The following epistle was taken by Napoleon

JESUS CHRIsr commenced his ministry, by Publiu
Lentullus, the governor of Judea, to the Senat

in those days for the governor to write home AM

"CoNsoRIPT Fathers There appeared in
these our days man named JESUS CHRIST, who
is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is ac-
cepted as prophet of great truth but his own
disciples call him the Son OF Cop. he hath
raised the dead, cured all manner OF diseases
He is a man of stature somewhat tall ana comeiy'
with very ruddy countenance, such as the be-
holder may both love and fear. HIS mar Is tne
color of the filbert when fully ripe, plain TO his
ears, whence downward it is more orient OF color,

middle of his head is q seam OF partition OF long
hair. after the manner of the Nazarites. His
forehead is plain and delicate; his face without
spot or wrinkle beautifed with a comedy red ;
his nose and mouth arc exactly formed his beard
is of the color of his hair, and thick not of any
great height, but forked. In reproving he is
terrible in ,admonishing, courteous; in speak

but many have seen him weep. man, for his
surprising beauty, excelling the children OF men,"
The foregoing goes the rounds of the United
States press about once in every ten years We
remember hearing It read full thirty years ago.
We have known one man to believe implicitly in
it, though he never could be induced to believe a
single sentence in the Bible. We are not salts
g. AL A
ton of the personal appearance Of the Saviour Of
men appears to be withheld from them, probably
lest they should be disposed to worship him in
his human form, or its semblance, rather than in
the divine attributes which were his. The only
instance in the Bible, we believe, Of an allusion
to the appearance of the person of the Messiah
(if, indeed, this be such) is to be found in the
ffty-third chapter of the Prophecy of Isaiah,
wherein he is described as without form or come

Strangers to the person of Christ were often
singularly impressed by his words; but in no
instance do we find his mere presence to excite
either awe or admiration in the beholder.
PREMATURE BURIAL.-The Albany Register
in the course of an article on this subject, relates
the following instance:
!'Some years ago we were perfectly cognizant to
an occurrence of this kind, which was of the
most heartrending character. The wife of a
gentleman was taken suddenly i'll in church, and
was carried to her home in a state of syneope.
In few hours she partially recovered, but i'm
mediately relapsed, and never again showed any
signs of consciousness. She lay in this condi-
tion nearly two days, battling the skill of the
physicians and then, as it was thought and as
there was almost every reason to believe died
No signs Of breathing could be detected the
limbs became rigid and cold, and the eyes re-
manned open with the fixed and CLASSY stare of
death but there was no change an The color Of the
skim This was the only reason in the world for
supposing that dissolution had not taken place
The poor bereaved husband almost frantic at the
loss of the young and beautiful wife whom he
almost idolized, chung with desperation to the
hope limned in her face, and long resisted the
unanimous decision of the physicians that she
was certainly dead They told him, what is
doubtless true, that it sometimes, though very
rarely, happens that there is no discoloraton for
days and even weeks after dissolution has taken
place. But still he resisted and it was not until
three days had passed without the faintest sig
nal Of change or sign of life that he finally
gave up, and suffered the burial to take place
She was entombed in vault. Months passed
A cemetery having been laid out, the husband
purchased and beautifed lot, erected an ele-
CANT monument in it, and, when all was ready
superintended the removal of the body of his
wife from the vault to its final resting place.
When the vault was opened he remembered the
circumstances of her death, above detailed, and
a desire suddenly seized him to once more behold
the corpse. BY his direction the coffin lid was
removed. The spectacle which presented itself
was inconceiyably horrible, for it showed that
she had been buried aliUe. She had turned quite
over upon her side; she had clutched her nails
into the coffin until her fingers had bled portions
of her grave clothes were torn; and, in her hor-
rible struggles, she had contrived to carry her
hand to her head, and had plucked from it mass
of hair, with portions Of the cap that covered it
"The poor man never recovered from the shock
of that awful spectacle. He was borne away
senseess, and for the rest of his weary life was
an utterly heart broken and miserable being"
