Was it Death or oaly Suspended Animation :

This story is told by TIE Augusta,
Maine, Journal: A young man in the .
town of Vassalboro', in this county was
suffering in the last stages Of oonsump
ton, the disease which had insidiouslv
and steadily brought him to the verge
of the grave. For several weeks lie
had been entirely PROSTATE and unable
to speak, even to articulate syllable
He becames so oppressed for breath that
he compelled his attendants to raise
the windows iii his room, put out the
hres and resort to every means to obtain
fresh air. On the the 18th ut.. the
young MN died Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, cmaciated body for the
burial; but just as the attending friends
were arranging the remains tor the
casket, there appeared unmistakable
evidences Of returning life in what had
seemed to them an inanimate mass Of
clay, and it was discovered that the
heart had begun again its slow and
measured pa!pitations, 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
I
husHness III his voice: he appeared
lively and active, said he felt not the
slightest pain, but, to use his own
language, ''lteel just as well as ! ever
did" AT his request the neicebors
were all called in, who crowded the
house for hours declaring that the re
covery of the man was eqnal 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 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 emlnence which over
looked a vast and beautiful plain the
magnificent plain stretched farther
than his enlarged vision could pene-
trate and he described it in language
which, TO his moral auditors, seemed
extravagant in the extreme But the
reviviied 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
