died from the bursting Of bloodvessel in the
head, on the evening of the 10Th instant. He
stepped into democratic meeting in the early

robust health, and was called upon to make
some remarks. He rose and informed his
friends that he did not come among them 70

had not continued more than two minutes

that had suddenly come over him. He sat
down, aud in few moments added that he
never felt so strangely In his life In mo-
ment after he commenced vomiting violently,
and requested to be- taken from the hall. He re-
marked that he feared he was making bis
friends much trouble, and shorty after, though
he was failing rapidly. that he felt as if his
neck was breaking of. He died in an nour
and twenty minutes from the time of the frs,

l.. The necessity of a future life is
sufficiently shown in the fact that so
much is left undone of our proper per-
formances in this.
Q. The birth of child is the impri-
sonment of soul. That soul must
work ITS way out of prison, and provide
wings for its future journey in doing
so. 1t is for each of US to determine
whether our wings shall be those of an
angel or grub.
3. But for the sorrows Of the heart
where would the affections find their
strength? Our visions only give out
their sweets, like aromatic leaves, when
bruised and trampled. He who has
not felt sorrow, may be scarcely said to
have known love: since the most pre-
cious joys of the soul arise from sym
pathies that are seldom given before
they are required and needed.
4. 1t is only where there is light that
there is shadow. Were there no sun
there were no cloud; but without the
cloud we should never see the rainbow.
Our cares are the sources mostly Of our
best pleasures, as they are certainly of
our nobIest charities and virtues.
5. There are spots of field and for
est that always wear so much freshness
of look tina: one-half think they must
be favorite places for angels to alight
on.
6. Tears are the penalties of pleas
ure. We must pay for all that we en-
Joy. If we snatch from Fortune, at
moments an unusual blessing, we are
instantly made to atone for il, if only
to let US feel that happiness is not pro-
perIy to be sought on earth.

Two English gentlemen once step
ped into a coffee house in Paris, where
they observed tall, odd looking man,
who appeared not to be native, sitting
at one of the tables, and looking around
him with the most stone-like gravity
of countenance upon every object
Soon after the Englishmen entered,
one Of then told the other that cele-
brated dwarf had arrived at Paris. At
this the grave looking parsonage above
mentioned opened his mouth & spake.

REsrosAr1os OF LIFE AFTER BEING

RESTORATION OF LIFE AFTER BEING
BURIED.
The following singular circumstance
is given with others in work re-
Gently Published, on Premature Burr
ais
The patient, Mr.. Edward Staple,
ton, had died apparently of typhns fe-
yer, accompanied, with some anoma-
lous symptom which had excited the
curiosity Of his medical attendants.
Upon his seeming decease his friends
were requested 10 sanction post NOR
tenn examination, but declined to per-
mitit. AS often happens when such
refnsals are made, the practitioners re-
solved to ,lsinter the body,. and dis
sect 1t at leisure in private. Arrange
ments were easily made with which
London abounds; and upon the third
night after the funeral, ,he supposed
corpse was unearthed from a grave s
feet deep, and deposited in the opera
ting chamber of one of the private hos
pitfalls.
An incisionaof some extent had
been actually made in the abdomen,
where the fresh and undecayed state OF
the part warranted the application Of the
battery. One experiment succeeded
another, and the customary effects SUI
pervenetl, with nothing to characterize
them in any respect, except on one or
two occasions more than ordinary
degree oflife likeness in the convul-
sive action.
Ii grew late. The day was about
to dawn; and ii was thought expedient
atlenghth to proceed at once to the
dissection. A student, however, was
especially DESTROYS of testing theory
ofhis own, and insisted upon applying
the battery to one Of the pectoral mus
cles.
A rough cash was made, and wire
hastily brought into contact, when the
patient, with hurried but quite UNI
convulsive movement rose from the
table, stepped into the middle of the
floor, gazed about him uneasily for a
few seconds, and then spoke. What
he said was unintelligi5le; but words
were uttered; the qualification was
distinct. Having spoken he fell hea-
Willy to the floor.
For some moments all were paraly-
zed with awe; but the urgency of the
case soon restored them to presence of
mind.
Upon exhibition of ether he revived
and was rapidly restored to health and
TO the society of his friends-from
whom, however, all knowledge of his
resuscitation was withheld until a re-
lapse was no longer to be apprehended.
Their wonder their rapturous aston
ishment- may be conceived.
The most thrilling peculiarly of this
incident is involved in what Mr.. S.
himself asserts. He declares that at
no period was he altogether insensible
that duly and confusedly, he was
aware Of every thing that happened to-
to him, from the moment in which he
was pronounced dead by his physi-
clans, to that in which he fell swooning
to the floor of the hospital. i am
allve,' were the uncomprehended
words which upon recognizing the To-
cality of the dissecting room, he
had endeavored in his extremity to ut
ter.
