n CORPSE TAXES A DRINK.-A cor
respondent of the Richmond Times
gives an amusing incident related tc
him by reliable and Trustworthy gen.
tleman, which he says occurred in his
county.
In the good old days before the wa,
thero~resided in his county several gen.
Ilemen who were great friends, each
or whom were fond of hunting and
were jolly friends in the chase.
On one occasion one of these gentle
men became violently i'll, and was
soon pronounced dead and laid awav in
INC death chamber. -Four of his old
trends and chums, who never forsook
him, even in death, gathered at his
home to pay one of the last sad Offices
to their old departed tricnd--that of
sitting up with the remains.
In those days it was customary IN
set out something to drink for the
guest who might be visiting. These
old companions of the dead man had
taken their "toddy," and after doing
so three OF them concluded to take a
walk out in the open air, leaving the
fourth gentleman to keep watch over
the dead.
While the other watchers were out
the lonely sentinel thought he would
go into the room to soc if everything
was all right with the corpse, but to
his horror, that which he thought was
dead and inanimatc had arisen from
his couch, gone to the table or side
board and was pouring out himself a
Drink. Overwhelmed with fright, the
Waterman made mad rush from the
house, leaving his friend to take his
drink alone.
