WONDERFUL NARRATIVE.
TIE rRIGArE PRESIDENT; CON. ROGERS.

The facts hereinafter narrated, says the
Pennsylvania Inquirer, occurred in the year
1913, and were fully confirmed to John F.
Watson, Our Annalist of Philadelphia, by
the Commodore himself in 1924, through the
medium of Joseph Nourse, Esq, Register OF
the Treasury. After the occurrence, such
was the impressiveness of the facts on the
mind Of the Commodore, that he became q
religious professor. He stated to Mr.. Wat
son. that the Surgeon of the ship would some
day thereafter give q published account OF
the whole transaction. This seems to have
been fulfilled i'll the Hinerdnt, about the year
1924 At all events, the following, as repub-
lshed in the NorriStO,cn Herald of Sth July,
1929, gave the same as from the Htnerant.-
Although the name Of the Surgeon is not
given it is ascertained that r. L. Thorn, was
Surgeon, and VIM. Turk, Mate, for the year
1913.
The Hinerdnt had prefaced the relation by
saying: "It has come to us with evidence
sufficient to warrant confidence, as much as
any fact in history; and to doubt it, would
argue an affected scrupulosity foreign from
our convictions to wit;
Sand he that was dead up, and began to speak"

l retired, to replace something; and was
turning round to leave il, being alone, when
l was almost petrifed upon behoding Kem-
BILE sitting up in his berth with his eyes.
(which had regained their former briliancy
and intelligence fixed intently upon mime
became, for moment speechless and mo-
tionless. Thinks to myself, what have l
done or left undone, in this mans case, that
should cause him thus to stare at me at this
late hour; and alone l waited long time In
painful suspense, dreading some horrible dis
closure, when was relieved by his command
ing me to fetch him some water. With what
alacrity obeyed, can easily be imagined.
gave him tin mug containing water. which
he put to his mouth, drank the contents, and
returned to me then laid himself quietly
down for the last time His situation was
precisely the same, in every respect as be-
fore described. .-..
The time had now expired which he had
said was given him to remain in the body.
The next day by noon, all hands attended
as usnal to hear the funeral service read, and
see his remains consigned to a watery grave
1t was an unusually solemn period. Seamen
are naturally superstitious, and on this occa-
sion their minds had been wrought upon in
singular manner. Decorum is always obser-
we'd by sailors at such times but now they
were all affected to tears. And when the
body was slid from the plank into the sea,
every one rushed instinctively to the ships
side TO take u last look. The usual weights
had been attached to the feet; yet as if in
compliment to their anxiety to see more of
him, the body rose, perpendicularly from the
water, breast high, to the astonishment alrea-
dy created in the minds of men. | beg leave
TO remark that it was not thought proper TO
keep the body longer in the warm latitude we
were in. have now given short and very
imperfect sketch of the important events at
tending the last illness and death of William
Kemble.
The change produced upon the crew, was
for time very remarkable. 1t appeared as
if they would never smile or swear again but
the effect wore off by degrees, except when
the subject was renewed.

SNORING.

An anecdote was told some years ago, of
a polite Southerner, an accomplished and
kind hearted gentleman.
On one occasion he had been driving hard,
from morning till night, over the rough roads
in the neighborhood Of Columbia, S. c., and
alighted at the only comfortable-ooliing tav-
ern in the place, very hungry and very tired.
Sticking his eye-glass TO his eye-his con-
slant companion, he being very near sighted
he demanded a roast fowl, some good wine,
and comfortable room for the night.
The landlord was exceedingly sorrow"
but lie couldn't give him comfortable room,
the only place he could have to sleep in was
double -bedded room with another gentle
man."
Every well, Sir; let us have the best
you've got. No man can do more than that,
Sir"
After discussing his supper he sought his
room, turned in, and went to sleep. His
slumbers were destined to be of very short
duration. Before long he was awakened by
a call from the other bed, Sir! Sirw
BLESS my soul !" cried D, thrusting
his glass up to his eye, and endeavorng to
peer through the dark, whats the matter,
my dear Sir ?-lS the house On fire, or are
there bugs in your bed?'
Neither, Sir; but. my dear Sir, yon snore
so terribly that | cannot sleep, Sir. 1t is
terrific, Sir y
"Bless me, my dear sir; | am shocked that
! should have been so rude as to snore in u
gentleman's presence, and he Il stranger to
me, | really ask your pardon, Sir, and beg
you'll overlook ii. 1t wasn't Intentional, l
assure YOU"
"The apology was accepted Good hight
was exchanged, and both parties went TO
sleep again.
1t was not long, however before a rumbling
sound was heard from the polite gentleman 5
bed, every moment growing louder, until at
last it ended in thunderous dapasoD. The
other lodger, driven almost to madness, star
ted up and exclaimed:
Good gracious this is too much can't
stand it ! j say, Sir Sir ! SIR!! wake up,
Sirw
Bless my soul WE'LL what's the matter
nop cried out the offender, starting up IN
bed ;''you seem to be very restless, Sir"
''Restless! believe you!" said the dis
turbed gentleman you've been snoring, Sir,
worse than ever and cannot get TO sleep"
"You don't say so Have been repeating
my rudeness to stranger ~ am really ex-
tremely sorry, my dear Sir, but ! was really
asleep. Good uight-nigh light; very
sor--sor-sor-ry."
And off he drowsed again, and in five
minutes began snoring as loudly as ever, until
he was again awakened by his room-mate's
complaints.
Snoring again, have /, Sir" said the
unconscious offender. "Well the fact is, |
have had a hard days journey and eaten a
hearty supper-and it l snore, Sir, can't
help it. have apologized twice, and that is
sufficient. i am about TO go to sleep again
but allow me to inform you, Sir, that if you
wake up again, snoring or not snoring, Sir
shall at once proceed TO get up and give you
the soundest thrashing you ever had in the
whole course of your life Goodnight Sir !"
His SINNERS were undisturbed for the rest
Of that right.
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1855-06-23

When the summer of youth is slowly vast
ing away into the nighttal of age, and the
shade past years grows deeper and deeper
as life wears to its close, it is pleasant TO look
through the vista of time upon the sorrows
and felcities of our earliest years. If We
have home to shelter and hearts to rejoice
with Us, and friends have gathered together
around our fresides, then the rough places of
our wayfaring will have been worn and
smoothed away in the twilight of lie, and the
few sunny spots will grow more and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are they whose in
tercourse with the world has not changed the
tone of their holier feelings, or broken those
musical chords of the heart whose vibrations
are SO melodious, so tender and touching in
the evening air.
