Remarkable Case of Hallucination

Not very long ago, the young and beau
litul vile of one OF our citizens was called
to her final account, leaving her husband
sad, disconsolate and bereft. She was
buried in the adjacent cemetery, and the
husband retu ned TO his desolate home,
but not to forget the loved one. She was
present with him by day. in spirit, and in
his deans By night One popularity of
his dreams, and one that haunted him, be
ing repeated night after night, was this !:
That the spirit of his wife came to his
bedside and told him that the undertaken
had not removed from her face the square
piece of mnslin, or napkin, which had
been used to cover her face after death /;
but had screwed down her coffin lid with
it upon ler, and Il at she could not breathe
in her grave, hut was unrest on account of
the napkin. He tried to drive the dream
away, but it bidcd with him by night, and
troubled him by day He sought the con
ISOLATION of religion, and his pastor prayed
with him and assured him that it was
wicked to indulge such morbid fancy. 1t
was tie subject Of his own e ition before
he thr, n, of Craze; but still the 81 irit
came and told anew the story of her suffo-
c,tion. In despair, he sou ;ht the under>
taker Mr., Dickey, who told him that the
napkin Lad not been removed, but urged
him to forget the Circumstance, as it could
not be any possible annoyance to inanimate
clay. While the genteman frankly ac-
knowledged this, he could lot avoid the
apparition, and continual stress upon his
mind began to tell upon his health. At
l,ngth he determined to have the body disn-
tered, and visited the under;a ker for that
purp s., Here he was met with the same
advice and persuasion, and, Convinced once
more of his folly, the auated man returned
20 his home. III night more vivid than
ever, more tcrrl ly real than before, she
bedside and upbraided him for his want
of affection, and would not leave him until
he had p om;sed to reno the cause Of
all her suffering. The next night, with a
friend, he repaired to the sexton, who was
prevailed upon TO accompany them, and
there by the light of the cold, round moon,
the body was lifted from its narrox bed, the
coffin lid unscrewe1, and the napkin re-
moved from the face of the corpse That
n; ght she came to his bedside once more,
bat for the last time. Thank ng him for his
k ndness, she pressed her cold lips to his
cheek and came again no more. Reader,
