The Old Man Dreams
DT OLIVIR WC DXLL DOLDIS.,
O for one hour of youthful joy!
Give back my twentieth spring!
I'd rather laugh n bright-haired boy
Than reign a gray-beard king!
Off with the cvnukled !pails of aget
Away with learning's crown!
Tear out life's wisdom-written page,
And dash its trophies down!
One moment let my life-blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame!
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
Of lifc all love and fame!
—My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling, said,
"If I but touch thy silvered hair,
Thy hasty wish bath sped.
93ut is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
NVhile the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished-for day?"
—AI, truest soul of womauklnd!
Without thee, what were life
One bliss I cannot leave behind:
1-11 take—my—precious--wifel
—The angel took a sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew,
"The man would be a boy again,
And be a husband too:"
—"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, all their gifts have fled
AVith those dissolving years!"
Why, yes, for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys;
I could not bear to leave them all:
take—my—girl—and—buy al
The smiling angel dropped his pen,—
.Why this will never do;
The man would be a boy again ;
And be a father tool"
And so I laughed,—my laughter woke
The household with its noise,—
And wrote my dream when morning broke,
To please the gray-haired boys.

For breath like balm of lilies,
For smiles like sunrise clear,

And love her all the yenr.
I love my love in summer.
For promise warm and true,
For truth like noonday throwing
A light on oid nod new;
For wealth of bloom and freshness,
And shady comfort near,
I love my love in summer,
And love her all the year.
I love my love in autumn.
For fruit of gentle deeds,
For wisdom to be garnered
To serve our future needs;
For virtues ripening ever,
Like harvests full in cur,
I love my love in autumn.
And love her all the year.
I love my love in winter,
For charities untold,
For warmth of lmu•chold welcome
For looks that thaw the cold;
For harmless mirth and pastime,
And rich no clenstmas cheer;
I love my love to wittier,
And love her all the year.

The Story of Death.
Reader, have you ever been dead? I have
been. I will tell you tho story of Death.—
Dr. Benaiab W. Somes, of Essex county,
New Jersey, was my physician. I shall not
curse him now. Time has tnught me that
it is better to bless than to curse. And I
feel, bitter as my malison might be, that a
more miserable condition were not possible
to him than the consciousness of his mur
derous wantonness must bring upon himself,
hardened, as I fear his nature is. But let
that pass.
I wil tell you the story of my death.
I died at the age of twenty-three. A stal
wart man, who on my father's farm mowed
my swath or hoed my row with the best, in
an unfortunate hour I became the victim of
the new practice of medicine, which then
prevailed, but which now, happily, is nearly
disused. I had some sort of fever. No
doubt I was ill enough. From my right arm
one day the physician took ounces of blood
—how many I know not; certainly, in liquid
measures, a gallon of the red fluid flowed.—
I did not mend that day; at least, I suppose
I did not for on the next day he cut my left
arm and took thence a like measure—the
crimson measure of half a life. I was a
dead man then. But a shudder or two
always must come before the conscious soul
lets go its hold upon the frame. With me
the shudders were in the shape of cold
sweats. There were three of them. By the
clock—so some one at my bedside whispered,
—the chill and sweat lasted six hours. Six
10,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,00 IF NOT IN ADVANCE
dim, dark centuries they were to me. The
third—its commencement, its fierce chill,
its dead cold, compared with which ice were
a pleasing warmth—its dread, skin- march,
I remember, but nothing more. In the
midst of it, I lost all sense of life and its
pains. The great gates of the valley of
death rolled on their ponderous hinges and
shut me in.
I do not recollect the circumstances of
funeral and interment. In fact, I do not
deem that I was buried. The weight I felt
above me I knew was no mere ten feet of
earth, in a quiet nook, with daisies springing
from it. The mountains were resting on me.
I realized their weight. Straight up to the
light—if light existed—as under the centte
of the central mountains I lay, it was mai.y
miles through solid rock. I was not imbed
ded in the rock, like a cold toad, caught in
during the formative era of the geologists
It lay upon me. I felt all its weight.—
Sense had gone, but consciousness was with
me. Forty millions of millions of tots
weight was upon me. Oh, how I suffocated
and smothered! But, dead as I was, con- I
seiousness cruelly clung to me. I had died
—why could I not cease to be! Time had
passed away; there was no day, no night.
But if mortal measure could indicate the
period I lay alone, and dark, and suffocate, I
beneath that weight, centuries might have
flown above my head.
The silence was as dread as the suffoca
tion was terrible. There was no sound.—
All was still, still, dark and hopeless. had
the mountain r ared as it crushed, it would
have been an alleviation. But it did its
work without sound, without remorse, like
Fate, grim and silent.
I have said there was no measure of time
to tell how long this measureless weight
pressed me down! There came a relief.—
A sense of hearing came to me, or, the in
ternal fires of earth bad rolled nearer to me.
I heard their voice, distant as yet, like the
wind in the leaves of ten thousand fore,ts—
like the surge of a thousand unseen oceans.
I felt its heat. But it was far away. A
now sense of suffocation came upon me.—
This suffocating force now surrounded me,
came within me, and pressed me out. The
suffocation within was like some vast ex
panding force, but it did not lift the weight
of the mountain that was upon me. That
still held its awful pressure. But I heard
the Titans breathing as they fed the fires.
This stale lasted—who shall say how long?
Then came—was it true?—could I believe
it?—a dim sense of sight. I saw, dimly and
afar, the forms of those giants who fed the
central fires of the planet. They moved si
lent and grim, watching their work; and
when a rill of molten rock glided apart from
the mass, they staid it with their ponderous
feet, and - scooped it back to its place with
vast hands.
The the mountain began to lift and swell.
It seemed slowly to rise—the hundredth
part of an
P inch. Then, part of the way
back it sank. It might have been a year in
rising that little space. But at times I could
feel that it was rising. Into the chinks that
it made as it rose, pressed, hot and fierce,
vapors of sulphur from the fires. These en
veloped me more closely than even the
mountains weight. I prayed that the moun
tain would again shut down and press them
out. Its blank, dead suffocation, with all
its eternal weight, was better.
But the vapors thinned as the mountain
slightly, almost imperceptibly, lifted. Great
God! I felt the touch of a human finger—
a live finger. It lay beneath my arm, in the
arm pit. I felt it plainly—the artery throb
bed against it. Was there life?—was it life?
No, no. The touch died away. I had no
arteries, no human sensation. It was a
dream of the sleep of death. I awoke from
it—awoke to eternal death, the mountain's
weight, and not fiery vapors. Unyielding,
they pressed me still within and without.
Again—was it again a dread dream?—l
had a sense of light, veiled and clouded
light, as through a sleeper's unopened lids.
The light, dim as it was, was steady and
continued. I watched it long—long! Ages
was the only measure, if measure beyond
the grave there could be. But so dim it
was that hope grew sick, and died, and rot
ted within me; and I fell back into the old,
desolate suffocation—the eternal, unvarying
pressure of the mountain's weight. More
ages went by.
Then all at once was light, and a voice,
and a human hand. Light, sound, touch,
flashed at once upon me. How they mingled
and throbbed with the dead suffocation! It
was too much. Now, on the eve of relief, I
had my former prayer answered. Sensation
passed away. I was not. Annihilation
had come.
From annihilation—or from an utter
blank of consciousness—l awoke, with pain
and fatigue, and still the sense of weight
unutterable, to find that there was indeed
light, and touch, and hearing. The touch—
it was a live hand—a human hand. God,
the merciful and kind! it was my own
father's hand! It was his finger beneath
my arm pit. Now I felt it meet the artery;
I myself felt, in sympathy with him, the
throb. I had come back to life. Death
was over.
Though it was no dream, this awakening
—though I knew it to be real, yet for hours
I held but a state of semi-censciousness.—
But I knew thatdoath was over; I knew 'lived.
I recognized the various members of my
family in my room. I heard my father's
voice, subdued but joyful. proclaiming his
unwavering faith daring all, that I was alive.
[WHOLE NUMBER, 1,433.
Then the doctor came. lie entered the
room where I My.
'The boy is alive, Doctor!' exclaimed my
EOM
'Nonsense,' was the heartless knave's re
ply—this devil of a doctor. At times I feel
nut hate him, this doctor who had college
warrant on parchment to murder and bury
beneath mountains.
'He does live, Doctor,' persisted my father
'Feel beneath his arm.'
The Doctor put his hand, his faithless,
cold, skilless hand, beneath my arm.
The little life there was in me recoiled
from the contact, fled back to its sources and
gave no response to his murderous touch.
'There is no beat there," said he, con
temptuously, turning to my father, 'lt was
all your fancy.'
My father put his hand beneath my arm
again. Trembling, faith-shaken, wavering
—his touch told all that as he pressed the
artery long and no throb responded. The
little rill of life was too faint and weak to
flow.
Long he held his finger there, and through
it I could feel his hope die away. lie with
drew it at last, and he gazed on the face of
his dead son. Ito looked long. Ho was a
kind, good father. I know where the grass
grows above his grave. Ito gazed long;
and turned away as one who bade fare
well.
An hour passed. ire came Lack resolute,
hope dauntless in his eye, as if some in
spired frenzy made him hope against hopo,
and bear his faith into the presence of des•
pair.
He touched again the artery beneath my
arm; he felt the throb.. It was fuller and
faster, as hope seized and animated me and
him together. The pulse was clear—small.
weak, as it might be, it was still marked
and clear. He felt it and knew it was no
fancy.
He brought wine, and put a teaspoon
filled with it to my lips. The palate and
nostrils felt the sensation. They slightly
moved. The shadow of a c)lor came in my
face. lie knew I lived.
My recovery was slow. For three days
my sustenance was half a teaspoonful of
wine passed to my lips every two hours.—
After that they g,avo men whole spoonful at
the same intervals. I gained strength
slowly. At length I was able to get up.
But I was crippled forever. From the
hour when life came back to me to this hour
I have not been able to lift my right arm
from my side. Below the elbow the limb is
powerless. My left hand I cannot raise
above my head. I was bled in either arm.
Sometimes, without thought, I make an
effort to raise one arm or the other beyond
the line which the paralysis of either has
fixed. Then, on a sudden, all grows dark
before me; my head swims, and, for an
instant, I feel the awful mountain's weight
upon me. The spasm passes away, and I
live again.
I commenced no action for damages
against the doctor. Aside from the fact
that he did not then possess means to res
pond to the possible verdict, my friends.
with the prejudices of the time, would have
dissuaded me from Boeing him at the law.
Courts and the faculty, in those days, be
lieved in blood, and the latter took it when
they would.
Do not deem, reader, that forgoing is any
tale of the imagination. It is a story of the
baldest fact. I live in New Jersey, between
Plainfield and Westfield, in Union, (former
ly Esses,) county. My name I am free to
impart—it is John 11. Miller. Thirtyfour
years have passed, but the memory of every
hue and circumstance of those dread ages of
death is distinct and vivid still. For often,
even now, a thoughtless movement of either
crippled limb brings their terrors boldly
back, and once again—thank God, it is but
for a moment—l lie suffocated beneath the
mountain's remorseless breast.
