How II Feels to be Hung.

The West Chester PA. Record
says liver since the hanging OF George
Grant at the Chester county prison some
time ago, Alfred Chase, a colored youth
of thirteen summers, son OF Alexander
Chase. whose family mansion is located
near Seger's mill in Pocopson township,
has had great desire to know and
feel the sensation OF hanging. Several
times within the past few weeks he has
told his mother and sister that he
would like TO know Just how il felt to
be hung" and we think he has had his
ambitions gratified, at least he has not
exhibited any longings that way since
Monday last. On that day his mother,
before leaving home, corrected him for
his misdemeanor and snid he ought TO
be sent to the House of Refuge. This
rebuke the lad thought severe, and
soon after his mothers departure con-
cluded to experience the hanging SEN
sation. Procuring n rope he slipped
out OF the house, got upon chair,
fastened one end Of thcrope to clothes
line hook in the side OF the house,
secured the other end around his neck
and swung of. Some time after he was
missed from the house, and his sister, on
looking up his whereabouts, found him
hanging as above described-his feet
barely touching the ground. He no
doubt "felt just how it was to be
hung" much sooner than he had antici.
pated, as he had " scratcl gravel y
considerably in his Efforts - get back
upon the chair. In order to get " q
good feeling" Alfred did not depend on
the ordinary slip knot, but, after loop
ing the rope around his neck, gave it
two extra wraps, and luckily he did, for
this no doubt saved his life, as it pre-
vented tho loop from slipping and
choking him TO death. When discover
ed life was nearly extinct. He was
taken down and physician sent for.
When DR.. r. G. Smedley, of West
Chester, arrived. Alfred was still insen-
sible, his wiudpipe compressed, his
lungs congested with blood, his jaws
set, and it was some time before any
medicine could be administered, and
then only by prying open his mouth.
At last accounts he was getting along
very we'll If there are any others who
would like to know "iust how it feels
we would advise them to call on this
youth and first get his experience.

rather n piquant flavor comes to us
from Paris. At the Morgue, man
and woman presented themselves. The
former said he wished to find out
whether the body of a woman named
Virginia D. had been brought into
the Morgue since May, 1871. No trace
of such a body could be found. 4 was
sure of it, said the woman, "for 1 am
Virginia, and / wanted to prove to my
husband here present that l was not
dead" "Ah, Virginia, said the hus.
band, sadly, land so, alas! 1T is true
that YOU are not dead. The puzzled
official demanded an explanation. The
husband answered that while his wife
lived with him he was the most unhap'
pv of all mortals. Frequently she
would desert his bed and board, and al
last. in May, 1871, she went away and
didn't come back again. A story
reached her enraptured husband that
she had been killed, during the siege
by shell, and he was told that her re-
mains were at the Morgue. Suddenly
she came home, considerably altered, sc
that he did not recognize her, and he
therefore brought her to the Morgue tt

The SEA SERPENT AeAIN.-Captain
White, of the ship Sea Serpent, which
arrived at New York, repo,ts that on
the outward passage from New York to
China, in latitude 90 deg. 38 min. Ssec.,
longitude II deg. 45 min, his attention
was called, on the 18th d May, by the
seaman on the foretopsail, to a large
sea serpent passing within six feet of
the ships quarter. When the serpent
was some fifteen or twenty feet astern,
he lifted his head above the water,
opened his mouth, and looked around
after the ship with apparent surprise.
As near as Capt. White could Judge, the
serpent must have been fifty feet long
and two in diameter, and of deep
brown color. About three minutes af-
terward another of the same species
was passed on the other side of the ship
within about fifteen feet. He was coiled
up, and had the appearance of being
asleep.

Old Neglected GrayeyNrds.

You will seldom pass country vii
la., e without seeing a graveyard IN its
vicinity; but the old grounds in which
slate has not been displaced by white
marble are the only picturesque objects
OF this kind. Our ancestors selected as
their burial place quiet spot not far
from the village, and did not plant 1t
with trees because it was surrounded by
them. Their intention was to preserve
the relics of the dead by returning them
to the dust, and to commemorate their
life by simple record of their name
and age. The custom of making the
graveyard pleasure ground is of mod
ern origin. At the present time these
old Enclosures are shaded by few trees
that came up there without planting.
The most common are the locust, the
! wild cherry, the velvet sumach and the
Lombardy poplar; and we have learned
by habit to associate their rugged and
homely appearance with the venerable
objects that accompany them.
You can hardly conceive how much of
the beauty of these ancient resting pla-
ces of the dead is due to the slate that
forms the gravestones. Being OF dark
color it harmonizes with nature; it is
sober, but sombre, and unlike marble,
and has no offensive glare. These are
our only "rural cemeteries" Modern
burying grounds are but conservatories
of sculpture and other works of decor
stive art. The use of white marble, be
it ever so plain and simple, is inc N
patible with any idea of the epicturesque.
But when it is carved and embellished
in the highest style of ornate art, We
look upon the monuments as expressions
of the vanity of the living under an os-
tentatious display of reverence for the
dead. Woods and By Ways Of Neu
