eenlly made hail rowu time (for tlie nbow)
land is Ijq the embodiment of n vn.t nmount of
the very best quallly of niillirucllo coal, ImvlliK
every facility tlmt coulil bo denlred for tram
portatlpn In nil direction!. The nlmvo tract Ik
crooned by a gmjd rond, and alio directly Id
front, and Joining are the Ijicknwniina ,tni(m,
burg rullrnnd, and tho Wyoming canal, thin of
fording tho very 1msI nd vantage of u currying road
and canal running to tho very mould of the
mines m Ithout excuse to the company,
Tho measurement of tho dlflcrentbtHN or yearns
already developed was carefully obtnlned and
added together! tho thickness of theso wains,
Including tho eelcbruteil "lied Ash," "lluck Moun.
tain," or "Orand Tunnel" vein, Is thlrty.one anil
a half feet, (31J), every cubic yard of which will
yield a (on, giving a largo amount of Iho best
quality of coal.
Tholocntln Is such that all the veins may l,c
cut and worked to the greatest possible ndtantngo
alHive water level, and nt much less expense than
can lo done from collerles oH'lHtlng below water
level,
Tho con! can be brought to the surf.ico through
drifts or tunnels which drain thewntcr from tin
mines and snves the lioljtlng nf the coal. Ho the
eligibility of Micro hinds for cheap mining Is un
questionable. Very lately the "Omnd Tunnel"
or "lied Ash" vein has been opened, and Is now
producing as flue a quallly of eonl as has ever
been produced In the nnthruclto regions. The
breaker now In operation Is cnpnble of prejurUg
from VA to SX) tons per day. Thosurfacecnntulns
an abundant supply of wood nnd timber very vul.
liable fur mining purposes, which gives the tract
the advantage of many other conl hinds. Tho
fuel that almost all valuable coal lauds are being
rapidly taken np by heavy capitalists or large cor
porations, ebows llint they must steadily and
greatly rise In the market value, while with tho
Immense and constuntl' Increasing demand for
this coal, and thu llntlrond and North Ilrnnch ca
nal, passing by the mouths of the mines, through
the Great Iron making districts of IUooinsburg,
Itanville, Duncannon, Hnrrlslnu-g, Mlddlctuwn,
Marietta, nnd Columbia, to tldc-wnter nt Havre
do dr&ce, i,nft enu scarcely conceive of n more
profitable or permanent source of wealth than
may be round in lands like these.
In order to bo able to open their works on a
moie extensive plan, this company has placed a
portion of their capital stock In market on the
following terms: Any itorson taking onor more

THE METEMPSYCHOSIS.
a (ii:uman i.i:ii:ni
COMINCl-.n.
In consequence of tho peculiar oppor
tunities which I enjoyed, I soon discov
ered that Wolstang, whom I had long
thought rather hrghlyof, was in reality
a very bail character. Somo persons of
tho worst description In (iottlngcn ap
peared to have been his aoeiates.
Times without number 1 was accosted
as an acquaintance by gamblers, pick
pockets, and usurers; mid through their
means I unravelled it train of impo
ture, prolllgaey, and dissipation, iu
which ho hail been long deeply involv
ed. I found out even wor.-o than this
at least what I dreaded much more.
This was u forgery to an immense
nmount, which he, in concert with an
other person, had committed on an ex
tensive mercantile house. Ihe accom
plice, in a high state of trepidation,
eamo to tell mo that tho whole was iu a
fair way of being blown, and that If we
wished to mivo our necks, an Instantan
eous departure from the city was indis
pensable. .Such a piece of Intelligence
throw mo Into great alarm. Ifl re
mained, my apprehension would ho In
evitable i and how would it be possible
for nio to persuade anyone that I was
not Wolstang'.' My conviction and ex
edition must follow; anil though 1 was
now so regardless of llfo that I Mould
gladly havo been iu my grave, yet there
was something res'olting iu thu idea ol
dying lor a villian, merely Ihciiu-u I
could not show that I was not myself.
These rellectlous had their due weight,
und 1 resolved to leave (Iottlngcn next
day, and escape from the country aj
together.
While meditating upon this fcheme I
walked about three miles out of town
for the purpose of maturing my plans,
undisturbed by tho noise and hii-tla of
tho streets. As rwiisgoingslowlyalon;
I precelved a man walking about a fur
long before inc. Ills gait and dress nr
rested mv attention narticularly, and
after n few glances I was convinced that
ho must bo myself. Tho Joy that pre
vailed my mind at this sight no language
can dcscrllio: it was as a giiiupso oi
heaven, and tilled nio with perfect ec
stasy. Pnulonce, however, did not lor
sake mo, and resolved to steal slowly
upon him collar him, mid demand an
explanation. With this view I approach
ed him, concealing myself as well as I
could, and was so successful that 1 had
actually got within ten yards of my
prey without being ill-covered. At this
instant, hearing footsteps, he turned
round, looked alarmed, and took to his
heels. I was after him In a moment,
and tho flight on onu side, mid pursuit
on tho other, wero keenly contested.
Thanks to Wolstaug's long legs, thuy
wcro better than the short ones with
which my antagonist was furnished,
and I caught lilm by tho collar, as ho
was about to enter a wood, I grasped
my body with Herculean gripe, so terri
fied was I to lose it. "And now, you
villain," said I, us soon fts I could re
cover breath, "tell mo the meaning of
this. Jtostoromemy body.or by heaven
I will"
" You will do what?" asked lie, with
tho most Insolent coolness, This ques
tion was nilaggcr tomysoul, for I knew
that any punishment I Inlllcted on lilm
must lie Inflicted upon myself, I sfood
mute for n few seconds, still holding lilm
strongly lu my grasp. At last throwing
pity aside, by one vast ell'ort, I cried
out, " 1 declare solemnly, WoM'ing,
that if you tlonot glvomolmekmy body
I (.hall kill you on the spot,"
" Kill moon the spot I" replied he.
" Do you mean to say that you will kill
your own body?"
" I do suy so," was my answer: "1
will rather destroy my tlear body, than
It should bo disgraced hy a scoundrel
llkoyou."
"You aro Jesting." said Wolstang,
endeavouring to extricato himself.
" I shall show you thucountrary," re
joined I, giving lilm u violent blow on
the nose and another ou the ribs. These
strokes almost druw tears from my eyes:
and when I saw my precious blood How-1 In u third at my own house. What he
lug, I certainly would havowoptaloud, ' had stated wasbtibstautlally true. Somo
but for tho terrible onersy which rtiEoontio mourners had nrrlved, and tho

"ThntN linpoisllile," miIiI he, "mill
eminot he, done without thu iifrpnuy of
another person, who ii tib-ont ; but I
hereby solemnly mvcur, tlmt live days ,
nfler my death your body shall bo your i
own."
"If better teriiHeannot behad, 1 must
tako oven thee, hut better I ahull havej
(o preparo to part with what li not your
own. Take yourself hack again, or I
will beat you to it mummy." So saying, j
I laid on him mot unmercifully llat
toned his noso (or rather my own,)
and laid lilm sprawling on the earth
without lereinony. While engaged In
this business, I heard n sneeze, and
looking to the quarter from whence It
proceeded, who did 1 see emerging from
tho wood but my old acquaintance,
with tho snulf-coloured surtout, tho
scarlet waistcoat, mid wooden leg. He
saluted me ns usual with n. smile, and
was beginning to regret the length of
time which had elapsed since he last
had the pleasure of seeing me, when 1
interrupted him. "Come," said I, "this
Is not a time for ridiculous grimace;
you know all about It, so help me to
get mv body back from this scoundrel
here."
" Certainly, my dear fi lend. Heaven
forbid that you should be robbed of so
unalienable a property. Wolstang, you
must give it up. "Pis tho height of In
Jtitlce to depi'ivo him of it."
" Shall I surrender It, then?" said
Wolstang with a pitiable voice.
"lly all means: let Mr. Stadt havo
his body.
In an Instant I felt great pains shoot
through me, and I lay on the ground,
breathless and exhausted as If from
some dreadful punishment. I also saw
the little gentleman, and the tall, stout
llguro of Wolstang, walkaway arm and
arm, und enter tho wood. I was now
myself again, but had at first lilt localise
of congratulation on the change, for I
was one heap of bruises, while the un-
prlnclpledautliorof my calamnities was
movlngofl' In his own body without a
single scratch. If my frame was in bad
case, however, my mind felt relieved
beyond conception. A load was tauen
from it, ami it felt tho consciousness of
being incused in that earthly tenement
destined by heaven for its habitation.
Alas, liow transient is human happl-
no-si 1 Scarcely hud an hourelupscd when
u shuddercumo over me, precisely simi
lar to that which had occured some
weeks before on entering tho College of
(ioltlngen. I also precei veil that I was
stronger, talletyind more vigorous, and,
as if by magic, totally freo of pain. At
this change, a horrid sentiment eamo
across ine, and, on looking at my shadow
lu a well, I observed that l was no longer
myself, but WoKtaug: tho diabolical
miscreant had again eflected a ine
tempsyehosis. Full of distracting Ideas,
I wandered about the fields till night
fall, when I returned into the oily, ami
threw myself into bed, ooynouri J
with fatigue nud grief.
Next day I made a point of railing at
my own house, and inquiring for my
self. The servant said that i could not
be seen, being conllned to bed In con
sequence of several bruises received In
an encounter with two highwaymen. I
called next day, mid was still confined.
On tho third day I did the same, but 1
had gone out with a friend. On the
fourth 1 learnt that 1 was dead.
It will readily be believed that this
last intelligence was far from being un
welcome. On hearing of my own death
I felt tho most lively pleasure, antici
pating tho period when 1 would bo my
self again. That period, according lo
Wol.-tang's solemn vow, would arrive
iu five days. Three of these 1 had spent
lu the house, carefully secluding myself
from observation, when I heard asnoczo
at tho outside of thu boor. It opened,
and In stepped the lltle man with the
smifl'-coloured surtout, the scarlet waist
coat, and the wooden leg. I had con
ceived a dislike approaching to horror
at this old rascal, whom I naturally con-cluded-to
be at the bottom of the-o dia
bolical transformations; 1 however,
contained my wrath till I should hour
what he hail to say.
" 1 wish you niiich Jiiy.niyilearfi lcnd,
that you are going to resume your own
body. There is, however, one circum
stance, which perhaps you have over
looked. Are you aware that you are to
be buried to-day?"
" 1 never thought of it," answered 1
windy, "nor Is It of any consequence,
I presume. In two days 1 shall bo my
self again,' 1 shall then leave this body
behind me, anil tako possesion of my
own."
"And where will your own body bo
then?"
" In thograve,"sa!d I with ashudder,
as the thought eamo across uie.
" Precisely so, and you will enjoy tlio
pleasure of being hurled alive: that, 1
suppose, you have not calculated upon."
This remark struck me with blank
dismay, and 1 fell back on my chair,
uttering a deep groan. "Is there then
no hope ? cannot this dreadful doom bo
averted? must I bo buried nllvo?"
"Tho case Is rather a hard one, Mr.
Stadt, but, peihap-, not without a reme
dy." "Yes, there Is a remedy," cried 1,
starling up and striking my forehead.
" 1 shall hie to my own house, mid
entreat them to suspend the funeral for
two days."
" I saw the undertaker's men enter
tho hou-iyis I pu-sod by.for the purpo-e,
I should think, of screwing down tho

" l'oor fellow, he bin loit his senses,"
said one.
" Ah, poor Wolstnng," obierved an
other: "lie ran deranged some weeks
ago, mid has been going about asking
for hlni-elf over since."
" I assure you I am not dead," said I,
throwing myself upon my knees before
my cousin, who was present.
"I know that, my good fellow," wns
Ids answer, " but poor Stadt, you see,
Is gone for ever."
"That Is not Stadt-it Is I-it Is I.
Will you not bellevo mo I 1 mn Stadt
this Is not me 1 am not myself, Kor
heaven's sake, suspend this funeral."
Such were my exclamations, lint they
produced no other eirect but that of pity
among the by-stauders.
"Poorunfortunatufellow, he Iscrazed.
Oct a porter and let lilm be taken

Tills order, which was given by my
cousin him-olf, stung mo to madness,
and, changing my piteous tones for
those of fierce re-Istanee, I sworu that
"I would not turn out for any man liv
ing. 1 would not bu burled alive to
pleusothcm." To this nobody made nny
reply, but In the course of a minute
fourstout porters made their apiicnrance,
and 1 was forced from tho liou-e.
Returning to Wolstung's lodging, tlio
old man was thero In waiting,, as he
promised. "What," said I witli trepi
dation, "what is thu scheme you were
to propose? Tell me, nnd avert tho hor
rible doom which will await me, for
they have refu-ed to tupcnd the fu

most soothing manner, "your caso U

tho coiilin-lid is put on. Only think of
thu dlll'erenco of tho two situations."
"A confounded difference Indeed,"
thought I, taking hold of the pen. Hut
at tho very moment when I wns going
lo write, I observed above thu follow
lug words;
" I hero by engage, after my natural
decease, to give over my soul to thu
owner of this book,"
" What I" said I, "this is theold com
pact ; tlio one you wished me to sign
before?"
" The same, my dear friend."
"Then I will not sign it."
"Only think of the consequences,"
said he.
" I will nbido tlio consequences rather
than sell my soul
'Hurled alive, my dear Mr only
think."
' I wiii not si'll the compact."
"Only think of being hurried alive,"
continued he "stilled to death pent

Only think what your feelings will be
when you coma to llfo In that narrow
iharnel-hoii.se. and know your sltua
tlon."
I iravoasliuilderatthUlilcture, which
was iliawn with horrible truth ; but the
energies, of religion, and the hope-, of
futurity, rushed upon my -mil, nndsus
tallied it iu tlio dreadful trial. "Away
away," said I, pushing him back
have made up' my mind to the sacrifice
since better my not be. Whatever hup
pens lo my body, I am resolved not to
risk my eternal soul for Us sake."
" Think again," said he, " make up
your mind. If I leave you, your fate
l.s Irrevocable, Aro you decided?"
"1 am."
" Only reflect once more conside
how, by putting your name lu this boo!
you w ill saveyour-elf from lunkcrablo
death. A re you decided?"
" I am," replied I, firmly
"Then, fool," said he, while a frown
perfectly unnatural to him corrugated
his brow, and his eyes shot forth vivid
glances of fire "then, fool, I leavo you
to your fate, ou shall novel- seo mo
again." So saying, lie walked out of tl
room, dispensing with his usual bow
and grimaces, and dashing tho door
fiercely nfler him, while I threw myself
upon a couch lu an agony of de-pair.
My doom was now sealed beyond all
hope; for, going to the windows a few
minutes thereafter, I Uelield my own
funeral, with my cousin at thu head of
tho procos-ion, acting as chief mourner
In a short time, I saw the company
turning from tho Interment. "AH i

at this deplorablo sight. I am the vic
