"A TRUE STORY." ' Happening to be spending the winter of the year 1800 at Gibraltar, I, one day in the course of my wanderings, found myself in the cemetery set apart there for the burial i of strangers. Protestants, and the like, who we(e , membeI 0 ,be Komi.h comrnnn- ion. situated on very high ground, and there was not much iu the snrroonding, details and picfuresqneness of the grave, as sometimes is the case in foreign bbrial-places, to in terest a sight-seer, with one xception : -In the extreme eastern corner, aud on the , most elevated ground, stood a simple whi e I cross of marble with initials "M. L." on it, j and the date of the person's death; a - wreath of flowers encircled the stone, and he tfrave wa, evideuUy very carefully . . , . watched, presn..ng thereby a considerable contrast to those of the other strangers who had found their last retting place on that bleak rock. . So struck was I with the neatnes of this individual grave, that seeing an old man working hard by, I a&Ved him if there was any particular history attached to it, and if helcnew whoihs person was that was bn ried there. His answer did not give much information, beyond the fact of its beins; the grave of an English lady, who had died there some years before, and whose hus band paid him C'he old man) a 6mall sum yearly for keeping; that spot in order, ard supplying the cross constantly with flowers. This little incident had quite parsed out ' of my m5nJ a9 a ma,,er too trivial to be worth remembering, till I was reminded of it in ra'her a startling manner a short time azo. ' ' : : - . I was staying al a -country houe in York shire, the host and th? hostess beins DOin of them old and dear friends of mine, when late one evening the conversation happen ed to trrn upon a subject sufficiently exci ting to rouse the most sleepi'v inclined of Ihe gnests into wakefulness. It was debated j whether instances had ever really occurred of people having been buried alive, i. j whether any authentic cae could be Mated of a man who had fallen into a trance, and who had been in that condition buried, had afterwards come to life for a brief interval, and then had been suffocated in his coffin. : Opinions were pretty equally divided on j the subject; the one party affirming that it j was impossible, in the present stare ol med ical science, for anybody to meet with such -a horrible fate, and the other, though appa ' rently enable to ere any examples, declar- j ing that they were sure such a thing might ; happen, though they admitted at the same time that cases of that nature would be less j likely to occur in England, where a reason able time elapsed before the burial, than on the Continent, where the laws enforced the interment of. the body so soon after death, j In the midst of the discussion, the ;lady ot ; the house, who had seemed to take but lit- j tie interest in one way or the other, sud denly surprised us all by saying that if we would give ber our attention for a short time she would tell us a story on that very sub- ject, and relate what had truly occurred to a near, relative ot ber own many year be- fore. ' ' ...... "You say have often heard me mention," 1 she said, turning to me, "ray two cousins, Charles and Frank Livingston, though I doq'i much think yoa ever hid personal acquaintance with either of tbem. ' It is just twenty years ago now that they fell in love with two of the prettiest girls in York shire, sisters and heiresses, whose names! were Mary and Florence Arden. As the progress of their love aftairs has not much to do with the gist of my story, it is enough to say that everything went on very satis factorily, and, thatln due course, aod on the , same day, Mary and Florence became' the 1 turned partly on one s'tde, as if with the ef wives of my two cousins, Charles and Frank fort of trying to free itself from the icy grasp respectirely. - Mary was the eldest sister, of ihe tomB. From the date of that discov thoogh at -the time of their marriage she: ery, he haa never ceased to reproach him was barely nineteen, and to ray mind the t self for being in some part the cause of her mos taking and loveable of the two;, of' death ; but be has never ceased to wonder course Frank' though! differently, aod per-J bow it was that the recollection of that dream baps it was well he did so. "I need scarcely tell yoa tbaf the happy, couples passed the hooey-moons verypleas-j aatly in, various spots id England and Scot land, and afterwards settled down a few rn:!oj from'each other' In" close proximity with lhecity of York itself. ' ''The marriage happened in the spring of the yearand in the following autumn, much to the delight of the two brides, it was de termined that a yacht should be' chartered' for a few months, and the winter spent in cruising about from place to . place their ideas chiefly pointed towards the Mediterra nean as tbey one and all bad a great desire to visit Malta and Gibraltar and' moreover, if possible, to Jand; at 'Africa"; I lh latter I believe merely that they might have the satisfaction of saying that they had onca f..n a r!- ' - Truth URG. COLUJH BI A lng ground set apart tor strangers woo were no Roman Catholics. Mary Livingston, who had been, so they afterwards recol lected, silent and apparently pru-occupied all that day, when she first caught sight of the cemetery started, and seemed surprised; after they bad looked about them, and la mented the general untidiness that pre vailed, she suddenly astonibed them all by walking to one corner of ground more elevated than the rest, where she stopped, and planting her foot on a certain-spot raid she was going to relate a curious dream she bad had during the previous night. ".She dreamt, she said, first thai she was lying in the cabin of the yacht sick almost onto death ; that her husband and sister, standing by, seemed, by their actions and gestures, to imagine that she was dead; but thongh she was conscious of what was tak ing place, yet she was utterly unable to move hand or foot, or to make any sound to attract their attention ; in the second part of her dream she seemed to be carried on men's shoulders, still perfectly conscious, along the road they had just traversed, that she passed by their aid into the cemetry, and that the men deposited their burden on the very spot where she then stood a grave had been dug, appearently for her, she sop posed, and she was buried, so it seemed to her in her dream, alive, but motionless and powerless to help herself in any way. The horror of her situation, as she was being lowered into the earth, seemed to give her strength, and in the 8ct of striving to cry out she awoke.' What seemed so curious to her was, that though she bad never seen the burial-ground before, or the road that led to it, yet, when she came to visit them the day after her dream, she found that the re ality was just exactly like the'dream?' "Weil, hot,'.' I interrupted, "you haven't told us anything yet that ' "Excuse me, ''.replied our hostess, 'but if jou will do me the favor of waiting till I have finished my story you will find yoo will have no reason to complain. "Her hnsband and her friends laughed at Mary for her evident belief in her dream, and ascribed the whole circumstance to in. digestion ; they did not, however,stay much longerin the cemetery, but returned to the yatcht.' " Two days "trrs'twardf, and on tbo even ing before that on which, they proposed leaving Gibraltar, Mary Livingston was sud denly taken ill. a doctor was at once sent for, who pronounced her attack to be a slight one of cholera, assuring her friends at the same time that they need not be under . 1 . . ' . , ''i however the symptoms changed for the J 1 t worse, and so rapidly, that before evening it was evident she was sinking fast, and that no hopes could be entertained of her recov ery. She died during the night. Her bus band, as yon may imagine,' was overcome with grief, but he had to stifle his feelings, and settle all things, connected with her fu neral, which was obliged to take place on the evening of the very day after she died. "All, at I was told afterwards, happened according to that dream of hers ; she was carried alo.ig that sleep road, and her grave ; had been dug on the very spot where but a few days ago she had stood before tbem full of life and beauty;but strange to say,aod al most incredible, neither, her husband nor sister remembered the circumstance of her relating her dream to them ; and it was not until some six or seven months afterwards, that one evening in the twilight of their 1 Yorkshire borne, Jhe memory of the stroll throogh the burial-ground and the event j connected with it flashed across the mind of I the widowed husband. Remorse at the thought af its being now all to late was his first feeling, and then an irrepressible desire seized him a longing to see if his darling's dream had come true, and if ibe bad, in re ality, been buried alive. As fast as it was possible for him "10 do so, he berried to Gib raltar; it was with some difficulty that he ob tained permission to have the ground open ed, and when be -had succeeded h? found that his worst feara had been realized; there was no doubt left in his mind that his wile bad recovered consciousness after she had been supposed to be dead, for the body was of hers passed-so quickly from. his mind, and. was not revived till so long afterwards. "The grave he told me, is marked by a white cross of marble, with the initials "11. L.' on it and the date of jier death." . , The. tale of our hostess was finished ; and as; she ended, the memory of that grave with its wreath of flowers and the bleak graveyard came Into my mind, and made Ihe prdbabilities of the story more apparent 10 me. J haVe. told the tale as it was told to me ; for myself I believe it to be trne ; for my readers' they most decide lor them-elves.-: ' ' 7 " The names; of couMe,' have been altered, as, for. aught, J know iq ihe contrary, soma of the actorsic; that carious; dream are liv ing till.V- 7' ' '. , (; V u A and Right God and ocr Country. COUNTY; PA.. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1865. ' 7 A Tale of Terror. At the 1 Crow Inn" at Antwerp, some years ago, a white spectre was seen bearing a lamp in one hand and a bunch of keys in the other thia unpleasant visitor was seen by a variety of travellers passing along the corridor- ; Nothing would katisfy the neighbors that an unfortunate traveller had not been at eome period or other despatched in that fa tal room by one of the previous landlords of Ihe house; Ihe hotel gradually obtained the name of the "Haonled Inn," and ceased to be frequented by its old patrons. The landlord finding himself on the brink of ruin, determined to sleep in the haunted room, wiih a view of proving the ground lessness of the story. To make the matter more sure, as be said, he caused the hostler to bear him company on pretence of requir ing a witness to the absurdity of the report; bat in reality, from cowardice. At dead of night, however, just as the two men were composing themselves to sleep in one bed leaving another which was in the room untenanted the door flew open and in gli ded the spectre. Without pausing to ascertain what it might attempt on approaching the bed towards which it directed its coarse the tw,o merf rushed naked out of the room ; ard by the alarm they created, confirmed more fully than ever the evil repute of the house. Unable longer to sustain the cost of so unproductive an establishment, the poor landlord advertised for sale the house in which he and his father before him were born and had passed their lives. But bid ders were as scarce as customers ; Ihe inc remained for sale for nearly a year, during which, from time to lime, the spectre re appeared At length an officer of the garrison, who had formerly frequented the house, moved to compassion in favor of the poor host, on derook to clear op the mystery by sleeping in the aforesaid chamber; nothing doubted that the whole was a trick of some envious neighbor, desirous of deteriorating the value of the freehold iu order to become a pur chaser. ; . His offer having been gratefully accepted the captain took up his headquarters in the fatal room, with a bottle of wine and a brace of loaded pistols on the table- before him, determined to fire at whatever object might enter the room. At the usual hour of midnight, accord ingly, when the door flew open and the white spectre, bearing a lamp and a bunch of keys, made its appearance, he seized both his pistols, when fortunately, as his finger was upon ihe point of touching the trigger, he perceived that the apparition was no other than the dangler of his host, a young and pretty girl, evidently waiting in her sleep. Preserving the feiriclst si lence, he watched her set down the lamp, place her keys carefully on the chimney , . . . . , . . n In a dnrl PAtlPA In Ind rprAlp nP(l whirh place and retire to the opposite bed, which, as it afterwards proved, she had occupied during the lifetime of her late mother, who slept in the room. No sooner had she thoroughly com pr,.ed herself, than the officer, after locking the door of the room, went in search of her father and several competent witnesses, in cluding the water bailiff of the district, who had been one of the loudest in circulating the rumors fconcerningthe Haunted Inn. The poor girl was found quietly asleep in bed, and her terror on awaking in the dread ful chamber afforded sufficient evidence to all present of the state of somnambulism in which she had been entranced. From that period the spectre was seen no more, probably because the landlord's daughter removed shortly afterward to a home of her own ; and the tales of horror so freely circulated to the bewilderment of the poor neighbors, ended in the simple story ot a young girl walking in her sleep. A fellow in Aroostook county. Me, an swered a New York advertisement repre senting that the advertiser could furnish any person with a wife. The advertiser replied directing the writer to a neighbor ing asvlum for idiots'. The same youth, not at all abashed, whose r..nre is John Morris, speaks of himself as follows : Iam 18 years old, have a good set of teeth, and believe in, Andy Johnson, the star-spangled banner, and tbe 4th of July. I have taken up a State lot, cleared up eigh- teen acres last year, aod seeded, ten of it down.

A Qcetion for Lawters.' A'newspaper correspondent,' having lately visited the Si ameese twins, put the following question : Should Chang, one of the twins, infringe the law by something worthy of death how should be be punished and justice be satis fied, if it could not be without the death of tbe innocent?

His Coolness and Courage He Makes a Wi'l Amid tke Howling of the Tempest The Vet- , tel Goes to Pieces and he is Drowned. A San Francisco correspondent furnishes this account of a remarkable case of cool- ress and courage. The Gentleman aliuaea , to was JameB Nisbet of The San Francisco ; Bulletin, who was lost on the steamship Brother Jonathan, and his body was found floating in the ocean seven miles from land. When it was taken ashore and examined ther9 was found in the deceased's vest pock et a will which was writen after the ship struck the fatal rock. Contemplating calm ly ihe terrible scenes about him, and calcu lating his chances for life, he had the cool courage to make such a disposition of his property as would be most beneficial to thot-e who would be left behind him. That old man writing a will amid the howling of the tempest that was lashing the ocean into foaming billows.and aurrounded by drown ing men, women and children wailing out their agony to the pitiless winds and the raging sea, presents a heroic picture. Here is a copy ol the will, and let the reader ob serve with what care it is written. 'At Sea on Board the Brother Jonathan July 20, 1865. "In view of death, I hereby appoint my brother, Thomas Nitbei, at present engaged on ihe Pacific Railroad, near Clipper Gap, California, my sole executor, with instruc tions to wind up my whole estate, real and pereoiial, and convert ihe same iuto cah, with all conveuient speed, but 60 as not to sacrifice the same, and to pay over and di vide the same equally between himself and my sole sister Margaret Nisbet, now resid ing in England ; and under burden of the payment of a legacy of 5,000 in gold to Almira Hopkins, wile of Casper T. Hop kins, insurance agent, San Francisco, Cal And I desire that my brother, said Thomas Nisbet, shall not be asked to give security for his intromission with my estate. Jab. 'Nisbet " The document was written with a pencil, the writer cooly recollecting that pencil marks are less affected by water than ink marks. It was clearly written in Mr. Nis bei's bold and steady penmanship. When he bad concluded tbe will he found that he had yet a little time left betore the ship would probably go down, and he added the following brief note to a family in this city where he had boarded for many years : ''Mr Dear Ma: A thousand affectiona'e adieus. You spoke of my sailing on Fri day hangman's day and ihe unlucky Jon-, alhan. Well, here I am with death before me. My love to you all to Casper, to Belle, Mellie, aud little Myra kiss her lor me. Never forget Grandpa.''' The children familiarly addressed (heboid nsn as grandpa, although he was in no way related to them. Matrimomal Inconstancy. A queer in stance in illustration of this vice has recent ly teen brought to light in a neighboring town. A married woman moving in high circle, leit her home one evening last week, aud. taking a conveyance to a hotel in the rural districts, was soon joineil by an un faithful husband, who ought to have been at home taking care of his own family, in stead of ergagitjg in intimate companion ship with those outside of his own house ho'd. The couple ordered a room together, representing themselves as man and wile. At a later hour the same night, a carriage drove up to the door of the hotel with an otner couple, who engaged lodgings in an adjoining chamber. All passed off quietly enough until next morning, when the two couples'were summoned to the breakfast table. There they met, when lo and be hold ! there was a mere change of part ners, each gentleman having upon his arm the wife of the other! Although there was mutual blushing mental cursing and recrim ination, it was deemed best, after a sober, second thought, to let the matter rest as quietly as possible, but the coincidence was a too remarkable one to avoid the ear of the over curious. Lowell (Mass.; A-Tstrf. An array correspondent writes: In the army and among returned soldierb, I have noted one fact, in particular, somewhat at variance with the usaal theories. It U that light-baited men, of the nervous. , sanguine type, stand campaigning better than the dark haired men, ol bilious temper- ; ament. Look through a raw regiment on its f way to the field, fully one half its members ' sesm to be of tbe black-haired, dark skinned 1 large boney billions type. See that same regiment on its return for muster out, and you will find that the black haired, element hRs melted away, you will notice that two thirds, perhapsthree fourths, of the regiment to be represented by red, brown and flaxen hair. It is also noticed that men from the cities, slighter in physique, and apparently at the outset nnable to ecdure the fatigce and privatioo, stand a severe campaign and fatigue much ' better than ' men from the I agricultural districts. A thin, pale looking dry goods clerk will do' more marching and starving than many a plow boy, who looks muscular enough to take a bull by the tail and throw him over a staked-and-ridered fence. Pittsburg is a queer -place. The other day three men went into a lager beer saloon and two commenced catching' all the flies therein, while the third ate the insects as fast as crught, on a bet that he could eat them quicker than his companions could catch them." They were. arrested and fined hhree dollars each for the fan.- , " If yoo are poor, eit down and .gtowl about it. Bf so doing yoo are sure to jret A Railroad Car at Night. B.F. Taylor has been takiug a railroad ride, and having failed, perhaps, to enjoy the ride, enjoys himself in describing what he saw. The following glimpse at his com panions as they appeared when night said '-sleep," will be appreciated by ait wno have 'been there." I came near forgetting that your old friends were all on the train; the woman who plumps down into your seat and regards yoa with thankless and supercilious eye brows, as if yoa were somebody that had blundered into breathdom without leave ; and the man who dons his best garments to travel in ; mounts the train as clerical as black broad cloth can make him.and leaves it with the looks of a dusty miller. And the night scenes, sounds and scents are as curi ous as ever. Whiffs of boots and smothering gusts of musk, patchouli, cheese, tobacco, and feet that could never be fit to "walk on Zion's bill" without a wade and wash in the Jordan, are blended. As the night wears on, the fellow who always fails t5 be J funny flickers out like a penny-dip; the ten-pin of a man who had sat bolt upright all day, grows aa courtly as a Mandarin, for even "Homer nods" at times; the girl with little giggle, that had been rippling like run ning water, "weak, washy" and everlast ing, intermits; grows interesting and falls asleep ; men make letter Z's of themselves, 6hut up like pocket-knives, roll up like por cupines, diverge like Y's; trim and shapely women tumble to pieces, and lie in little heaps of undistinguishable garments upon the seats, the red and dissipated lamps wink sleepily and hazily at you, and tbe clatter-te-clank of the iron wheels hammers out the long, dull strip of darkness. Then comes that menagerie ol respiration that men have agreed lo call sncring; yoa hear barks, snorts, snuff, and growls ; one creaks like a rusty hinge, another pants like an engine, or whines like a spaniel, or is for ever blowing oat candles, liy and by, the car windows turn rebel grej,(or a day is beginning to dawn. Did yon ever see a woman hatched out? Now is the 'golden opportunity. Leda il that is the lady's name we read of whose dooble-yolked egg gave us Castor and Pollux if I havn't for gotten all abonttit was hardly more won derful.

Profanity is cna of tbe most offensive and disgusting habits to; which unredeemed humanity is given ; to say nothing of its sinfulness, (which every one of course underused s.) profane swear ing is a vile, vulgar, low bred habit, from th9 indulgence of which a proper self-respect should restrain a man, even if he hs.s no regard for the dictates of religion. It is a habit, loo, which increases with fearful j rapidity, when once given way to; and we 1 have krjown of instances where men who were once highly respectable, but who, unfortunately contraaied this habit, have soon sunk so low as to use pro fa no language ia their own families, and even to swear at their wives and children.

''What did yoar mother say, my little man 1 Did yoa give ber ray card?" asked an inexperienced young gentleman of a little boy, who?e mother had given him an invitation to call upon her, and her street door was accorJ ingly opened to bis untimely summons by the urchin aforesaid.

' -' ' ' " From the LouuvVle Pre Sspt. 25 J The fall of such a msn as Colonel Jacqow is sufficient to arouse the sorrow of every man who knows the former worth .'6f tbe gallant Jacquep. He was one of the first and most influential of the Methodist de nomination, in Illinois. When that body established a female educational school in Jacksonville he was placed in charge of it. He managed it with such talent and success that when a greater educational enterprise was projected he was transferred to it. He was engaged in this when the rebellibn commenced. Col. Jacques was a man of intense loyally, of commanding influence, and oi great oratorical ability. He took the field in behalf of tbe. Uuion, and sp'eedily raised one of the finest regfrnerits'tha't Illi nois gave to the service of the 'Union, h was caHed tbe preachers' regiment, on ac count of the number of preachers enlisted in it. Of this regiment Jacques was made Colonel, and he served with great dis'inc lion. During the progress of the war 'Colonel Jacques had numerous conferences with Bishop Simpson, and both were well satis fied that if a Methodist of proper position in the North could get among the Southern . Methodists much might be done-toward crippling the rebellion. .This mission Col. Jacques undertook with the approval 'of Bishop Simpson and of Mr. Lincoln. Col. Jicques bravely met tbe peril, and travelled extensively among the Southern Methodists. He returned just before the battle of Chick amaoga, and took a conspicuous part in that battle. ; ; Col. Jacques was the companion of M.t. Gilmore in a visit to Richmond for an in terview with Jeff. Davis, in which musioti they succeeded. This visit was intended to bring about peace.

Mr. Tnrner, "the policeman, saw signs of the outrage in progress, and rnado his preparations for arresting the guilty par-, ties, in which, as we have said, he suc ceeded. We do not rejoice in iniquity, and we cannot bat drop tears of sorrow Over the fall of such a man as Col. Jacques. ' Tbe Da; and the iToor. . ... A certain Captain Baker, an "engineer officer in the British service, haa recently published 9 book . in which the end of ths world is set dotvn for September 20tb, 1878. Nothing can be more . regular and ship Fhape than the style in which the events that are lo precede the grand catastrophe " are chroni'C ltd. In December, 1867,Jaeen Victoria is to resign, and the Prince of Walei to become Prince Regent. Inl869and 1870 Austria is to seize Greece, and Russia gobble Turkey. Between 1 87 1 and 1874 inclusive, ftursia is to take Greece frim Austria, and receive homage from Francis Joseph ; after which Napoleon is to make covenant with the Jews, and the Czar to get himself killed in a row with the French and Jews in Palestine. About this , time Louis Napoleon wiR become paramount throughout all the countries comprised in the Old Roman world, prior to his first ap pearance as Antichrist. The letter event will not coma off until after the translation of the saints; which, if Captaia Baker' programme is correct, will occur all o'clock A. M. January 25 h, 1875. Shortly . after wards Paris is to be taken by tbe English of course. Previous to the grand finale, Antichrist, otherwise Louis Napoleon, will have a good time generally, smiting, the Saints, hip and thigh, blaspheming, ahd compelling church members and other re spectable people to go down on their marrow bones end worship him.. The per formances will conclude some lime in 1878. and it is announced that there can be no postponement under any circumstances, be cause the world will be six thousand years old and must be abated as a public nui sance. . , , . No doubt many people will believe this stuff and tremble supposing that a crack brained engineer has fathomed . the secret which the Saviour has expressly declared uo man shall fathom ! Marvellous is human gullibility. .... Waggs went to the depot of one of out railroads the other evening, and finding the best cir full, said in a loud tone , . "Why this car isn't going." ' . - Of c onrse these words caused a general stampede, and Waggs tookthe best seal. The c-ara soon moved off. In, the midst of the indignation, the wag was questioned ''Yon said this car wasn't going ?' jWell, it wasn't then, but it is now."
