THE lectures which have recently been delivered on "living burials," by a physician of eminence, prove that such things happen In countries where rapid Interment succeeds death much lnore frequently than the generality of people would deem possible. We who hold our dead sacred, and who err, If anything, on the side of keeping them too long unburied, must naturally feel a kind of horror creep over us when, from circumstances, we are brought to witness what In haste aud want of rev erence the last sad ceremories are gone through In some countries where climate render speedy interment after decease an absolute necessity. I propose to relate three marvelous escapes from liv ing burials which happened to different members of the same family at different period. The scene was in Italy; the facts were related to me by the daughter of two of the parties concerned, and I shall tell the tale as nearly as possible as she told it to me : "You will scarcely wonder," she said, "at my horror of being burled alive when I tell you that a peculiar fate seems to pursue on r family, or at least did pursue it In the last generation. My father was an only son and, from hav ing been born several years after his parents marriage, was an object of espe cial devotion. Ills mother was unable to nurse him herself, and a country woman was procured from a village some dis tance from the chateau where his parents resided, who was not only well calculated to replace the mother as a nurse, but was of so affectionate a disposition that she seemed to throw her whole soul into her care for the well being of the child, and lavished as much affection on him as did the real mother. When the age came for weaning him, it was found Impossible to accomplish it while the nurse remained with him ; and so, after many terrible scenes and the most heart-rending sorrow on her part, she had to go. The boy throve very well until he was about three years old, when he was attacked by some childish malady and to all appearance died. " It is unnecessary to dwell on the dis tracted grief of the parents. The mother could scarcely be induqed to leave the body, and, even though all life was extinct, grudged every moment as it flew toward the time when even what was left of her darling would have to be removed forever. (The time that was allowed by the Government for bodies to remain unburied was three days.) The father gave strict orders that the child's nurse should not be informed of the death of her foster son until after the funeral, as he felt convinced she would at once come to see him, and he dreaded the effect the sight of her grief might have on the already broken-hearted wife. However, the order was ill-kept, and on the morning of the funeral, after the guests had arrived aud were grouped round the coffin taking their last fare well of the lovely boy, in rushed the nurse, her hair down, her dress all torn and travel-stained, her boots nearly worn olTber feet. On hearing the news, Bhe had started o(T without waiting for extra clothing, without word or look to any one, and had run the whole night in order to be in time to see her boy. As she entered the room, she pushed past the servants and guest, and, on reaching the coffin, seized tne child, and, before any one was aware of her intention, or had presence of mind to prevent her, she had vanished with him in her arms. It was found she had carried him off to the grcnicr, or garret. She paid no attention to threats or en treaties, and all attempts at forcing the door were equally fruitless. The guests waited patiently, hoping that she would before long return to her senses, and bring back the child's body for burial. "At the end of an hour or more they heard the heavy furniture rolled away and the door opened. The nurse ap peared, but with no dead child in her arms the little thing's arms were clasped lovingly round her neck as she pressed him to her bosom. The mourn ful assemblage was turned Into one of joyful congratulation. The woman would never speak of the meaus she used to restore the boy jo consciousness ; indeed, although she became from that hour a resident in 'the family and a trusted and valued friend, she forebore ever refering to the iucldent in which she played so important a part. Bhe lived to see the rescued child married and with a family of his own around him. " The heroine of the second anecdote wan a first count n to the above 'rescued child' a young lady of 13 or 14 years old. After a somewhat protracted ill nets, she to all appearance died. The mother literally refused to believe it, although the doctors and the other Inmates of the house saw no reason to doubt the fact. The funeral was arrang ed, the grave,made, and the specified three days had come to an end. The mother had never left her daughter's bxJy; she had tried every availnble means to restore her, but to no avail. As the hour approached for the cere mony to take place, she became more and more distracted and more deoperate in her efforts to convince herself that llf'e still lingered. As a lust resource, she went for some strong elixir, and taking out of her pocket a fruit knife With two blades one blade of gold, the other of silver proceeded by continual wolkl ng to force the gold blade between the teeth ; when inserted, she poured a drop of elixir on the blade, then anoth er and another, and tried to make It enter the mouth ; but it seemed only to trickle back again and down the chin. Still she persevered, becoming more desperate as the moments flew on to the hour, now so near, when her child was to be taken from her. At the very last, when she was beginning to dread the very worst, she thought she detected a slight spasm in the throat, and, on closer examination she became aware that the.llquld was no longer returning as It did at first. Bhe continued the application, every moment feeling more excited and more Joyfully hopeful. Presently the action of swallowing be came more decided ; she felt a feeble flutter at the heart, and before long, the eyes gradually opened and closed agalu but the breathing became quietly regu- ' lar, and the mother was satisfied that now no one would dispute the fact ; so she called her household round her, and proved to them the Joyful fact that her child was restored to her, and that no fu neral procession would leave the house that day. Before long the child fully re covered. The fruit knife, with Its two blades, Is to this day the most precious heirloom in the family possessions. "The recovered one lived to form a deep attachment for her cousin (the rescued boy of the first story), possibly from the fact of the strange similarity in their early history; but his affections were al ready engaged by the young lady whose story we are now going to relate, the facts of which resemble somewhat those already told. This young person was no longer a child when death seemed to claim her, but bad reached the age of 18 or 19. Bhe had been suffering from an infectious and dangerous fever, and when the crisis arrived, instead of rallying, she, to all appearances, died. It was the custom in the district in which she lived to dress marriageable girls as brides after death, and to bury them in their bridal costume. The young ludy in question was therefore laid out as a bride, in a white dress, orange-flower wreath and veil. " The day before the funeral, the most intimate friend of the deceased, who bad beeu on a visit at a distance, came home, and insisted with floods of tears that she should be allowed to see her. The mother most delicately refused, ex plaining that her daughter had been the victim of an infectious fever, and that she could not allow the daughter of a friend to run the risk of catching it. The young lady persisted, and would not leave the house; but the mother, much as it pained her, was firm in her refusal. However, in the evening the young friend, being on the watch, saw the paid watcher leave the room to go down to her supper, leaving the door unlock ed. She immediately entered, and, hav ing reverently kissed her friend's pale face, knelt down by the side of the bed to pray. There were candles at each side of the bed at its head, and two placed on a table at its foot. " The poor girl was deep in her pray ers, when suddenly, without any warn ing, the dead girl sat up, and said, in a fcbarp tone of voice, Que fait In la f (What are you doing there V) Startled and horrified to the lust degree, her friend sprung from her knees, and, iu trying to ru.sh out of the roon upset the table on which the candles were placed, and became wedged between it and the bed, her head downmost. In extricably entangled, she shrieked loud ly for help. The supposed dead girl had a 'keen sense of the ridiculous, and, be ing weakened from illness, Bhe went oil into a hysterical fit of laughter ; aud the more her poor friend kicked and scream ed, the more she keep up the duet by peals of laughter. " The mother and household, hearing the noise, rushed up as quickly as possi ble. The mother was the first to enter the room, and, being a quick-witted woman, at once comprehended the situ ation. She flew to her daughter, nd, angrily ordering her to be quiet and not laugh at her friend's misfot-ttrae, she pressed her to her bosom, and, hastily tearing off wreath and Veil, dropped them on the floor and kicked thetu un der the bed ; then, culling assistance, she carried the girl into another room -and put her to bed. "The doctor wlro had been at once sent for, ordered her to be taken from home without delay, and they started as soon as possible. She perfectly recovered.but strangely enough, could never call to mind the startling events of her return to life. ' She afterwards married the gen tleman wbo was the hero of our first story. Her poor friend, when extri cated from her unpleasant position, was quite delirious ; she had n nervous fever, of which she nearly died, and she never entirely recovered from the shock her friend's sudden return to life had given her." On writing to the lady who related these anecdotes for permission to pub lish, she says : " You are at liberty to make what use you like of our family story, on condi tion you do not mention names of fami ly or places ; but you may add that all three who were so nearly burled alive lived to be old my father to 84, my mother and aunt to TO retaining their health, rare Intelligence, and to a won derful extent their personal beauty, to the last." Mourning Apparel. There Is good sense in the following remarks, published some years ago, and we marvel much that the custom to which they refer is not entirely abol ished : The principal objections against the custom of wearing mourning apparel are that is useless, inconvenient, and expensive. For what use does It serve V To re mind me I am in affliction V I do not need any such memento. To point me out to others as a mourner ? I most certainly do not wish to be so pointed out. Shall the sable garb be adopted then because it is grateful to my feel ings, because it is a kind of solace to me? I can gain no consolation from it. If, then, the custom is useless, it Is still more objectionable on account of the Inconvenience and expense. It Is inconvenient, because It throws the care of purchasing and making clothes upon a family at the very moment when on every account it most needs neeluslon and quietness ; when, worn out with care and watching and sorrow, It needs retirement and relief. That the expenses press heavily upon the poor is a matter very well known, and I believe generally regretted. If, then, there is a custom in the communi ty which is of no real benefit, and is a real burden, It would seem a clear infer ence that it ought to be discouraged. If there be any who fear that they shall be too soon forgotten among men when they are gone, let them be reminded that it depends upon themselves, not upon the habiliments 'of their friends ; upon their character and not upon their obsequies, whether they shall be remem bered. " The memorial of virtue," salth the wisdom of Solomon, "is immortal." When it is present, men take example of it, aud when it 13 gone they preserve it; it weareth a crown of triumph forever." Words That Some Spellers Miss. The following is an orthographical test for teacher, pupils, or other persons: Stand up, j;e teachers now and spell, Spell phenaklstoscope and knell; Or take some simple word, as chilly, Or gauger, or the garden lily, To spell such as syllogism, And lachrymous and sychronisra, And pentateuch and saccharine, Apocrypha and celandine, lactiferous and cerity, Jejune and homncpathy, Paralysis and Chloroform, Khlnoceros and pachyderm, Metempsychosis, gherkins, basque, Is certainly no easy task. Kaleidoscope and Tennessee, Kamtscbatka and dispensary, Diphthong and erysipelas, And etiquette and sassafras, Infallible and ptyalism, Allopathy and rheumatism, And cataclysm and beleaguer, Twelfth, eighteenth, rendezvous, intri guer, And hosts of other words are found On English and on classic ground. Thus Behring's Strait and Mich tolnias, Thermopylae Cordilleras, Suite, hemorrhage, Jalap and Havana, Cenquefoll and Ipecacuanha, And Jtappahannock, Shenandoah, And Schuylkill and a thousandmore, Are words that some good spellers miss In Dictionary lands like this, Nor need one think himself a scroyle If some of these his efforts foil, Nor deem himself undone forever To miss the name of either river The Dueiper, Seine, or Guadalquivir. A Railway Adventure. A former superintendent of the Prov idence aud Worcester railroad says that one night when stationed at Providence in charge of the freight department, a freight train was late, and there remain ed but twenty minutes to clear the track for a coming express train. This wasn't unusual, and as the red light was burn ing for a signal no one felt alarmed. Hilton says : " I walked out to the very end of the depot platform, and there I suddenly heard In my ear these words, twice repeated and with Impressive dis tinctness "Hilton, the light will go out! Hilton.the light will go out !" The sound was so positive, and struck me with such Btrange power, that I in stantly looked at my watch-, Baw that the Shore Line express was due in three minutes, grabbed the red lantern on the last car of the freight train and ran up the track with all the speed of which I was capable. Along I fairly flew, Im-i pel led by some strange Intuition that there was danger, and never question lng for an instant os I ran why I was ruuning or what I was to do. Arrived ot the first end of the curve near the Corliss-engine Works, I stopped, and for an Instant turned aud looked back at the red light. It was burning, but in a second it fluttered a little and suddenly went out," and there came the express train. Hilton shouted and swung hi lantern, and the engineer, seeing him whistled down brakes, and avoided col lision. Then they examined the light, and could see no possible reason why it should havegoneout. It was full of oil, with a perfect wick, and there was fto wind blowing, although, if there hhd been, it should have remained burning, as it had before through many a storm. There were ordinarily but two passenger cars on.the express, and this night there were seven, all full. Hilton firmly be lieves the voice was supernatural. A RUSSIAN LEGEND. The Russian peasantry have a curi ous tradition. It Is that an old woman, the Baboushka, was at work In her house, when the wise men from the East passed on their way to find the Christ-child. "Come with us," they said, "we have Just seen the star ti the East and go to worship him." " I will come, but not now," she answered ; "I have my house to set in order;, when that is done I will follow and find him." But when her work was done the three kings had passed on their way across the desert and the star shone no more in the darkened heavens. She never saw the Christ-child, but she Is living and searching for him still. For his sake she takes care of all his chil dren. It is she wbo in Russian and Italian houses is believed to fill the stockings and dress the tree on Christ mas morn. The children are awakened by the cry of " Behold the Baboushka P, and spring up hoping to see her before she vanishes out of the window. She fancies, the tradition goes, that in each poor little one whom she warms ant feeds she may find the Christ-child, whom she neglected ages ago, but is doomed to eternal disappointment. Let this be a warning to each reader to respond at once to the call which conies to every heart, to seek Christ and Salva tion. Let not the call pass Deglected, for It may not come again. LOST WOMEN. The following thoughts we commend to the public : " Has it ever occurred to you what a commentary upon our civilization are those lost women and the attitude of society toward them ? "A little child strays from its home inclosure, and the whole community is on the alert to find the little wanderer and restore it to Its mother's arma. What rejoicing when it is found, what tearful sympathy, what heartiness of congratulations! There are no harsh comments upon tired feet, be they ever so miry. No reprimand for the soiled torn garments, no lack of kisses for the tear-stained face. But let the child be grown into womanhood ; let her be led from it by scourge of want ! What comes ? Do Christian men and womeu go in search of her V Do they provide all possible means for her return to her own nation V- Do they receive her with such kindness and delicacy as to secure her against wandering V Far from it. At the first step she is de nounce! as lost lost! Each, friends and relations we disown you ; don't ever come to disgrace us. Lost says so-, ciety, indifferently. How bad these glrls are ? And lost irretrievably lost is the. prompt verdict of conventional morality, while one and all unite in bolt ing every door between her and morality. Ahl will not those erring ones bo requite ed at our hands hereafter.
