tiat tho dreadful MriiKxIu "'as ahoul lo

.covered the genial kIow ofllfo appall

: id gather mo together from thu J.tw.s of
tjo tomb."
Jtcanwhilc, I felt tho necessity of
eatliinn, and I did hreathu fully and
lie air was neither soclosunor scanty
iilml(,'lit bavu lieen supposed. "Tills,
hjwevur," thounht I, " Is hut the tlrst

si ml upon mo untiring l'1" kliu'i

with tho most perfect freedom. This
i-uiick mo as very singular; and being
nfttirally of an Inipil-ltlvo disposition,
1 tilt an Iricsistlblo wlsli, oven In my
sljiiatlou, to invesllgato If iosslhlo tho

TI 0 thought no sooner camo across my

I ot up, raising myself by blow degrees,
Injcnso ofliiiockingiuy !icuiln;riilnsttlio

extension, and I stood straight. I even
raised my hands on high, to feel If It
wero possible to reach tho top no such
thing; tlio collln was apparently with
out bound-.. Altogether, I felt inoro
comfortable than it burled man eoulil
expect to bo. Ouu thing .struck iiie,nnd
it was tills
I liadnograve-clothesiipon me. "Hut,"
thought I, "tills Is accounted for: my
cousin come.s to my property, nnd tho
scoundrel has adopted thu most econom
ical means of getting rid of me." I
had not as yet opened my eyes, being
daunted nt tlio Itlea of encountering thu
dreary darkness of tlio grave, lint my
eotirago being fconiewhnt augmented
by tho foregoing events, I endeavored
to open them. This was Impossible;
anil, on examination, I found that they
wore bandaged, my head being encircled
with a llllet. On endeavoring to loosen
It, I lost inybalaiico,nnd tumbled down
with a hideous' iioIm;. 1 did not merely
fall upon the bottom of tho collln, as
might bu expected; on tho contrary, I
seemed to roll off It, and fell lower, as It
were, into home vault underneath. In
endeavoring to nrrest this strnngo de
scent, I caught hold of the collln, and
pulled It on thu top of inc. Nor was
this nil; for, before I could account for
such a train of extraordinary accidents
below ground, nnd while yet stupefied
and bewildered, I heard a door open,
and, In an instant after, human voices.
"What In Heaven's name, can ho the
meaning of this'.'" ejaculated I Involun
tarily. "Is it a dream'.' am 1 asleep or
am J awako'.' Am I tlead or alive?''
While meditating thus, and struggling
to extricate myself from tlio collln, I
heard some onu say distinctly, "(iootl
(iod, lie is como alivul" My brain was
distracted hy ti whirlwind of vnin con
jectures; but lieforu it could nrrangoone
idea, I fell myself seized upon by both
ar;n,aud ral-ud up with Irresihtiblo force.
At Iho sumo lu-tant, tho llllet was druwn
from my eyes. I opened them withauitine
inent In-lead of tho gloom or deatli,
thu glorious lighter heaven burnt upon
them! I was confounded ; and, toaddto
my surpri-e, I saw supporting mo two
men, with whoso faces I was familiar. 1
gazed at tho one, then at the other,with
looks of tlxetl astonishment. "What is
this'."' said I; "where am IV"
"You must remain tpiict," taid Iho
eldest, with a pmile. "Wo inttst have
you putlo bed, and afterwards dre-scd."
"What is this'."' continued 1; "ami
not tlead was I not burled'.'"
"Hush, my dear friend let inu throw
Ibis great co.tt over you."
"lint I inustspcak," saitl I,myspiises
stil wandering" Where am 1 V who

" Do you not know me'."'
" Ye-," replied 1, gazing nt lilm In-tently--"My
friend Doctor Wuntlerduilt.
(iootl (lod, how tlo you happen to be
hero'.' Did I not como allvo lu the
grave'.'"
" Von must thank us that you did
not," said lie "Look around, anil. -ay if
you know where you are,"
1 looked, as he directed, nnd found
myself lu a large room fitted up with
benches, anil having half-a-dozen skele
tons dangling from the roof. While
doing this, be ami his friend smiled at
each other, tindseemetlauxliai-ly await
ing my reply, and enjoying my wonder.
At List I satisfied myself that I was lu
theanatomieal theatre of the University.
" I!ut," sahl r, "there is somcHiIng lu
all this 1 cannot comprehend. What
where is tlio collln V"
" What ioi)ln, my dear fellow Y" said
Wiintlerilutlt.
" The collln that 1 was in."
"The collln," saitl he.smlllng, "I sup
pose It remains wheru it was put thotlay
before yesterday."
I rubbed my eyes with vexation, not
knowing what to make of those per
plexing circumstances, "I mean," said
I, "the collln-lhat Is the collln 1 drew
over upon t e when 1 fell."
" I tlonot know ofanyeofiln," answer
ed he, laughing heartily! "hut I know
very well you have pulled upon your
self my good iniihugany table; there it
lies," And, on luoklng, 1 observed the
large table which .stood lu Ihemitlilleof
tho ball, overturned upon the Hour. Dr.
Wuntlerduilt (lie was professor of ana
tomy to the college' now iiuiile mo vu
tire, and had ine put In bcdtill clothing
could bo procured. Hut I would not
allow him to depart till hohiid unravel
eilthestrangewehorperplexlty luw hleh
1 still round myself involved. Nothing
would satisfy me hut a philosophical
isolation of tho problem, "Why was I
not hurled alive, a- I had reason to ex
pect'."' Thetloctor expounded this In
tricato point luliie following manner:
"Tho day heforo yesterday," -aid he,
"I Informed the resurrectionists in the
bervice of tho University, that 1 was ill
want of a subject, desiring them at the
fame time to -et to work with all speed.
That very night tliey returned, a-surlng
mo that they had fished up onu which
would aii'twer to n hair, being both
youngand vigorous, lu order to Inform
myself of the tpiallty of what they
broiightine, I examined the hotly, when,
to my indignation and grief, 1 found
that they had disinterred my oNccllont
friend, Mr. Frederick Stadt, who hud
been buried the same day."
" What !" said 1, starting up from tho
hod, "did they disinter me',' tho scoun
drels." " You may well call thoin scoundrel."
said tho professor, "for preventing n
gentleman from enjoying thu pleasure
of being buried alive. Tho deed was
certainly most felonious; and, If you
lire ut all anxious, I shall havu them
reported lo tho Syndic, and tried for
their Impertinent interference. Hut to
proceed. No sooner did I observe that
they had fallen upon you, than I said,
"My good men, this will never do. You
have brought niohere my worthy friend,
Mr. Stadt. I cannot feel lu my heart
to unntomlru him, so Just carry him
I quietly back to his old quarters, mid I
j shall pay you his price, and something
j over and ahove,"
" What 1" said I, ngalu Interruplliii.
the doctor, "Is It possible you could be
so Inhuman as to mnko the s 'ouu'Irel
bury mo iigitln'.'"
" Now, Ktarit," rejoined he, with h
smile, "you area strnngo fellow. You
were angry at tlm mm for raising you,
and now you nre angry nt me for endea
vouring to ropnlr their error hy re-ln-terrlng
you,"
"I Jut you forget that 1 was to como
alive'."
'How the douce was 1 to know that,
dear hoy'.'"
"Very true, (lo on, doctor, and ex
cuse mo for Interrupting you so often."
" Well," continued lie, "tho man
carried you last night to deposit you lu
your long home, when, ns fato would
havu It, they were piovcntod by a ridi
culous follow or a tailor, who, ror n
trilling wager, had engaged to sit up
alone, during tho whole night, in thu
church-yard, exactly at tho spot whero
your gravo lay. So they brought you
back to tho college, resolving to Inter
you to-night, if tho tailor, or tlio duvll
himself, should stand in their way.
Your timely resuscitation will save them
thistrouhle. At tho same time, if you
are still offended at them, they will bo
very happy to tako you back, and you
may yet enjoy tho felicity of being
hurled ullvc."
Such was a slmplo statement of tho
fact, delivered in the professor's good
humoured and satirical style; and
from It tho reader may guess what a
narrow escape I had from tho most
tlreatirul of deaths, and how much am I
Indebted, In the first Instance, to the
stupid blunderlngof the resurrectionists,
and, In tho second, to tho tailor. I re
turned to my own hotiso ns soon ns
possible, to the no small mortification
or my cousin, who was proceeding to
invest himself with all that belonged to
me. I made him refund without
ceremony, and nltered my will, which
hail been mailo in his favour; not for
getting in so doing his refusal to let my
body remain two days longer unhurled.
A tiny or two afterwards I saw a funeral
pass by, which, on Inquiry, I learned
to bo Wolstnng's. Ho died suddenly,
as I was Informed, and some persons re
marked it as a curious event that his
deatli happened at precisely the same
moment ius my return to life. This was
merely mentioned as a passing observa
tion, but no iufe'reiico was deduced from
it. Thu old domestic in Wolstnng's
houe gavu a wonderful account of his
death, mentioning thuhournt which bo
said hu was to tile, nnd how it was veri
fied by tho event. She suhl nothing,
however, about thu hundred gliders.
Mnny considered her story ns n piece of
nierotrumpery. Slio had nevertheless n
number of belluvcrs.
tin respect to inysei I, l excited a
great talk, receiving invitations to dine
Willi alnitxt all tho respeclahlu families
in Oottlngen. I had the bonourof being
waited on by Doctor Deillmus Dunder-
lieatl, who, after shaking mo hy tho
hand in tho kindest manner ulu mo
give a long account or my reelings at
the instant or coining alive, or cour.se,
I concealed every thing connected with
tho.Mcteinpsycltosis.nnd kept out inanv
elrcuuistances.whichat thetlmu I did not
wish to ho known. Hu was nevertheless
highly dclighted.nndgavoltas hisnplu
ion l which, being oracular, was in.-tant-
ly acted upon,) that a tlecrlption or tho
whole should bo in-ortedln the annals of
the University. I had thofartlierhonour
orbelng Invited to dinner at his house
an honour which 1 duly appreciated,
knowing Hint it Is nlino-t nuvorconferrod
except on the syndics, burgomasters,
nml deacons or thu town, anil a row or
the profe-sors.
The.-u events which aro hero related
at full, I can only atte.-t hy my own
word.exeept indeed t ho affair of tlio com
ing alive, which every body In (iottin
gen know. of. If any doubt tho inoro
unlikely piirloorthetletall, I cannot help
it. I have not written this with tho
view of empty fame, and still less of
profit. 1'hlltMjphy has taught inu to
despise tho former, and my income
rentiers tho latter an object of no im
portance. I merely doit to put my fellow-citizens
on their guard against tho
inachlntions of thu old fellow with tho
MMill'-culoured stirtout, thu scarlet waist
coat, unil the wooden leg. Abovoall,
they should carefully abstain from sign
ing any paper ho may present to them,
however plau-lhlo his offers may be.
Ily mere thouglitlc-snesnin tills respect,
I brought myself into a niultltuilo of
dangers anil difficulties, from which
every one lu tho saiueprorilcamont may
not escape so easily as I havo done,

two hours, and nary ono on 'em spoke.
Chapter III. A voico fractured the
solemn stillness of thu air. 'Twas Ku

Harriet, If I had but a mince-pie to

Then she lifted her tear-dliumed eyes
to thu starry heavens, clasped her hands
wildly, and exclaimed, "Comu with mu

They clasped each other by tho hand,
and rushed to tho pantry.
Chapter IV. Two mlnco-pies had

It appears that Infanticide prevails to

The birds nro the ear-
Hct to sing, thu birds arc more without

In the evening. Singing Is tho last

Down their Inst flight and picked up
tliclr last morsel of lood nml demised
their hill on n napkin of n bough, then
on a topmost twig, they sing ono song
of praise. I know they sleep sweeter
ror it. They dream music; ror somo
times In tho night they break forth in
Hinging, and stop suddenly nftcr tho
first note, startled by their own voice.
Oh that wo might sing evening nnd
morning, and let song touch song nil

As I wns returning from tho country
the other evening, between six and

the entire day, nnd ho hud tho npiiear-

or work. Ho was walking with a lithe

down tlio street, though ho had been
working the whole day, and nearly tho
week. Wero It not that my good
thoughts always como too Into, I should
havo given him a large allotment or my

"Then tnku these Ilowers homo nnd

Funny Inciiiknt. On tho steamer
Indiana, on one of her trips down tho
Mississippi, there happened to bo on
board a lloosier from tho AVabash, who
was going to Now Orleans, and had
provided himself with an old fiddle,
fancying ho could fiddlo ns well as tho
next man, and planting himself whero
ho could attract notice, scraped away.

Hoosier and his fiddle, but It was no go,
ho sworo lie'd "mtislck Just as long as

sprung from ids scat saying, "I'll fix
him." Placing himself by the fiddler,
ho commenced braying witli all hU
might. The effect of this move was be
yond description. Old Kentucky brayed
so loud that ho drowned tho screacl.ing
of tlio fiddle, and amid the shouts of
thepassenger, tho discomfited Hoosier
retreated, leaving tho victory with tho
Keiituckhui, and his Imitation or Uala

man knew no hounds, and quiet was
restored. During tho night, tho Ken

Quakkii Wit Outwittkii. A Qua
ker having lost a quarter of mutton bv
a lawyer's dog, repaired to the ofilco of
tho latter and said :
"1 linvocomo to usk a piece of thy
advice. Suppose it dog carried off a leg
of mutton from me, whero do 1 look
for pay, to tho dog or his owner?"
" Oh," said tho man or the quill, "to
tho owner of tho dog ; bo Is responsible
fir any damage his dog does thee."
Said broadbrim : "Theo owes me seventy-live
cents."
"Ah!" suld the lawyer; then my
dog did tho mischief! Well, horo's
your money."
Thu face of tlio Quaker expanded
with usmlloat his shrewdness in fore
stalling tho opinion of a lawyer, and
was about making Ids exit from thu of
fice, when ho was brought to a halt by
tho lawyer saying: "I hay a small bill
against you my friend."
"All! for what?" said the Quaker.
" For advice In tho dog ease two dol
Iars," was tho reply.
This was a po-er, It being strictly
legal and tho lowest fco In tho calendar
for advice, there was no dodging, so tlio
money was forked ovor,and with mi el
ungated phiz tlio Quaker departed, mi
