possibility of restoring life md animation
TO the body thus strangely thrown into
his possession. He remembered the in
stances in which animals had been restor-
ed to life after long periods of suspended
animation, and forced torpidity but his
principal hope Of success was derived
from the recollection Of the surprising
fact ofthe man who had been revivitied
after having lain embedded for three cen
turies in one Of the glaciers Of Mount ST.
Sothard. Full Of his new project and
us the most likely means of ultimate sue
cess, he instantly ordered the body to be
placed in a quantity Of water moderately
warm, and gave it his undivided attention.
Night came on, and no material altera-
ton taking place, about midnight he re-
tired to his rest, leaving the body in the
care OF his trusty servant and some of the
workmen who had orders to call him
early, or, if any thing happened, instant
Iy.
About four o'clock, he was reused from
his slumbers by his servants bursting in
to the room, and begging him for Gods
sake to hasten to the laboratory, which
he did without delay.-Here, to his inf
mite surprise, he found his newly acquired
subject houndering and struggling III the
water, while the workmen, instead OF at
tempting to relieve him, were fleeing ia
every direction. Plunging into the bath,
the Doctor raised him from the water,and
aided by his servant, bore him to his own
bed whore, on examination, he found
his pulse beating, and gurging, suffo-
eating sound in his throat-whlch was re-
lieved by his throwing off quantity OF
water. On the Doctors opening vein,
he soon began to breathe freely, and i'm
medately appeared as if in quiet sleep.
Crowds of people had by this time COL
lected to witness the phenomenon, but
they were fall carefully excluded, with
the exception of few scientific friends,
who were permitted to be constantly pres
ent.
When he Rwoke, and opened his eyes,
he manifested ithe utmost surprise, and
was also extremely weak. A small guam
tity Of nourishment was given him, which
ne accepted with pleasure, max ing, at
the same time, indications OF an attempt
to speak, which were wholly Intellectual !;
and it was not untl tho afternoon of the
next day that he was able to mako dis
tinct sound. Tho language in which he
now expressed himself was unknown TO
any one present. 1t was evidently dis
similar to any ofthe Indian languages ,and
by the Doctor pronounced as bearing q
nearer affinity to the Hebrew, with which
he was familiar,-than any other. AT
length, after repeated and unsuccessful
attempts to make himself understood, he
happened to pronounce the word Tyre, in
such manner that the Doctor instantly
comprehended his meaning and, ad-
dressing him in the ancient language Of
the Hebrews, found to his inexpressible
JOY that he was at once understood
From himself it was learned that his name
was Heronymus, and that he was the
son Of Hiram, King Of Tyre, the friend
ard cotemporary Of Solomon the wise.
Hiram, it appears, was nineteen years
and six months older than Solomon-and
Hieronymus was Of precisely the same
age as the Hebrew monarch, who was
his intimate and personal friend.
This statement OF tho difference be-
tween the ages of Hiram aud Solomon,
threw at first shade Of suspicion over his
narrative but it was fully removed, and
his entire accuracy confirmed by refer
ence to the records Of the sacred frater-
nifty, of which Hiram and Solomon were
the questionable founder but which tes-
timony had been forgotten or overlooked
Another incidental circumstance also
conspired to remove every shadow Of
doubt as to his identity and veracity, aud
also to establish the facts relating to a
much mooted point of Scripture history
viz while in conversation with the Doc
tor, the nurse, large and good-looking
negro woman, happened to enter the room
whom he Immediately, and with the most
profound reverence, addressed as the
Queen of Sheba.
