pr.cautiOn against Premature Burial.

DR. Bellows sees great many things
in Europe which ordinary tourists do
not see, and which ordinary writers do
not write about BE speaks, under date
OF Nuremburg, of the precautions which
are taken against premature burial. lie
saws that in the cemetery there is house
pleasantly arranged, amid flower beds
and shrubs, to which all the dead are
at once carried after being laid out, and
there placed on beds, each with a bell
pull so connected with the hand that the
least motion of the supposed corpse on
reviving must arouse the attendant and
bring instant attention. And this hu-
name precaution has never yet been re-
warded with single call upon It's watch
fulness. Once, however, in case where
the deceased had died with dropsy, the
subsistence of water caused fall of the
arm-the bell rang, and the attendant,
who had watched for years for the sound,
when it came, was so frightened that he
ran from his post and alarmed the neigh.
bors, who, after some time, rallied and
discovered the cause of the alarm. This
method of guarding against premature
burial is quite common on the continent,
but he thinks it is not worth adopting in
America though we commonly bury
much too early for decency.

their excitement was wrought up to

form aad address of Scion Robinson,
of the New York Tribune. His long
grey hair and grey beard, in addition
to the sepulchral voice and appraised
bands and eyes to heaven as be
stepped forth to address the assem-
blage, seemed to act like an electric
shock on the multitude. As bis
