eff MOTHER WE'RE UERE!.


My life is so weary,
So full of sad pain.
Each day brings its shadows,
Its mists and its rain.
There's no ray of sunshine
My pathway to clear;
But sorrow would vanish
If mother were here.
Each hope for me blooming
But blooms to decay,
Each joy that 1 treasure
Soon withers away.
Ny dreams, full of beauty
In gloom disappear,
But soon all would brighten
II mother were here.
Oh! lay my poor head,
In her dear lap once more,
And feel her soft fingers
Stray lovingly Ger,
And catch her fond whispers
And glad words of cheer,
How soon grief would vanish
ii mother were here.
How tender her tones were.
How loving and sweet,
As she told me of life,
And the trials I'd meet,
fot little / cared then
But little did fear,
For she was beside me,
Ny mother was here.
Now flowers bloom above her,
And winds in the grass
Breath low solemn dirges,
As gently they pass.
And I'm left to mourn her
With many a tear.
o., earth were far brighter
If mother were here.
But OH, when this life's
Restless moments are passed,
And I go to abide
With the angels at last,
Among the rich joys
Which in heaven I'll share,
Is mother, dear mother,
Who is waiting me there.

Buried Alive.

SALT LAKE, July "A horrible dis
covery was made here yesterday upon
eXhuming the body Of a young man
named William j. Lackhurst. who
was buried in the cemetery on the 23d
Of June last. On the 20tn of June
Lackhurst attended pic mic here,
and while there concluded to take q
bath. After coming out from his bath
Lackhurst went back to the picnic
grounds, and getting into a swing, be-
gan TO amuse himself. All at once.
while In the swing. his head dropped,
his muscles relaxed, and he fell heavi-
ly to The ground. He was picked up,
and every effort made to revive him,
but in vain. The senseless young
man was placed in a carriage and
driven home. where restorative agents
were again employed, but TO DO pur-
pose. After some hesitation the phys
ician in attendance, pronounced tie
young man dead, aud preparations
were made for hIs interment. The
body presented a singularly life-like
appearance-so much so, indeed, that
the friends felt uneasy about going On
with the funeral until mere positive
evidence that life had wholly gone
had been obtained. The funeral was
indeed delayed one day, but finally the
physicians reaffirmed their previous
conclusion that Lackhurst had died Of
heart disease. and the body was there
fore inferred June %. But one or two
friends of the family seemed haunted
10y the recollection Of that life-like face.
They went about whispering their
fears and finally these haunting doubts
spread throughout the city and led to
a proposal to eXhume the remains and
settle the question forever. PERMITS
sion was obtained from the au-
lhorities, and yesterday number Of
friends of young Lackhurst repaired
to the cemetery and opened the grave.
Upon lifting the coffin and removing
the lid, horrible andsBickening sight
met their gaze: The body was turned
over on its side. The skin and great
pieces of flesh had been torn from the
face the hair pulled out in kuge
patches from the scalp, the grave
clothes and coffin lining torn in shreds
and the finger nails worn down TO the
quick 10y tie frantic efforts of the man
to burst cerements Of his grave. The
sigat was the most terrible ever wit
Messed, and the stOutest-hearted Of the
party nearly tainted when tue coffin
was removed.
