.
“Not dead!” exclaimed the Irishman; “ nint
that a pretty extravagant assertion now for a
corpse to make ! Not dead ! And sure you can’t
be in your right mind to say so. Lome, lie
down, if ye plase, and we 11 nail ye up and bury
ye dacentlr.”
“ Dacentfy /”
“Av, sure, asdaccntlyas the times will admit
of. It isn't ivery man now, that can git a coffin,
like yourself, to be buried up in.
“But 1 tell you, I'm not dead !” persisted the
drunken man, struggling to get out of the coffin.
“Not dead agin !” exclaimed the Hibernian,
endeavouring to keep him in; “ that assariion
won't do here. V\ e fetched you out ol the dead
room, where they put all the corpses’; and it so
be, you aint dead, there s no confidence at all to
be placed in doctor's stuff.
“ Hare 1 been under the hands ot the doctor
then ?”
“Aint that a pretty question now for a dead
man to ax ?”
“D it ? 1 tell you, I'm not dead.”
“Who knows better nor the doctor? Come,
Jemmy, (addressing his brother Irishman,) you
hould him down, w hile 1 nail him up. W e can t
be bothered here all day, no how."
As the coffined man saw there was no such
thing as reasoning these honest officials out ot
their duty, and that he must resort to main force
to save himself, he made one desperate effort,
shook off' the dead cartmen, sprang from the
coffin, and toak to his heels.
[A. 5. Const cl.
Galvanism. —“ The spectacle was truly hor
rific. When I entered the room where the ex
periments were to take place, the body ol a
man named Carter, which had been cut down
from the gallows scarce halt an hour, was h ing
on the table; and the cap being removed, his
frightful features, distorted with the agonies ol
suffocation, were visible. The crime he had
been hanged for was murder; and a brawny,
desperate ruffian he looked! None ol his clothes
were removed. He wore a fustian Jacket, and
drab knee breechees.
“The first time that the galvanic shock was
conveyed to him will never, I dare say, bo for
gotten by any one present. We all shrunk
from the table in consternation, with the mo
mentary belief that we had positively brought
the man back to life; for he suddenly sprung
op into a sitting posture —his arms waved wild-
ly—the colour rushed into his cheeks—his lips
were drawn apart, so as to show his teeth —and
his eyes glared at us with apparent fury. One
young man, a medical student, shrieked violent
ly, and was carried out in a swoon. One gen
tleman present, who happened to be nearest to
the upper part of the body, was almost knocked
down with the violent blow he received from
the left arm. It was some time before any of
us could recover presence of mind sufficient to
proceed with the experiments.” —Diary of a
Physician.
THE BLIND PREACHER.
BY WILLIAM WIRT.
It was on Sunday us 1 travelled through
Orange, that my eyes were caught by a cluster
ol’horses tied near an old ruinous house in the
forest, not far from the road side. Having fre
quently seen such objects before, in travelling
through these states, 1 had no difficulty in un
derstanding that it was a place of religious
worship.
Devotion alone should have stopped me to
join the duties of the congregation, but I must
confess, that curiosity to hear what the preach
er in such a wilderness could say, was not the
least of my motives. On entering I was struck
with his preternatural appearance. He was
a tall and spare old rutin ; h s head was cover
ed with a linen cap, his shrivelled hands, and
his feeble voice, were all shaking under the in
fluence of palsy, and in a few moments 1 ascer
tained that he was blind.
The first emotions which touched the breast,
were those of pity and veneration. Rut ah ! sa
cred God ! how soon were all my feelings
changed ! the lips of Plato were never more
worthy of a prognostic swarm of bees, than
were the lips of this holy man ! It was the day
of the administration of the sacrament; and
his subject of course was the passion of our
Saviour.—l had heard the subject handled a
thousand times. 1 had thought it exhausted
long ago. Little did 1 suppose in the wild woods
of America, 1 was to meet a man whose elo
quence would give this topic a new and more
sublime pathos, than 1 had ever before wit
nessed.
As he descended from the pulpit to distri
bute the mystic symbols, there was a peculiar,
a more than human solemnity in his air and
manner, which made my bluxl run cold, and
frame shiver.
He then drew a picture of the suffering of
our Saviour, his trial before Pilate, his assent up
Calvary; his Crucifixion ; and his Death. 1
knew the whole history, but never until then,
had J heard the circumstances so selected, so
arranged, so colored; it was all new ; and 1
seemed to have heard it for the first time in my
life. His voice trembled on every syllable;
every heart in the assembly beat in unison.
1 lis peculiar phrase had that force of description
that the original scene appeared to be acting at
the moment before our eyes. We saw the faces
of the Jews ; the staring, frightening distortions
of malice and rage, with a flame of indignation ;
and my hands involuntarily clenched.
But when he came to touch on the patience,
the forgiving meekness of our Saviour; when
he drew to the iife, his blessed eyes streaming
to heaven, his voice breathing to God, a soft
and gentle prayer of pardon for his enemies—
‘ Father forgive them, for they know not what
thev do;’ the voice of the preacher had all along
faukered,and grew fainter and fainter, until his
utterance being entirely obstructed by the force
of his feelings, he raised his handkerchief to his
eves and burst into a loud and irresistible flood
of grief. The effect is inconceivable. The
whole house resounded with mingled groans and
sobs, and shrieks of the congregation.
It was a longtime before lue tumult had sub
sided, so far as to permit him to proceed. In
deed, judging by the usual fallacious standard of
my own weakness, 1 began to be very uneasy
for the situation of the preacher, for 1 could
not conceive how ho would be able to let his
audience down from the height to which he had
wound them, without impairing the dignity of
the subject, or perhaps shocking them by the
abruptness of the fall. But no —the descent
was as beautiful and sublime as the salvation
had been rapid and enthusiastic.
The first sentence with which he broke the
silence was a quotation from Rousseau, ‘ Socra
tes died like a philosopher, but Jesus Christ like
a God!’
1 despair giving you any idea of the effect pro
duced by this short sentence, unless you could
perfectly perceive the whole manner of the man,
as well as the peculiar crisis of the discourse.
Never before did 1 understand what Demos
thenes meant by laying such stress on delivery.
You are to bring before you the venerated figure
of the preacher; his blindness constantly recall
ing to vour recollection old Homer, Ossian, and
Milton] and associating with his performance, the
melancholy grandeur of theirgenius; you are to
imagine that you hear his slow, solemn, and
well accented enunciation- and his voice affect
ing melody; you are to remember the pitch of
passion and enthusiasm to which the congrega
tion were raised, and the lew minutes of portent
ous, death-like silence which reigned through
the house. The preacher removed the white
handkerchief from his face, wet even yet with the
recent torrent of tears, and slowly stretching
forth the placid hand which holds it, and begins
the sentence —‘Socrates died like a philosopher
—then pausing, raising his other hand, pressing
them both clasped together, with warmth and
energy to his breast, lifting his sightless balls to
Heaven, and pouring his whole soul into his
tremulous voice—‘but Jesus Christ—like a God?
If he indeed had been an angel ot light, the ef
fect could scarcely have been more divine.
Whatever 1 had been able to conceive of the
sublimity of Massillon or the lorce of Bourdaloue,
had fallen far short of the power which rushed
in a hurricane upon my brain, and in the vio
lence and agony of my feelings, had held my
whole system in suspense, now ran back into
mv heart with a sensation which 1 cannot de
scribe; a kind of shuddering, delicious horror!
the paroxism of blended piety and indignation,
to which 1 had been transported, subsided into a
deep self-abasement, humility and adoration. 1
had just been lacerated and dissolved by sym
pathy, for our Saviour as a fellow creature; but
now with fear and trembling, 1 adored him as—
‘a God.

PROPOSALS
FOR ENLARGING AND IMPROVING TUB
SOUTHERN BANNER,
.4 Paper note published Weekly in Athens, Geo.
F OIHE rapid increase of population, wealth and Intel-
S. ligence of Western Georgia, have prompted the
Editors of the “ Southern Banner,” in order to keep
pace with the improvement of the times—to lay befo'rfi
their friends and patrons, the following proposals ’.
They intend about the first of February next, to priblisH
, the “ Banner” on a large imperial sheet—not inferior ill
size or style of execution, to any now published in the
State—lor the accomplishment of which purpose, they
I have ordered from New-York an entire new set of mate
rials.
The Editors deem it unnecessary at this late td
enter into a minute detail of their political creed—they
would deem it but a work of supererogation. Suffice if
, to say, their best efforts will always be directed (by dis
, seminating correct principles, religious, moral and
, political) to the advancement of the interest; honor and,
happiness of the people—particularly that portion of
them comprising the Western and .North Western sec
tion of the State; and to whom they mainly look for pat
ronage and support.
The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but
not sufficient .to meet the increase of expenditure thaf
must necessarily occur, in effecting the
contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in thef
hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that
support and encouragemest, upon which they alone
must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an Un
dertaking so responsible.
TERMS.
The price of subscription will be the same as here
tofore—viz : $3,00 per annum in advance, or $-4,00if
payment is delayed until after the year expires.
As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves
for us, we offer to give a copy of the Banner for every
ten responsible names forwarded by any one individual;
Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editors, or td
Alcon Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention.-

AUDREY
To Parents and Teachers.
AMONG the numerous cheap publications of the
day, none has been offered to that numerous class
of society who most need instruction and amusement;
and, with your approval and assistance, the publisher of
“ The Youth’s Literary Gazette,” proposes to famish
a year’s reading at the ordinary cost of two small vol;
umes.
It is well known, that even among the wealthy, many
parents hesitate to lay out a dollar, seventy-five, or even
fifty cents, for a volume that is exhausted in an eve
ning; while a still more numerous class are entirely de
barred by the price from purchasing useful and agreea;
ble hooks for their children.
| The Gazette will contain as much good, useful, and
interesting matter as would form twelve of the usual
sized volumes for children. The articles will be adapt,
ed to all ages from sto 15 years. It will thus pass from
hand to hand in the family circle, and the mother will
find amusement in what she is called upon to explain to
her children.
To instruct and entertain, to create a desire for in;
formation, and lead youthful mind to n fondness for stu;
dy, will be the object of the work. Its pages will b*
devoted to—
I. Travels and Voyages.
3. Familiar Tales and Narratives.
3. Dialogues on Scientific subjects.
4. Biography and Natural History.
5. Ncftiees of all new Works for GJrildreu.
6. Interesting Historical Anecdotes.
7 Charades, Conundrums, and Puzzles.
The assistance of most of the writers for children ia
promised; each No. will contain one, two, or three
wood cuts, illustrative of different subjects; and every
exertion will be made to make the work interesting.
