TRANCE SENSATIONS.
Tho Feelings Of Horror Experienced by
Seemingly Dead Girl.

Tho Feelings Of Horror Experienced by
Seemingly Dead Girl.
The sensations of a seemingly dead
person, while confined in the coffin. are
mentioned in the following case Of
trance: "A young lady, an attendant
on the Princess -, after having been
confined to her bed for great length
of time with a violent nervous disor-
der, was at last. to all appearance, de-
prived of life. Her lips were quite
pale. her face resembled the cOunte-
nance of dead person. and the body
grew cold. She was removed from
the room in which she died. was laid
in a coffin. and the day of her funeral
fixed on. The day arrived. and. ac-
cording to the custom of the country,
funeral songs and hymns were sung
before the door. Just as the people
were about to nail down the lid Of the
coffin. a kind OF perspiration was OBJ
served to appear on the surface OF her
body. 1t grew greater every moment.
and at last kind of convulsive motion
was observed in the hands and feet of
the corpse. A few minutes after. dur
ing which fresh signs of returning life
appeared. she at once opened her eyes
and uttered most pitiable shrek.
Physicians were quickly procured. and
in the course of few days she was
considerably restored and is probably
alive at this day.
1.-The description which she gave Of
her situation is extremely remarkable.
and forms curious and authentic adj
dition to psychology. She said it seemed
to her that she was really dead. yet she
was perfectly conscious of all that hap
pened around her in this dreadful state.
She distinctly heard her friends speak
ing and lamenting her death at the side
of her coffin. She felt them pull on the
,lead-clothes and lay her in them. This
feeling produced mental anxiety
which is Undesirable. She tried tc
cry. but her soul was without power.
and could not act in her body. She
had the contradictory feeling IS if she
were in the body and yet not in it, =.
one and the same time. 1t was equally
impossible for her to stretch out her
arm. or to open her eyes. or to cry. al
though she continually endeavored &c
do 80. The internal anguish Of her
mind was. however. 1t its utmost
height when the funeral hymns wert
begun to be sang. and when the lid o:
the coffin WAS about to be nailed down.
The thought that she was to Be buriec
alive was the one that gave activity Is

THE HOME WHERE WAS BORN.
KANSAS,

II my hand were but an artists,
would paint for you this scene:
Those two barns, thai low red farmhouse,
And the deep old well between;
But would add the charm and brightness
That its beauty wore for me.
When thought the whole world bounded
By the woods my eyes could see:
When forgetfulness would find me
With the sunset latest rays;
And the locust in the door-yard
Bloumed for months instead of days;
When my childhood chosen playmate
Was the brother Of my heart;
When twas JOY to be together
And grief to be apart.
Then the morning let no shadows
Linger from the darkest night,
And a day could hold no tangle
That the next would not bring right.
Then our mother bent above US
With her brown hairs ripping sheen,
And the year was always May-time,
And the woods were always green.

DOING YOUR BEST.
Good Advice for loung Men DESTROYS Of
Developing Themselves,

0ooo ADVICE Tor 1Oung Men DESTROYS 81
Developing Themselves.
The only way for clerk to develop
himself is to DO his best. He can get
along. no doubt, with less than this.
but he ought to wish to get along as
far as possible-to make the most pos
sible Of himself this he can not
do it he stops short Of what we may
! call strenuous endeavor. There are
plenty of employees who will take
things easy" whenever the eye of the
boss is not on them; and If you are of
this category there will be little to sim
gle You out of the ordinary run of
clerks. But proper-spirited young
man will not be content to think of be-
ing merely an average man of a lot of
average fellows; he will rather find
satisfaction in thinking that he may
become separated or distinguished
from the others in the mind Of his en-
ployer. and to do this he must have
other and higher standards by which
to measure himself than have those
clerks who wish to get along as easy as
possible. and who think they are
making personal gain when they take
advantage of chance to do less than
full service to the man who employs
them. AS stream can not rise
higher than its source. so your dis
charge of your duty to your employer
will not be superior to that of a dozen
other clerks unless your motives, and
your conceptions of duty, are higher
than theirs. II will have rs easy and
as slightly laborious time as l can
have. and appear to be doing my
work." is not a conception of duty
which is likely to single you out as q
young man of different stamp from
most young men who work for wages.
As rule it is the clerk who is worthy
who gets promotion. not the one who is
bent on having an easy time; and q
man who gives less than his best serv-
ice is not giving worthy service in the
true sense of the word.
The chance, therefore, Of getting on
with your employer is promoted by Civ
ing him your best. and so is the prob
ability of your mastering the business
and becoming an adept in it. But
there is another point of view which
also presents reason for doing your
best. A man is unit, a'single thing.
and he can not think. or do. or be any
thing without its affecting his entire
individuality. He can not slight his
duty to his employer without sighting
his duty to himself. The employer
may never find it out but the man who
does the slouching service when he
should have done the thorough service
has to that extent developed himself into
a fraud, and so done himself serious
wroBg. To the clerk given to self-ex-
animation. is this satisfactory redec-
ton? Is the doing of half-service the
sort Of training to draw out your best
powers? Is not the doing of poor work
for your employer training you to do
poor work for yourself? Is ~ not true
that what man does that he is? If
you defraud your employer are you not
a fraud? Ifyou cheat him out of full
service. are you not cheat? Can you
do less for him than conscience tells
you ought, and still feel sure that you
will obey conscience in other matters.
