Risen from the Dead-A Singular Story
of Temporary Return to Life.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal of Fri
day, 10Th instant, tells this marvellous
tale: eve have an event to chronicle
that would scarcely be believed were it
not authoritative ~ vouched for by COM
petent witnesses-parties whose testi-
mony cannot well be disputed or set
aside. A young man III the town of
Vassalboro, in this county, was suffer
ing in the last stage of consumption,
the disease which had insidiously and
stealthiIy brought him to the verge of
the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to
speak, even to articulate syllable. He
became SO oppressed for breath that
his attendan 8 were compelled to raise
the windows in his room, put out the
fire, and resort to every means to obtain
fresh air. One day last week (Thurs
day We understand,) the young man
died. Friendly hands prepared the
poor, emaciated body for the burial;
but just as the attending friends were
arranging the remains for the casket
there appeared unmistakable evidence
of returning life, in what had seemed to
them an inanimate mass of clay. The
ear of an attendant was beut down to
the side Of the dead man, and it was
discovered that the heart had begun
again it's slow and measured palpita-
tons, 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 the death chamber. There
was no hHskiness in his voice; he ap-
peared lively and active; said he felt
not the slightest pain, but, to use his
own language, II feel just as well as. I
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 re-
corded 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 suddenly opened to a new
world, the real Heaven which had been
so many times in his thoughts, and had
given him so much comfort in his last
weeks of pain and sorrow. He stood
upon an eminence which overlooked a
vast and beautiful plain; the magnificent
plain stretched further than his en-
larged vision could penetrate, and he
described it in language which, to his
mortal auditors, seemed extravaganza in
the extreme. But the revivifed life of
the young man was not to continue long.
Before night he again resigned himself
to death. The body was kept reason
able length of time, and buried on Sun
day last, the funeral being largely at
tended. We haYe written out the par
ticulars OF this remarkable event sub
stantially as we have heard them, allow
ing our intelligent readers the privilege
of drawing their own differences"

A New Sect.

A remarkable sect has just come into
notoriety at Charlestown, Mass. It has
gained adherants chiefly among some
Norwegians and Swedish residents.
Modification of the flesh and vegeta-
rlanism are it's principal tenets, and new
converts are severely beaten to hasten
on the work OF subd uing the passions.
One poor women was almost pounded to
death by her husband and other more
advanced disciples, and being weak in
the faith, took refuge with some OF the
worlds people. Her protector thought
an appeal to the law the best course,
and the ex-pounders of the new faith
have been arrested 1t may be alleged
that the woman on joining the organi-
cation agreed to submit to- its discipline,
but We hardly think the Massachusetts,
court will recognize the legality of the
peculiar process employed to insure the
growth in holiness. CMcianats Ga

Afternoon Tea in Paris.

Zach day we sec some trace Of Eng
llSh customs; the habits and manners of
''pertidious Albion are being rapidly
imported into our fashionable world.
French ladies have heard of afternoon
| teas, the "drums" where ladies meet
| and exchange gossip, and the privileg-
ed few among the men are allowed to
drop in and pay their respects to the
lady Of the house. The example set
us by England has been considered
worthy of imitation; the hour for tea
has been fixed at five, so that in case of
need the ladies may have time to make
their tour de lac before dinner at
seven. Woe be to man who dares to
neglect the perfumed invitation sent
him for one of these teas, although our
medical men are yet undecided as to the
righteousness of swallowing two or three
cups of the the decoction of the
Chinese leaf. At the mystic hour of
five you are able to know how you
stand in the good graces of the lady of
the house to which you are invited. If
you find that your the is a tete a tete,
you may be sure you have been invit-
ed for the sole purpose of an exchange
of delightful gossip, and ay,always'v ven
ture to consider yourself friend of the
house; but if you find that other ladies
are present you can onl y do your bes to
amuse them all, in obedience to the
missive to which you are indebted for
your invitation. However, in the latter
case politeness does not oblige you to
remain long, and after ten minutes
stare it is considered no great breach
of etiquette for you to take your leave.
! Tea is not served on silver waiter by a
servant at these drums, but neat little
table, or et0gere, stands before each
guest, On the top is place for the
cup, and under the first shelve another
for biscuits or sandwiches, as the case
may be. The cups have ceased to be
cups; they have become literally bowls,
holding nearly pint, and the porcelain
manufacturers of Sewers aud Virzon
have had to alter nearly all their molds
to keep time with the fashions. Shep-
herds and shepherdesses, with figures
a In Vatican, are out Of date. The
mode to day is to be found in decora-
tons in imitation of old China; the capa-
,iOus bowls are without handles for the
most part, and the saucer, instead of
being round, is oval, forming kind of
a plate SO as to provide place for the
reception Of a biscuit or sandwich. Tea
has long been the beverage at evening
receptions, but it has only just come
into fashion as kind of absinthe to
give one an appetite for dinner, or
strengthen the constitution for an
hours ride in the Bots. Time alone
will show whether this innovation will
lapse into custom of French society,"

Guano Not An Excrement.

The long-received opinion that guano
is the deposit of nyriads of sea birds,
accommodating through long ages, is
rendered untenable by the recent inves-
tigation of DR.. Habel. After treating
the guano with an acid, microscopical
and chemical examination revealed that
the insoluble residue was composed of
fossil sponges and other marine animals
and plants precisely similar in construo-
ton to such as still exist in those seas.
The fact that the anchors of ships in
the neignborhood of the guano islands
bring up guano from the bottom of the
ocean is quite in opposition to the prev
alent belief. DIR. Habel therefore con-
siders that the deposits of guaao must
be the result of the accumulation of
fossil plants and animals whose organic
matter has been transformed into nitro
geneous substance, the mineral portion
remaining intact.

fell from her eyes and froze upon the
hard stiff hairs OF the buffalo SKIN.
[ do not know what mad words of re-
greet and SORROW / poured out at her
feet, but [ remember still the womanly
eagerness with which she took an blame
upon herself, and strove to infuse hope
into my fainting heart.
The air grew sharp and chill; the
light of the moon was dimmed by the
storm; and the wind, gathering fierce
ness and strength; beat louder and
louder in the fir trees, and wreathed
and shrieked in their skeleton branches.
The snow came down as [ never saw it
come down before; and there in the
drifts and the freezing air, alone and
lost. were Lulu and l and my splendid
grays.
The wind grew stronger, the drifts
grew deeper, and at last houndered
down the poor horses; and while urged
with painting breath and gentle cut of
the whip, everything was growing dim
about me; my hands were numb; sharp
band OF agony cut into my very brain. [
heard, as in dream, the voice of Lulu,
who, delicate and beautiful as she was,
could stand this torture better than /,
for she was born and reared in this
wide snow desert.
The last thing remember WAS draw
ing out my pistol, and, like one crazed
with last hope, firing it into the air.
Then, losing all my power Of will, [
sank back into the sleigh, now filled
with snow, and heard fainter and fainter,
the gentle voice of Lulu-felt, like an
enraptured ghost, the soft caress of her
hands, and her breath on my frozen
cheek.
It would have been then merciful
death to die. could T have known that
Lulu would have at last been safe on
the good heart of Jean; but my last
sweet dream of consciousness was pois
| oned by the thought of the bitter and
| lonely death [ had brought to this dear
child.
"Of course, gentlemen, [ did not die,
or should not have been here to tell
you this tale with moral. When I
[ awoke to consciousness I found n.y.
self in a huge bed, almost smothered in
coverlets of elder down, and faint idea
that [ was being manipulated into some
plastic material by an iron hand led me
to open my eyes and find bending over
me the noble face of Jean. Calm thy
self, friend, he said, in answer to my
| broken entreaties; Lulu is strong and
and well, and bruing for thee some soup
to put strength into thy poor body.
When, thanks to the great God, we
heard thy firing, and at last found you,
Lulu was able to speak and move, but
| thou vert as one frozen. And one of
thy grays is dead in the stable yonder;
the other, [ fear me, will not see the
dawn of day. Thou shouldst not have
ventured thus with those puny steeds-
it was unwise!' That was all of re-
proaches [ received from this noble
gentleman. I leave you to imagine my
remorse, gratitude, and the subsequent
VOWS [ made when through the kind
ness of Jean, [ was restored to civiliza-
| ton"
"But," said Browne, eve needn't go
to the wilds of Canada to find three feet
of snow.

nature 2 said Robinson.

LONGEVITY.

There are frequent and remarkable
instances OF longevity among the Rus
slams. A man born in 1850 has just
died. He was six feet five inches in
height, and was possessed of immense
strength up to the time of his death,
which resulted from 3 fall. Another
man born In the same year is still iv-
ing. Among the notabilities at Court
are number of octogenarians, and one
lady, a nonagenarian, who reads with
out spectacles, and walks without! stick.
Her eyesight must always have been re-
markable, as the Russian alphabet looks
as if it were drunk, and must be hard
thing to keep the run of.

FanCY'S MaSquerade.

Wandering sunny meadows DER,
Came a pretty child TO me,
And golden bow he bore, sa
While as blithe as any bee
Rang his voice across the lea,
Follow, follow. follow mel"
." Who, then, art thou my dear child ?
Sure I've seen that shining bow;
But that laughter, sweet and wild,
Sounds not like the voice know,
That is ever sweet and low"
"Follow, follow, where l go.'
'' am Love, thy lord and king:
See you not my arrows here?
Hark! their barbed pointlets ring
In my culver crystal-clear,
Come, If Love to thee be dear,
Follow, follow. all that hear!"
"sweet my child, 1 know thee now;
Thou art Fancy, fair and free
Thou mayst mask that sunny brow,
But thy rainbow wings see,
Vain thy masking, dear. for me:
Well | know true love from thee
He hath eyes as fair as thine,
But they wear softer sheen,
And sadness half divine
Wells the sweetness of his mien:
Yes, who e'er his faith hath seen
Knoweth it from thine, I ween.
All the voices Of the earth
Call him excellent and great,
But grief, hand in hand with mirth,
Still doth on his footsteps wait,
And the shadowy wing of fate
Darken Ger his royal state.
On his left hand and his right
Pain and pleasure ever go;
And before his eyes the sight
ef the anguish and the woe
That his dearest ones may know
Maketh still his laughter low!
Vain thy pretty masquerade,
Fancy fleet on Love alone
Can those constant hears be stayed
That have once his secrets known;
When thy facile wings have flown,
His sway hath but stronger grown"
