The mother was once more consigned to the tomb, but the child bom lived to be a man ; and, carry ing till his death the name of -Fi uit of the Karth," occupied for several jeais the post of lieutenant-general on the front ieis of C'heiez. This stoty is reproduced by the late Professor Co mi in bis ticati.se on Ap neology. A poor woman at. Caslel del Chu'ice, in the province of Molse, was taken ill with tl e premonitory symptoms of childbirth, and having fainted away bile the doctor was being sent for, was. on his arrival, de clared dead. Burial follows death very rapidly in southern countiies, especially in Italy. It is the night of the tomb sell mg in wit bout the twilight of the death chamber; and eijiht and foi ly bouts in the north of Italy, and four and-twenty in the south, is the time allowed by law. This was the case with the poor woman of Molise. Her friends had doubts as to one, at least, of the deaths that of the unborn babe but the doctor was inexora ble, lie refused to operale on the '"corpse" to save the infant life, and the Syndic, ap proving of bis conduct, ordered the body to be buried. The funeral took place exactly at the twenty-foiu th hour that is to say, that the body, being a poor one, was throw n into the ground like a dog. lbg-like, too, it had no rights, for a few days afterwards it was unearthed to make room for another corpse that of a girl which was to be thrown in over it. IJttt the becchini (the grave-diggers) perceived while doing their wink that the woman buried the week be fore "had moved in the grave." Her hands were up to her mouth her eyes were wide open and staling fright fu'.ty she bad been trying to bite the bamls by which ber wrists were fastened. Ib.it the bands of her k'gs weie rent asunder, and there, in the dust Iteside ber, was a dead child ! The following is authenticated by Beu bier, and is quoted, in slightly different words, by Dr. Caiidolii : A schoolmaster in Mohlstadt, named VVe-.izel, was. legally pionounced as dead, and got leady for bur ial. He was to b bmied on u certain fixed day, but his sister, who lived far off, had not ai lived, and it was decided that the funeral should be postponed. The "de ceased," in bis winding sheet unable to move and apparently unaple to breathe, beard with joy of this delay, and tried, but utteily in vain, to open bis eyes, which were fast closed. His s-ister arrived, and finding him de;d, burst into a paroxysm of tears, and, Re i zed his hand, reproved him passionately for thus dying without one woid of farewell. She took his head be tween her bands and pressing it wildly, looked at him with a lixed and half-demented scrutiny. The eyelids of the "de ceased" were seen to quiver; the eyes half opened ; be was saved I lie had succeeded in putting his latent self in communication w ith t be imter world ; and what be himself had begun the doctots completed. Here was a nan win, but for bis sister's delay, would have !eeu bnied alive ! Ihohiei's story is, in fact, the confession of Wcnzel. It is the story of a, patient desctibing bis horror on dueling himself a dea'd man ; and without much confusion of terms, it might be called the "Confessions of a Corpse." Dr. Gandolti asserts that many such vases have been recoided in various parts of Eu rope, and tbat in most instances the cases have been proven ami am iieni ic.neo.

For it is important to bear this point in mind it is one thing to certify that a "corpse" is not really dead ; it is another thing to re vive that corpse after the inner life latent, and slow toasseit itself lias been properly lecognized. 2so; what is wanted is a sim ple Test and not a complicated test, or a complicated set iesof tests, which would be out of the reach of the poor and beyond the power of inexpei ienced or badly-paid doc tors.

'I'll e tji.ii Man. CKKGOISS CAVF. About fifty years ago, a great portion of the South and West was but a wilderness. Even in those States that wete nunc or less populated, there were sections of the countiy where there could n:l be seen any signs of habitation. Away down in Miss issippi there was a scope of countiy, about one Lunditd miles acioss, consisting of a swampy, w ild and desolate countiy, then known as the Tuckapaw country, in which there was no settlement, and acioss which was a regular load of tiavcl. Now, in these old times, there was a great amount of ttadic and tiade between New Oilcans and the lower Mississippi, and all the up per country mule tradeis from Kentucky and Illinois would drive mules and burses and tettirn by land. Flatboats by '.he hundred, from the up per countiy, from Ohio to the Ibcky Mountains, could be seen descending the Mississij.pi, laden with the most valuable ptoduce the coutrty could all'md. The merry boat man made the forest lesound with his song and revehy. When they landed at New Oilcans, and ilisp ised of their valuable cargo, they would buy a (dug, or a mule, or a 'tuustav.g, on which they would lake their homeward course, sometimes in squads of two to six. About halfway across the wilderness road, a man by the name of Cregol had located, and built a house for the puipose of a stopping place foi traveleis. I bis place was known to every Southern trader, aud with Clegol they had to slop, and were glad to share his hospitably. In the cotuseof time this country be came settled. Old (iegl h id become im mensely rich ; he was gi owing old, but he was bale and stout. Not far fioui the house was a cave in the hillside, which hart never been explored. In fact, no one hail ever entered lis mouth, as far as was known. Now this cave became an item of inter est. The dogs for miles aiound would col lect at it s ent rmce and cieate the most hideous sound by their nueatlhiy howling. Night and day would he pool cieatiues Keep up this moniiiful song. lively man, woman ami child for inib-s around would come to see t h 'R sad, sad sight . lbtl it .n noticed that old Cregol did not go lo fee the thing. And a by did not Cregol go? His neigh -bins insisted that he should go. No sooner did he come in sight than the dogs, a one accord, which had hitherto been pel feet ly submissive, molesting no one, and any i .me con 111 to among them, and they would I only howl with teeth grinning nnd biistl.s ! up, rushed at him as if they would tear I . . i him to shiens. anil wouai not u-i nun come near. At length it was resolved toexplole the cave, ai d upon a set day the ncighbois met for that purpose. With torches in hand, they groped their way a short dis t nice on theii bauds and knees nn:il they entered what appeared tube a large chain ber. They rose t.t their feet, and. with torches bfied high, bcyan I ) peer tluuugh the darkness. The first obj-et they saw was a long blue coat hanging ag linst the wall of the cave. 1 his coat was of the old Fiet.ch style, made of bine cloth, with biass but ous. Upon passing fui I her on, scores and scores id skeletons weie seen, scattered in every direction. Human slteh t..es, with clothing f evny d sci ii t ion banging to hem, which the wolves had toi n to pieces. Among the party of rxpbueis wasa young doctor who lived Hi the ni'it li bin lux -.1. s ci m tti as the paity emeiged fumi the cave, the dog" appaienlly sal i.-tied. ceased their howling aud disposed. 'I bat night i negtocame for t he young d 'Ctor. The d igs" bad co letted at old CiU'oPs and nm-tvneed their bowls. Ciego' wa seized uitb sp so s, and the i cro lUsbe-d for the doctor. The next morn'mg, while the doctor was sitting by Cu gol's t ed. who was in a deep stupor, the dooi suddenly flew- pen, anil : tall man, w ith d.i'k C -tuple x tor, cni nj the identical coat which the doctor Lad Men in the cave the day befoie, entered and passed noiselessly through the room. ltor Cregol, when the man entered, rose up quickU in bed and eazedwiib a wild and maniacal stare at him until he passed nit f si-'bt, and then Ii II back d -art. lie bad mo'deied these men lor tlit-ir money and that is how begot bis wealth. Many mothers are either obliged to stay awav from church and theaHe, or take their hibies with them. A poor woman took her little one in b-r ai ms to bear a famous pienchnr. The 1-nd voice fiom the plat form awoke thechi'd and made it r-y. and its mother got up and was leaving th hall, when the minister stopjM-u her by saying : Mv good woman, dou r go away. 'I Le baby d.tesn't distnib me." "It isn't for ibat, sir, I leave," she replied, with a per fect unconsciousness of biim ; 'It's y-'ti diittuib the baby." NUMBEK VI. Tin: xix th ivoxvei:.
