b anything more horrifying to the appre

tible, than the reality t I can never forget
tny boyhood's impressions on this subject.—
They—the thoughts and fancies of a mere
Thad—are living in my memory to this day,
with loathing and terror. I was told of the
practice of the inhabitants of some heathen
lands, who, when their parents hod become
old and burdensome, or when their friends
were hopelessly sick, took them out into the
fields, or by the river's side, and, having dug
a shallow hole in the sand, laid them in, and
covered them under—the old, the wayworn, l
the weary, just ready to die. My fancy p,ic
cured to me with 'terrible distinctness, the
whole seehe. I .could see s _ bind I can see'
vet, the earth thrownin upon the .victim -4
and the mockery of compassion with -which
my childish imagination told me, the unreel
ing son had feeling enough to begin at the
feet, leaving the mouth open to breathe, till
all else was covered—the resigned and desL
pairing look that the dim and faded eye cast
upon the grave's bottom ; I could hear the
appalling shriek that arose, struggling up—
the last breath—a thousand condensed into
one of the last agony, and all was still—si
lent as the. grave That night, and many
a night in after years, was full of the same
agony,
We outlive such feelings, in a ,degree, or
learn to regard such cruelties as belonging
to the nation, and excuse them. They are

But when they happen alongside of us, in
our midst, and among our acquaintances,
although only by accident ; when we have
seen the-apparently dead body, and follow
ed it in mournful procession to the grave;
when we have gone home and forgotten it,
and been for months afterward merry and
gay; and then gone to the same grave,
opened anew for some purpose, and there
seen the rent shmud and disordered grave
clothes, and the thousands things that tell

the words in letters of fire on the coffin's lid ;
our soul's shrink, and shudder, and i fair,
- with a terrible lUathing. These are discov

that top many, alas! the following case is
the only one that has happened within my
own knowledge..
The Rev. Mr. E was a man of
singularly 'active mind, and was a consider

On wßabbath in August, 18—, intensely,

arose and read his text, and commenced his

mare seemed to, press heavily upon evl,
sense, and to- prevent the formation of an, )
one distinct-thought, and it was with diffir
culty that I became convinced that I was
really alive. -Again, instead of being abso
lutely free from all bodily pain, as in my
drowning state, I was now tortured by pain
all over me, and thhtigh I have been since
wounded in Many r 0/acet. and have ,often
submitted to surgical discipline, yet my gut
ferinn were at that time far greater ; at least
in general distress. i On one occasion I was
shot in the lungs, and after lying on the
deck at night fir some hours, bleeding from
other wounds, I at length fainted. Now as
I felt sure that the wound in the lungs was
mortal, it will appear obvious that the over

fainting must have Produced a perfect-con
viction that I - was then in the act of dying.
Yet nothing in the least resembling the op

took place S and when I began to recover,
I returned to a cleat conception of my real

The New York Courier publishes the a-
I bore, -and appends the following remarks:
The extraordinary effect related in the
foregoing letter, of the retrospective activity
of the mind iii a drowning.person—(it is
probably alike 'applicable to other cases of
extremity where exertion to save, life has
ceased)—is.so curious, and yet, us weknow,
in a somewhat analogous Case,- - so entirely

The recalling by i flash, and involuntari
ly, as it were, the' whole past life, by a
drove ring man, and the very singular pecu
liarity that while consciousness is still active,
and death imminent, the past and not the
j future is present to the mind, seem to attest
the. ineffaceable powers of memory, and that
nothing once impressed upon this faculty
ever perishes but becomes immortal as the I
spiritual essence of winch memory is a part.
The,power to recall .at will these impres
sions may indeed perish, but theimpressions
themselves never. The memory is for each
one the true book of life, where every act
done in the body, and every good or evil
thought that has passed . , through the mind,

interest for the suggesiiong which it so un
