An old French shoemaker, who
boasted that nothing could frighten
him, was put to the test by two young
men. One of them pretended to be
dead, and the other going to the shoe
maker induced him to ''sit up" with the
supposed corpse. The shoemaker was
in a hurry with some work he had
promised to have completed the next
morning. So he took his tools and
leather and began working beside the
corpse. About II o'clock at night a
cup of black coffee was brought to him,
to keep him awake. He drank it and
resumed work. About one o'clock the
coffee having exhilerated him, forget
ting that he was in the presence Of
death, he commenced to sing lively
tune, keeping time with his hammer.
Suddenly the corpse arose and exclaim-
ed, in hollow voice when a man
is in the presence Of death he should
not sing" The shoemaker started;
then quietly seizing his Stout leather
strap, he suddenly dealt the corpse a
blow on the head, exclaiming at the
same time when man is dead he
should not speak" 1t was the last time
they tried to scare the shoemaker.

A REMARKABLE CAsg-Thc Murfrees
boro, (Tehn.) Monitor states, upon the
evidence Of two physicians and many
individuals in the neighborhood, that
young lady, who enjoyed good health,
until about four years ago, commenced
having iainling spells OF frequent occur
renee, the attacks recently becoming
severcr and terminating in convulsioDs.
She has been under medical treatment
for more than year, but all remedies
are of no avail, and she continues 10 get
worse. II is now discovered that there
is some kind OF reptile in her stomach
which comes into her throat, choking
her to such an extent that she is thrown
into couyulsions, her muscles becoming
rigid, her extrernities cold, the pupils OF
her eyes d;lated, aud the skin breaking
on her hands and face. The reptile has
been seen several times by different per-
sons, and is said to be about half an
inch in diameter, OF black color and
covered with a vllous or hairy coating
1t comes up into her throat, and some
times into her mouth, about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. She has refused until
recently for the purpose Of relieving her
of this terrible afilictioD, as otherwise
she cannot live much longer.
