Remarkable escape from being buried
dliUe.---A Paris Paper of Nov. 7th, recew-
ed at N. Y. on Thursday, by the Rhome,
has the following incident.
M. Decamphs, wealthy inhabitant of
Lyons, fell into such state of Lethargy
on Friday, the 9th Nov. last that his
friends believed him TO be dead, and procee-
ded to the preliminares for his interment.
The coffin was brought, and his body pla-
ced in it. The funeral was to take place
on the next Sunday, the cortege was assem-
bled, and the undertaken was on the point
of placing on the lid, and screwing it down,
when the supposed delunct suddenly rou-
sed from mere lethargy into which he
had fallen, rose up and expressed desire
for something TO eat. A sudden panic for
time paralyzed all present, but the sound
of his voice dissipated their fears, and every
attention was Immediately paid him. He
declared that he had heen conscious Of all
that was going on, but was unable to make
the least movement. He was soon so far
recovered as to give assurance of many
years of renewed life and activity. Ii had
been at first intended that he should have
been buried on the Saturday, in which case
he would have perished by one of the most
horrible of all deaths.

pally, the reformation Of the punished-sec- |
ondly, the security Of community against
depredations. Now, in regard to the former,
have not the least confidence in the power
of brute force to renovate the heart of a rs-
tional being. Its application will beget ha-
tired and hardness-of-heart, rather than love
and tenderness. / know there is kind of
reasoning by which you may convince the
criminal that he ought to be subjected 10 the
pains and penalties. BUTT is the reasoning,
after all, that subdues him-not the applica-
ton of violence. True, you may crush the
spirit with violence, but you can never win
affection. AS to the second, am yet to be
shown that community of christians, trust
ing IN God for protection, and discharging
their duty towards God andtheir fellow-mcn,
are less secure under the protection Of Gods
laws and penalties, thar under those framed
by man.
Brother Holcomb has not made out so
well in quoting scripture as he might have
doue. The passage cited presents a special
revelation, for the accomplishment Of Civ
en- purpose, and therefore is not to be taken
as general rule. vengeance is mine-I
will repay, saith the Lord" This was an
instance Of Gods taking vengeance in his
own way, on wicked people. 1t does not
follow that mankind are al liberty to execute
their vengeance in their way. Under such
passages of scripture as the one quoted, the
executors of human government must, in ey-
cry instance, wait until they have iinmedi-
ate and special directions from God. When
they have done this, of course it will not be
for me to question their authority.
Brother Holcomb "belieres" governments
based on violence "to be in accordance with
the will and plan of the Almighty" The
ground Of this belief he has neg lected &c
show-unless il be the passage of scripture
which he has quoted; and l really doubt
whether he feels himself very we'll balanced
on that, if he realizes it TO be under him al
all. If he does rely upon this passage, he
ought TO have brought in the thousand and
one parallel passages, and placed them by
, the side of it; and then he would have found
: himself resting on a web of gossamer.
