two cases of trance or suspension of
animation. now published for the first
time. In the first we have the expert
ence of one of my owa relatives. de-
voted Christian. who died many years
ago. l received the account from her
own lips. On a certain occasion she
was seriously indiSposed and, being
obliged to submit to surgical operation,
she swooned and was to all appear
ance in the embrace of death. Der
friends present thought her dead; but
after a short time she revived and
lived many years afterward. When
she swooned it appeared to her that she
was suddenly transported to the margin
of serene lake environed by the most
beautiful scenery. Approaching her
on the water she saw in boat two per-
sons clothed entirely in white. She
was given to understand that they were
coming to receive her, and was about
reSigning herself to their care when,
reyiving under the means used for her
restoration. she opened her eyes upon
earth again, to the joy of the anxious
credulouS, but woman of excellent
common sense; yet from this time to
the day of her death she believed that
when the final summons came she
would be received by the white-robed
boatmen.
The other somewhat similar instance
comes to me from an intelligent and re-
liable gentleman of my acquaintance,
who received his information from the
person who was the subject of the
trance described. A respectable old
gentleman in one of the Eastern states
had been long living wldower, and he
was so Sorrowful at the loss of nearly
all of his old friends that he felt himself
more nearly allied to the world of spirits
than to this. Suddenly, one morning as
he was looking out of the window of his
bed room, things began to present
strange appearance, and he threw him
self upon his bed, where. at the hour of
breakfast, he was found in a state
of insensibility. 1t was about four
hours before medical aid could be pro-
cured, and just before the physician ar
rived he awoke to life, and soon re-
gained his usual health. He also be-
lieved that while in this trance he Wis
tied the world of spirits, on his en-
trance to which he said he met his wife
in all her virgin loneliness, in company
with others he had known here. Spread
out before him was a landscape en-
chantingly beautiful; he had passed
safely through the dark valley of death.
and was filled with inexpressible JOY
and thanksgiving. He walked aud con-
verSed with his wife and celestial asso-
ciates, who told him he would return to
the lower world, but would ere long re-
join them in happiness eternal. The
thought of returning to the natural
world was painful to him, for he wished
never more to leave them. But in
moment the separation took place, and
he again found himself in the tenement
of mortality. He fully believed that Oh
his final entrance to the silent land his
reception would be only repetition of
that already so wildly impressed upen
his mind.

Shame and Thanks.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Among the articles for sale at auction
was pretty pair of crutches. In the
crowd was poor cripple boy, and the
crutches were just the right length for
him. He was the first to bid Oh the
crutches. An elderly, well-dressed man
bid against him. There were cries of
s'Shame!" "Shame" in the crowd.
The boy made another bid, and once
more he was overbid by the same old
gentleman. The boy bid all he was
able, and turned away with tears Ill his
eyes. The crutches were knocked down
to the elderly man, and to the great SUI
prise of all he took them to the poor
little boy and made him present of
them. There probably never was an
old man who was more abused and
praised in such a short space of time as
was the purchaser of the crutches. But
he heard none of it, and disappeared
even before the grateful boy could
thank him.
