The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1876-09-22

PROF. NIXON, who does business I'M
der the firm name Of the Egyptian
Prophet and Enchanter, performed
his resurrection trick near Charleston,
5. c., on August %. He was buried in
a pine coffin six feet under ground. and
at the end Of half an hour burst from
the tomb at the sound Of a brass bugle
blown by a colored Gabriel, and imme-
diately called for a drink of whisky.
The grave was six feet long and six feet
deep. About eight inches from the
headboard the trickster had dug a blind
well about six feet deep. This was
rooted with thin boards about foot
and half below the surface, and these
were covered with earth. When the
coffin was lowered into its place and
the grave was filed up, the corpse
Knocked out the headboard and grubbed
his way through the six inches Of earth
that separated him from the blind well.
Crawling into it. and having enough
air 10 keep him alive for several hours,
he quietly awaited the signal for resur-
rection.

TRUANT MADGE.

The shadows lie sleeping on field and HILL
The COWS came home an hour ago;
The bees are hived and the nests are still
Where can the child be lingering SOP
oh, where can the little laggard stay?
So swift of foot as she has ever been
1t is not so far by the meadow way,
To the lane where the blackberry vines begin
Her mother stands in the doorway there,
Shading her eyes from the setting sun,
And up and down, with an anxious air,
Looks for trace of the truant one.
Has she wandered on where the swamp-howers
blow
In the darkling wood and lost her wa, 2
Has she slipped in the treacherous bog below
That hides under MOSES green and gay ?
Nay, timorous mother, spare your fears
Your little maiden is safe the while;
No marsh-bird screams in her startled ears
No forest mazes her feet beguile.
She is only standing amid the rye,
There ut the end of the clover plain,
And pulling daisv-star, 10 try
Whether her love loves back again.
And Win bends over the bars beside
Two heads are better than one, forsooth +
Leaning and locking eager-eyed,
To see if the daisy tells the truth

Say I Died for Love. "

Seldom in those dramas in real life
that in tragic pathos surpass all that ever
was writ by playwright, has been brought
anything more touching than the few
lines, in schoolgirl scrawl addressed
her parents and sisters by julia Sicbel,
beautiful young Jewess of San Fran
cisco, who few days since committed
suicide. Hers was simply the old story
of unrequitted love. There was no faint
of guilt about it to awaken remorse nor
broken vows to be reproachcd, but only
blank despair. Al in those few lines she
unwttingly betrays. her love was I'M
sought, but so al-compassing was it that,
with unmaidenly boldness, she sued for
love in return, and finding that hopeless,
the light went out of life and she sought
refuge in death Her letters tell it all
with that transparent simplicity which
no art can simulate To her parents
she wrote
DEAR MOTHER AND FATHER II pray
you will forgive the sorrow | cause you
by my rash act but life is one dull
blank to me now Do not blame Ben, for
he has tried to reason with me, but all
in vain. He can give me no hope that
| shall ever be more to him than friend.
and, rather than live without his love, |
have determined to take my life. There
are a few requests / would ask Of you and
then am ready to die. First of all,
promise me, dear father, that You will
hold Ben entirely blameless, and for the
love bore him treat him ever as
friend do not want mother, Annie,
or Mollie to wear mourning for me, for
the black garments would only be a re-
minder of my sad end Let me be
buried where the sun shines. and try to
keep my grave green. Say | died for
love. That is all want the world to
know. Try to bear my death bravely,
and take comfort from my sisters and
brothers Dear parents, forgive and
pray for your poor daughter.
DEAR MoLLIE II would ask of you
few favors They are these; When !
am dead give mother my gold set, Annie
my turquoise ring, keep my watch and
chain and pearl ring for yourself, and
give to Fannie that set of fancy work /
had commenced Let me be buried with
my plain ring on my finger, and put the
buttons Ben gave me in my coffin.
Keep on with your music and play often,
for | always dearly loved to hear you.
Now, dear Eugene, Fannie, Jake, and
Annie, Maurice and Mollie, all good-by
Kiss me before am laid in my grave
