From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Po'
TIE VENDUE.
TIE Or gEgk EEEE:

On the evening of December u, 1904 was
slowly and painfully approaching the village OF
Broomville on the borders of Ohio. The day was
in peculiar manner disagreeable; a mixture OF
sn NV and rain with fitful but violent northwest
wind, beat the tempest on the faces OF myself and
companion This partner in the tolls and chilly
evils we had to encounter, had only joined me on
the morning before We had lodged at the same
village, and setting out at the same moment
found, on few inquiries that we were JouTneyIng
towards the same place. tacitly agreed TO advance
together. Ii we had either felt inclined TO con-
verse. the bowling winds through the deep forest
would have prevented much social communica-
ton: but as to myself my feelings corresponded
with the forbidding aspect of the elements, and
NV fallog-traveler seemed still more absorbed and
silent Thus passed the day, until the opening of
Broomville. and the closing twilight presented
dimly Red Lion, frowning welcome to the com
forts of an inn. A few moments introduced our
faded macs TO the stable and ourselves to the com
forts of blazing wood fire in the sittlng-room OF
Thomas McFrane.
During our days ride, | had eyed my fellow
traveller with as much attention as our relative
situation would admit His frame was IN very
marked degree muscular; his limbs and features
though rough, were finely proportional ihough
the wrinkles of his face and his already blossom
ed head bespoke a man Of fifty years, his Vigor OF
motion, and the fire of his strongly speaking eye

sound Of voices quite distinctly, and stopped
to listen. I whooped! but not a sound in re-

the wind rustied amongst the leaves, or whis-
tied through the long grass: but that was eli /;
everything else was silent as the grave. In a
short time after most extraordinary illusion

by distinctly hearing a tune whistIed in the
direction Of the river; aud, on looking round,
saw through the trees an Indian with two

AN EVENING REVERE.

The summer day has closed-the sun Is set;
Well have they done their office, those bright hours
The latest of whose train goes softly out
In the Red West. The green blade of the ground
Has risen, and herds have cropped it, the young
twig
Has spread its plated tissues to the sun;
Flowers OF the garden and the waste have blown,
And withered; seeds have fallen upon the soil,
From bursting shells and in their graves await
Their resurrection. Insects from the pools
Have filled the air awhile with hurnnling wings,
That now are still forever; painted moths
Have wandered the blue sky, and died again;
The mother bird hath broken for her brood
Their prison shells, or showed them from the nest
Plamed for their earliest Eight. IN the bright Al
coves,
In Woodland cottages in barky walls,
In noisesome cells Of the tumultuous town.
Mothers have clasped with joy the newborn babe.
Graves by the lonely forest, by the shore
OF rivers and of ocean, by the ways
OF the thronged city, have beer followed out,
And filed and closed This day has parted friends,
That ne 'er before were parted; it hath knit
New friendships; it hath seen the maiden plight
Her faith and trust her peace to him who long
Hath wood, and It hath heard from lips which
late
Were eloquent Of lore, The first harsh tcord
That told the welded one her peace was flown.
Farewell to the sweet sunshine! One glad day
Is added now to chidhoods merry days.
And one calm day to those of quiet age.
Still the fleet hours run on, and as | lean
Amid the thickening darkness, lamps are lit,
By those who watch the dead send those who Irvine
Flowers for the bride The mother from the eyes
OF her sick infant shades the painful light,
And sadly listens to his quickdrawn breath.
o, thou great movement Of the universe,
Or change or flight of time-tor We are one;
That dearest silently this visible scene
Into nights shadow, and the streaming rays
of starlight, whittier art thou bearing me?
feel the mighty current sweep me on,
Yet know not whittier. Man foretells afar
,rl,4 .1,s..e~~- t,Ee stems, the very hour
lie knows when they shall darken or grow bright
Yet does the eclipse Of sorrow or OF death
Come unlorewarned? Who next of those ] love
Shall pass from life, or sadder vet shall fall
From virttie2 Strife with foes, or bitter strife
With friends or shame, and general scorn ofrnen
Which, who can bear9 Or the fierce rack of pain
Lie they within my path Or shall the years
Push me with soft and inofensive pace,
Into the Silly twilight of my age?
Or do the portals of another life,
Even now, while l am glorying in my strength,
Impend around me? O! beyond that bourne,
In the vast cycle Of being, which begins
At the broad threshold, with what fairy forms
Shall the great law of change and progress cloth'
Its workings? Gently-so have good men taught
Gently, and without grief the old shall glide
Into the new the eternal flow of things,
Like bright river OF the fields Of heaven,
Shall Journey onward in perpetual peace.

In the course of the morning thought I
heard the sound of voices. Iraised my head
little from the ground-all | could now ac-

opposite side of the river, and scarcely hun

exertions were unavaing; and my horror
and disappointment may bereadily conceived

in which, they had come. l had now given
up all hope, and once more resigned myself to
my apparent inevitable fate. Three hours
had passed, when | again thought heard the
sound of horses feet on the bed of the river.

little tea, which they gave me, and went to

A paper was read before the French Academy
of Science, in which the following extrsor-
binary instance was adduced reason for
abollshing the present custom of burying SO
soon after death:
A young female had been twice pronoun-
ced dead when only in trance, but had re-
covered in time to prevent being buried alive.
A trance came on, and in consequence of what
had previously occurred, permission was OBJ
tanned from the constituted authorities for the
body to remain above ground as long as de-
composition should not have taken place A
week-ten days past away-there was still
no decent position, but all the medical men de-
clared that she was dead, and at length she
was laid in her coffin. Only a few minutes
before the coffin was TO be nailed down, and
while the bell of the vilIag church was al
ready toing for her funeral, a female from
an adjoining village, who had been a school
fellow of the supposed deiunct, came TO tako
a last farewell. She stopped to kiss the lips
of her departed friend, and remained in that
position for some time, the bystanders at
tempted to remove her, lest her emotion should
be injurious TO her. She waved them Oh with
her hand, and remained with her lips upon
those of her friend, and breathing, as it turned
out afterwards, the warm breath OF llfe into
her lungs. At length she exclaimed g she

she was kissing her friend she fancied that
she felt her breathe, and 10 few minutes WAS
convinced of the fact. The female no was
supposed TO be dead was taken out of the cof-
fin and placed in a warm bed, and, 10 the
course of a few hours fully revived. She sta
