The Singular Experience OF Miss

Nettie Gilbert,
Miss Nettie Gilbert, daughter Of Mr.. Fl s.
Gilbert, went to Boston in September, to
attend the Boston Conservatory, but was
soon compelled to return home on account Of
Ill health, which shortly after developed
into serious illness, from which her recovery
was at times matter Of grave doubt. Toward
the middle Of October, however, she had so
far recovered as to be able to be about the
house, and in the evening frequently enter
tanned her parents with school stories and
pleasant tales. She was relating one Of these
on Monday evening, Oct. %, when she stop
cd suddenly and went into maniacal jibber
ing, followed by commissions, which again
threw her life in the balance. She fingered
between life and death for twenty eight days
utterly bereft OF reason, and rapidly nearing
death. Her parents sat sentinel by her bed.
side during these weeks, and all Utica re-
Trained from outdoor demonstration. The
house was as tomb of the dead, least the
slightest sound should throw her into CON
WILSON'S; but on Monday evening the spell
was broken, the light of reason shone in her
wandering eyes, and with her parents as
joyous auditors, she took up the thread of her
story at the point where it had so suddenly
broken off weeks before, and carried it to the
close, and when she had finished she turned
to Mr.. Gilbert with:
81 was very i'll last night, wasn't papa?''
She had not realize the lapse of time her
long illness had been blank to her, and the
month had gone as completely as though it
mad never been. To have lost twenty eight
days of life is not misfortune of great
moment, for perhaps some retrospective
hand reaching out Of the darkness in which
they have been submerged, may recall them.
