PERSONS SELDOM BURIED ALIVE
The newspapers contain every once in
while sensational accounts of the exhu.
nation Of bodies that give what is called
unmistakable evidence of having been
buried alive. Change in position of the
corpse, often asserted to be proof of pre-
mature interment, usually results from
chemical changes, especially from gases
generated by decomposition. Some Of
the Pennsylvania journals have lately
published high colored, horrible nara
tive of the unquestionabe revival Of II
man who ! al been entombed three days
at a town of that State. Doubt of his
death having been excited, the grave
was opened, and it was shown, according
to the local chroniclers, that be had
fought desperately for his life, imprints
of his nails being visible on the lining Of
the coffin, in some places torn to shreds.
This needs confirmation. 1t has in ali
probability been much exaggerated, and
warmly hued with Imagination. While
such things have happened, and may still
happen, they are of the rares. occurrence.
Winslow, the celebrated anatomis:, is
said to have had two narrow escapes from
burial alive, and to have published, In
consequence, a treatise on the signs of
death. Boucbut, Michel Levy and other
physicians have also expressed their
views on the subject but all testimony
procurabe establishes the fact that burial
alive hardly ever takes place in these
times. In corroboration Of this, many
German cities have in their cemeteries
mortuary houses, in which the dead are
kept some days before final interment,
the bell.pull being so arranged that the
slightest motion Of the body would sound
an alarm. So far these precautions have
been superauous. In more than forty
years not one supposed-to- be corpse has
proved 20 be anything else.-N. Y. Times

SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

A young German came to California,
nearly thirty years ago, determined to
get rich. He worked hard. He lived
cheaply as possible Every dollar that
he earned or saved he invested in real es-
tate, or loaned at four per cent month
on good security. The result was that he
became millionaire. Yet when his in
come was nearly q million year, he
lived in shabby apartments, and boarded
at the cheapest restaurants. His one OBJ
ject in life was the accumulation of prop
erty. Everybody regarded him as a cold,
blooded, close fsted. i;on>hearted man.
This successful (?) miser brought dis
ease upon him by overwork, and the doc
tors prescribed for him sea voyage, so
he determined to visit his native land
He went to celebrated watering place
hoping to be benefited by its baths. The
village where his parents had lived and
were buried was five miles distant. He
thought that he would visit their graves.
But being too poor to hire Il carriage he
walked to the graveyard. Finding at
the gate that the sexton demanded a
small fee from visitors, he said that he
would not go in. But passing around TO
the rear of the enclosure he climbed over
the wall. He looked at the graves Of his
parents, let us hope with some filal feel
ing, and then tried to go out as he had
entered. The sexton, however, was too
sharp for him. He caught him and took
him before the burgomaster. There the
millionaire denied that he had been in the
graveyard ut all. The sexton stoutly
averred that he had seen him climb the
wall. The fatigue of his long walk, and
the excitement of his alteration brought
on paroxyism of heart disease. and he
fell down dead in the burgomaster's Of
fee.
Such was the 'last of earth in the
case of this successful man. He left his
wealth te relatives with whom ho had
scarcely any intercourse during his life (;
IN whom he felt no special interest, ana
who, thoIgh glad of course to get the
money, cannot have much respect for
their miserly kinsman. So the eight
millions that this man gathered did not
make him happy in life or death. and he
could take none Of it to invest in the spir-
it world. He Is as poor there ms the poor
est beggar who dies in the almshouse.
Now many of our readers will say, "if
| was worth eight millions of dollars |
would get more enjoyment out of it !"
Are you sure that you would ? The hab-
its that one must form in acquiring
wealth are not easily broken There is
nothing that so shrivels u human soul as
getting money for its own sake.

PENNSYLVANIA has long furnished all
the contiguous States with building lnm~
Der, and has exported vast amount TO
foreign countries. Whenever some colos-
sal structure is to be erected in any part
of the county, the forests of the north
western section of that State are laid un-
der con tribution for the beams and grid
ers. There is hardly an important pub
lie building or bridge in the East, or pos
sbly in the West, that does not cuntain
Pennsylvania timber. Recently the for
ests of Northern Michigan have been
drawn upon for long beams, but until
within the last ten years the only tree
available for this purpose had 10 be float
ed down the west branch of the Susque>
hanna. The tremendous drain on the
forests near to the rafting streams of
Pennsylvania has robbed them of all
their tall trees, and the lumbermen must
now go further up the creeks and into
the more inaccessible hooks ir order to
find the stately pines which used to cover
the whole region with their study growth.

GIRLS FOR SALE AT A FAIR.

1t has grown into fashionable custom
OF late to have a mock auction sale of the
prettiest girls at church festivals. 1t
tends to increase the resources of the
church, and at the same time very clear
ly demonstrates in which way the affec-
tions of youth are bent. For it is reasons
able to suppose that no ambitious young
man will permit his sweetheart to be
knocked down to q rival until he has ex-
pended his last cent in the effort to be-
come the fortunate purchaser.
Acting upon this idea, fashionable
church in Denver is preparing for a festi
val, in which the auction business is to
form prominent feature. 1t has put
tho young ladies in quite flntter of ex-
citement, and unhappily, at this stage OF
the novelty for, however common in the
East, it is novelty here-has come near
wrecking the happiness of two young
creatures. The facts in the case are
these:
a young gentleman who confesses to
an amiable weakness for one ofthe young
ladies who are to be disposed OF on the
occasion referred TO, called on his Dulci,
nea few evenings since, and very nat,
urally the subject of the festival came up.
I'm to be sold, Charley. Did you
know it?" exclaimed the enchantress.
know ! Are you, though? | suppose
| shall have to buy YOU"
"Of course. But how much do yod
reckon | will sell for?"
This was a native inquiry, but it led
to a moment of brief but sagacous spec
ulation. Ifhe had any rival the girl
was likely to go high; if he didn't have
any, it would appear as if he was invest
ing in an exceedingly cheap article.
81 don't know" The words were long
drawn out, and his face was grave. Il
suppose a dollar or two"
1t he had reflected moment longer
he never would have made this observa-
ton. 1t was born, however; of sense
Of economy, and he had no idea of wha!
it would lead to. But as the words Tell
from his lips, he looked at his inamorata
and caught the fash of indignant blue
eyes, VIII ich made hi- heart sink.
"Ono or two dollars, indeed I'll sell
for fifty at the very lowest"
81 cant buy you then"
'Sir !" and the lady's face was rigid
with amazement.
"That isl mean to say coniound it,
Maria. | can't spare that much" and
the poor fellow looked appealingly at the
divinity which was about to shape the
end Of his purse. But the disaster had
come. The young lady rose from her
seat like a queen. and with the cruel re-
mark that gentleman who thought so
much of $50 was not q suitable person to
encourage MS lover, sailed majestcally
from the room.
And now the young mans soIl is con
vulsed with anguish, and his remarks
upon church festivals are fearful to con
template. --Rocky Mountain NeuS.

NEWSPAPER JoKEs.-A public lect-
urer, who discussed recently in Syracuse
the Ethics of being Funny" outlined
promising field for mathematicians. He
suggested that somebody should gather
a: andom ten thousand newspaper squibs
and then arrange and classify them so as
to calculate the percentage OF various
groups. He predicted that tho analyst
would find five per cent. relating to moth
er-in-laws, four per cent. 10 big feet,
three per cent, to doctors killing their
patients, two per cent to illustrating tho
maxim that it is poor rule which won t
work both ways, ard one per cent. to the
servant girl who kindled fire with nap
tha, and nothing has beezine f" OF her
since. Moreover, he weuld discover that
not only arc the majority of jokes built
on fow dummy ideas are in themselves
only conventions funny.

QUEER STATEMEHT.-Ne Nearly all med
fortunate enough to recover from n stroke
Of lightning, agree that the eectr lefty
acts with such extreme rapidity as to be
absolutely painless. Professor Tyndall
relates that while standing in the presence
Of an audience, and about to lecture, he
accidentally touched n wire leading from
charged battery of fifteen large Leyden
jars. Life was absolutely blotted out for
very sensible interval, without trace
of pain. In another second or so Cor.
seriousness returned. He saw himself in
the presence of the audience and in con-
tract with the apparatus, and realized
that he had received the discharge. The
intellectual consciousness of his position
was restored with exceed ing rapdity, but
not so the optical consciousness. Topre
vent the audience being alarmed, he
stated that it had often been his desire to
receive, accidently, such shock, and
that his wish had at length been gratlied.
But while making this statement the APP
peararce which his body presented to
himself was that Of being in separate
pieces. His arms, for example, seemed
to be detached from his body and suspend
ed in the air, Memory and power Of
speech and reasoning were complete long
before the optic nerve recovered from
the electric shock.

Which is BEST. The friend who is a
friend indeed will wear the whole year
round and in all weathers. A Summer
friend is with you only when the birds are
singing and the sun shining, but Win
ter friend or rainy day friend-for you
may call him either-is after all almost
as bad. There are n good many women
and more men who can feast and dance
with you, come to your weddings and
picnics, admireyour nice new things and
laugh at your jokes, who are driven away
by the tear in your eye or the poor meal
on your table, dress that is patched and
shabby, and faded carpets and curtains.
There are also good many men--and
more women-who, while they will come
and sympathize with you in trouble, and
watch you sigh and sigh with you, help
you bemoan downfall aud distress, sit by
your sick bed and weep at your funeral
when it comes off, begin to be envious
and spiteiul when you prosper, shun you
when you are at your best, aud actually
try to mske you miserable if you are
really bright and happy. They could
pity you from their souls it you looked
areadiully in you old bonnet and feel so
sorry you cannot afford another but
they could not keep from taking down
your vanity if you looked as though you
thought your new bonnet became you.
These people often get a reputation for
being very good hearted, which they by
no means deserve. There is certain
frank selfshness in sheerirg off when
people are doleful and their home un-
unpleasant, which is by no means as bad
as the spiteful selfshness which can not
endure to see others merry and content.
Friend is name not deserved by eith-
or but or the whole, rather think the
Summer friendship is the best-there is
less hypocrisy about it.-MarV Kyle

THE CRAM SYSTEM.

A significant index to the modern sys-
tenn of examining and its absurdities was
offered recently IN list Of 1870 questions
which was submitted to the graduates of
the Girls Normal School in Philadelphia.
This Institution has been cited as the best
in the American public school system by
Mr.. Mundella and other English educa-
tional experts it is a fair sample, there
fore, of the methods Of teaching. 1t is
to be remembered, too, that upon their
success in answering these questions de-
pend the relative positions and salaries
given TO the graduates rs teachers.
The Admirable Crichton himself would
have stood like Ounce beside these little
girls of II who gave replies to these tests
questions, if they really were test of
their intelligence and comprehension -
Besides abtruse problems in mathematics,
they were sounded as to their knowledge
of all physical and mental science; and
taken with a hop. skip and jump, out of
reversion, they comfortably settled the
cause Of the sun spots, gave criticism
on Carlyle, defined frictional electricity,
the difference between clumsy appear
ance and an awkward manner, and the
characteristics of tho Lake School
named the cretaceous deposits Of Europe,
two primitive elements OF the will, and
The kind OF education which makes the
perfect man, with 1870 other similar prob
lens, apparently proposed as test of
knowledge, critical ability, experience
and thought.
The brain of n sincere, adult scholar
would reel at the test questions which
were mere play to these bellies of IL it
would require years Of study to master the
facts, and a matured, keen judgment to
give intelligent answers to the problems
in literature, in the practice of teaching
and the conduct of life. One would shud
der at the strain put upon the brains of
these girls, if it had not come to light
that both questions and answers were
taken bodily out of certain text.b books.
The girls had learned like parrots the
criticism on Carlyle, or 1.-THE reason why
teacher should study the operations of
the youthful mind" precisely as few
years ago they learned the "Song Of Six
pence" in Mother Goose and we sus-
pect there was just as much meaning to
them in the one as the other recitation.
The next day the girls showed their nat
ural ability and the real condition of their
minds by essays on "a Solitary Day" and
"Voices in the Twilight"
This matter, absurd as It's, becomes of
importance when ii is remembered that
this very Normal School ranks first as ar
exponent of the system of teaching Tur-
sued IN our public schools. and that upon
the answer to these questions, which were
efforts only of rote memory, depended
the future relative position and salaries of
these graduates as teachers. No more
significant index could be found to the
popular method OF teaching. by which the
memories Of pupils are crammed with ;he
language of The text books, while the
other powers of their mind lie idle

DIR. GLENN, the candidate of the Dem
ocrats for Governor, owns tract of land
extending twenty-five miles along the
river front and about FIVE miles back.
This completely shuts out the farmers
from river communication. To remedy
this the Supervisors laid out a road
through the land. and the benevolent
doctor sued the county for damages and
got them, too. No wonder that DR..

EDWARD ALEXANDER GUY, OF Gin
cinnati, was IN 1862 possessor of $40, 900.
He was we'll educated, intelligent young
man, and particularly pious. Convinced
that the scriptural text, "Sell all that ye
have and give aims" was binding in
junction, he began to dispose of his
property and give the money to the poor.
He bestowed the gifts slowly and careful-
ly, and it was not until 1870 that the last
dollar was gone. He is now religious
missionary in Cincinnati, penniless, but
completely absorbed in his work.
