Risen from tho Dead.


The Augusta (Mc.) Journal of Friday,
10th inst. tells this marvellous tale i:
We have an event to chronicle that
would scarcely be believed were it not
authoritatively vouched for by compe-
tent witnesses whose testimony
cannot we'll be disputed or set aside. A
young man in tho town Of Vassa'boro, in
this county, was suffering in the last
stages of consumption, the disease which
had insidiously and stealthily brought
him to the verge of the grave. For
several weeks he had been entirely pros.
trate and unable to speak, even to articu.
late syllable. He became so oppressed
for breath that his attendants were COM
PEELED to raise the windows, put out
the fire, and resort to every means to OBJ.
tain fresh air. One day last week (Thurs.
day, We understand,) the young man died.
Friendly hands prepared the poor. ema.
ciated body for the burial; but Just as
the attending friends were arranging the
remains for the casket there appeared un-
mistakable evidences Of returning life, in
what had seemed to them an inanimate
mass Of clay. The ear of an attendant
was bent down to the side of the dead
man, and it was discovered that the
heart had begun again it's slow and meas.
ured palpitations, the pulse throbbed,and
the" young man arose from the death
shrouds, opened his mouth and spoke in
clear and distinct words to those who
stood appalled, in tho death chamber.
There was no huskiness in his voice; he
appeared lively AID active said he felt
not the slightest pain, but, to use his own
language: 81 feel just as we'll as l ever
did,"
At his request the neighbors were all
called in, who crowded the house for
hours, declaring that the recovery of the
man was equal to any miracle recorded
in the scriptures. He told this startled
assemblage of his friends and neighbors
that, as he died, all things seemed dark,
but only for an instant; his eyes sud-
denly opened to q new world, the real
heaven, which had been SO many times in
his thoughts and given him SO much COM
fort in his last weeks of pain and sorrow.
He stood upon an eminence which over.
looked q vast and beautiful plain; the
magnificent plain stretched further than
his enlarged vision could penetrate, and
he described it in language which, to his
mortal auditors, seemed extravagant in
the extreme. But the revivified life of
the young man was not to continue long.
Before night he again resigned himself to
death. The body was kept reasonable
length Of time, and buried on Sunday
last, the funeral being largely attended.
We have written out the particulars Of
this remarkable event substantially as we
have heard them, allowing our intelligent
readers the privilege of drawing their own
differences.
